Illinois lawmaker introduces gay marriage bill
Rep. Greg Harris (D-Chicago) has fired up the gay marriage debate in Illinois. He has introduced a bill that would legalize marriage between same sex couples. The proposal would eliminate wording in state law that marriage is between "a man and woman" and substitute the phrase "two persons."

Gaynsta Rapper Deadlee Calls Out Homophobic Eminem, 50 Cent, and DMX
Article posted on Yahoo.
L.A.-based openly gay rapper Deadlee says he'll be headlining the first regional tour of gay and lesbian rap and Hip-Hop artists, called the Homorevolution Tour 2007, beginning in March.
Deadlee who says he is tired of the homophobic status quo present in rap and Hip-Hop, has called out some of his fellow rappers for their anti-gay language and homosexual tendencies in an interview with AllHipHop.com:
Says Deadlee: "Eminem was called out for his juvenile, hateful approach to homosexuality, especially in his song 'Criminal.' He was the biggest rapper at the time and if he used the same song as a diss to Blacks or Latinos, he would probably be dead. Eminem likes to pick on the 'weak' but gay[z] aint weak and he might be a f*g himself. He knew all the subcultures in that song.
Deadlee also comes down on DMX's references to "homo thugs" and constant use of faggot in his lyrics: "I find it crazy when his videos are very homoerotic. All the guys kicking it with their shirts off!"
He takes issue with rapper 50 Cent, who told Playboy in April 2004: I ain't into faggots. I don't like gay people around me, because I'm not comfortable with what their thoughts are. I'm not prejudiced. I just don't go with gay people and kick it - we don't have that much in common. I'd rather hang out with a straight dude. But women who like women, that's cool."
Says Deadlee: "Fuck him. I don't like ignorant bitches around me, so he can suck my gun. He is a classic man who had Homo-feelings and chooses to lash out because he is afraid he might act out on his true feelings. 50 Cent has deep rooted homosexual tendencies."
Joining Deadlee on the Homorevolution Tour are gay and lesbian MCs Johnny Dangerous, Delacruz, Melange Lavonne, Salvimex, Bigg Nugg and JFP. The tour will hit ten cities in Southern California and the Southwest.
Deadlee (website: www.deadlee.com), who is one-fourth black and three-quarter Mexican (blaxican), is experiencing rising popularity as a result of his work in the documentary and a heavy push on MySpace, Gay Media and being featured in LOGO's Hip Hop Homos. He recently received interest from MTV and The L Word. His performance in the film has been noted in the straight rap magazine URB and in articles in the NY Daily News as well as other sources. In June, He had a full page photo in the Nation's number one Gay and Lesbian magazine, The Advocate
"I've always loved the freaks," says Los Angeles hip-hop artist Deadlee, a sexy, macho Blatino. He looks every bit an LA street thug but was actually raised in Denver, Colorado. We are watching the low-rent drag show at the Study, one of his favourite local hangouts in Hollywood.
The Study is "double ghetto," catering to patrons who are both African-American and gay. "You got two things on top of you. You're not only gay, but you're brown or black," Deadlee says into my ear over the music. Living in the Ramparts district of Los Angeles Deadlee knows the double ghetto real well. We came here tonight to enjoy the party-in-the-living room atmosphere in one of a half-dozen Los Angeles nightclubs, where hip hop and queer culture actually intersect in public.
Some of these guys might not be fully out and are hanging here tonight on the down low. But in here everything is relaxed and loose, just like the music, that cuts across colour and class lines. It seems only white gay men have missed the rebel stance in hip hop's take-over of the airwaves, warned off by the homophobic and misogynist tendencies of mainstream rappers. But with most of the music being targeted for teenage boys, can we be blamed?
"The Puff Daddys and Jay Zs have about said all there is to say about the bling-bling [big money], cars, weed and women. It's all been done. To me, it's just not the real thing. How many people are going to get the mansions?" says Deadlee. There was a time when artists like Public Enemy, Ice T and NWA mixed a political consciousness with the beats.
Unfortunately, the language of violence and hatred proved more powerful out in the marketplace, giving rise to what is now known as gangster rap and the attention grabbing antics of Eminem, whose flow is almost as good as his ability to keep on shocking the suburbs. "There's a home for Eminem killing his mother or for beating his girl up," Deadlee says.
"There's a home for that, but there's not a home for being truthful about your sexuality. "I still believe in its form of storytelling, but rap must continue to change, morph and open the doors to everyone if it wants to be as relevant as it once was." Deadlee is one of a small but growing handful of out, queer rappers; he put out his searing and complex debut release, Seven Deadlee Sins, on his own label last year.
Full of dark drama, it paints a chaotic landscape of queer street-life. Its dark themes and edgy soundscape is simply unlike anything out there by mainstream rappers. But then party music isn't Deadlee's game nor his influences. "Rap is the new punk. I like Sid Vicious, Kurt Cobain and Axel Rose," Deadlee says "They live or die for their pain. I kind of wear the shit, too. I can't hide my fucking pain; it just comes out."
The clientele at the Study tonight don't know he's a rising underground star but when the floor show is over and the DJ is pumping hip hop hits, all eyes are on Deadlee dancing as if lost in his own world, a pretty boy hoodlum with his pants hanging off his ass, jailbird tattoos all over his neck and Tupac head wrap on top of his beautiful face.
Here in Los Angeles where even ghetto beauty must face the unflinching gaze of Hollywood, Deadlee is simply a knockout. But that isn't the whole story. Deadlee acts hard, but is actually a big-hearted guy who regularly plays daddy to any number of confused kids, both in his day gig working in a group home for queer youth and for the growing troupe of performers he's been working with for his extravagant live shows.
Hip hop started with inner city kids banding together in loose family units that included rappers, DJs dancers, graffiti artists, designers, etc. These pioneering crews created a structure that not only encouraged the creativity of its members, who in some cases actually replaced fractured home lives. As Deadlee says, "Like all rappers, I've got to have a posse.
The only difference is I have trannies, drag queens, Mexican- and Central-American immigrants, gay boy dancers. "The kids I work with? It's not me so much educating, as much as them educating me. They're gay kids dealing with their sexuality at a young age. They give me inspiration to let it all out in my songs and do that shit."
Spotting potential seems to be his knack. Finding an audience for his work, however, is proving difficult. Most queer ears still perceive hip hoppers like Deadlee and their sound of urban violence as the enemy. "I scare those guys, they think I'm going to bash 'em," he says. And of course his stories of resurrected drag queens and marathon runners pursued by AIDS aren't winning him any fans in the music business world either.
It's a problem when your brothers on both sides of the double ghetto lines are scared of you. But there is a huge queer hip hop audience out there blossoming in cities like Atlanta and Washington where young homies looking for a wild time are digging the music in night clubs playing rap predominantly.
In 2001, a flurry of press reports about a gay Brooklyn rapper who came to fame winning battles on his local station heated things up for queer rappers. Unfortunately, the 23-year-old Caushun, who has been written about in all the major hip-hop press is being sold as a novelty before most folks have even heard his flow.
Worst of all Caushun has been dubbed "the first gay rapper" by his management, discounting the pioneering work of artists like Dutchboy of the San Francisco-based Rainbow Flava collective. "Artists like Caushun are a great example of how far hip-hop culture has come in accepting and recognizing homosexuality," says Dutchboy in New York, working on tracks for an upcoming Rainbow Flava release called Family Business. "Now, after six years of making noise in the underground, queer rappers have become visible enough that an openly gay MC is attracting the attention of the industry.
I like to think that artists like Rainbow Flava and Deepdickollective, through our work behind the scenes, have contributed to making that possible." Now 30, Dutchboy had been interested in hip hop since he was a kid in 1983, when his brother was breakdancing and bringing home Run DMC and Whodini records. A white kid from San Francisco, he watched while hip hop has become the predominant urban youth culture on the planet. "After seeing quite a few 14-year-old white kids in my neighbourhood wearing baggy jeans and NWA T-shirts, the idea of my participation started to seem less and less ridiculous."
His brainchild, Rainbow Flava, began in 1996 as a loose collective of gay and bisexual rappers and DJs in the hip-hop scene in San Francisco. "At that time, I was hosting a monthly party in the Mission District called Club Freaky," he recalls. "We had DJs spinning hip hop and house, and the occasional live MC, and some of us were interested in taking it to the next level."
By 1998, they were a trio (Dutchboy, Reh-Shawn and DJ Monkey) and released their first CD, Rainbow Flava Soundsystem. Later members included NI Double-KI, Tori Fixx from Minneapolis and Juba Kalamka from Chicago. But the road has not been easy for the underground collectives like Rainbow Flava or the all-black, all-male Deep Dickollective, also based in San Francisco, to gain respect in mainstream rap circles.
As Dutchboy tells it, "Hip hop is predominantly a culture of angry young men, many of whom have never felt truly included in society. Anyone wishing to be accepted into its inner circle has to be prepared to kick and scream and face dismissal and criticism. "It's something women and other minorities in hip hop have struggled with from the beginning, so it's no surprise that LGBT artists should face the same treatment."
And how has the reception been to the Rainbow Flava's easy going "conscious" rap sound that speaks openly about the difficulty of being queer in the world of hip hop? "We've gotten our share of hate mail and even death threats, both in e-mail and in the letters sections of magazines like Vibe, Elemental and Hip Hop Connection," he says. "But at the same time, behind the scenes, we get a fair amount of supportive mail from rappers, journalists and industry types who say they appreciate what were doing. "One of the things that drew me to hip hop as a vehicle for confronting issues of homophobia and sexual diversity is the fact that it's one of the few areas of American popular culture that is not averse to conflict," says Dutchboy.
"Differences in beliefs are expressed and verbalized openly.... Even the most extreme positions can receive a fair hearing when voiced by a talented and credible speaker." Dutchboy developed his Rainbow crew in the underground parties and nightclubs of politically savvy San Francisco, a city that is much more accepting of discussions across racial and sexual dividing lines.
It will be interesting to see what happens for him in New York where he relocated last year to work with the Phat Family, an international organization of LGBT hip-hop artists currently working on a compilation CD slated for release this month on MP3.com.

Black Church Summit Focuses On Homosexuality: Michael Eric Dyson headlines event.
Set in the city of Brotherly love and the birthplace of the Declaration of Independence where all people were declared to be created equal under the law, the National Black Justice Coalition, http://www.nbjc.org/, continues the dialogue of equality and equal justice with a historic and nationwide forum on Black Church Homophobia.
Over three hundred people from across the nation will gather to debate the issue of homosexuality and its role within the Black Church as well as provide solutions on how to create a welcoming and gay-affirming church.
Black iconic intellectuals such as the Rev. Dr. Michael Eric Dyson plus several other religious leaders both anti-gay and gay-affirming will headline the event and facilitate discussion ranging from HIV and the Black Church to debating the legitimacy of scripture referring to homosexuality.

Philadelphia - Tom Hanks, Denzel Washington
Excellent. Powerful. Especially in the exposure of homophobia in society.
It was... too much for me. You better HAVE a box of Kleenex nearby.
Excerpt: At the time of its release, Jonathan Demme's Philadelphia was the first big-budget Hollywood film to tackle the medical, political and social issues of AIDS. Tom Hanks, in his first Academy Award-winning performance, plays Andrew Beckett, a talented lawyer at a stodgy Philadelphia law firm. Andrew has contracted AIDS but fears informing his firm about the disease.

A&E - Wedding Wars
Excellent. I watched it twice. I was shocked to see John Stamos portray homosexual, and defend the gay rights/marriage cause. James Brolin was also in the cast.
I phoned Shay and Kevin, to ask them to watch this, when I saw it advertised.
John Stamos' (Shel) portrayal of a homosexual male was delivered true to life, minus the stereotypes (effeminate, flamboyant).
John Stamos' performance made me proud.
His brother's (Eric Dane) unease concerning his brother's homosexuality, and acceptance of him, was interseting watching the evolution progress.
I was yelling at the TV: " Picket Shel"! Fight for our rights!
PS ....And John Stamos is sexy as hell! Eric Dane too... LOL

E Lynn Harris
I have read just about all of E Lynn Harris' books. I discovered his book just after i discovered that my mate of 18 years was gay and involved in a homosexual love affair. I can not begin to explain the things I went through after the discovery. All I can say is that, a sister went through, indeed I did.
I ran across an excerpt of his second book Just As I Am in Essence Magazine. I ran to the local bookstore to get my copy and read it almost nonstop until I finished. I fell in love with him as an author and have bought all of his books and have read them all with the exception of two.
While I enjoyed his work, he only seemed to address the subject of homosexuality topically, barely scratching the surface. His autobiography, in my opinion, again, only touched on the subject lightly.

Pastor Ted Haggard and Sin
A powerful Evangelical leader had sex with his masseur. Hypocrite. Despicable. "Wicked".
...And then he enters "gay rehabilitation". He is a joke.
Pastor Ted Haggard is the president of the 30 million-member National Association of Evangelicals (NAE), the largest evangelical group in America. He is also founder and senior pastor of the 14,000-member New Life Church in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
He formed and serves as the president of both the Association of Life-Giving Churches, a network of local churches, and worldprayerteam.org, the only real-time global prayer network. Pastor Ted has recently been interviewed by Barbara Walters, Tom Brokaw, Bill O’Reilly, and Chris Matthews.
Time Magazine has included Pastor Ted in their list of the 25 Most Influential Evangelicals in America. The Wall Street Journal noted his advisory role with the Bush White House, calling him one “of the nation’s most politically influential” clergy, and Harper’s Magazine says, “No pastor in America holds more sway over the political direction of evangelicalism than does Pastor Ted.”
He graduated from Oral Roberts University in 1978 and worked as American Vice-President for World Missions For Jesus, a West German missions organization operating primarily behind the Iron Curtain and in socialistic countries. Before starting New Life Church, he served as Associate Pastor with Bethany World Prayer Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where he helped to establish the Bethany Family Counseling Center.

...And then he enters "gay rehabilitation". He is a joke.
Pastor Ted Haggard is the president of the 30 million-member National Association of Evangelicals (NAE), the largest evangelical group in America. He is also founder and senior pastor of the 14,000-member New Life Church in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
He formed and serves as the president of both the Association of Life-Giving Churches, a network of local churches, and worldprayerteam.org, the only real-time global prayer network. Pastor Ted has recently been interviewed by Barbara Walters, Tom Brokaw, Bill O’Reilly, and Chris Matthews.
Time Magazine has included Pastor Ted in their list of the 25 Most Influential Evangelicals in America. The Wall Street Journal noted his advisory role with the Bush White House, calling him one “of the nation’s most politically influential” clergy, and Harper’s Magazine says, “No pastor in America holds more sway over the political direction of evangelicalism than does Pastor Ted.”
He graduated from Oral Roberts University in 1978 and worked as American Vice-President for World Missions For Jesus, a West German missions organization operating primarily behind the Iron Curtain and in socialistic countries. Before starting New Life Church, he served as Associate Pastor with Bethany World Prayer Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where he helped to establish the Bethany Family Counseling Center.

Brokeback Mountain
Excellent. I HAVE watched it four times. Yes, Ennis broke Jack's back! LOL
Set against the sweeping vistas of Wyoming and Texas, the film tells the story of two young men -- a ranch-hand and a rodeo cowboy -- who meet in the summer of 1963, and unexpectedly forge a lifelong connection, one whose complications, joys, and tragedies provide a testament to the endurance and power of love.

Speaking of "tolerence"...
Preference.
pre·fer /prɪˈfɜr/ [pri-fur] –verb (used with object), -ferred, -fer·ring.
1. to set or hold before or above other persons or things in estimation; like better; choose rather than: to prefer beef to chicken.
I hear this term used to describe homosexuals. It is erroneous. Kevin uses it.
To prefer implies choice. I do not "choose" to be homosexual.
I do not "prefer" males sexually, over females. I am homosexual, it is my inherent sexual orientation.
Alternative Lifestyle.
I am not living an "alternative lifestyle". I am living my life. Incidentally, I am homosexual.
Faggot, dyke.
OVERVIEW: According to the just-released results of GLSEN’s National School Climate Survey, 84.3 percent of the 904 LGBT youth surveyed reported hearing homophobic remarks, such as "faggot" or "dyke," frequently or often. It seems that for quite a long time, "faggot" has been the slur of choice for people wishing to insult or harass gay men, men they perceive to be gay, or men they simply wish to humiliate regardless of their targets’ sexual orientation. Similarly, "dyke" has been used to target lesbian women, women perceived to be lesbian, or, in a common scenario, women refusing, for whatever reason, the sexual advances of men. There are many theories about the origin of these words, and how they came to be used as anti-LGBT slurs.

Homosexual Orientation Among Roman Catholic Priests
Excerpt: "It would be highly unlikely that a homosexual man in direct contradiction with God's law and even that of other faiths such as Judaism...would go through the steps of becoming a priest."

Pedophilia
Kevin made a point to me the other day.
The same passionate, anti-pedophilia sentiment I HAVE; is also expressed by heterosexuals toward homosexuality.
I agree... But, Oh contre...
Your Honor, permission to treat the witness as hostile.
Proceed...
The difference is: BAM! A very significant one: I am NOT sexually attracted to children.
Most pedophiles (90% are heterosexual, NOT homosexual); let's dispel that myth!
Now, who's the pervert?
I do NOT, find anything sexually attractive about a child. In any shape, form or fashion. Period.
I HAVE consensual sex with another consenting adult homosexual male, NOT, a child... thank you, very god damn much...
The very concept of and adult engaging in coitus with a child is vile, disgusting, and repulsive to me. It's nauseating.
Would someone please explain to me, what the hell is sexually attractive about a child? Nothing!
You understand me now?
...And homosexuals are considered, sexually deviant.
You know what Kevin, I'm going to let you HAVE it, on this one!
You have a six year old son, whom you related to me how you're training him already concerning sexuality...
You don't allow him to use the public men's bathroom without your presence, and no adult should be touching his genitalia, other than, you and your wife, when you bathe him.
I just had an epiphany...
It's not the homosexual male in the men's bathroom you HAVE to be primarily concerned about, as much as the HETERO-sexual ones.
The pedophile, that has a wife! Is the one you need to focus on!
In his HETERO-sexual perversions! Seeking a child to for sex.
I'm just appalled... And now, females have joined the pedophile band-wagon. It's repugnant. Despicable.
I told Shay last night about that part of our conversation Kevin.
She said it's sad that you HAVE to teach your child at such an early age, and strip him of his childhood innocence.
Due to the pervasive, prevalent sexual deviancy which has escalated to an all-time high in American society, to look out for
Mr. Freaky! Whom, I reiterate, is HETERO-sexual!
Yes, Mr. Freaky-supposedly heterosexual-child mosleter-sexual offender-pervert! Who wants to pull out his thing-a-ma-jigger, and insert in a child's orifi...
...lurking in the men's bathroom, and in the bushes in the park, near the school playground, attempting to molest and rape (defile) your child.
Oh, and his wife Mrs. Freaky... you HAVE to scutinize her, she's also on the "prowl".
I see, I need to rewrite your script... it needs some editing...
I rest my god damn case!
Your Honor, the defense rests!
Now, look what you made me do... I had to unleash both barrels! LOL
This homophobic society in America, and the world, perspective concerning homosexuality is very askew...
Pedophilia and homosexuality are NOT synonymous. Beastiality and homosexuality are NOT equivalent.
Catholics group gays, pedophiles...
Excerpt: There are two topics assaulting the gay community at its roots. Nothing has been said to counter claims by the Vatican equating gay men with pedophiles.The Roman Catholic Church believes that gay men and pedophiles are one in the same. In its evolving mission to deal with the plethora of priest cover-ups from sexual abuse, the Church now plans to prevent gays from entering priesthood. The Vatican says, this solves the pedophilia problem long term.

Facts About Homosexuality and Child Molestation
Excerpt: Pedophilia and child molestation are used in different ways, even by professionals. Pedophilia usually refers to an adult psychological disorder characterized by a preference for prepubescent children as sexual partners; this preference may or may not be acted upon. The term hebephilia is sometimes used to describe adult sexual attractions to adolescents or children who have reached puberty.

Homosexuality
Hello all,
I created this blog per the suggestion of my closest friend since childhood, whom I grew up with in Chicago, Illinois, Kevin, who is heterosexual.
He suggested it today, after he and I, had a lengthy, profound, very serious dialogue, via phone, concerning my homosexuality, and sexuality in general.
I now reside in New York City (Brooklyn). I am a 38 year old African-American homosexual male.
During our discourse, many points of sexuality (hetero-homo-bi, trans-gender, transvestite, hermaphrodite) were discussed.
As well as: pædophilia, rape, incest, sado-masochism, sodomy, incarcerated/situational sex, gay marriage/legal issues. socio-political, societal perspective: homophobia, misinformation, uneducation, undereducation, myths, taboos, moires, fallacies, ignorance, hypocrisy and contradictions, concerning the aforementioned.
The scientific/academic analysis of sexuality/homosexuality was also discussed: genetic causation, environmental, social conditioning.
My purpose and intent of this blog, is to provide an intelligent venue in which a forum to educate, discuss, debate, enlighten others/all.
I wish to elevate the level of cogniznace on the subject of homosexuality, as well as sexuality and its myriad manifestations.
The opinions I post, are mine, my beliefs due to my knowledge and experiences, or cited references thereof...
To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man. - William Shakespeare
nosce te ipsum (know thyself) - Socrates
I welcome the mature, intelligent questions, suggestions, commentary and opinions of all...
Any malicious content is unwelcome, and will be immediately removed.
