News: 'Functional Cure,' Odawa, Winston-Salem, Marc
At least 7 Cincinnati City Council members pulled out of city's St. Patrick's Day parade because of the parade's decision to ban the gay education group GLSEN.
South, a 1959 ITV teleplay about a Polish soldier sent to the American south during the Civil War and starring tv star Peter Wyngarde, may be the first television program to feature an open discussion of gay attraction. "[Does he love] the plantation owner's angry niece, Miss Regina, or the tall, blond, rugged officer who arrives suddenly – a handsome man called Eric MacClure."
Awesome: "A church in Winston-Salem has announced it will stop performing all marriages until United Methodist pastors are allowed to officiate at marriages for same-sex couples."
The Odawa Indian tribe in Michigan legalized same-sex marriage and celebrated by uniting two men, Tim LaCroix and Gene Barfield, in marital bliss. The federal government, of course, will not recognize this lovely union or its historic significance.

"Faux fur" jackets Marc Jacobs' label sells at Century 21 are actually made of dog fur.

A run down of some of the politicians and other notable public figures who have reversed course and come out in favor of marriage equality.
The Boston Phoenix, an alt-weekly paper that has published since 1966, announced that it will close its doors. Susan Orlean, the New Yorker writer who got her start at the Boston Phoenix, told the Boston Globe, "It's like finding out your college has gone bankrupt and is gone. I am a
child of the alt-weekly world and I feel like it has played such an
important role in journalism as we know it today."
Here's a Facebook page encouraging you to change your Facebook profile picture to show you support marriage equality.
Research into how revive extinct creatures continues. So what will happen to the phrase "go the way of the dodo?"
Is fact action the key to slowing HIV's devastation? "Treating people with HIV rapidly after they have become infected with
the virus that causes Aids may be enough to achieve a 'functional cure'
in a small proportion of patients diagnosed early, according to
research."




Simiar to the Winston-Salem Methodist church, the Episcopal church near me (in California) stopped signing all marriage certifiates back in 2009 in protest to Prop H8 having been passed.
Here's their policy:

Good luck, Justin, on looking butch. It will take a lot of hard work on your part to achieve that.

I used to watch Peter Wyngarde in "Jason King" when I was a kid. I was lucky enough to find a boxed set of the series - it's the campest child of the 60s I've ever encountered.

If you can, try to listen to his rather extraordinary 1970 album "When Sex Leers Its Inquisitive Head."

Know "The Boston Phoenix" well. Used to read the gay personal ads as a teenager. Cheap thrill
We have "Grumpy Cat" Have to be careful or we'll have "Flaming Cat" next.
Loved Jessica Lange in "Francis" (no connection to the new Pope)

HIV does not cause AIDS. The pharmaceutical drugs firms sponsor a lot of this research into HIV because they want the results of that research to encourage the use of their drugs. It's a scam.

HIV denialists are so 1989.

Things happen for a reason! The Gold wheelchair or not, no more fur, even faux fur, for Gaga!
Was trying to come up with a sarcastic joke about a porn dog for Jacobs, but hell, I won't and can't go there!
Just another reason why I hate fashion designers in general!
(And what is that ice queen female dog Wintour in the news for? ;-P)

Oh, for Pete's sake... "Raccoon dogs" aren't dogs: they're a completely different genus. Calling them dogs is the same thing as calling foxes dogs.

Not for nothing, but regarding Justin, my grandma would say 'God love him'. This is the equivalent of the southern 'Bless your heart'.

WTF ?! DOG FUR ? Seriously ?

After two decades I recognize when the HIV-pushers are once again, LYING for drug company profits. Again.

I wonder if the ACLU will file a lawsuit on behalf of GLSEN,the way they did the student
bigot and his shirt in Conneticut? Of course not. Joke of an organization.

Justin Bieber, enjoy your youth while you can. You'll be all grown up and as butch as you can be all too soon enough.

@Rich F.
There is footage of Chinese workers skinning raccoon dogs alive for their fur. I highly doubt people who wear faux fur for ethical reasons will appreciate being misled into supporting that kind of cruelty, regardless of what type of animal it is.
