4:30 pm - What do you call a male faghag? :o
|
dbzchuck
|
My fiancee has had tons of roommates in the past, and he only keeps in contact with a few. One such ex-roomie is a really fabulous gay guy! They were really close friends and it especially helped that my fiancee was so comfortable with both their sexualities. :) I'm also getting quite close to this friend, to the point that he's now become the fag of both me and my fiancee! I mean... we've BOTH made out with him! 8-D They're so hot together! Hah! XD
Anyway, I'm just wondering if there's a male connotation for 'faghag' that exists, or if there is some equivalent word? :o

This Friday, March 6, the California Supreme Court will begin hearing arguments regarding the validity of Proposition 8.
As I have written before, Ken Starr & other groups who support Prop 8 will be seeking not only to validate the idea that 50% + 1 of voters can single out one group of citizens for special punishment & actually strip them of their constitutional rights, but to take back the legal recognition that the state had given over 18,000 same-sex couples who were married in California since the same court ruled in favor of equal marriage rights.
In handing down their decision in May 2008, Chief Justice Ron George wrote for the court majority:
"Our state now recognizes that an individual's capacity to establish a loving and long-term committed relationship with another person and responsibly to care for and raise children does not depend upon the individual's sexual orientation. An individual's sexual orientation--like a person's race or gender--does not constitute a legitimate basis upon which to deny or withhold legal rights."
At California Faith For Equality, I found this video of various leaders from various denominations in the state of California standing up & speaking out for love. They, and many other different kinds of people from many different backgrounds, have not only filed amicus briefs on behalf of overturning Prop 8, but are working to make sure that the lawmakers, the courts & the voters & citizens of California know that it's not just scary precedent to use a government's most sacred document to actually take away rights; it's just plain wrong to work against the most powerful force in the universe: love.
Please visit the website, Eve of Justice, for more information on the events going on in California this week & what you can do to help!

1:17 pm - Hi-"Fidelity"
|
misterc

 I had first heard of Regina Spektor when she gave the California Courage Campaign permission to use her song, Fidelity, to lend a little musical assistance in the fight for equal marriage rights & to overturn California's Proposition 8. When I had heard the California Courage Campaign was working to get the word out about the dangerous precedent that Prop 8 would set in allowing 50% + 1 of the population to take away the rights of their fellow citizens, I posted about it in my own personal blog and as many places on LJ as I could, and I included a video of Regina's song created by the CCC that presented pictures of some of the real people & real families that would be legally hurt if Prop 8 were allowed to stand. Today, I found Regina's song on YouTube with the original video she created for it. This video, of course, does not mention equal marriage rights, but I think it is a cute & visually appealing little video (well, maybe "little" isn't the right word since--as of the writing of this post--nearly 10 MILLION people have viewed the video on YouTube). I've personally have always believed that an honorable cause deserves a knock-out theme song, and this catchy little tune by our Ms. Spektor--in my mind--more than fills the bill... |

4:21 pm - Please, Don't Divorce Us!
|
misterc
|
The California Courage Campaign reports that Ken Starr (of Clinton-Whitewater-Monica-Lewinsky infamy) & the Prop 8 Legal Defense Fund will present their case to the California Supreme Court starting on March 5, 2009 demanding that the Court void 18,000 marriages of same-sex couples that were legally performed between June 16 & November 4, 2008 in that state. The same court that ruled that citizens of the State of California could not be denied the right of marriage by mere virtue of their sexual orientation will hear Starr’s pleas to not only deny those self-same citizens of the right to marry, but to validate the idea that a minority’s rights are subject to plebiscite. Ken Starr & his minions will, in essence, seek to force divorce on all those couples who simply took advantage of their right to make a legal bond with the person they love.
Even though I don’t live in California, I am on their email list & I got an email from the Courage Campaign today that updated the status of the fight in the Golden State. They included a music video made by the Courage Campaign with pictures of some of the loving couples & their families who will be affected by whatever the California Supreme Court decides (a ruling is expected by the end of June, 2009).
The song in this video is entitled, “Fidelity” by Regina Spektor, who gave full permission to use it in the battle to overturn Prop 8 in California.
After watching the video, I hope you’ll do what I did and sign the online petition standing against what Ken Starr is attempting to do. The last paragraph of the petition states simply:
As Americans who believe in the rule of law and fundamental civil rights, we know that Ken Starr and the Prop 8 Legal Defense Fund's shameful attempt to nullify these unions will not be vindicated in the eyes of history. We know that, ultimately, love will prevail, no matter how hard they try to fight it.
So simple, right??
The email I got today started off by stating, “This video will break your heart,” and it did, but it also reminded me that the Good Fight still needs fighting & that good people can no longer just sit on their hands.

I am really exited to have found this page. I have for many years been a fag hag. I have had so many people question my intentions with being in love with Gay Men but I have no intentions. My default pic is my and my best friend Curtis, or Cherry Blossom. I have many many gay friends and I love them all deeply and would kill for each and every one of them. For the gay men on here what attracts you to your fags? All of my friends say it's my personality and I love that answer. I have the best time with my boys. We go clubbing and dancing and just hand out at the house or go shopping. I have fought for them and I have lost some of them and a piece of me has died with them. So it feels good to have found this site to hopefully talk through some of the ups and downs of being a true blue through and through Fag Hag!!!

A few weeks ago I met a guy named Colin, and he so cute and wonderful. We have become really good friends. One night we were at our favorite bar with some friends discussing kissing, and seeing as how we both think that kissing is just fun and your gender doesn't matter, we kind of made out. *haha* It was awesome hearing our friends' reactions. Then a few days after it came up again and he told me I was a good kisser. Yay me! ^^ I've kissed gay guys before, but those were just pecks on the lips kisses. He's the first gay guy I've made out with. He's my sweetie pie :)

|
misterc

I am not a Mormon-hater (but I am a fag-hag lover), and I realize that there is good & bad in all religions, but the Latter-Day Saints have put up some BIG, BIG money in California to take rights away from people who are guilty only of simply following their hearts & loving another human being of the same gender so much, they want to create a government-sanctioned pact with one another promising to take care of & love each other. No matter the scare tactics the Yes-On-8 (or the Yes-On-2 supporters here in Florida) employ, here's their ugly bottom line:
Plain & simple: These people are committing their millions & their energy to stopping love.
You'd think they'd have something better to do as they seek God's heart.
Watch the video. It's truly disturbing...

Because a being queer is never easy and if we complain we're bitches and if we cry we aren't real men and if we fight for equality we suffer abuse and if we celebrate our difference it's a perverse display and if we put on a dress we want to be a woman but if we want to be a woman we are demeaned and to fit in we play sports, wear suits, and laugh at the wrong jokes and if we hold hands we check whose watching and if we walk home at night we look over our shoulder and when we discuss our partners we use gender neutral terms and if we have children we're pedophiles but if we don't we're bad caretakers and if we live in the ghetto we're part of the clique but if we don't we're aliens among friends and because coming out young gets us thrown out of home and because HIV is divine punishment and because flirting with the wrong guy gets us brutally assaulted and because in many nations my love is a crime with seven wanting my death and because there was more than one holocaust and because marriage is a sacrament between man and woman and because politics are influenced by religious doctrine and because I shouldn't have to fear being different.... I am a queer activist.
Coming Out Story.
I had vague notions of being gay from a young age. At the age of 11, one of my friends from school taught me this game his older brother used to play with him called "orgy." Looking back, it's interesting to see the innocence of it all.
Throughout high school I would begin to fantasise about the guys in gym class. I'd pretty much sit off to the side and perform various acts inside my head to my great amusement. I also remember having a mild romantic interest in the girls, but it was never one sexualised. My interests in girls extended to writing bad poetry, sharing my emotions and living some kind of vicarious courting ritual.
When I was 16, I went to the Rocky Horror Picture show and was picked up by my one and only girlfriend, Katherine, who also had the same birthday as me. Our relationship was also entirely genteel, and unsexualised. Yet when I went down to Canberra for a visit, I had some of my first gay experiences with men there, and started dating a guy down there.
Well, naturally I was in love (so I thought), rash and pig-headed. I uprooted my life in order to move down to Canberra to be with him... only to be dumped on the first day there.
In order to explain this, I blurted out to my mother that "I'm gay and I'm moving to Canberra" in vein hopes that the surprise of the first fact would mask the audacity of the second. When I finally had this coaxed out of my father, he sat down and began to tell me about his experimentation in his youth. The last thing I wanted to hear about while struggling with my sexual identity was the idea that dad could have been a "daddy."
So somewhere amid the chaos, the confusion and the torment, I found my own feet and have been sure and firm of who I am.
My assault on the bus last week
I sit up at the back of the bus, and the guy next to me turns to me and starts by telling me that I'm the ugliest thing he's seen today. I'm taken aback in an amused fashion at his temerity, but still finding myself secure in my own sense of being. I basically tried to figure out what his agenda was and soon he began escalating the matter. Not paying attention to him and he kept going, mostly I just sat there and smiled, even laughing. It just became so furious it was comical.
This guy is shouting angry homophobic insults at me, trying to make me feel worthless and demeaned and all the time I'm just thinking to myself how in control of the situation I was. I was not frightened, or scared, and I didn't even believe he'd hit me. It was all a bunch of sound and fury signifying nothing - accusing me of being all stupid for finding him attractive or going off to play the piano or flute or some musical instrument. The wonderful assumptions he was making about a sexual stereotype.
I even accused him of having a homophobic reaction which was hilarious. He threatened to call the police on me for making him angry or some shit, I can't remember. So I took out my phone to take a photo of him so I could pass it to the police.
That's when he knocked the phone out of my hand and laid his hands on me. At this point I'm still laughing because he's in my mind this yapping little dog. I asked if he was going to hit me, or what he was going to do, but he said he was going to call the police for daring to take a photo of him.
Eventually he left because I sure as hell was not going to be dislodged from my seat.

okay, so i have been best friends with this guy named neil since the third grade. and about 6 months ago, neil came out. that's cool with me.
i'm actually thrilled, because it was painfully obvious y that he was gay and it made me sad that he thought he had to hide it from me. now we check out guys together, go to gay clubs etc. etc and other various sterotypical girl-and-gay-best-friend things. that's cool too.
what isn't cool is that ever since neil came out, my mom has been calling me a fag hag. not in the normal, "oh you're a fag hag hahaha" way, but in a rather patronizing way, as if i'm only friends with him because he is gay. i have no problem with the label or it's connotations, in fact i think it is pretty cool, but i think my mom is being a little ridiculous. she makes fun of both myself and neil constantly and it's extremely irritating.
my question is: is a girl still considered a fag hag even if she was friends with the fag in question before he figured out he was a fag?
