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.

Court rejects bid for gay marriage referendum – Congrats!

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

Good Good! Unfortunately California taught us public referendums will not work. The public seems to want to choke the freedom out of us! This is a great victory the courts have spoken, you have no right to put Gay rights as a matter of public referendums. We have a right to have a right to marry as we like, and it will not be decided by the people! It will be decided by the courts and I hope the courts will see the injustice that is being done to us, how can you legally bind people based on biblical values congrats!

A D.C. Superior Court judge ruled Thursday that same-sex marriage opponents do not have a right to hold a public referendum on whether those marriages should be legal in the District.

The ruling, a major victory for gay rights activists, makes it more likely that the District will start allowing same-sex couples to marry in March.

The D.C. Board of Elections and Ethics has twice ruled that a referendum or initiative on same-sex marriage would violate a city law prohibiting a public vote on a matter covered by the Human Rights Act, which outlaws discrimination against gay men and lesbians and other minority groups.

But Bishop Harry Jackson, pastor of Hope Christian Church in Beltsville, appealed that ruling in superior court. Last week, 39 GOP congressmen filed a brief in support of Jackson’s appeal, arguing that the elections board overstepped its authority in denying a public vote on whether marriage should be defined as a being between a man and a woman.

Rep. Christine Johnson pregnant for gay couple

Sunday, January 10th, 2010

I think its the most beautiful gift someone could give to another human being. A women is venerated for the fact that she is physically mainly involved in the creation of human life. For a women to give up something that’s she is naturally made to keep, is hard to understand. But it is hard to understand two men and two women together, these concept are fresh as A status quo. I know homosexual behaviour is evident from thousands of years prior, I am referring to integration.  Gay couples have it very hard to find women that consciously want to give their creations, those that do give us a gift with love. I have someone I love and who knows maybe someday I will  find a women that will give us the gift of a child made from our own seed. I must say I am conflicted because I kind of feel many kids remain without homes, it would be nice for us to be able to help them as well as our desire to populate the world. But some possibilities for now are not options.

The battle for marriage equality in LA CONTINUES

Sunday, January 10th, 2010

The Washington Post Reports

LOS ANGELES — After a run of setbacks at the state level, gay rights advocates will take the campaign for same-sex marriage into a federal courtroom on Monday, starting down a treacherous avenue that ends at a U.S. Supreme Court dominated by conservatives.

“It’s a high-stakes poker move, no doubt about that,” said Jane Schacter, a professor of constitutional law at Stanford University. “I think the calculation for a long time has been that it’s hard to count five votes in favor of same-sex marriage on the current Supreme Court.”

Two couples are asking Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn R. Walker to rule that same-sex marriage is a right embedded in the Constitution, and that it was violated last year when California voters passed a ballot measure confining matrimony to members of the opposite sex.

In the San Francisco courtroom, however, the spotlight is not on the gay male or lesbian pair, but on the odd couple representing both: Theodore B. Olson, a conservative Republican, and David Boies, a famed Read more………..
