Once again, via #Qnotes, Only Charlotte NC matter to LGBT life.

The Best of Charlotte have been named for 2015. The Rest of the NC, remember  you don’t really matter to the Staff of Qnotes, cause the only LGBT life worth writing about is that of Charlotte, well till the Pride events roll in towns..

Just Shameful..

One would think after Qnotes and The FrontPage merged it would completely include the whole state..

A legal Double Standard

If one can’t consent because they are drunk then the other can’t either..

OutGiving Secret Gay Inc., Conference in FL

For those whom might not know there is another Dallas type meeting happening in Miami Fl, this weekend (THE MIAMI AGENDA 2011). Two hundred people were email a special invite to this event. Then they had to registered for the event which cost $1400.00 per person. This Event was hosted and planned by the Gill Foundation.. 

ALSO NO PRESS WAS INVITED OR ALLOW…

One of NC own bloggers was invited to this event. Yes Pam of Pam’s houseblend was invited and went to this Event.

This was her first tweet about the event,

Report from #Outgiving - panels on great topics - #DADT, #marriage, social media (mine), #trans #bullying, etc.; nothing top secret IMHO.

Yet I’m sure the majority are bloggers and LGBT activist which mean there are already in the public as a public figure.





Social media has been around since Obama got elected. as for the entire LGBT ecosystem,this type can survive without each other, unlike those in a true ecosystem.

Yes More Rich gay men trying to take ownership of the LGBT movement. They also are trying to turn the movement into what they want it to be. Not what is truly in the best interest of our communities.

Not looking good for Same Sex Marriage here in NC

Gill Foundation Hosting Top Secret Gay Inc. Event in Miami

Yet our community is being block as a whole from this event. Why? No Press allow, there have been no tweets or Fb post concerning this event, not even on the Gill’s Facebook or Twitter or their Webpage.




Then why are we being deny to participate in this event..



Why are you blocking us from this opportunity to contribute to our community. Those that have been chosen are those whom have large sums of money. The working class gays are being left out, solely because we don’t have finical footing.

The Gill Foundation is one of the nation’s largest funders of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender equal rights work. Our goal is straightforward: we want to create an America in which all people are treated equally and respectfully.

Over the course of our history, we have invested more than $178 million, including $106 million in grants, to support programs and nonprofit organizations across America that share our commitment to equal rights for all Americans.

Yet they are not treating us equally at all.. Like the old saying “ money talks, shit walks.”

VIA twitter,

Report from #Outgiving - panels on great topics - #DADT, #marriage, social media (mine), #trans #bullying, etc.; nothing top secret IMHO. From Pam Spaulding..

Yet they can’t explain why #OutGiving is private LGBT event that is keeping the press out?

Emails have been sent asking why, no reply to date from the Gill.

THE main three at the Gill, Tim Gill, Urvashi Vaid, John Barabino.


this was the contact for the event, well the person on the invite email, any way.

Gill Foundtion is only for the Rich LGBTmembers

Working or middle class gays need not apply.

According to it's press release:

OutGiving 2011 promises to be our most thought-provoking and stimulating conference ever. We will focus on the work being done on local, national and international levels. We’ll examine current data on the state of the LGBT movement‘s organizations and issues. We’ll look closely at the changing environment, including changes in public attitudes on issues like marriage equality and safe schools, as well as the evolving trends and tactics of our opposition. And we’ll discuss expanded opportunities to engage new allies and new leadership, as well as the promise and challenges of organizing and communicating through new media.

Get ready....

OutGiving is an invitation-only event, no press allowed. We expect approximately 200 men and women whose cumulative net worth is in excess of $2 billion dollars to join us at this conference. These gay, lesbian and allied supporters’ combined philanthropy and political giving is estimated to be in excess of $100 million annually. Attendees also include leaders from the corporate and foundation community who are instrumental in funding LGBT causes, as well as many executive directors of LGBT organizations.

The Proof, that you must be rich to attend, 

Big Gay Inc. Event

I hope the boycott on Jamaica is still on…

Rob 2.0 beta is reporting that killing of gay men in Jamaica is still going on..

Something to Think about

Victory: Obama stops defending DOMA!

Dear James, Administration Drops Defense of DOMA Thank the President for standing up for same-sex couples and their families. Send your message now. In a rare and extraordinary step, today the Obama Administration announced that it will stop defending the discriminatory federal "Defense of Marriage Act" (DOMA) in court – specifically, the section that denies federal benefits to married same-sex couples. DOMA keeps these couples from getting family and medical leave, Social Security survivors' benefits, joint tax filing, and immigration rights, among many other benefits. You helped bring about this historic day. HRC supporters like you have written tens of thousands of letters to President Obama, shared thousands of personal stories of how DOMA has hurt their families, and helped HRC engage in years of advocacy on this issue with the administration. As President Obama himself has said, DOMA unfairly discriminates against Americans. He needs to know how many people applaud his decision to defend the principles of the constitution. Thank the President for standing up for same-sex couples and their families. The Obama Administration has dealt a double blow to DOMA today. Not only has it stopped defending this law (which the president has long called discriminatory), it has affirmed that any law that discriminates based on sexual orientation should have to pass a higher legal test in court. This is a monumental decision for thousands of same-sex couples and their families. Unfortunately, anti-LGBT leaders in Congress may have a chance to defend the law themselves, so it's not the end of the road for DOMA. But together, we'll fight any attempt to waste taxpayer dollars defending this patently unconstitutional law. The federal government has no business picking and choosing which legal marriages they want to recognize. Right now, send a message to the President thanking him for today's decision. Thank you for all your hard work on this issue, and for your continued commitment to building a nation where all are equal.

NC Marriage Activist Hypocrisy

Recently Matt over at Qnotes, wrote piece about the Filing of the Anti-gay marriage bill that was filed by Gaston County Sen. James Forrester.

link to the bill.

I made a simple comment on this post. It was short and to the point.

so where/when do we start our campaign against this bill?????????????????????
Comment by SNT — February 22, 2011 @ 9:28 pm

In which two fucking pinheads have to post their holier than thou opinions.

Appellation had this to say,

SNT,
At a very minimum, please pay attention to Equality NC. They’ve been fighting the marriage amendment for years, and have continued that fight this year.
They’ve already held one lobby day (earlier than usual). Their legislative contact campaign (email/phone/letter/etc.) has been active for weeks.
I know you’re aware of these happenings because you complain about them and then somehow find an excuse not to go or participate.
If you want to start your own campaign, no one is stopping you.
Otherwise, you still have the option to participate in existing efforts.
Comment by Appellation — February 23, 2011 @ 10:39 am (note some of the comment was deleted)

Then this asshole weight in,

@Appellation… I’m starting to think that SNT and other “gay” bloggers like him are just anti-gay trolls in sheep’s clothing out to distract gay folks, cause divisions and sow distrust among our community.
Comment by Oscar Meyer Weiner — February 23, 2011 @ 10:42 am

So simply by asking a question, these bastards attack me, fine but they know I can’t attack them back on Qnotes, because Matt has my name and ip set on Moderation. Which one post took almost all weekend to get approve.

I live east of 95 in North Carolina, Where little to none LGBT Events happen. yes many times I wish I could attend these events that are held in Raleigh or Durham, I plan to be there and some times live throw a curve ball and I can’t make it.

The last now LGBT Event held in the East where I could attend and did was during the anti-bulling campaign that was held in Rocky Mount.

Appellation, OMW,as the same mind set as Matt at Qnotes,, If you live east of Raleigh you simple don’t exist, this was prove some time back. When Matt stated that we here in the east was a waste of time and resources.

Now they want us to listen and follow Equality NC direction, well letters and email, campaign isn’t really going to work for those whom Representatives are those who co-sign this bill. So other measures must be enacted. One blogger in NC wants to the same type of campaign that Bill is doing in Indiana.

Yes it is true that Equality NC has carry this fight all these years on our behalf, but Now the fight is now here. It’s time for the LGBT Community of NC to do something. A Few years back our local fundies had a rally in Raleigh were they bused hundreds in, Equality NC and others didn’t want us to do a counter-rally, however a small group held one. (this was ignore by Qnotes). Yet when NOM Came To Raleigh the community find the time to out and protest.. So what will it be, we will Rage Rage against for this Plight.

TAKE ACTION: Anti-Gay Amendment Introduced in NC Senate Today

From: Ian Palmquist, Equality NC <enc@equalitync.org>

Subject: TAKE ACTION: Anti-Gay Amendment Filed Today

Yesterday Sen. Jim Forrester filed Senate Bill 106, an anti-LGBT constitutional amendment, and it will be introduced on the Senate floor today.

So far there are a total of 23 sponsors on the bill. I need you to contact your Senator today and ask him or her not to support this mean-spirited, bill.

Take action right now to ask your senator to oppose writing bigotry and discrimination into our state constitution.

This is just the beginning of the fight. Take a stand now, before it's too late!

Your senator needs to hear from you! Let him or her know that they must stand against this harmful bill.

Together, we can stop this attack on LGBT North Carolinians.

For Equality,

Ian

 

Does It Matter?

My parents asked me if I am gay

I said, "Does it matter?"

They said, "No, not really."

I told them, "Yes."

They said, "Get out of our lives."

I guess it mattered.

My boss asked me if I am gay.

I said, "Does it matter?"

He said, "No, not really."

I told him, "Yes."

He said, "You're fired, faggot."

I guess it mattered.

My friend asked me if I am gay.

I said, "Does it matter?"

He said, "No, not really."

I told him, "Yes."

He said, "Don't call me your friend."

I guess it mattered.

My partner asked, "Do you love me?"

I said, "Does it matter?"

He said, "Yes."

I told him, "I love you."

He said, "Let me hold you in my arms."

For the first time in my life something matters.

My God asked, "Do you love yourself?"

I said, "Does it matter?"

He said, "Yes."

I asked, "How can I love myself? I am gay."

He said, "That's the way I made you."

Nothing again will ever matter.

To March or not to March that is the Question?

This is from the Washington Blade,
Veteran activist Robin Tyler is ratcheting up her previous call for a national LGBT march on Washington, D.C., in 2012.

Tyler said the process of organizing a national march would trigger more activity in the states than what is currently taking place under the leadership of both state and national LGBT groups.

Well M.C. over that InterstateQ thinks this is a bad idea. This is what he claims:

Similarly, no one so far has pointed out any single direct benefit gained from any of our community’s past national marches on Washington. I’m willing to listen and weigh the evidence, but as it stands I know of no victories, successes or changes that came as a direct result of encouraging thousands or even hundreds of thousands to blow hundreds or thousands of dollars in traveling for to the national mall for one day’s worth of chanting and holding signs.

Well nothing never came out of these marches on Washington, I would beg the differ. Something always come out these Marches, they may be small changes, or more networking between local and national groups too.

He suggest, that Robin Tyler, if she is truly interest in creating change in this nation, then she support more local equality initiatives, and if she wants a national gathering, she should try attending the next Creating Change Conference. Where she will learn something and meeting new friends and allies, and will get resources to start on equality at home.

I think Matt is forgetting that Ms Tyler has been around much longer then he has. Fighting equality and social justice much longer then He has. However I forgot this is the new era of LGBT where the young think they own the movement…

However, Miss Negative Nancy had this to say as well,

But if education and true motivation to create change is not want you’re really after, then go ahead and plan a national march on Washington. You’ll just spend a day walking and marching and chanting and holding signs. When you go home, you’ll feel really, really good. But you’ll have exactly the same amount of resources you left home with: zero.

Then what do we get out of having Pride Marches every year? We walking around, chant, hold signs, buy pride items from vendors, this is sounding like same as a March on DC... to me..
