Fox News Headline States: “Obama Flip Flops, Declares War On Marriage”
Fox News has since changed their headline but because of the ridiculousness of it and the extreme homophobia behind it, that someone supporting one group’s right to marriage and the rights/privileges is bestows is tantamount to a war on marriage just because that group is made of of same-sex couple is atrocious.
I will be boycotting not only Fox News, but the Fox network itself as well as any productions by Twentieth Century Fox and all of it’s affiliates until an apology is issued by the company.

Toronto Mayor's Radio Show Mouthpiece for Homophobia
Rob Ford’s weekly radio show with brother brought their standard low brow discourse to a whole other level in their latest broadcast. The guest on the show, David Menzies a Toronto Sun reporter, compared homosexuality to obesity, claiming it effects your health as you are more likely to get HIV. He also took shots at a reporter with a rival newspaper, the Toronto Star, claiming the Star sent the most effeminate reporter they had to look into a story that has caused it’s own media firestorm - http://metronews.ca/voices/ford-for-toronto/129795/ford-angry-reporter/
Rob Ford has been no stranger to homophobia, refusing to attend any LGBTQ related events, including Toronto Pride (3rd largest pride festival in the world), claiming that if you’re not gay or a drug user then you don’t need to worry about getting AIDS, endorsing a candidate known for homophobic views and sermons (claiming it is evil, and a disease needing to be cured), he now has this to add to it.

Thank you to the blog Paulotics for posting this video. I only hope the authorities are able to catch the filth that made it.
***UPDATE***
Youtube has since removed this video showing a violent attack by at least 3 people with a 4th holding the camera on someone gay or perceived to be gay in the Atlanta area.
Is Youtube in the right to remove this video as it maybe seen as promoting hatred or should videos like these be kept up instead of sweeping the issue under the rug and pretending like it never happened?

Oh My Gay: Should Glee Have Been Collecting for the Salvation Army?
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…
I dont agree with this. I am not at all surprised. Just because the Salvation Army is blind and prejudiced doesn’t mean the LBGT community needs to spread the same hate. Hate is hate people whether its “straight” vs “homosexual” or “homosexual” vs “straight” I actually applaud Glee showing them taking donations for Salvation Army. It shows that hate will not win no matter how large, prejudiced or, wrong any organization is.
Actually by Glee showcasing the Salvation Army it is showing that you can be hateful and prejudiced and have people look the other way and support you. Supporting an organzation like that would be the same as giving money to the National Organization for Marriage (NOM, extremely anti same-sex marriage) or to the Focus on the Family. Are you suggesting we should start giving them money or face time on gay friendly TV shows?
I’m not suggesting that we need to hate on the Salvation Army, or that Glee should have. However, giving them a “ringing” endorsement is certainly not something we need to be doing when there are plenty of other inclusive organizations that we, or the show, could support instead.

Should Glee Have Been Collecting for the Salvation Army?
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 during the holiday season), just not one that is as homophobic as the Salvation Army. I found it doubly hypocritical that Rachel (who has two dads) and Fynn (who has a gay step-brother) were ringing away.
For those who don’t know the Salvation Army has refused to grant same-sex partner benefits to their employees in states where marriage is not legal, will actively discriminate against gays, lesbians, and trans people in need of their services, and has even refused money from cities because of domestic partnership laws (San Francisco 1998) and threatened to shut down soup kitchens rather than comply to the city’s legislation requiring firm to provide same-sex domestic partnership benefits to their employees (New York 2004).
According to the International Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association (ILGA) ”The Salvation Army does not only discriminate against gay and lesbian people, it also works politically against LGBT rights all over the world. In Sweden, e g, the Army has protested against the law that makes same-sex marriages legal, and against the inclusion of homosexuals in a law criminalizing incitement to hatred. Other examples of this type of behaviour in other countries were given in the programme.”

I am surprised then that Glee would feature such a homophobic and discriminatory group on the show instead of more inclusive organizations like the United Way, UNICEF, or the Red Cross?

Wow, just wow. Did anyone else know that children can’t openly celebrate Christmas in the US or pray in school? Must be something new. I wonder how they know if someone is praying in school as most prayer is done silently. Are there mind readers and thought police in every single educational institution in the United States? That is truly quite an accomplishment. What happens if a child says they celebrate Christmas or heaven forbid exchange a Christmas card with another student? Are the put in detention or otherwise punished in some way? I hope Rick Perry can answer my questions for me because even here in the anti-christ evil Liberal kingdom of Canada where apparently Satan rules (at least according to Fox News) children can celebrate Christmas openly and pray in school. In fact even non-Christians can pray in schools.

Even though there were absolutely no allocations of abuse from anyone a Houston judge ruled that a gay man’s children (he was seeking custody of his children from his wife who currently has custody, with regular visits to the father) could not be left alone with his husband.
