Is your phone spying on you? "This new generation of -user-friendly spy-phone software has become widely available in the last year—and it confers stunning powers. The latest programs can silently turn on handset microphones even when no call is being made, allowing a spy to listen to voices in a room halfway around the world. Targets are none the wiser: neither call logs nor phone bills show records of the secretly transmitted data."

The real reason the members of the Catholic Church in San Francisco are calling the Board of Sups Nazi's has little to do with Same sex adoptive parents as it does with the reality that the City Assessor Phil Ting is Taxing them for all the "nonprofit" properties they owe taxes on in the city which is $$$$Millions. Fuck the Catholic Church and their gang of "we want to play politics but don't want to pay taxes" bullshit! Time to pay up Morons(opps..Mormons) and other religious freaks. Nobody gives a fuck what the Vatican or the Pope have to say in San Francisco. So pay up or get the fuck out!

Model Justin Clynes is with Barbara Bush. He's gay.
Anti-gay bigotry is pervasive. Remember that. These mormons are dangerous. Boycott anything mormon.

I love Cyndi Lauper with all my heart, and I am honored that she puts such massive amounts of work into the struggle for equality. I just wish someone would set her straight on the pointlessness that is the HRC.
