The First Known Gay
The First Known Gay Spy
Raymond Lecomte (1857-1921). As the first secretary of the French legation in Berlin, Lecomte infiltrated the homosexual clique surrounding the German Prince Philipp von Eulenburg. His discovery that Germany was bluffing in the Morocco crisis of 1906 led to a French diplomatic victory at the Algeciras Conference. This in turn led to Eulenburg’s exposure as a homosexual and his subsequent ruin. Lecomte’s activities are the first known instance of a homosexual’s using his sexual contact for espionage.

Ex-Gays Draw Criticism
For years, gay rights groups have struggled for social and political equality. Now, a campaign is underway to raise awareness and support the rights of those who have chosen to abstain from homosexual lifestyles, and they are being met with criticism from the gay community.“I don’t put any credit in the ex-gay movement,” Harmony president, sophomore Matt Winer, said. Winer, who is gay, said the ex-gay movement is an attempt by a homophobic society to change homosexuals for its comfort.Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays and Gays (PFOX) is a national secular nonprofit organization providing outreach, education and public awareness in support of the ex-gay community and families touched by homosexuality.
The organization upholds that people have a right to self-determination and that with information and support, individuals can overcome “unwanted homosexual attractions” said Regina Griggs, the executive director of PFOX.PFOX has joined forces with Liberty Counsel — a Florida-based litigation organization — to launch the “Change is Possible” campaign. The coalition recognizes tolerance and diversity are popular ideals in today’s society, but that “there has been a corresponding increase in discrimination and intolerance toward those who have made the decision to leave homosexuality,” according to an April 12 press release from PFOX.In response to the commonplace institution of “Safe-Zone” stickers and diversity days that promote the message that homosexuals are born gay, the “Change is Possible” campaign encourages high school and college students to hang fliers and make announcements on their campuses about the existence of ex-gays.
The campaign also encourages students to start gay to straight clubs, insist on the ex-gay viewpoint, and to contact Liberty Counsel if they are prevented from doing so.“Schools adopt nondiscriminatory policies and curriculum and give teachers diversity training, but the ex-gay perspective is left-out,” said Rena Lindevaldsen, senior litigation counsel for Liberty Counsel.Lindevaldsen claims that hundreds of thousands of people have successfully left homosexuality.“If you want to change, you can,” she said.According to Griggs, PFOX does not encourage change among homosexuals who are comfortable with their identity, but rather people who do not want to experience homosexual attractions.
Griggs said major opposition to this idea comes from the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transsexual and Questioning community, which denies the existence of ex-gays.Kristen Brady, sophomore vice president of Harmony said, “Harmony feels sexual orientation is something you can’t change. Fundamentalist Christian groups want [homosexuals] to suppress it. We want people to be who they are.”According to its Web site, Liberty Counsel is a nonprofit litigation, education and policy organization “dedicated to advancing religious freedom, the sanctity of human life and the traditional family.”
A self-proclaimed Christian legal organization, supporters include conservative activist Jerry Falwell, the president of Liberty University in Lynchburg.Both PFOX and Harmony offer support free from religious influence to people who question their sexual orientation. Neither group assumes individuals choose homosexual attraction. The groups differ, however, in their understanding of the inherency and permanence of sexual attraction.
“It would be very discouraging to tell you that you couldn’t overcome [homosexual attraction],” Griggs said.
Winer said, “For them to say we never explored the idea that we could be straight is laughable.”Supporters of former gays believe that unwanted homosexual attractions can be overcome. GLBTQ claims sexual orientation is inherent, and although it can be ignored, it cannot be changed. Neither group recognizes the position of the other and Winer, Brady and Lindevaldsen agree that this discrepancy is key in each group’s explanation for why they simply cannot work together.from The Breeze

Poetry Suck
Poetry Suck
(from RFD)
The word “suck” is being abused by being used derogatorily
The word “suck” molested by youths under the age of consent insulting
Poetry and babies and cocksuckers alike not to mention adult titsuckers
Tongue-suckers, thumb-suckers, toe-suckers, nose and earlobe-suckers, sucker suckers
And trees who suck the earth and butterflies who suck flowers and black holes who suck galaxies
Like it or not, boys in every state of America in every cities every town when poetry is mentioned say, “Poetry Sucks!”
Cute youths who never got sucked and have no inkling of blowjob joy taking advantage of the word sucks putting poetry down
True, poetry sucks, but not derogatorily.
Poetry sucks beautifully, beautiful as a blowjob tongue swirling round the most sensitive spots.
And guess what? Every day poets all over earth compose thousands of brand-new fresh 100% guaranteed cocksucking hymns that swell the accumulated immortal poetry of the ages
Yeah, Poetry sucks, poetry expose itself to innocent impressionistic punks who sneer “Poetry suck!” In the images of a big blow job that reduces then to instantaneous hardons that won’t get satisfied
Till they get their first suck. No problem, enough poets exist-men, boys, women, girls to help out.
Give a blowjob to every boy who says, “Poetry sucks!”
Simple as that.

Today's Bitch Slap Congress
Hate Crimes Bill Droppedby Paul Johnson, 365Gay.com Washington Bureau Chief(Washington) Legislation that would have included crimes against gays and lesbians in federal hate crime laws has been dropped in the Senate.
Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass) has been trying to get the measure passed since 1999. This session he tacked it onto a national sex offender bill.
The sex offender registry bill has been tied up in the Senate for months as Kennedy fought to have the hate crime provision passed.
Late last week he pulled the amendment allowing the sex offender bill to pass unanimously after Republicans threatened to block passage of the sex offender legislation pin the blame on "liberal Democrats" and gay activists.
Kennedy vowed to once again introduce the legislation in the next session.
"Congress can't ignore the problem," he said. "They send the poisonous message that some Americans deserve to be victimized solely because of who they are."
A House version of the hate crime bill passed the House earlier this year, as an amendment to the Children's Safety and Violent Crimes Reduction Act. The hate crime provision, which would have included gays, lesbians and the transgendered was later stripped out of the bill.
The bill would have allowed the Department of Justice to assist local authorities in investigating and prosecuting cases in which violence occurs.
Extending hate crimes law to include members of the LGBT community is endorsed by more than 175 law enforcement, civil rights, civic and religious organizations, including: the National Sheriffs' Association, International Association of Chiefs of Police, U.S. Conference of Mayors, and the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association.

The First Gay and Lesbian Memorial
The Stichting Homo-Monument in Amsterdam, dedicated in 1987. This public sculpture "commemorates all women and men who were ever oppressed and persecuted because of their homosexuality."
Designed by Karin Daan, the sculpture consists of a gaint pink granite triangle, 107 feet on each side, containing three smaller triangles. One points to the Anne Frank House, one points to the headquarters of the COC, the Dutch gay rights organization, the third extends like a wharf into the Keizersgracht canal.

Mom Kidnapped Son, Feared Dad ' Turning Him Gay'
by Fidel Ortega, 365Gay.com Miami Bureau
May 3, 2006 - 12:01 am ET
(Miami, Florida) A woman has told a Florida court that she kidnapped her 11-year old son and fled the country because she believed her former husband was turning the boy gay.
Caren MacDonald is accused of custody interference. She took the boy from a Ft. Lauderdale school in 2001 and went to Costa Rica. They remained there for four years but was arrested by U.S. Customs agents in June 2002 in Houston as she disembarked from an airplane that had arrived from Costa Rica.
The boy is now 16 and lives in Colorado with his father.
If convicted MacDonald could face up to five years in prison.
She said that she and her husband were married in 1988. The following year she became pregnant and the couple divorced in 1997.
It was at that time he came out and began a relationship with another man. To protect the identity of the child the names of the boy, his father and partner are not being published.
MacDonald and her husband fought for custody of the boy. During the dispute a court ordered psychiatrist testified that MacDonald was unstable and a judge awarded sole custody to the father. MacDonald was ordered to have no contact with the boy.
During her testimony in the criminal case MacDonald attempted to portray her ex-husband and his partner as sexual predators.
''I didn't understand how somebody could be straight and then be gay,'' MacDonald said.
She also accused the partner of massaging the boy on his buttocks several times, an allegation she also had made at the custody hearing. But last week the boy testified that there had been no inappropriate behavior and that his mother has forced him to lie at the custody hearing about being molested.

Jake G.
Jake is WAY dreamy, and he is very good in this film, and, I also thought he should have won this year... but maybe we don't have quite enough distance from this film yet. Nevertheless.... I love me some Jake... Loved him in this, loved him in Donnie Darko, loved him in Bubble Boy. I expect we are going to see him nominated again in the near future.
