Ahmet Yildiz Killed by Father for being Gay
Thursday, January 21st, 2010
Family don’t always take on to a gay member of the clan. Some get mad, some even kick their kids out of the house. Opinions exist, cultures are vastly different from one another. One thing that is such a sad realization to see in this world is a lack of compassion for such a ‘whats the big deal’ kind of thing as happening to like something out of the norm.
Ahmet Yildiz‘ father killed him for being gay. Living an openly gay life in Turkey proved deadly. His murder was considered by his father and the community as a ‘gay honor’ killing and he traveled a long distance to kill him. No words…
A blog was set up in memory of Yildiz, which you can visit and print the poster above to show your support.
MR FRESH WATER, TEACHER IN OHIO BURNS A CROSS INTO GAY STUDENTS HAND!
Thursday, January 21st, 2010
I don’t know if I am late or maybe just my head is in the sand, but what the fuck is wrong with the world? In Ohio, a teacher burnt a sign of a cross into the hands of a child.
A hand of a child, a child!
What is wrong with us? how can we let something like this happen? A court has been in session for 13 months debating whether a man should be suspended for burning a child? The New York Times obtained a statement from the teacher,
“Mr. Freshwater, who declined to be interviewed, has said he did not mean to burn a cross on any student’s arm. Instead, he said he intended to leave a temporary X on the skin using a device called a Tesla coil during a science demonstration. He says he had done that, with no complaints, hundreds of times in his 21 years as a teacher at Mount Vernon Middle School.”
How can we explain such behaviour in the 21 century? Who cares what exactly you intended to burn, you don’t burn children!
Now down to the truth the reason for the burning of the cross was done to a gay student, perhaps to burn the gay out of him? – JAKE
THE TEACHER’S NAME IS MR. FRESHWATER CONTACT THE GOVERNOR AND TELL THEM HOW YOU FEEL. DONT BE A LAZY ASS .THIS IS YOUR SKIN THEY ARE BURNING.

Tires Slashed Outside Gay Club in Orlando
Tuesday, January 19th, 2010
The Revolutions club in Orlando on Monday is usually a Gay and Lesbian Hispanic night. Usually a fun night for everyone was a tire massacre for the unsuspecting clubbers. Two dozen car’s tires were slashed in the clubs parking lot.
First off I don’t know the semantics of the situation, but where was the doorman? Could he not see two dozen cars getting slashed? Have you ever tried to slash a tire? its kind of hard and makes a hissing sound imagine hissing times dozens, says something of the str8 owned club.
The police are not willing to call this a hate crime at the moment: they say no intent of gay bashing is evident. Let me get this straight. No tires were slashed in the entire neighborhood, the only place with slashes is the club with the gay party which has been running for years. So, was this a isolated attack with a purpose or just random? Get real Orlando. - Jake

Proposition 8 Trial Turns Attention to children raised by Gays
Saturday, January 16th, 2010
I try and remember when I was younger and a child, view it as a objective period of my life. Personally I believed I was straight at the time and didn’t doubt my attraction to women one bit. I loved that period but i do remember the terror I caused others. I know many straight friends in school that I mistreated and tortured with the “cool” kids. I do apologize with all my heart if you happen to be reading this, no I don’t have any excuse.
Three of my friends died growing up and two of them were tragic endings of being bullied and invisible to everyone at school. It is really hard to think that life in that period would be better if your parents are gay or straight. It certainly would not help and give ammunition to any bully in town. Certain kids get bullied and certain kids fight back the formula is not one of exact science. Some kids who are bullied are athletic, some are cute, some are smart, and some come from rich families. The defense at the Proposition 8 trial brought to the table various statistics as to why children raised by gay parents are at the same advantage as those raised by straight parents.
The defense called to the stand Michael Lamb, head of Cambridge University’s Department of Social and Developmental Psychology.
“The evidence makes clear that having a gay and lesbian parent does not make children more likely to be maladjusted,” Lamb testified.
” children reared by gays weren’t more likely to become gay than other children, but were more likely to be teased about their families by other children. Children of same-sex couples also have fewer sexual stereotypes, such as viewing a nurse as female and a doctor as male”
Attorney David H. Thompson for the Proposition 8 campaign cross-examined Lamb for hours, questioning the methodologies of some studies and portraying him as a “committed liberal.”
“The study is focused on lesbian parents, not gay men, and cited a study that found children of gays fared worse than those of heterosexuals.”
“2000 census data showed that 33% of lesbian households and 22% of gay male households were raising children.”
Both of the sides seem like they are out of touch with children, a study could show a certain reality in a situation but to every situation many variables exist. Children get bullied and mistreated in every form. Children get raped, abused, and mentally damaged. We know from countless of stories and personal experiences the fact of life, us as children are vulnerable and certain people crush the life out of vulnerability. Leave the courts for a minute , does it make a difference if you a have another reason to get bullied when every reason is available to get bullied! Does it make a difference if the parent abusing you is gay or straight? Does it make a difference who it is that is crushing? Some people are just shit and some situations are shit it has nothing to do with gay or straight. You think otherwise? – JAKE
