OMG repost - Homosexuality and the Bible Part 3
Okay, time for the second last installment of Homosexuality and the Bible - I know how excited everyone must be. Almost as exciting as watching water boil… just mesmerizing. The part I am going to address today is the story of Sodom and Gomorrah, also known as the story of Lot, found in Genesis 18. The story goes a little some thing like this: God sends down two Angels to Sodom and Gomorrah to...

Another OMG repost - Homosexuality & The Bible...
Okay time to discuss a little more about homosexuality in the bible :) Today I want to address a little passage from Leviticus, it goes a little something like this: “A man shall not lie with another man as he lies with a woman”. This little line has been the bread and butter of Christian conservatives who are hell bent (pardon the pun) on spreading the “word” about how homosexuality is a sin....

An OMG repost: Homosexuality and the Bible - Would...
I stumbled across this article on the Advocate and thought it was a great campaign. I often find that many Christians have never taken the time to actually study the bible. First no I don’t think that Jesus would have discriminated against homosexuals, I think Jesus would have embraced two people who love each other. Wasn’t Jesus all about promoting loving one another? I’m not sure about some...

Rob Ford Aims to Lose 50lbs & Become Slightly Less...
First of all, I wish the very best of luck to Rob and Doug Ford. I applaud anyone who is willing to try to lose weight, especially when they are in dire need of it. However, to only want to lose 50lbs when you are 330lbs doesn’t cut it with me Rob. Dropping down to 280lbs, while admirable, is still morbidly obese and extremely unhealthy. I challenge you to just try to actually become...

Hell Has Frozen Over The Conservatives/Harper Are...
I honestly thought I would be well into middle age before the Conservative Party of Canada would evolve on this matter, but I am happy to admitt I am wrong (or hopefully wrong, what Harper says and what the party does are two different matters, or err they’re supposed to be).  ”I want to make it clear that in our government’s view, these marriages are valid.” Justice Minister...

Newt Gingrich Tells Queer People to Vote for Obama... →
It’s not everyday that you hear a politician telling people from a particular group to vote for someone else but that is exactly what Newt Gingrich did the other day. “I asked him if he’s elected, how does he plan to engage gay Americans. How are we to support him? And he told me to support Obama,” said Scott Arnold, an adjunct professor of writing at William Penn University.

Don’t get me wrong I’m all… I dont agree with this. I am not at all surprised. Just because the...

After watching last night’s Glee episode (loved the black and white cheesy Christmas special) I was left with a sour taste in my mouth as the episode ended with Fynn, Rachel, Sam, and Rory ringing bells in the typical way to get people to donate to the Salvation Army. Don’t get me wrong I’m all for donating either time or money or both to charitable organizations (especially...

Toronto - Up Up and Away
Just when you thought Toronto’s condo and mega construction boom couldn’t get any hotter a quick look at some of the proposed building projects puts ya straight. Since the construction of 1 King West (176m) 2005 Toronto has seen a resurgance in the construction of skyscrapers (for the purpose of saving time and space I have only included buildings over 150m). Recently we have seen...

Australia to Have Vote of Conscience on Same-sex...
It looks like Australia is poised to have a vote of conscience (well at least a vote of conscience in the Labor party) on same-sex marriage soon. The country, where recent polls suggest two thirds of Australia voters support same-sex marriage, has been facing heat on same-sex marriage for a number of years. Every state/territory recognizes same-sex partnerships and some (Victoria) have been...

R&B Singer Omarion's Ex-Wife Comes Out as a... →
Looks like Omarion’s claim that he can turns Lesbians str8 is incredibly far from the truth (as if there would be any truth there anyway). Turns out his ex-wife is a Lesbian, as she recently took to twitter to proclaim. Guess Omarion doesn’t cope well with being ditched. Go cry your BS elsewhere dude.

Toronto Zoo Keepers Plan on Breaking Up Gay... →
Zoo keepers at the Toronto Zoo are planning on breaking up a pair of male penguins who spend most of their time together and exhibit mating habits normally seen between male-female penguin pairs. Their reason for wanting to force the separation is to get them to mate with female penguins because of their “top-notch genes” and because the species are threatened with extinction.
