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.

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!!!!

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. :)

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. 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.
• 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.

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.'

StonewallAGAIN: Why We Are Here

StonewallAGAIN.com is a portal to bring open communication to LGBT community on events that you need to be involved in.

The only way we are going to get is equality is if everyone participates.  Otherwise, the bigoted hateful religious zealots are going to continually try pulling us back to the 1950s.

The drag queens of the Stonewall riots in June 1969 had ENOUGH of being harassed.  40 years later, we are still being harassed in the work place, when we want to get married, when we want to take care of the ones that we love in a hospital or when we want to have our children treated fairly.

WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH.  The LGBT community has kicked back and taken these slow painful steps to get equal.  We need to wrap this up and move on with our lives in a world free from harassment and bigotry.  We have been scapegoated by religious groups so that they can continue to villainize us for self empowerment.  When you listen to their biblical nonsense as to why we should be treated differently, their arguments fail.

The government has to use the constitution to govern the land, not the bible.  Where we see this being imposed we need to say no.  Not just a whimpering mousey little no, but a loud NO.  When that NO is not heard, then we must work to remove the people from that office so that our NO can be heard.  There are rules and laws that will assist us in cutting off funding for these hateful politicians.

This blog and website do not endorse the rioting that started our revolution.  In fact, through peaceful protest we can win hearts and minds and understanding.  This is the age of electing a President through the media on the internet.  We can leverage the same tools for equality.

We are just the same as everyone else.  We are human beings with hearts, love and relationships.  We have good days and bad days.  We are all Americans.  We ALL deserve and are entitled to equal protection under the law.

Lets start the Quiet Riot....NOW!
