Homophobia is “alive and well” in Chicago according to a gay 33-year-old Rogers Park man who was badly beaten as he rode the L in an alleged hate crime early Sunday.
Dan Hauff says he was bloodied on the CTA red line by three men who called him “stupid faggot” and punched him in the face after he tried to help a stranger they were picking on.
“I was just trying to stand up for somebody in trouble,” he said Sunday after being released from the hospital with bruises. Read more……..
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.

Rep. Christine Johnson, D-Salt Lake, who has a 17-year-old daughter
of her own with an ex-husband, is 16 weeks pregnant after have been inseminated with the sperm from one of the men, the Salt Lake Tribune reported Friday.
“I can very much empathize with their desire to become parents and share their lives with and open their hearts to a child. I’m immeasurably grateful to be a mother,” Johnson said.
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………..
Read the report on Election Defense Alliance, you must! If you actually care about the governing powers in our city you ought to know. Now if i had to humor myself and say you read the report I have this to ask you, do you think fraud was committed?
1. why does it state “It is beyond the scope of this study to know if any corruption was due to honest error or intentional fraud.” if that is the case no evidence of fraud!
2. why does the word corrupt make us feel uncomfortable?
Neil Patrick Harris, who I grew up knowing as Doogie Howser MD has been named ‘Gay Man Of the Decade’ by the viewers of AfterElton.com. He did only come out in 2006 though -- not quite a decade! Congratulations Neil!
