She will be eligible for parole in 25 years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The unthinkable," said Smith County assistant district attorney Joe Murphy. "She had her kids have sex with each other and taught them to masterbate. She taught them how to strip. She withheld food from them. All so she could make money."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The so-called "Mineola Swinger's Club" is a place where Mayo forced her kids to go, if they wanted dinner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inside that 'club', which was a rented-out business that ironically once served as a daycare and hospital, Mayo and five others are accused of running an operation that forced young children to dance and perform sexual skits for food.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Five of the children are now in custody and three of them are Mayo's kids.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Texas Ranger Phillip Kemp, the lead investigator in the case, testified Wednesday that he believes that at least 15 more kids 'performed' at the "Mineola Swinger's Club" - but the investigation to locate them continues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In March and less than 10 minutes after deliberating, a Smith County jury found Mayo's live-in boyfriend, 36-year-old Jaime Pittman, guilty of aggravated sexual assault of a child and he was sentenced to life behind bars. Mayo's mother, Sheila Sones, is also charged in connection wtih this case.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the times the alleged assaults took place in 2005, the defendant's children were a five-year-old girl, six-year-old boy and seven-year-old girl. The sibling's aunt and defendant's sister, who was also six-years- old, also testified she was forced to dance and have sex with the other children.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Late Wednesday afternoon, three young children and one teenager, took the stand and answered questions about Mayo's involvement in the case.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We learned to strip (at 'kindergarten')," said the seven-year-old. " I had to touch my privates with my sister's and brother's privates for the people in the club."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The little boy testified about stripping for an audience that paid money to watch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;KETK does not identify sexual assault victims nor the new parents of these children.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the adoptive mother's testimony, three years removed from the sex ring, the kids still suffer extreme behavioral, emotional and physical problems.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One after another, the children described in graphic detail of a place they dubbed 'kindergarten.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At 'kindergarten,' they said they learned how to strip, dance and perform sexual acts. First on dolls, then on each other. They also testified about 'silly pills.' Those pills were what each kid described they were given before going on stage. Prosecutors testified that the pills were likely Vicodin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Upon "graduating" from 'kindergarten' the children said they moved on to "perform" at the club. After patrons paid a fee to get in, the kids say they had sexual contact with other children in front of an audience - including siblings and family members.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jury members -- six men and four women -- cried as the kids testified. The children would not look at their mother until prosecutors asked them to identify and article of clothing she was wearing. Mayo sobbed upon seeing her kids and hearing the recollection of the events that took place, allegedly, in her care.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The children were adopted by a 60-year-old woman and man who said they have served as foster parents for 37 years.

I'm going to let you read what was written, as to how it came about being a fabulous Transsexual rock throwing game.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here goes....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;If you like your main characters strong like a bull and dainty as a fairy, try this...the Pebble Dash review.&lt;/b&gt;  This is the caption on the article located at Digg.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's the description of the game, found at Beefjack Games...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Overall&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We start off with our &lt;b&gt;lady man ready to throw some rock.  I only say lady boy because I can't tell whether this is a boy or a girl.  He/she wears brown boots with a purple flower combo strap, football stripy top and brown shirt/shorts to match.  Of course no fucked up outfit would be complete with a feather in your head to really finish the look&lt;/b&gt;.  Anyway, one click of the mouse button sets your angle another click to set your power, here comes the tricky part of the game.  Sitting and watching your rock travel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wicked.  &lt;b&gt;In fact this Lady boy is so strong he/she can pelt the pebble around the world which actually is the best (and only) part.&lt;/b&gt;  The variation in scenery actually fools you into thinking the pebble is moving and worse yet you start to care.  I actually found myself cheering the pebble on and smirking to myself for the two meaningless button clicks I made at the start.  It was at this point I realized I was enjoying myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Watching a lady boy throw pebbles had totally engrossed me for half an hour, which sadly was all I could bear.&lt;/b&gt;  Once I stopped kidding myself that there is any skill involved I began to lose interest.  Good music very tropical, interesting sound effects, track 2 is a bit iffy, sounds as thought its ripped from a dodgy final fantasy scene.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;If you've been itching to get your hands on a transsexual rock thrower, your wait is over.&lt;/b&gt;  go to &lt;a href="http://www.beefjack.com/previews&amp;amp;reviews/browser/repebble.html"&gt;BeefJack Previews and Reviews.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What do you all think about this?  Is it insulting, because I really don't know?  I love when I find Dyke Super Sheroes.  I like Dyke Comics, things of this nature don't offend me.   It's no more offensive to me than my feeling the power in 'God is a Dyke and Jesus is Gay'.  Although, I know I render some people speechless to say, the very least.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How do you feel about Beefjacks review and the Title that was given to it when reposted or submitted at Diggs?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Leave me your thoughts and comments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm interested in your point of view &amp;amp; your take on this - insulting - powerful - complimentary -or merely degrading, which one is it?</description><link>http://godisadyke.blogspot.com/2008/06/review-of-pebble-dash-transexual-rock.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Miss Vicki)</author><thr:total>6</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5630809511661253266.post-5404741410946884799</guid><pubDate>Sun, 22 Jun 2008 21:53:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-06-22T17:57:23.505-04:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">a woman president</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">for women only</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">political humor</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">women issues</category><title>There Will Be A Woman For President</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://mail2.someecards.com/filestorage/soto_18.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" src="http://mail2.someecards.com/filestorage/soto_18.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</description><link>http://godisadyke.blogspot.com/2008/06/there-will-be-woman-for-president.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Miss Vicki)</author><thr:total>6</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5630809511661253266.post-6170416328588756223</guid><pubDate>Sun, 22 Jun 2008 14:35:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-06-22T10:45:04.133-04:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Duanna Johnson</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">homophia</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">LGBT</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">LGBT civil rights</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">LGBTI</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">LGBTQI</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">same-sex</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Transgender</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Transsexual</category><title>Transsexual Beaten by Memphis Police Officer Speaks Out</title><description>&lt;div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"&gt;I could only watch this video once!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know that Ms. Johnson will receive due justice there is no doubt.

Since then, she has become a champion for education, social justice and pride.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;SEGMENT ONE&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Judy Shepard has spoken to over one million students, since her son's death.  She narrates the one thing which keeps her going are the children whose parents aren't supportive, those who are rejected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet there is one story in particular that stands out for Mrs. Shepard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A 16 year old boy informed his mother one morning on the way to school, that he was gay.  He felt this would be the best time, she was driving and they had an audience.  Sadly, homophobia and hatred still prevailed.  The young man's  mother pulled the car over and put him out.  Making sure that he understood, that she never wanted to see him again. (&lt;b&gt;doesn't this sound horrid!)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;SEGMENT TWO&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;Judy speaks on Oklahoma Lawmaker Sally Kern, hate crime and the Bush Administration.  She also wonders where the community responsibility as a whole was when it came to Lawrence King and his convicted accuser.  How the school's involvement has a stake in teaching against homophobia and any hatred due to 'difference'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;you can view these short segments at &lt;a href="http://www.inthelifetv.org/html/episodes/60.html"&gt;In The LIFE TV.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://godisadyke.blogspot.com/2008/06/in-life-conversation-with-judy-shepard.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Miss Vicki)</author><thr:total>3</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5630809511661253266.post-9091805403379174863</guid><pubDate>Sat, 21 Jun 2008 04:22:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-06-21T00:34:04.046-04:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">juvenile crime</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">juvenile penal code and system</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">LGBT incarceration</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">transgender issues</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Transgender youth</category><title>New York Juvenile Prison System Passes New Pro Transgender/Gay Polices</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://blogs.kansascity.com/photos/uncategorized/2007/12/17/pink.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://blogs.kansascity.com/photos/uncategorized/2007/12/17/pink.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a major break through, which hopefully will lead to many changes, that are also needed within the adult penal system, as it pertains to housing the Transgender population and their treatment, during incarceration ---  It's simply adhering to their basic civil rights.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Three very important rulings were established - Transgender youth will now be addressed by the name of their choice, they are afforded the opportunity to select which uniform they will wear and they can request special housing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, Kudos!

And that's when it started," Johnson said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We wanted some acknowledgement - my client did - so she would know that the Memphis Police Department didn't condone this," said Murray Wells, Johnson's attorney. "We were optimistic that they would be as outraged about this as we are, and we haven't gotten any indication that they're interested in it at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A copy of the tape was reviewed by both the FBI and the District Attorney's office, the latter of which dropped all charges against Johnson. An FBI investigation into possible civil rights violations is still underway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, the Memphis Police Department confirmed that the officer holding Johnson was on probation, and has been fired. The officer who threw the punches is currently on non-enforcement status pending an administrative hearing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;and this is why i do not own a gun, 'cause i would shoot it.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;</description><link>http://godisadyke.blogspot.com/2008/06/video-memphis-police-officer-beats.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Miss Vicki)</author><thr:total>7</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5630809511661253266.post-6133111596876725075</guid><pubDate>Thu, 19 Jun 2008 18:56:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-06-20T22:16:51.509-04:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">gays and lesbians</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">hatred</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">homophobia</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">LGBT</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">prejudice</category><title>Should Gays and Lesbians Burn in Hell (poll)</title><description>&lt;b&gt;Look at this poll I discovered....lol! &lt;br /&gt;I mean you have to laugh at the ignorance!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.99polls.com/polls_c8.swf" width="250" height="157"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.99polls.com/polls_c8.swf"&gt;&lt;param name="FlashVars" value="&amp;amp;id=9605&amp;amp;width=250&amp;amp;backgroundColor=0x820824&amp;amp;borderColor=0xCF0C3A&amp;amp;borderSize=5&amp;amp;radius=1&amp;amp;lang=ww"&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.99polls.com/polls_c8.swf" flashvars="&amp;amp;id=9605&amp;amp;width=250&amp;amp;backgroundColor=0x820824&amp;amp;borderColor=0xCF0C3A&amp;amp;borderSize=5&amp;amp;radius=1&amp;amp;lang=ww" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="250" height="157"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.forexcult.com/"&gt;Trading Forex&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.99polls.com/"&gt;Free Poll&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;You are seeing that both answers are Yes and more Yes.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;My comment left was this - Only if we get to take straight heterosexual Holier Than Thou assholes with us - then, Yes Burn Baby Burn!&lt;/b&gt;</description><link>http://godisadyke.blogspot.com/2008/06/should-gays-and-lesbians-burn-in-hell.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Miss Vicki)</author><thr:total>5</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5630809511661253266.post-2789274131330323623</guid><pubDate>Thu, 19 Jun 2008 16:27:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-06-19T13:27:48.367-04:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Fred Phelps anti gay protestors</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">gay rights</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">homophobia</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">LGBT</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Meet The Press</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Tim Russert's funeral</category><title>Fred Phelps Protestors at Tim Russert's Funeral</title><description>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;They just keep showing up at the wrong funerals!

Commonly thought to be an extreme branch of the Religious Right, they in fact profoundly loathe the figures most identified with religious conservatism.  &lt;b&gt;---Wow that they appear lifelike and human so this author is what confirming our back in the mind thoughts -- they are monsters and demons -- possibly aliens?  Sorry aliens I didn't mean to disrespect you like that!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why, then, disturb the peace of Tim Russert, a man privately devout in his practice of a faith not known for its friendliness to gays?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Phelpses say that Russert failed to use his prominence to fulminate against gays in general, or even ordained gay pedophiles in his own religion. (Guilty as charged, I guess.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I cannot imagine that Russert would have wanted these crazed First Amendment absolutists at his own memorial service, but as a journalist, he might have bitterly appreciated their right to be there. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;---&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;Evidently, this author is on crack and they're drunk!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;You can finish reading (these were only excerpts) this journalistic winning article...at &lt;a href="http://thecurrent.theatlantic.com/archives/2008/06/westboro-baptist-church.php"&gt;The Family That Protests Together/The Atlantic.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;</description><link>http://godisadyke.blogspot.com/2008/06/fred-phelps-protestors-at-tim-russerts.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Miss Vicki)</author><thr:total>7</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5630809511661253266.post-3629992078366611845</guid><pubDate>Thu, 19 Jun 2008 13:23:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-06-19T09:26:12.649-04:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">gay and lesbian studies</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">gay genes</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">LGBT</category><title>Female relatives of gay men tend to have more children</title><description>&lt;div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;I swear I don't make this stuff up...it's another study!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; Homosexuality in males may be caused in part by genes that can increase fertility in females, according to a new study.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The findings may help solve the puzzle of why, if homosexuality is hereditary, it hasn't already disappeared from the gene pool, since gay people are less likely to reproduce than heterosexuals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;A team of researchers found that some female relatives of gay men tend to have more children than average.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The scientists used a computer model to explain how two genes passed on through the maternal line could produce this effect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2004 the researchers studied about 200 Italian families and found that the mothers, maternal aunts and maternal grandmothers of gay men are more fecund, or fruitful, than average.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recently, they tried to explain their findings with a number of genetic models, and found one that fit the bill.  click here  &lt;a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,368541,00.html"&gt;Study:  Gay Genes May Make Females More Fertile.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://godisadyke.blogspot.com/2008/06/female-relatives-of-gay-men-tend-to.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Miss Vicki)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5630809511661253266.post-4753653352992421936</guid><pubDate>Thu, 19 Jun 2008 13:16:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-06-19T09:23:05.401-04:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">gay and lesbian</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">gay pride</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">LGBT</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">LGBT domestic violence</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">same sex</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">same sex marriage</category><title>Let's focus on the not so pretty of the Gay and Lesbian</title><description>&lt;div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"&gt;According to Brian Fitzpatrick, guest columnist of OneNewsNow.com the media is in a gay lesbian bisexual and transgender hoopla of positive images of the community.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, instead of showing the pride celebrations and the wonders of the same-sex marriage, that has been granted we should talk about this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Here are a few facts the media ought to be discussing:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Despite the greater ability of same-sex partners to understand each others' points of view, same-sex relationships tend to be short-lived.  (Diggs, &lt;em&gt;The Health Risks of Gay Sex&lt;/em&gt;, p. 9)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Homosexual households are also more prone to domestic violence. For example: "The incidence of domestic violence among gay men is nearly double that in the heterosexual population," according to D. Island and P. Letellier in &lt;em&gt;Men Who Beat the Men Who Love Them&lt;/em&gt; (New York: Haworth Press, 1991). A study in the &lt;em&gt;Journal of Social Service Research&lt;/em&gt; reported that "slightly more than half of the [lesbians surveyed] reported that they had been abused by a female lover/partner." (G. Lie and S. Gentlewarrior, "Intimate Violence in Lesbian Relationships: Discussion of Survey Findings and Practice Implications," No. 15, 1991.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Same-sex "marriage" doesn't just redefine who can be married, it's an attempt to redefine marriage itself.  As homosexual writer Michelangelo Signorile put it, "A middle ground might be to fight for same-sex marriage and its benefits and then, once granted, redefine the institution of marriage completely, to demand the right to marry not as a way of adhering to society's moral codes but rather to debunk a myth and &lt;em&gt;radically alter an archaic institution&lt;/em&gt;."(&lt;em&gt;OUT&lt;/em&gt; magazine, 1994)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;How will the "archaic institution" be redefined? Pro-homosexual author Judith Levine:  "Because American marriage is inextricable from Christianity, it admits participants as Noah let animals onto the ark. But it doesn't have to be that way. In 1972, the National Coalition of Gay Organizations demanded the repeal of all legislative provisions that restrict the sex or number of persons entering into a marriage unit; and the extension of legal benefits to all persons who cohabit regardless of sex or numbers .... Group marriage could comprise any combinations of genders."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;A new definition of monogamy that excludes fidelity, especially among gay males.  In a 1984 study of 156 male couples in relationships lasting 1 to 37 years,  researchers McWhirter and Mattison found that only seven couples had maintained sexual fidelity, and none of the exclusive couples had been together for more than five years. (Also, see Diggs, &lt;em&gt;The Health Risks of Gay Sex&lt;/em&gt;, p. 8.)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Same-sex "marriage" offers our friends in the press quite a lot to write about, if they'd just take off those party hats."   &lt;a href="http://www.onenewsnow.com/Perspectives/Default.aspx?id=142788"&gt;OneNewsNow.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Poor little thing really has it twisted!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Let's talk about Divorce and the reason for it - granted to heterosexuals who could no longer get along.  And, what about Domestic Violence laws and shelters?  Uhm why are the laws and shelters in existence - because heterosexuals beat the crap out of the ones they've been known to love.  Let's see monogamy - please just give me a break, another one of the adulterous reasons for divorce as a law.  And, since we're on the subject - why do we have Adoption an adoption laws - because for whatever reason heterosexual couples and singles chose to not raise their children.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Any of the categories and topics which dear sweet Fitzpatrick wants to focus on he best remember how its origination was formed.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://godisadyke.blogspot.com/2008/06/lets-focus-on-not-so-pretty-of-gay-and.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Miss Vicki)</author><thr:total>2</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5630809511661253266.post-6379852525695774183</guid><pubDate>Wed, 18 Jun 2008 14:05:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-06-18T10:45:16.010-04:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Aisha Tyler</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">women in entertainment</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">women in film</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">women issues</category><title>Aisha Tyler Hosts Women in Film, a Tribute</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://blogs.sohh.com/1224-style/img/sohh6.18.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://blogs.sohh.com/1224-style/img/sohh6.18.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;I have lots of loyal readers and subscribers, which absolutely adore Aisha Tyler and believe me I understand why!

Meat increases the risk of breast cancer. A 2007 study of 35,000 women published in the British Journal of Cancer found that women who ate meat were far more likely to develop breast cancer than women who consumed none. Will Jessica's next t-shirt will say, "Real Girls Smoke 3 Packs a Day"?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Real girls don't support animal abuse. Compassion is super sexy, if the huge number of hot celebs ditching meat is any indication. Young women turn vegetarian in droves when they learn that the meat industry cuts the sensitive beaks off newborn chicks and cuts off the tails of baby piglets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. The meat industry is destroying the Earth. The only thing that's hot about the meat industry is that it's toasting the planet. According to the United Nations, raising animals for food causes more greenhouse-gas emissions than all the cars, trucks, SUVs, planes, and ships in the world combined.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Meat will make you fat. All the saturated fat and cholesterol in chicken wings, pork chops, and steak eventually leads to flabby thighs and love handles. I hope the upcoming "Jessica Simpson's Intimates" line comes in plus sizes! Going vegetarian is the best way to get slim and stay that way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Eating meat steals food from starving kids. Jessica's trip to help kids in Africa got a lot of media buzz, but by gnawing on meat, she's essentially stealing food from the mouths of starving children since it takes up to 16 pounds of grain to produce just 1 pound of meat. If more people went vegetarian, we'd free up enough grain to feed every person in the world.  &lt;br /&gt;(&lt;a href="http://blog.peta.org/archives/2008/06/top_five_reason.php?c=pfjsrem08"&gt;The PETA Files.&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;—Christine&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Posted by Christine Dore&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;</description><link>http://godisadyke.blogspot.com/2008/06/peta-calls-jessica-simpson-stupid.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Miss Vicki)</author><thr:total>13</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5630809511661253266.post-9192867371480953794</guid><pubDate>Tue, 17 Jun 2008 18:07:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-06-17T14:16:35.883-04:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">bisexuality</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">gay lesbian bisexual transgender</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">LGBT</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">lgbt studies</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">sexual orientation</category><title>Bisexuality is no longer declared a phase</title><description>&lt;b&gt;Well I'm sure all the bisexuals will rest better knowing this...lol&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;A study has found the female bisexuality is a sexual orientation and not really experimental or a transitional stage on the way to what we call lesbianism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Is this stuff funny!

Initiated by Nanette Gartrell, MD, the NLLFS examines the social, psychological, and emotional development of the children as well as the dynamics of alternative families and children of LGBT parents. This is the longest-running and largest prospective investigation of lesbian moms and their children in the United States. This study is intended to generate information for specialists in healthcare, family services, sociology, feminist studies, education, ethics, gay marriage, and public policy on matters pertaining to LGBT families.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>http://godisadyke.blogspot.com/2008/06/national-longitudinal-lesbian-family.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Miss Vicki)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5630809511661253266.post-6691259642912758170</guid><pubDate>Tue, 17 Jun 2008 04:31:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-06-17T00:37:48.024-04:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">gay clergy</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">LGBT civil rights</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">religion</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">religious beliefs</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Rev.
