killing Sochi - Russian Homocaust

StonewallAGAIN has started posting a photo activism series in protest of the gay propaganda laws that Russia enacted in the summer of 2013.

The photo expose can be viewed by the groups Facebook page.  It shows emotions associated with being forced into the closet.

The gay propaganda laws should have disqualified them from hosting the 2014 Olympic games based on Chapter 4 of the Olympic charter which states that no one is to be discriminated against.  The Olympic sponsors and IOC did nothing to change the location of these games.  These Olympic sponsors should be held accountable.  The true spirit of the games is apparently cash.

As the games close today, these lasting images will still be out there as a reminder that we need to help rescue Russian LGBT from genocidal violence they are subjected to.

Arizona: You're Screwed

Whether Governor Jan Brewer signs the religious anti-gay bill into law or not, Arizona has pointed a loaded gun at the LGBT community.
No need to travel to that state for business or leisure.  They already hung a sign that states "We Hate Gays".  They made this very clear.
The only thing going to fix this disaster is to vote out all these bigots and burn that bitch governor at the stake.  Like the witch she truly is.  The fact that she even has to look at this bill before she makes up her mind, says a lot about the type of environment the LGBT community is exposed to in Arizona.

Their hate towards the gays is going to be their undoing.  Their actions only prove further that LGBT relationships need protections against homophobic legislators like this group of haters.  Just like the venom spewed by Scalia, ultimately his own hateful words were turned against him.  This will be the same scenario.

What these numbskulls further fail to recognize is they are imposing discrimination on American citizens.  People who pay for their salary.  Being forced to pay for imposed discrimination should be brought to light.  These legislators should be sued for malpractice.

These sick legislators should now be worried about self inflicted discrimination.  If I were LGBT living in Arizona, I would take every opportunity to refuse services to these people and the sick governor.

If Jan signs this into law, we need to work on killing their Superbowl plans and work on moving the Grand Canyon to Colorado address.  We will also work to assist major companies in relocating out of that state or face sanctions.

Never Forget.  Never Forgive.

Utah: Government Sponsored Discrimination

How does it feel to live in a place where the Governor and State openly hates you?
Do you want to know who is truly behind the high suicide rates of gay teens in places like Utah?  The state and the people who run it.

There is nothing like siting a 10 year old vote on a ban in which the countries attitude has shifted.  Where your own Governor stands before a nation and degrades you, your relationship and your family.  The state attorney general promoting homophobia sending hate mail to the Supreme Court that your an "affront" to the entire state and its citizens.

It has to be painful to wake up and pay taxes in a state that pays the salaries of this governmental hate group and the church that runs it.

I wonder how the Mormon Church, Governor Gary Herbert, or Attorney General Reyes would feel if they woke up and their marriages were expendable at the discretion of the general public. That every Mormon union was an AFFRONT to the state and all its citizens.  That Governor Herbert woke up to be an abomination because of his family.

Isn't the Mormon Church loosely affiliated with Christianity?  I think so.  Isn't there some thing about "love thy brother" and "treat others how you want to be treated"?

Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.  Governor Herbert, AG Reyes and the Mormon Church following Hitler in history by maintaining power by publicly repressing a minority group.  This corrupt self empowerment will lead to their painful, catastrophic end.  For even the Catholic Church has realized that they will cease to exist if it didn't do a redirect.

History repeated in Utah.  Very similar to the Spanish Inquisition and it took the GOVERNMENT to take down the tyrannical religious zealots and restore order.

Utah follows in the dark side of history.  The internet forever recording and displaying the names of the people who would use their own government to repress them.  Governor Herbert, Attorney General Reyes and the Mormon Church.  R.I.P.

Picture from blog about a Utah road sign.  Why would anyone want to visit there?

Mainstreaming Bisexuals

Brother Michael is StonewallAGAIN's bisexual liaison.  Wonderful person who is continuously educating me on the world of the bisexual.

I can never fully understand what it would feel like to be attracted to both sexes.  While I was married to a woman for 13 years and had two children with this woman, I never was really sexually attracted to her.  It was more of a forced situation that came with the whole package of being married.

Brother Michael talks about biphobia and bisexual erasure frequently in blogs.  I understand a little more each time.

Apparently, someone else has been looking to break through the bisexual barrier and put the B back in the LGBT.  They are doing it in a "Will & Grace" show style.  It is very subtle in it's approach.

It is the Syfy show "Lost Girl".  It is interesting show about a succubus.  She is attracted to both male character Dyson who is a wolf man type and contrasted against the beautiful doctor, Lauren.  As she tries to establish a long term relationship, the plot line twists and turns.  It identifies some of the stresses that a bisexual person would run into during relationships.

Another show less obvious on the bisexual television entry is "Don't Trust the Bitch in Apartment 23".  Party girl Chloe, well she is a slut.  I say that because she is frequently referred to as a slut.  This character easily moves from men to women to another woman to men, sometimes many times in one episode.  Pitted against a pure-hearted roommate, June, it is comedy "Three's Company" style.  This is more tongue in cheek comedy and less obvious than "Lost Girl" on the bisexual story line, but you can see that she is comfortable with both sexes in bed.

Hopefully, we see more of these shows introduced.  It gets people to realize that the B is real.  That the B are loving people like all the rest of us.  We need to accept people for who we are regardless of who they love.

Utah Cuts Off Nose Over Gay Marriage

$2 million dollars
That is the money that the horrid state of Utah is going to dish out to stop people from getting federal benefits, promote homophobia and destroy any dignity they had left.
Seriously?  How many impoverished, hungry people could you feed and clothe for that $2 million dollars?

Who will be benefiting from the results of this fiscally irresponsible action?  Apparently, they had to find someone smart enough to represent this backwards state.  He is so stupid that he thinks defending an unconstitutional ban is "worthwhile". I would fire him right away for just being stupid.  Look around you!  The whole world is moving towards gay marriage.  Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes is going to go down in history like the captain of the Titanic!
If you see that Chris Christie had to throw in the towel, you would think that these homophobes would get a clue?
But I think we all know the real reason for this.  Once THIS ban is smashed, then all the other hateful bans on same sex marriage crumble....quickly.  Just like every other step in this battle, they try to draw it out.
Utah, pretend this is bandage and rip it off quickly!  The slower you pull off the bandage, the more it will hurt.
I thought this was a red state.  Don't they stand for fiscal responsibility?  I guess that a hateful bigoted homophobic agenda supersedes this.
Wake up and smell the fuchsia, it is over!

Oberweis and Dillard Align with Hate Groups

On October 23, 2013 Jim Oberweis and Kirk Dillard have chosen to join the forces of evil when they aligned themselves with the hate group known as the Illinois Family Instititute.
As they claim to be "pro-family" they are really nothing more than a spin off of the Ku Klux Klan.  Why would someone running for United States Senate seat that is currently held by very popular Dick Durbin or Dillard trying to run for Governor hook up with the Illinois Family Institute cult?
We believe, it is because it is easier to motivate people through fear, distortions and intimidation than to inspire people with positive, honest engagement.
It is cheaper to use hate over truth.
Just look at what IFI cult has been able to do year after year.  David E Smith makes quite a lot of money promoting hate as cult leader of the IFI.  It's cheap and easy.  Pretty much like the medicine men of the 1800's.
Watching the boring and painful YouTube video.  He addresses the fact that he said things that people don't approve of, but won't go into details.
Details like he hates gays.  Got Brady kicked out of GOP majority leader because he backed gay marriage.  Or the fact that he hates immigrants.  As in his flying over Soldier Field ad.  "Illegal aliens are coming to take your jobs" scare tactic.
Dillard?  No one wants to back him. Sun Times article talks about his fund raising ability....or at they put it, he doesn't have any.
Pretty sure that Oberweis is going to go down like a lead balloon when everyone else figures out that he is worthless, hateful bigot.
When you pick sides with a hate group like Illinois Family Institute, you get what you give.  If you are focused on negative bigoted, narrow-minded ways, there is not much room for you to expand your voting audience to.  Certainly, gays and latinos are not going to vote for Oberweis or Dillard, no matter how much ice cream you shove in their faces.

Hitler Started with the Gays

"Hitler started with the gays."
If you want to see how the holocaust started, look to modern day Russia.
Homophobia of an entire nation.

Why are the winter Olympics allowed to continue there?

After watching the video how could you not imagine 1930's in Nazi Germany?  This is 2013 and the international community is doing just about the same thing now that they did then.....NOTHING!

It is true that protests are happening in Europe and in the States.  President Obama has blown off Putin to talk with LGBTQ in Russia.  Yet the violence and arrests continue.

With the opportunity to avert the disastrous Sochi Winter Olympics, McDonald's and Coca-Cola are keeping their heads down.  Way down.  They started to spout how they are diverse, but it is just lip service as they continued to feed money into Russia for these HOMOPHOBIC Olympics.  Instead of finding another venue, they kept serving up there part in the HOMOCAUST, one Happy Meal at a time.

So, we are going to move forward with the Russian Hitler Olympics of 2014?  Ok, then the Sponsors are the only ones that WE THE PEOPLE will hold accountable.  McDonald's, there is Burger King or any other number of places I can buy lunch.  Coke, turns to Pepsi.  I have forgotten Coke Zero already for Diet Mt Dew.  YOU WILL BE REPLACED.

Olympic sponsors are guilty of paying for the genocide of the LGBTQ community in Russia.

Since money supercedes the Olympic charter, apparently due to the clause about people competing without discrimination (Olympic charter #4) then you can feel the lack of money from people NOT buying your products. You had the opportunity to be a hero, you will soon become a huge villain.

One last thing to the Sochi Winter Olympic sponsors, LGBTQ blood is on YOUR hands everyday these laws are in place.  Just like the signs at the concentration camps clearly state:  WE WILL NOT FORGET.  LGBTQ will add that we will NOT FORGIVE to that when Russia builds new concentration camps with Golden Arches and Enjoy Coke where Arbeit Mach Frei once stood.

DEMOCRATS: Pass the DAMN bill or kiss some LGBT ASS AS WE WALK AWAY

READ MY LIPS: PASS SB 10 NOW OR ELSE WE (LGBTQ PEOPLE) IN ILLINOIS WILL SEEK VENGEANCE AS YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN AT THE POLLS BEFORE!

If you are a DEMOCRAT and are not a solid YES vote, hold on for the mother of all spankings as the LGBTQ community will DUMP your sorry ass!!!!

Stupid bitches like Kate Cloonen, WATCH OUT!  We the people are supporting Glen Nixon, a Republican.  You can have your religious beliefs, but don't shove them down everyone else's throats.  Randall Krause has done an amazing job of working with the Republican when his Democratic representative went Sarah Palin from the Democratic party line.

Cloonen, if you are not aware, gay marriage is part of the Democratic platform.  Get with the fucking program or WE WILL KICK YOU OUT.

Michael Madigan, WTF?  What kind of LEADER are you that you have allowed this fucking train wreck to continue on for so long?  How many LGBTQ families have suffered under your game here?  Really?  How are you going to compensate all the couples who are put into a situation like Vernita Gray described during her direct speech at the March on Springfield.  Oh, btw Mikey, where the fuck were you?  Your daughter has bigger balls showing up and saying she supports it.  I hear second hand that you support marriage equality.  But actions speak louder than words.  Just like your noted absence from the March has been discussed, so too has been your inability to get this bill passed.  Shame the FUCK on YOU!

Greg Harris is not the type of leader to handle a bill like this.  He is a silly SideTracks queen.  Really?  What does he have at stake in this?  Funny, just look like he is kissing more Democratic asses for his own political career than actually doing something monumental for the gay community.  FUCK YOU!

All in all, the LGBTQ community is taking names and will be making things right through the power of the ballot box.  Do you really want to be responsible for the continued bullshit drama that the LGBTQ families are exposed to everyday that marriage is not equal in the state of Illinois?  FUCKING DO YOUR JOBS AND PASS SB 10 RIGHT NOW!!!!

IFI : the cult

Today, things like CULTS are something that you see only in the movies or in remote locations like Waco, Texas.
You would never think that a cult could be in your own backyard.  Guess what, they could be right next door.  The people look just like everyone else.
Until you talk to them.  Then you can clearly see that something is off with these people.
Illinois Family Institute is a cult according to the definition of cult found in Google.
Let's dissect this a bit.

"a system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object"
They quote the bible and say they are devout to Jesus, however they show no love for their fellow man.  In fact, their agenda is the eradication of homosexuality through conversion therapy.  This is clearly and proudly displayed on their website.  Another figure is David E Smith, the Executive Director of this hate group.  The groups that we have run across have a strange sense of servitude to this leader.  It is a weird incestuous vibe when you are around them.

"a relatively small group of people having religious beliefs or practices regarded by others as strange or sinister" 
How much more sinister could you be than to want to wipe out another group of people for the sake of your God.  They are not worshiping God, more like Satan when you are consumed with so much hate for others.  October 23, 2013 at a Prayer Rally for Defense of Marriage, one of the people approached our protest group and spouted his love for us and we have been injured.  He also said something that really nails this group as a hate group.  His exact recorded words were that "Mohammed was a pedophile".  This isn't about religion or love or sanctity of marriage, it was a KKK rally as a passerby stated.  This sick logic plays into a couple other items that are classic CULT red flags.

"a misplaced or excessive admiration for a particular person or thing"

Again, the strange interpretation of Jesus and the bible as the law of the land.  They think that American law is all based on the bible.  In fact they claim that God defines marriage.  Everyone else with a brain knows that marriage is defined by the state.  That the Constitution is the basis for all laws, not the bible.  Separation of Church and State is clear.  Our founding fathers fled to escape the Church the England.  Today, we are facing the modern day version in trying to be free from these cults and not have laws influenced by these cults imposed upon us all.

In an article HOW TO IDENTIFY A CULT in the Christian Courier, there are even more checklist items for identifying a cult.

#3 The leader “is preoccupied with [raising] money.” There is always a need for increasing finances. New projects are ever in the planning. Members are strongly encouraged to greatly sacrifice for the leader’s current pet enterprise. There is little pressure let-up; members of the group must be kept revved up on a continual basis.

If you look at the IFI website, it is all about the money.  There is always a fund raiser on their website with yet another hateful speaker.  David E Smith doesn't even deny the fact that he is living off the money that he generates from seeding hate in small children.  At one of their recent fundraisers which was a walk-a-thon of hate, David was confronted by us with a sign showing his tax return and $85k he took as payment from the IFI coiffures.  David said that he could go work in the private sector, but did this full time.  When he was confronted to walk away from the cash in order for people to believe that he wasn't doing it just for the money, he just walked away.

#4 Polarized mentality, also known as us versus them.  

This is really evident.  They have all kinds of kooks in this group claiming some religious affiliations to skate out of paying taxes.  With IFI, the THEM is the gays, the Muslims and the democrats.  Plain and simple.  The March on Springfield for Marriage Equality drew all the right political people: the Governor, many of the legislator from both sides of the isle, the state attorney general.  IFI drew the politicians that no one pays attention to or are interested in.   Like Oberweis and Dillard.  Two delusionalists with big dreams and no way to make them come true.  Holding on to the IFI are only going to suck them into oblivion.  In a manner similar to Augustus Gloop in Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.  Slllllllurp!

#5 Leader clearly anti-authoritarian disposition.  That has David E Smith written all over it.  He is one of these big government conspiry theory guys.  Obama is a muslim nonsense.  The bible is the governing document, not the constitution.  Interpretted and twisted into a mangled ball of sick Nazi nonsensical crap that only makes sense to the idiot brainwashed tribe that follows him.

 In short, there is not a single thing that the Illinois Family Institute does that is not a cult related activity.  Any politician that aligns themselves with this group are going to be swirling in the political toilet when marriage equality is passed in Illinois.  Tick tock, the time is upon us for marriage equality in Illinois.  What is David E Smith going to do for a living when the Gay Marriage Monster has taken over?  Get a real job.  Preaching the real word of God or follow the Satanic path he is already on and killing his flock Jim Jones style in our Midwestern state.  To be honest, who cares what happens to these bigoted people?

  

The March On Springfield: What's Next?

Veni, Vidi, Vici translates to We Came, We Saw and We Kicked Ass!

Tracy Baim, co-founder of the Windy City Media Group came to all those distressed this summer with the idea of the March.  She stayed the course and the vision came to life bigger and better than anyone expected.  Even with the rain.

One of the performers said that it wasn't raining, "it was rainbowing".  It was this type of positive energy that could be felt and was contagious throughout the crowd that was estimated over 3000 strong.

The right politicians were showing up to this historical event.  The Governor, the SB 10 bill sponsors, Attorney General and even Dick Durbin.

Lurking in the shadows and trying to mix in where creepers from the Illinois Family Institute, such as villainous David Norck.  Recording the event to come up with strategy on how to counter act logic and reason with moronic religious bullshit and lies that IFI is notorious for. 

This March was a class production.  Tracy and the cosponsors covered the gamete of the LGBTQS community.  Including many of the credible religous community.  Who truly preach that Love is Love.  Just like Jesus would have done 2000 years.

March around the capitol was just as inspiring.  People in office buildings across from the Capitol held up Pride flags and waved in excitement.

Chants like "Harris and Madigan, Don't make us sad again" could be heard far down the block and probably in the Capitol proper.

Notably missing from the entire event, Mike Madigan.  Really?  His daughter, Lisa, has bigger balls than he does.  Hey Mike, do your fucking job and pass this bill.  Your lips are moving that you support this, now put some action behind it to make it happen.  Lip service equates to lies when you don't even try.  GLN did a banner unfurl and whistle blow in the rotunda outside Madigan's office.  Remained inside his office.  No response.  Typical behavior of "No Show Mike".

What is next?  Demonstrations and protests through out the state.  Mainly people like Madigan, obviously.  New target is Oberweis.  Who sided with the reprobate IFI on the wrong side of history.

Jim Oberweis announced that he would be running against Dick Durbin for his senate seat.  I don't know who to laugh harder at, Oberweis or Dillard running for Governor.

Oberweis has a horrid record on immigrants and LGBTQ communities.  He is a huge blimp of a man who should consider losing a couple pounds so that Macy's doesn't think that one of their floats drifted away.

Isn't funny that homophobic men such as Oberweis, Chris Christie and David E Smith suffer from the sin of gluttony?

People should be calling their reps and schedule an appointment to meet them.  Tell them to pass this bill now!  If your rep refuses, gather a group to demonstrate at their office.  It freaks the bajesus out of them.  Make sure you tell them that LGBTQ community will run our own candidate against them that uses the constitution and not the bible to make laws.

If in doubt on how to protest, call or email us.  We would be happy to assist. :)

Barilla and homophobic Russian Olympics

Everyone should look REALLY hard at the response the worldwide boycott has had on pasta giant Barilla. Guido Barilla near tears apologizing for his homophobic words.  "If gays don't like it, they can eat another pasta.". Not very good marketing strategy.
This whole incident should be labelled 'The Barilla Syndrome'.
This is what the sponsors of the Sochi Russia winter Olympics should be feeling.
When the Olympic sponsors are crying because they are boycotted, then and only then will the International Olympic Committee move these games.
McDonalds released today their new healthier menu.  Boycott it!  Coca Cola, Boycott it!  Samsung is releasing a new watch computer gizmo.  Boycott it!
Let them know any LGBTQ suffrage means we all suffer.
The IOC shows their hypocritical colors in turning a blind eye to their own charter.  Specifically section about nondiscrimination.
The end result is one incident, will ricochet around the world like an Italian homophobe blathering his hateful words.
However, chances are, a Russian incident will likely include bloodshed.  Olympic committee striping athletes medals because they are expressing who they are as people will be turned into a "political" statement.

Who does the Olympic committee think they are fooling at this point?  Let's face it, this is about cash and not Olympic spirit.
If it has Olympic rings on it stay away.  It doesn't look any better for the sponsors.
Does McDonald's want to end up with Coca Cola in Barilla-land right now?  We need to push on these Olympic sponsors in the same manner that everyone did with Barilla.
Everyday that a LGBTQ person has to remain silent because of legislation, is another day that the whole world suffers.

McHomocaust: Russia the Fourth Reich

September 15, 1935
Nuremberg, Germany
Persecution Begins

• On April 1, 1933, the Nazis instigated their first action against German Jews by announcing a boycott of all Jewish-run businesses.
• The Nuremberg Laws, issued on September 15, 1935, began to exclude Jews from public life. The Nuremberg Laws included a law that stripped German Jews of their citizenship and a law that prohibited marriages and extramarital sex between Jews and Germans. The Nuremberg Laws set the legal precedent for further anti-Jewish legislation.
• Nazis then issued additional anti-Jews laws over the next several years. For example, some of these laws excluded Jews from places like parks, fired them from civil service jobs (i.e. government jobs), made Jews register their property, and prevented Jewish doctors from working on anyone other than Jewish patients.

Honestly, how can anyone not see what is happening here?

Are corporations like McDonald's who are sponsoring the Sochi Winter Olympic games that stupid to see that the gains that they are making for this one event could potentially and forever scar their business?

Tragedies at Olympic events are forever recorded in history.  What is to prevent a Munich Massacre?  Those where the murdering terrorist games.  What about the Atlanta Games?  No one remembers a damned thing about those games except there was a bomb!

With people running through the streets smashing faces in if you are even suspected of being LGBT, you want to kill ALL your business when you have the opportunity to do the right thing now?  Be the HERO and not the VILLAIN!  Ask your marketing people which is better.

LGBT has already started to actively avoid your products.  We are a tight community and will not tolerate this.  In your press release you use the key words such as diversity.  When you use the words and they have no action behind them, it's called lip service.  You are essentially lying to avoid dealing with the problem head on. 

We call bullshit on your response.  McDonald's is quite capable of saying that these actions taken by the Russian government do not comply with the image that McDonald's represents and will withhold any further funding of these Olympics under breach of contract.  Breach of contract due to they no longer qualify.

Olympic Charter #4:(takes time to load)

The practice of sport is a human right. Every individual must have the possibility of

practicing sport, without discrimination of any kind and in the Olympic spirit, which

requires mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play.

So, we ask again, DO YOU WANT TO RUIN YOUR BUSINESS OR BE A HERO?

Walk away and set up another venue in a location for all to participate "WITHOUT DISCRIMINATION OF ANY KIND" as the charter states.  Bring the other sponsors with you.  It will be a WIN WIN scenario.

We the People: Move the 2014 Winter Olympic Games from Russia

We the People will NOT acknowledge, listen to or view the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympic Games.

We the People will NOT purchase products or services from corporations or organizations that SPONSOR these games.  Giving money to said sponsors is condoning and accepting the slaughter of the LGBT community through legislative genocide.  Sponsors are going to be forever associated with the Second Holocaust.

We the People will NOT buy, view or acknowledge any products with the Olympic symbol attached on the product or its packaging.

We the People WILL hold Olympic Committee and ALL Sponsor responsible for anything that happens to ANY citizen during your Holocaust Olympics.

We the People WILL continue to have our voices heard through worldwide demonstration that HUMAN RIGHTS are more important than CORPORATE GREED.

We the People WILL NOT LET THIS GO.  THIS WILL NOT DISAPPEAR.  MOVE THE GAMES AND SEND A MESSAGE THAT HUMAN LIFE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN HOMOPHOBIC POWER DOMINATION.

WE THE PEOPLE SAY IT'S TIME FOR EVERYONE TO DO THE RIGHT THING THIS TIME AND STOP THIS HOLOCAUST!

Russia is the new Nazi Germany: HOLOCAUST Part 2

History repeats.  Isn't it ironic that only the bad history repeats.  That is because it is easier to do hateful things to each other than to fight against greed, power and religious fanatics and repeat the good things that happened in our world.

Genocide of our LGBT brothers and sisters in Russia has started.  Laws to eradicate the LGBT community from the public eye through legislation are exactly like those implemented September 15, 1935 in Nuremberg  Germany.  Laws that essentially erased Jews from Germany.

The anti "gay propaganda" laws that Russia is imposing on it's people are now moving to the second phase.  Raiding homes of its LGBT citizens.  Instilling fear to push people back into the closet.  Forcing loved ones to be separated by intimidation that they could be violently attacked or imprisoned because they are who they are.

Corporations like McDonald's and Coca-Cola are using words that they believe in diversity and welcome the LGBT community into their organizations.  However talk is cheap.  They are using words with no spirit or true meaning behind them to support their use.  For if they truly RESPECTED the essential meaning of what diversity embodies, they would not continue to support the winter Olympics in Sochi Russia.  They are only funding this hatred through turning a blind eye to what the world is out-crying.

Bars across the globe are pouring Stoli in the streets.  In America, we should be doing the same with Coca-Cola.  Massive demonstrations with smashing Big Macs and dumping Coke Zero in front of NBC. 

Burning Olympic flags would completely be appropriate.  They have the opportunity to make things right, RIGHT NOW.  It should be clear to EVERYONE that Russia no longer qualifies as an appropriate venue for these games.  This is why we do not hold these games in places like Iran or Uganda.  It's time to wake up and really look at what the Olympics have become.  They have clearly drifted away from competition between people to a corporate venue to make volumes of money.  Like a whore, the games go to the highest bidder.

About.com has a great article on the timeline of the holocaust.  Is this an outline for what is about to happen again?  We have the opportunity to stop this now.  To not support corporations that support this through sponsorship.

Below is an excerpt from About.com article.

Persecution Begins

• On April 1, 1933, the Nazis instigated their first action against German Jews by announcing a boycott of all Jewish-run businesses.
• The Nuremberg Laws, issued on September 15, 1935, began to exclude Jews from public life. The Nuremberg Laws included a law that stripped German Jews of their citizenship and a law that prohibited marriages and extramarital sex between Jews and Germans.

• During the night of November 9-10, 1938, Nazis incited a pogrom against Jews in Austria and Germany in what has been termed, "Kristallnacht" ("Night of Broken Glass"). This night of violence included the pillaging and burning of synagogues, breaking the windows of Jewish-owned businesses, the looting of these stores, and many Jews were physically attacked. Also, approximately 30,000 Jews were arrested and sent to concentration camps.
• After World War II started in 1939, the Nazis began ordering Jews to wear a yellow Star of David on their clothing so that Jews could be easily recognized and targeted.

Gay Propaganda Laws are an American Invention

Unfortunately, the 'gay propaganda' laws instituted in homophobic Russia were inked here in the United States.

Land of the free is also home to the bigoted, narrow minded moron who bases things on fantasy rather than fact.

In this 2006 Yahoo article, one can clearly see that what was written here, clearly was the basis for what would turn out to be genocide of the Russian LGBT community.

http://voices.yahoo.com/gay-propaganda-deception-start-finish-77642.html

This sick person, K. B. Napier, spews a filthy story about deception that the gay community has spun on society.  Heterophobic is how this ass tries to spin this depraved story of LGBT rise to equality and acceptance by society.

This is certainly a frightening case of life imitating art.  This is a horrible reality drawn from this article.
Without a doubt, this 2006 article is the 'Mein Kampf' of our era.  Putin should be doing a Siche Heil to his inspiration Mr. Napier.

We can only hope that the ending of this reign of terror is short and ends with bullets in the head of Putin and Napier.

McDonald's and Coca Cola: SPONSORS OF VIOLENCE ON LGBT

The next time you are buying that Big Mac with a large Diet Coke, ask yourself if it's worth it?  When LGBT are being brutally assaulted without punishment for just being themselves, Americans are funneling their money to fuel this behavior.  The YouTube video link below is a sampling of what McDonald's apparently feels is part of "diversity" in their statement with regards to Sochi Winter Games.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59WCKaKqjKY
As a gay man that was tortured all through my adolescent years,  this brings back memories I want to forget. Daily ass kickings from homophobes.
Many of the LGBT community have experienced this type of attack.  This is NOT diversity, this is NOT tolerance.  What this is, UNACCEPTABLE HOMOPHOBIC VIOLENCE!
McDonald's, Samsung, Coca Cola, NBC, Dow: message from the LGBT community is simple FUCK YOU if you think we are going to continue to buy your products.  FUCK YOU if you think we would buy ANYTHING associated with these Olympic Games in Sochi.  FUCK YOU if you think we would watch these HOMOPHOBIC DONT ASK DONT TELL Games.  FUCK YOU if you think that we would ever return to you as a customer.
Here is your golden opportunity to make things right.  MOVE THE GAMES.  This is NOT going to go away.  WE WILL NOT FORGET THIS!!!!
There is a Burger King down the street.  Mountain Dew and Pepsi right next to that Coke Zero.  I would watch FOX NEWS over anything on NBC, on principle alone.
What is in this and many more videos of our community publicly genocide is OUTRAGEOUS!
Sochi Olympic Sponsors, wake the fuck up or lose our business!!!!  AND FUCK YOU!!!

McDonald's Sochi Sponsor: Golden Arches or Golden Showers?

How big does the rock have to be to hit McDonald's in the proverbial head to realize, "Bad is BAD and good is GOOD"

One would think that they have mastered the art of marketing.  With slogans like "I'm Lovin It" swirling in the toilet, no slogan or jingle is going to pull them out of this one way luge to the septic tank.

The only thing that they are going to do is to pressure the International Olympic Committee to find another venue.

Look, we all realize that Russia breached the contract that qualified them for hosting the games when they enacted the 'gay propaganda' laws.  Laws with criminalize publicly and openly being LGBT.  Kissing in public or holding hands in a restaurant for same sex couples can land you in jail with a heavy fine.  You can be gay, you just need to be in the closet.  Not like that doesn't generate its own issues.

So this state sponsored genocide continues to be enforced on anyone attending the winter games in Sochi.  McDonald's, grab a bigger rock because THERE IS GOING TO BE PUBLIC OPPOSITION TO THIS AT THE GAMES.  Six months out from the games and we have Russian athletes making profound gestures.

Here is where McDonald's walking away from these games and moving them or even running off with the other sponsors to host their own games, will make a financial killing.....forever.  McDonald's could be the leader of the pack on behalf of humanity to say and genuinely mean that they will not sponsor this homophobia.  Can you imagine the loyalty from the LGBT community?  The eternal goodwill that would be accomplished by such a beloved and influential American icon would be unfathomable.  They would definitely look like heros.

The contrary will definitely lose the respect and business of the LGBT community.  We will be singing "Have It Your Way" when ordering flame broiled burgers.  People will opt for granola bars over chicken nuggets while traveling until they can find a respectable vendor.  Many have started cutting McDonald's and Coca-Cola out and replacing with KFC and Pepsi.

So when the stuff hits the fan in Russia....which it will, get ready to run.  We will be on your door step with hundreds of pride flags and banners, wanting our pound of flesh.  Everyday that these games are continuing to be sponsored in Russia, is another missed opportunity to be the hero in all this.

Depeche Mode's People are People says it best.  'I can't understand, what makes a man.  Hates another man.  Help me understand.'

Olympic Sponsors of the Second Holocaust

Corporations are in damage control mode right now.  Many of these sponsors have, in the past had a great or excellent reputation for supporting LGBT and equality.  Now with millions about to be slung into a promotional nightmare, these companies are being pressured to do the right thing.

The holocaust began with rounding up the Jews, the homosexuals, the political dissidents and jailing them because they were being who they are.  Others who escaped, where pretending to be what they were not in order to just survive.

Sound hauntingly familiar?  LGBT people are being told that they cannot be whom they are.  They need to hide it.  Any public display of being gay or affectionate to the same sex, results in being jailed.

How much longer do we wait until the "ethnic cleansing" begins?  What method will they use to dispose of all this carnage?

Genocide has already begun.  The total eradication of a race of people because they are who the are.  Through legislation, the LGBT community no longer exists in Russia.  This is legislative induced GENOCIDE.

These sponsors have an obligation to HUMANITY to pressure the International Olympic Committee to do the right thing.  We cannot let these games move forward in Sochi.  They must find a new location that will allow everyone attending the games to be who they are.  If Russia chooses not to participate, that is their loss.  If they do compete, then they will see that people are people.  Discrimination works both ways.  When you seek to empower yourself through the oppression of a minority, eventually humanity will prevail.

The vendors that support these games should worry greatly about the loyal customers they have now.  They will buy other products.  Everyone of these supporter of homophobic games has a comparable competition that is about to get a lot more wealthier if these games proceed in Russia.

Word to the wise.  It is always better to walk away from a bad situation and lose money invested, than to lose your entire loyal customer base to save what you invested.  You will more likely NEVER regain the trust of those you have deserted.

Try as you might by using key words like "diversity".  We are not buying it at this point.  Tolerance is NOT diversity!!!  ACTIONS speak louder than the words you are using.

MOVE THE GAMES NOW!

There IS a B and a T in LGBT. RECOGNIZE!

StonewallAGAIN: Our Time Has Come

When we look at where the LGBT community is today, we have to really thank the B and the T.  For if those founding drag queens hadn’t starting kicking off their heels and run into the night screaming, we would be in a similar situation to what our Russian brothers and sisters are currently in.  State imposed genocide.

Sochi Winter Olympic Games presents us with a unique scenario to reflect about where we are as a community.  This is a time for us to unite.  However, it is a time to us all to really reflect on WHO we are and HOW we treat each other in our own community.

When people talk about LGBT, they think Gay Gay Gay.  There are other letters in the acronym, but they fall silently away.  LGBT is more than young white underwear models with tight tuchus and pretty hair.  Sadly, that is what people see in their mind.  Or the opposite is true, dirty lecherous creeper in a raincoat flashing children.  In reality we know that we are not that.

That hidden in the Pride Flag rainbow there are different shades of Purple, Blue and Pink that represent the bisexual and transgendered people.  I think now is exactly the time for these colors to shine through.  I think that we need to have a conversation about who B and T are and why it is important to recognize them.

In the general population, people do not understand the gay community.  Obviously in Russia, they have no concept of diversity or recognizing individualized contribution that each person brings to their culture.  As we have seen and I have personally experienced, if you say you exist then people are aware.  I personally am out at work.  It doesn’t matter and no one cares.  If anything, people come up to me and ask me questions about my world.  They genuinely want to understand me and share in my life.

I think the Bi and Trans world are in a similar situation within the LGBT community.  No one understands them.  I know that I didn’t understand until I started to talk to and be around openly bisexual and transgender people.  They are real.  Once they became a real entity in my world, I could ask questions; hear what they did differently than me and what they were interested in.  We have lot of the same things in common.

So as we face this great tradgity in our community about Russian oppression, we need to reach out to help and help with understanding.  We need to make sure that we are reaching out to everyone in this community including the B and the T.  Just like in ’Blackhawk Down’, we leave no one behind.  Our outreach to these people needs to extend to ALL.  EVERYONE must learn to understand that it is more than just GAY people that are affected.  That each one of these letters in LGBT has special needs and respect.

When it comes to marriage equality, it is the same thing.  If we strip ourselves of our self imposed labeling, regardless of lesbian, intersex or bisexual, and simply calling our person as HUMAN.  You should be able to marry the HUMAN that you love regardless of anything else.  This should be important to all of us.  To share our lives with the HUMAN that we love.  Build a home and have children with the HUMAN that we love.  Practice the religious dogma with same said HUMAN.

We are here for a finite time.  We should all respect each other in a humane capacity.  Whatever the letter you should label yourself with, embrace it and identify with it.  Reach out to another letter when the opportunity comes and acknowledge that.  If you don’t know how to act around another letter, treat them like an H for HUMAN.  I’m sure it will go over great.
