The most exhausting thing in life is being insincere. - Anne Morrow Lindbergh
In another blatant (and increasingly common) example of religious freedoms being assailed in the “land of the free”, a counseling student at Augusta State University in Georgia was told that her Christian beliefs were “unethical” and “incompatible with prevailing views” of the counseling profession. If we accept Augusta State University’s position, then it would be reasonable to assume that any Bible believing Christian, and by inference Jesus Himself, would be unfit to counsel …more…
BISEXUALITY, adultery and madness shaped the life of Vivien Leigh as she prepared to play Scarlett O’Hara in Gone with the Wind.
The claims are made in a forthcoming biography.
In public, the British actress, who won two Oscars in a career spanning 30 years, was portrayed in 1930s Hollywood as the romantic soulmate of another rising star, Laurence Olivier, who left his lesbian wife for her …more…
I am not, I repeat, NOT a lesbian - even though I’d like to be one when I grow up. - Dawn French
Everyone has people in their lives that are gay, lesbian or transgender or bisexual. They may not want to admit it, but I guarantee they know somebody. - Billie Jean King
A Catholic adoption agency has lost its attempt to restrict its service to heterosexual couples after the Charity Commission found there was no justification for barring gay and lesbian parents.
Leeds-based Catholic Care sought exclusion from the 2007 sexual orientation regulations and began legal action to change its constitution so it could continue helping married couples only. The commission initially refused to give its consent, but the charity won the right to appeal against its decision …Read More…
“In the beginning there was nothing. God said, ‘Let there be light!’ And there was light. There was still nothing, but you could see it a whole lot better.” - Ellen DeGeneres -
It must be a record of sorts. Out of 39 hours of some of the most popular BBC1 shows, just 29 seconds featured lesbians, a study commissioned by the gay charity Stonewall has found. Here’s a blow-by-blow account of this quantum of airtime: a homophobic exchange between Eastenders’ Roxy, Pat and Bianca; and a “playful” introduction of Jeremy Clarkson by Jonathan Ross in which Ross describes the provocative petrolhead as a man not loved by lesbians. (He got that right. Clarkson repeatedly decries “big, weird dungaree-wearing lesbian parents” or “black lesbian Muslims”, while lusting after “the proper ones in stockings that you find on the internet”.)
The study explored the portrayal of homosexuality on television. It monitored the 20 programmes most popular with young viewers for 16 weeks – 126 hours of programming in all – to see how gay men and lesbians were portrayed. Across all the channels monitored – BBC1, ITV1, C4 and Channel 5 – gay people were portrayed positively and realistically for only 46 minutes. Just seven minutes of the entire output featured scenes where homophobia was challenged; most of it used being gay or the possibility of being gay to tease and insult. …read more…
The most exhausting thing in life is being insincere.  - Anne Morrow Lindbergh
For three years, the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission has toiled in obscurity to secure the approval of an obscure U.N. committee that decides who gets to participate in public U.N. meetings and debates.
Over the last week, the group’s struggle to gain “consultative status” at the United Nations — basically a grounds pass and access to open U.N. meetings — attracted rare attention from Capitol Hill and the White House. It also became a stark symbol of the shrinking influence of American social conservatives at the United Nations …more…
