I get flack all the time for being an outsider of sorts among my gay friends and the community as a whole. To be honest, I find a large part of what is considered “gay culture” to be crap. I don’t mean crap as in something old and useless that can be thrown away, I mean actual shit. I am such a dick.

I remember when Keisha came out and sang that really popular song about smelling and what not, so many of my gay friends were falling over themselves with awe. There is one thing I have noticed among these types of performances, the sluttier, the trashier, the more of an overt sexual train wreck, the better. Often times, the media in question doesn’t even have to be produced well or have a lot of quality put into it, the mere presence of a gay person or gay theme grants it an instant pass. I am sure at this point you are wondering why I even care and to that I have 3 words.

“Gay themed films”

They are, for the most part, GOD AWFUL. Not just painfully bad, but horribly written and revolve around nothing more than ass, sex and, the ever unique “Gay man with a swish and a come back for everything.” I am sure some of you are thinking, “But Justice, that’s you.” All I have to say in response is “That’s hateful and I don’t have a swish, I am just as funny as a mediocre Jewish writer.” Take that intolerance! The point is that these movies are so god awful and tacky, it is offensive to even consider them films. It’s sort of like BET, in the sense that making a film based on one thing only (race or sexuality) makes for crappy story telling and a one dimensional character. There are some enjoyable and well produced films that fall into the “gay themed” pile, Billy’s Hollywood Screen Kiss and Shelter, being two of them.

So that brings us to the materials in question today. I present to you the following videos and I will let you be the judge on how well they are executed.

First – Christinimina Magulemera

Christina is a talented singer, she doesn’t need to keep pushing the whore get up. I can understand the desire to dress as a plastic sailor and get spanked, I have been to WeHo, but Jesus. This entire song is just horrible, like going on a blind date only to arrive and find out the person you are meeting is 45 lbs heavier and 10 years older than they told you, horrible… oh and they are Chinese. It also doesn’t help that the video is trying to be a Lady Gage joint. When this was posted on a few gay blogs, the gays ate it up! I don’t know if you have ever heard a lisp over the Internet, but there were so many “awesomes” given out to this video that it sounded like….. well I can’t think of anything witty, it was just really lispy.

Second – Attack of the slap

This guy is a sign language interpretor and I have to say I respect his career choice. Spending your time to learn sign language and help others is an honorable thing to do, that being said, having a big heart doesn’t mean you can create this and be above criticism. Watch this video and ask yourself the entire time, “Why does love make the world fall down down down and what can we do to stop it? Or more so, what can we do to stop this video?” Not only is the song really bland and heavily over produced, but what is the point of singing, if you aren’t going to… sing? I can judge this video without remorse because I don’t need to be able to sing to do so, considering this person did not sing either.  Say it with me aspiring singers… “If you need Auto Tune to produce your hit CD, it’s time to check out refrigeration repair at Devry University.”

It also doesn’t help that the video is shot badly and the “story” is awkward and uncomfortable to watch. I have lived in this town for most of my life and I have never seen people walk around with “hate” above their heads. And you know I’ve looked.

I have never thought, “I bet a deaf person would really enjoy this song” before.  Also, who would have ever guessed that homophobia could be confronted with a sassy slap to the nose. Take that intolerance!

Final – Marriage-shake

Sean seems like a really nice guy and his message has good intentions. He is involved in a lot of gay rights groups and has his own channel devoted to the happenings of the gay political community. However…. dear god what is this? A parody of the famous (and no longer hip or popular) “Milkshake” song, sung to the lyrics of… gay marriage… I guess? I will give him credit for actually singing the song, as opposed to Helen Keller up there, but the lyrics in this song are so preposterous it almost makes me want to go to the other side. I mean, the lyrics don’t even match the tune of the song and they feel forced the entire time, not to mention the glaringly awkward vehcile they are delivered in. I am thankful we were spared a video to go along with this, as I can only vaguely imagine twinks drinking milkshakes and then breaking down into some tacky sex dance while wearing wedding dresses. On second thought…. that could be kinda of awesome.

So, until next time my little puppets, remember. Just because it involves gay-ness, doesn’t mean it gets a free pass. Seriously though, these videos are horrible. Take that intolerance!

Ah crap, now I have to buzz my head and buy a wife beater. Condoms? Booo!

A California advisory board has convened and is building the framework for the regulation of the the porn industry. For years, many have claimed the porn industry has run rampant with dangerous practices and is long overdue for regulatory oversight. I am in favor of oversight, if it is necessary. Mandatory STD testing and proper protection for employees and performers should be enacted, in regards to full acknowledgment of their employers expectations and their own responsibility. However, there are open calls to create a law forcing all adult film actors to wear protection in their films.  The logic is that people watch bareback porn and thus engage in bareback sex, because watching a video effectively removes all personal responsibility.

I understand that HIV rates are no longer shrinking and the public in general has a blase attitude towards the disease, but to assume people engage in bareback sex because of a video and not a lack of personal control is faulty and lazy reasoning. People engage in unprotected sex because it feels much better than protected sex, period. I have never met a gay men who openly stated, “I love the feel of joyless sex and condoms are the bees knees! However, I really want to be popular and when I see whores on tv do it unprotected, it makes me want to fit in. I really desire popularity above my personal health.” It is one thing to regulate STD testing and another to strip the public of yet another expectation of personal responsibility. If you engage in risky behavior, you are more than aware of the risks associated with that choice and it would be childish to blame pornography for your own short comings.

We demand so little of our populace as it is and the more we continue to treat them like children, the more we will have to step up and protect them from themselves. HIV and AIDS are very serious issues that require proper dissemination of information and a well informed community, but to claim that bareback sex makes one act without will is the same as claiming that Halo causes children to become violent.  I happen to be a fan of pornography and it has kept me out of trouble through out my life, but I have no real interest in whether or not actors wear condoms. The problem with this comes down to creating another path towards a nanny state in which we remove the public from the realm of personal responsibility. Grown adults are responsible for their own lives and their own action Us.ntil we demand more of our public, they will continue to find a scapegoat for their own failures.

How do you feel about this? Are you in favor of this law? If so, why?

Personal Responsibility is a myth! If porn stars don’t wear condoms, I won’t either. is a post from: Necropolitica - Deleting the stereotype

Maggie Gallagher - Looking all sexy and shit

The National Organization for Marriage, which is ironically against all forms of marriage but heterosexual ones, has announced that their President Maggie Gallagher will be stepping down and replaced by executive director Brian Brown. Maggie will be staying on a special executive committee that will allow her to continue to make inflammatory and factual incorrect accusations against homosexuals and anyone else she personally dislikes.  On this committee, we can assume she will continue to rail against gay relationships of any kind as well as lambast proponents of abortion, sex education and common sense. Mrs. Gallagher was a former unwed mother before she founded NOM.  Thankfully she realized her personal mistakes and direct assaults on her own moral views had no impact on her ability to judge others, all while holding a degree in (wait for it) religious studies.

Brian has not only “overseen” — he has instigated and created (under God) NOM’s incredible growth in less than three years: from one donor to 35,000, from no activists to over 500,000, from zero public profile to the recent public acknowledgment by the Washington Post that NOM has emerged as the “pre-eminent national organization fighting the legalization of same-sex marriage.” In less than three years, NOM has compiled an incredible record of victories (forging coalitions and working with many others who also deserve the credit, we never forget): putting Prop 8 on the ballot in California, overturning gay marriage in Maine, blocking gay marriage bills in New York and New Jersey, fighting in court to protect marriage activists from legal harassment, helping turn “scozzfava” into a verb. (To “scozzfava” a politician is to inform GOP primary voters that he or she is pro-gay marriage).

I contact a professor of Unicorn studies and Shamrock magic, but have yet to hear their views on this policy change. Hopefully their intense educational fortitude will shine further light on this shake up.

Constance McMillen, the lesbian student who was denied the right to bring her girlfriend to her prom, has won her day in court.  The judge said that she had the right to attend the privately held prom, but did not force the school to reinstate the original, school sponsored, prom. Along with the ruling, students are allowed to wear outfits that would typically be reserved for someone of the same sex. This verdict comes on the heels of a similar reversal of position by a Georgia school district that had originally told 18 year old Derrick Martin that he could not attend prom with his bf.  I would not be surprised if all of this Constance business was a major factor in their reversal.  More on Constance’s victory from the ACLU.

U.S. District Judge Glen H. Davidson denied the ACLU’s request for a preliminary injunction. He said he’ll still hold a trial, but he did not set a date, meaning any ruling would likely come too late to have the prom when it was originally scheduled. Davidson did say in his order that the district had violated McMillen’s constitutional rights by denying her request to bring her girlfriend and wear a tuxedo. “We consider this a victory,” said ACLU Mississippi legal director Kristy Bennett. But Davidson said a private prom parents are now planning will serve the same purpose as the school prom. He wrote in his ruling that “requiring defendants to step back into a sponsorship role at this late date would only confuse and confound the community on the issue.”

Constance McMillen proving that lesbians too, have hands.

Norrie-May

Ok so (his, her?) name isn’t Pat, but I couldn’t resist.

Meet Norrie May-Welby, the worlds first genderless person, also known as a neuter. Norrie was born a man 48 years ago, but had a sexual reassignment surgery at age 28, only to change hirms mind and become classified as genderless. I really am not trying to be obnoxious with all the pronoun jokes, but I have no idea what the proper English word would be in this case. Considering Norrie is now classified as a neuter, I will use the term “ner” in place of him or her. Hurrah! Politically correct and proper English… kinda.

Norrie resides in South Wales, Australia and has asked state officials to change the information on ners birth certificate to reflect ners gender reassignment. When asked why ner had the change legally recognized, ner said it was to preempt any legal or passport issues that may arise when ner traveled abroad.  Norrie had this to say,

If I need to show identity documents, I certainly don’t want details that are false, for this will only cause trouble when officials realize I don’t match my documents.

If my passport, for example, states that I am female, I may be detained when traveling if the local jurisdiction classes me based on the gender assigned at birth, or if my physically noticeable masculine aspects (for example, my Adam’s apple, or my broad chest) are noticed.

If the passport states male, again there is a dissonance with my physical form, castration having had a feminizing effect, and I am usually moving and talking in a feminine manner.

This entire article asks the question,  ”Just what is gender identity and what does it mean to us?”.  Considering that no two genders are exactly alike and we only share genetic markers that are classified as male or female, it puts an interesting twist on human sexuality and gender.  I don’t know how I feel about this, mainly because I don’t understand it, but as long as Norrie is happy, more power to ner.

Live and let live I say. That being said, I could never say good bye to my penis. I love ner too much.
