I'm all for benefits that help the community out, but this type of benefits only proves how far some will go to have a date no matter how short with someone that they find attractive, and that under normal circumstance wouldn't stand a chance getting a date with.

Well the males any way, I have only time realize that Lesbians don't have the same hang ups as gay men do. Lesbians are more accepting of each other more then gay men are.

With that said, let get to my main point, why is it that when these group have these type of benefits and galas, why do they always pick the most expense venue.

The Winner of Mr Gay World, I'm shock

Yes it is true this is the winner of the Mr Gay World contest. Shocking isn't it, I mean I am shock.

Mr. Gay Ireland, Max Krzyzanowski, becomes Mr. Gay World 2009 in front of a sold-out audience at the grand finale in Whistler, Canada.

I see over the man hunt voting page they don't letting their votes poll result out yet, I would have to why.

My blog poll has Arturas Vipas Burnickis as the winner, the last time when i was able the result at manhunt , Edson Lopes was in the lead..

Also Max is only one of the few that didn't keep changing his photo at the Delegate page. 

However is pic on his face book page is way hotter, 

Do we really need to know this

Jai Rodriguez Finds His Pearly White Partner

Nearly forgotten about Queer Eye Jai Rodriguez has a new boyfriend. And this is news because … it's Saturday, and we're supposed to have the day off.

Do we really need to know every time one of our LGBT actors or TV Star gets a new boytoy, really Isn't this just throwing our sex life in other people faces. Inmost case this only proves that we can't keep it our pants, just look how many Lance's boytoys there have been in the last few years..

Yasmin Nair post over at The Bilerico Project

I think Jacobs and Potter put it best: "...when it comes to crime, all victims are a protected group. Why should some victims be considered more protected than others?" We could also extend that, as they do, and ask: Does hate crimes legislation do anything more than punish ideology? Again, from Jacobs and Potter, "Hate Crime" is a social construct. ... it focuses on the psyche of the criminal rather than on the criminal's conduct. It attempts to extend the civil rights paradigm into the world of crime and criminal law.

Which brings me to the issue of how utterly ineffectual hate crimes legislation is in terms of addressing the very real violence against the very bodies it claims to protect. Sure, we can find more ways to document harassment and violence against transgender bodies and to put people away forever for the same.

So stop by the Bilerico Project and read this post for yourself, Click here to read more., 

Freedom to Marry Week 2009 (passing on this email

Dear Blogger:

This Monday, February 9, bloggers in the LGBT community and their allies will be participating in "The Only Agenda Is Love," a blogswarm in support of Freedom to Marry Week. By being a part of this effort, you will help contribute to a blogsphere-wide education campaign about ways your readers can help promote fair legislation and rescind anti-equality measures.

We hope you will take a moment to blog on this important issue. Several states, including New York and New Jersey, are poised to consider marriage equality this year. The California Supreme Court will consider the legality of Prop 8 on March 5.
We expect several hundred bloggers to participate. Please help us spread the word by putting up a short post in advance just to tell readers that the event is coming up. We're also offering some exciting prizes. For each post you write, up to a maximum of 4, we'll enter you into a contest for a $250 prize or one of three $100 prizes*.

Once you've posted on February 9, visit Mombian to submit the link to your post(s). We'll be sure to link it from our master list of participating blogs.

So Glad that Q-note s will conutine to publish Joseph Urbaniak column

Yes, the staff of Q-notes has decided to conutine the Joseph Urbaniak column.

I'm so glad, and proud of the staff to stand up for another person rights.

I'm also glad that Matt wrote the following,

The LGBT community says it wants equality. We should have enough conviction to stand by our words. Urbaniak committed a crime, has almost finished paying for that crime and is a member of the LGBT community. We don’t have to endorse his crime in order for him to be a part of our community. I’m constantly surrounded by people whose actions and decisions I don’t like or can’t stand (sometimes even my co-workers and best friends). Being an asshole, immoral degenerate, liar or all-around scumbag doesn’t get you tossed out of the LGBT community. Why does committing a crime automatically mean you no longer matter?

enough said on that point.
