Animus
My love is yours, and yours is mine;
We are one, born of the divine
Fragments of light, specks of stardust,
And shards of a celestial crust;
We are all grapes of the same vine.
Our bodies are vessels, a shrine
Whose symbols all must surely rust;
Yet in pursuit of truth and trust,
My love is yours.
The deep crux of this grand design
Lies lost in thoughts, floating in brine;
In the void...

Fox News’ Liz Trotta, defending her comments about women in the military being raped too much.
This is a defense?
Video.

Yeah seems more like a double-down than a defense. She just exists in some strange hateful 1950s temporal distortion. -Joe

Indiana conservatives fight LGBT license plates →
gaywrites:
Remember that way-cool trend sweeping the nation where states have license plates devoted to LGBT causes?
Like clockwork, antigay activists in Indiana are working to stop the state from implementing license plates supporting the Indiana Youth Group, which supports LGBT youth. A group called Advance American is leading the way in lobbying lawmakers not to allow license plates to...

Sheriff's image shattered after he's outed →
gaywrites:
An Arizona sheriff built a strong reputation as a conservative icon for his appearances with John McCain and public opposition to the Obama administration. He’s running for a competitive GOP nomination in a conservative congressional district and had garnered a lot of support.
That changed this weekend, when Paul Babeu had to admit publicly that he was involved in a same-sex...

Stop Hate Crimes in NC! →
theamazingbeav:
Alright tumblr folk, this is your opportunity to help out North Carolina by A LOT.
Last week, two girls who reside in Boone, NC were attacked and beaten because of their sexual orientation. Details are in the article if you click on the link above. It’s completely unacceptable. Currently, NC does not protect the LGBT Community for hate crimes. The law in place for hate crimes...

Homophobic Parents Are Child Abusers
wahya-nvda:
Ricky Gervais has hit out at parents who ‘put the fear of God’ into their children for being gay or threaten them if they ever come out as being homosexual. Ricky is an admitted atheist and says although he respects others’ beliefs, he thinks some people take their opinions way too far to the point where it is detrimental to their offspring. ‘I’ve got nothing against people...

Keep The Faith: G.M.H. →
alwayslovewithcourage:
My favorite professor went to Harvard where she earned her Ph. D and is by far one of the most intelligent women I know. She is a political theorist and I have had her once for a class before the one I am in now. We were discussing homosexuality and how a liberal theorist would go about handling…

Atonement
My body blazed by open fire, Burned alive by my own desire; My lungs alight with acrid air; By greed I’m bound, it is my snare, The gasoline that fuels this pyre.
Helpless, the people watch my dire Plight, their voices words on a wire; In horror, they can only stare; My body blazed.
Yet as I begin to expire, Bored, to their homes they all retire. There, in the middle of the square, A beggar...

Young Chinese people OK with homosexuality →
gaywrites:
More than 80 percent of Chinese people ages 30ish and younger are accepting of homosexuality, according to a new study.
A major Chinese dating website conducted a survey and found that “83 percent of respondents born between 1980 and 1989, as well as 82 percent of those born after 1990, do not disapprove of homosexuality.” The same survey, however, found interesting statistics about...

gaywrites:
As more and more states join the discussion about marriage equality (what up, Washington and hopefully Maryland?) it’s important to think about how we talk about the issues at hand. More specifically: why do we use the language we do?
For a while, we referred to the overall political topic of people of the same sex getting married as “gay marriage.” But that’s never been right. Why?...

Recompense
We live in light of day; by night we dream
That soon all of our pain and suffering
Will fall in line with a vision we deem
Is worth the effort we spend in yearning.
Now full of a lofty, holy promise,
Of a land where we all are simply free,
We carry forth this, our flaming chalice,
Hoping its fruition we’ll live to see.
In truth, we continue to blaze this path,
Because we think we can...

gregpuciato:
I really think masculinity insecurity issues are the problem, and listening to testosterone charged music and putting on a tough guy front enables the people with those issues to live in a sort of constructed “man suit”, helping them to feel more adequate in their gender/sex role confusion. It masks the fact that they probably need therapy to deal with whatever went wrong in their...

Ursus Veritatem: Faith →
ursusveritatem:
Faith: confidence or trust in a person or entity.
What is faith? That’s a daunting question, and I feel that the answer is different for every person, but the definition I included above serves as a basic base for what I want to address in this post: what faith, in religious terms and…
I Started a New Blog →
Hello followers,
As some of you may already know, I’m starting treatment for depression soon, and I felt that having a spiritual outlet for myself during this process would be very beneficial. So, I created this new blog, with the intent of letting my spirituality out, unrestrained and unconcerned about what my “audience” may or may not think.
I understand and accept that much of my “audience”...
