ATLANTA'S GAY PRIDE: THE SEXUAL CONNECTION LINK...

For the many GAY MEN & WOMEN celebrating GAY PRIDE in Atlanta today, each of the myriad of decisions they make today will have a DEEP impact on their lives. The choices made today will touch the VERY core of the community AND awaken poignant feelings within. So when they are called upon to choose between two OR more options, whether he/she be attractive OR distasteful, do you think it is possible for them to understand all they can about the choices ahead before moving forward?

Since I cared to remember, this community has been ISOLATED from each other, with NO seemingly possible way of forging meaningful connections. Self-protection and mistrust prevent us from reaching out to neighbors and peers, and we consequently use each for sexual pleasure alone. However, creating a community is something SO attainable as we have a host of available GAY MEN & WOMEN in place to achieve such a thing. To form the bonds that eventually solidify into long-lasting friendships, we must first be willing to rise above the walls of SEXUAL ACTIVITY dividing us from the individuals who inhabit our community.

It is SO sad that in MANY ways we are taught from the moment of accepting our sexual identity to FEAR each other and just take what we can get without investing ourselves, but how well has that been working for us thus far? Year after year we take the passive approach that prevents us from living harmoniously AND build a network of support that contributes to the well-being of all involved; & THERE IS NO DAY LIKE TODAY! Aren’t you tired of meaningless links with others in the community? Wouldn’t it be nice to speak YOUR truth so that others can respond to your honesty? I feel that if we were to approach our personal interactions with the intensions of building the community, it could bring MORE depth AND meaning to our community.

So as we all go on our voyages while we take the exhausting AND exhilarating journey with each other, how about we make this GAY PRIDE’S sex connections be the links that last? Feeling disconcerted by the foreignness of events that took place need not leave a bad taste in the mouth that only goes away by this same time next year. Haven’t we proven that what happens here doesn’t necessarily stay there?

¿WHAT MANNER OF FAITH?

Is FAITH what we TRULY believe OR is it what others tell us to believe? I asked this question because I often wonder how SO many of have such STRONG FAITH in things that are well intentioned, but lead us nowhere? So the other day I took my sister to my mother’s house and my uncle was there and he noticed that I had on my red wrist band that signified that I support the fight against HIV/AIDS. So he then asked me if I was joining the same fight as my mother and aunt because they both had small red pieces of cloth pinned to their clothing. To which my response was, “my fight is for something REAL” of course they got all upset because how could one of the most unclean sinners on God’s planet say that their cloth had NO significance. After being told that their cloth is for the sole purpose of ending the blood shed and violence that in the world, I reiterated my stance and left…However I couldn’t help but feel upset because they once again was following what Pastor said. I have NO problems with them believing in something, but how much FAITH do they have when they know for certain who is doing what in the community and would NEVER do the right thing and inform the authority on such matters? I understand that GOD handles everything and having FAITH means that they leave it up to him, but how practical is that? From wearing cloths placed on whatever parts of the body that is aching them to drinking water blessed by Pastor, these women seem to have given up any AND all sense of common sense. And as far as I can see, they fit into that BLESSED ARE THE POOR BECAUSE THEY DONATE HEAVILY, BLESSED ARE THE MEEK BECAUSE THEY OBEY, BLESSED ARE THE HUMBLE BECAUSE THEY DON’T QUESTION AUTHORITY…WHILE PASTOR SAYS, BLESSED ARE THE HUNGRY (MAKE ME RICH UNTIL IT HURTS), BLESSED ARE THE MERCIFUL (IF YOU CATCH ME DOING SOMETHING WRONG, LET IT GO), BLESSED ARE THE PURE OF HEART (BECAUSE YOUR BRAINS ARE SWITCHED OFF), BLESSED ARE THE TIMID (BECAUSE YOU GIVE ME YOUR POWER & BECOME MY SLAVES). What AMAZED me so much about my mother AND aunt is that they have NO voice when it comes to standing up for my cousin who was molested or other things that are deemed as the Christian way…So sad that they don’t know that when you practice faith instead of conscious living, you live under a cloak of fear; and eventually that cloak becomes so habitual you forget it’s even there. It’s very sad when one reaches the point where he/she can’t even remember what it feels like to wield creative freedom over their own life, independent of what they’ve been conditioned to believe SO FAITHFULLY. I find that in this case their FAITH is a coward’s substitute for courage. Harsh I know, but until they STOP comforting themselves by swallowing things that lead them nowhere, I don’t see any other way to respond to what they are doing. I hope AND pray that they wake up AND realize it’s all B.S. AND take that first step towards freedom from such an oppressive way of having FAITH…Truth be told, the so-called religious authority they place their FAITH in don’t know any more about spirituality than they do; and if they want to have FAITH in God, then all they need to do is open their mouths and directly begin the communication process instead of using third-party intermediaries who ask them to pin pieces of cloth that he prayed over and bless onto their clothing…ACCORDING TO WIKIPEDIA, FAITH IS THE CONFIDENT BELIEF OR TRUST IN THE TRUTH OR TRUSTWORTHINESS OF A PERSON, IDEA OR THING…& FROM WHAT I KNOW, GOD HAS NO NEED FOR PERSONS THAT LIVE IN BLIND FAITH, SO I WILL KEEP THE FAITH THAT ONE DAY THEY WILL NO LONGER BE BOUND BY THEIR CURRENT FAITH…

DON'T LET GO (LOVE)

"Don't Let Go (Love)" is theGrammy-nominated 1996 first single from musical group En Vogue's third studio album, EV3. It has been certified platinum by the RIAA for shipments of over 1,000,000 units. The song was the last single by En Vogue to feature former band member Dawn Robinson (as of April 2008, she has returned to the group). The song became En Vogue's biggest international single, peaking in the top ten of many countries. It hit #5 in the UK in early 1997 and spent a formidable sixteen weeks in the UK top forty, nine of those weeks in the top ten. It reached #2 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 (becoming their third #2 hit on the chart). The song was a #1 R&B song for 1 week becoming En Vogue's sixth and final #1 R&B Hit to date. The song was notable in the 1996 movie Set It Off. This song ALWAYS reminds me how we LONG for connection and love EVERYDAY! So we take the risk of allowing ourselves to be open and vulnerable in the hopes that we can s feel INTENSELY alive…radiating from deep within, holding us in its embrace. For NO matter how our love is received by another, each cell in our bodies becomes infused with its energy…So I say BE VULNERABLE BY GIVING LOVE FREELY & WITHOUT EXPECTATION OF RETURN & YOU WILL SURELY FEEL THE POWER OF LOVE WITHIN & AROUND YOU…

OLDIE, BUT GOODIE: BEYOND YOU...

FOR SOME REASON I CAN’T WAIT TO FIND OUT WHAT ENTRY I WILL REPOST FOR MY OLDIE, BUT GOODIE SECTION OF MY BLOG. SO IMAGINE HOW HAPPY I WAS TO FIND THAT WHEN I CLICKED THE VIEW RANDOM POST BUTTON ON MY BLOG THAT IT BROUGHT HERE TO THIS ENTRY. WHEN I WROTE THIS ENTRY A WHILE BACK, I HOPED THAT THE WORDS FROM THIS POST COULD SOMEHOW REACH THOSE THAT I WROTE THIS ENTRY FOR…NOW TODAY THE UNIVERSE HAS ASKED ME REPOST THIS YET AGAIN FOR THOSE WHO I WISH TO HAVE PEACE N’ LOVE WHILE BEING ABLE TO LOOK BEYOND THEMSELVES…

We are all beings of light; spiritual beings having a human experience and I have been asked on more than one occasion how I can deal with or put with certain persons that I associate with. My answer to this burning question is simple, I see beyond what people present to the world and themselves. I believe that NO ONE is worthless and should be left behind, we all have our individuality and it is when we come together as a group that it can either blend in or get strangle from the start. Nonetheless, I don’t believe that HUMANS are uncaring; I simply believe that most of us don’t know how to place ourselves in another’s shoes. It is a well known fact that, many of us are aware of our true selves and it hard to find persons that can ACCEPT another as HE or SHE is. We have the hard task of navigating through life amidst the large-scale changes in the world. I know that those that do not see the light of transition need only time and patience to do so. I feel that I am connected to the light and it is through my connection that I can see BEYOND what the visible world reveals. However if we continue to look for negativity in others, we are bound to come across it in abundance. As easy as it is to criticize the people and situations that frustrate or hurt us, we do ourselves a disservice in the process. It is important to see the good in all as there are blessings hiding in every aspect of our outer-world reality, and the potential for grace exists in ALL human beings. It would do us good to remember that when our lives are flooded with challenges, grief and pain brought on by an individual, we may be tempted to believe that they are simply bad. And rightly so, but if we look for the good within, it will be revealed; easing our doubts and reminding us that the universe is a place of balance. I have learned that the unnecessary tension that came into being when we dwell on negativity fades away and is replaced by sympathetic tolerance. We can forgive those that have wronged us because we recognize in them traits we admire, and we may even discover that we can bring out the good in one another. There are few pleasures greater than gazing outward and seeing beauty, wisdom, and harmony; and since we create our reality, we can make the world a better place each time we acknowledge the good in people we encounter…SO I ENCOURAGE ALL OF US TO SEE BEYOND YOU...

GOD STARTS MORE WILDFIRES TO REMIND CALIFORNIANS TO SAY NO TO HOMOS…

Fundies claim God started California Wildfires as a Wrath Warning to "Lowlife Pervert Homosexuals" and their Supporters. THIS IS REALLY SICK!

God made his frustration with California’s betrayal of him known once again this week, this time as he used his great power to start several wildfires in the region’s chaparral and sagebrush. 

2,000 Californians have been forced to race in panic and fear, as our Lord and Savior reminds everyone the fate of being gay; burn in hell for all time!

AP News – wildfire that exploded in the mountains north of Los Angeles has spread over nearly 8 square miles of bone-dry forest, sent up massive billows of smoke and cast an eerie orange glow against the night sky. 

The blaze in the steep San Gabriel Mountains above La Canada Flintridge spread out in all directions Friday, the most active flanks to the north, deeper into the forest and east, said Forest Service spokesman Stanton Florea.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger declared a state of emergency Friday in Los Angeles and Monterey counties. 

“There’s tremendous amount of heat all over the state! We’re scared, ” he said. 

Oh friends, hear my words. Homosexuals are a great blight unto normalcy and they are causing God’s anger to explode all over the world! 

These mighty fires he’s starting up in California’s foothills and cities, they are nothing compared to what he can truly do! It may just be fires right now, but what if he sends great meteors or tsunamis to just wipe out all these lowlife perverts and their supporters? What will happen to our national economy and world relations? 

God is giving us ample warning to not test him too much, and hopefully this fire will teach everyone a lesson. 

Just like when God was smiting Pharaoh for being evil, an ominous cloud of doom looms over the sinful lands. Marvel at this fearful site, just like this overwhelmed firefighter is doing. 

My friends, there is no fighting off the fires of hell. God has made them so they will, never extinguish and all sinners will have the flesh of their souls seared for all time! 

So let us heed this warning and make God proud by saying ‘No Gays!’ everywhere we go. It is the right thing to do and will save us from this great display of God’s wrath! Glory, glory.

AMERICA’S BEST DANCE CREW S4E04 – VOGUE EVOLUTION

Week 4 of America's Best Dance Crew and Vogue Evolution is still in the competition! Despite plenty of backstage drama with transgender crew member Leiomy Maldonado, much of which is believed to have been overblown by the show's producers, the fierce voguers from New York continue to deliver.

This week the remaining six crews took on the Bollywood challenge. Vogue Evolution received the Bollywood style Rajasthani which involves the use of scarves as a prop. The crew easily infused their signature style into the choreography and stepped up the level of difficulty with an amazing stunt that sent Leiomy soaring through the air eventually landing flat on her back in a dip.

7 TYPES OF GAY MEN THAT SCARE THE F&CK OUT OF OTHER GAY MEN

When it comes to GAY men and we see each other, some of us are upfront and honest…and others lie, and we make it SO easy for the rest to hide from the truth. Isn’t it sad that in some ways, the way we treat each other is expected? But I’ve often find that what we shun is an indication of what we are insecure about, and where we harbor shame. WITH THIS IN MIND, LET’S TAKE A LOOK @ 7 TYPES OF GAY MEN THAT SCARE THE F&CK OUT OF THE GAY COMMUNITY:

• THE NON-BOYFRIEND BOYFRIEND: We've all met him. He's cute, smart, funny with a smile or a smell or a groove or an anything that makes you crazy. He seems to dig on you, too. So much so that you go to movies and parties and the park together. You're each others' instant plus ones whenever the occasion arises. He knows your IM password; you've learned the lyrics to his favorite song. All of your free time is his and his yours. It's just you and him unless you're traveling to an event together. His friends like you. Your friends frequently ask to be filled in on the status of your relationship. But, alas, there is nothing to report. Is it a platonic friendship, which can exist even when intimacy is involved? Are you best friends forever? Is he the romantic possibility you've been waiting for? Or, is it too soon to tell? Though this type of man can yield some very good times, he is still one the most feared men out there to GAY men.

 

• HOT, GAY & SUCCESSFUL: Sometimes you meet a GAY man who immediately engages you. You're taken by his energy, his good looks…his kindness. He talks to you, not @ you. He ask questions, is genuinely interested in finding out about you. You learn about him, he has a GREAT job, has loads of friends, always doing interesting things. And most of all he wants to include you, so what do you? Make the mistake that such a man is TOO good for you so you place him in a class higher than you…which makes sense because why be with someone who you don’t feel is your equal?

 

• TOO UGLY TO DATE: Can someone tell me why when a friend of ours is talking about some guy that they feel would make a good catch for us, most of us ask how does he look? Now this question isn’t necessarily a bad one, but why does it matter how cute a man is? I’ve heard many say an ugly man sure is sweet in the sack and in my days of playing the field; I NEVER had sex with a man that others deemed ugly to find out if that saying is true. I did it because as far as I see it, intimacy has NO eyes OR beauty. So sad that this is another GAY man that can’t get his because of how other GAY see him…

 

• THE FAT GAY MAN: There SO many reasons we find ourselves attracted to someone, but when it comes to the GAY man that has a little more to love, we find out just how shallow AND ugly we GAY men can really be. SO many GAY men that don’t carry a six-pack OR can wear skinny jeans are treated like pariahs in the community. Why you may ask? Well it is due to the fact that society has deemed them unfit physically which makes them impossible to love. So can imagine how a GAY man with extra meat on his bone is treated in the body-obsessed gay world? Body image issues and insecurities are widespread and it is killing our community. Why can’t we appreciate the GAY man who wears his weight with pride?

 

• THE GAY MAN 40 & OVER: So many of us tell ourselves that we will NOT date man over the age of 40. So when this happens we reduce the SMALL community of eligible men even smaller. Such a shame I say because most of us feel that as long as I can get someone younger, that’s better. SO sad that in order to attract guys and prevent automatic dismissal, a hot 50-year-old with a hot pic may choose to say he's 35, so that guys will at least give him a chance. Because he is buying into the general assumption that most GAY men prefer younger men. This definitely speaks to our sexualization of youth, and the insecurity and lack of esteem experienced by older gay men. Sad, isn’t it?

 

• THE FEMININE GAY MAN: Isn’t it insane how so many put each other in two different categories? Either we are labeled as MASCULINE or FEMININE with the latter being seen as less than. How are GAY men that carry themselves in this manner get to be public enemy #1 is beyond me. How can we continue to live in a community that bashes GAY men that are seen as feminine? What makes him less a man ? Moreover what makes you more of a man? I thought ALL GAY MEN represented something different, something special…something GOD fearing? Why be individuals that are trying to be someone playing the majority?

 

• THE GAY MAN: You know him, you pray to GOD for him, you talk about him and see him in your dreams…but you don’t want him…Why? Well let’s just say that he is the opposite of what you think a GAY man should be. He LOVES himself, knows his place AND what he wants for the future. He is that GAY man that knows that a smooth road never makes a good driver and a smooth sea never make a good sailor. But you call him a fake, a know-it-all because he can tell you what you are doing that is hurting your soul. Yet in all your negativity he would die for the community. He is  PASSIONATE N’ UNIQUE because he is everything you want him to be AND none of things you feel he is…
