According to some LAPD officers, “a gay man can’t be raped”. Sign the petition to get an apology for James, gay men, and all rape victims.
On August 31, 2009 James Hornik was raped by another male in Hollywood, California. Mr. Hornik found himself in great need of police assistance and called on the LAPD, trusting that they would help him in his sudden ...

Interesting.
Reblogging this to read later.
So I thought this was going to be interesting, but instead it’s filled with cringe-worthy (i.e. othering and misgendering) wording (“typical females” vs....

“The National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs released its annual report on hate violence motivated by sexual orientation, gender identity and expression and HIV status last week. The report documents 27 anti-LGBT murders in 2010, which is the second highest annual total recorded since 1996. 70 percent of these 27 victims were people of color; 44 percent of...

Also, lol wtf, racism against non-gingers. Learn what words mean. It would’ve been kind of nice if you’d defended your girlfriend against her parents’ ableism first and not said it as an afterthought. Other than that, I was surprisingly not as mad as I thought I’d be.
And is it me, or is every episode apparently “the best episode ever”? ‘Cause...

slutwalknyc:
Justin Adkins, a trans man, was arrested at the protest on the Brooklyn bridge on Saturday. He was repeatedly mispronounced after identifying himself as transgender, asked about his genitals, had his genital region patted down anyway, was moved from the cell with the guys he had been arrested with (where he asked to remain) into a cell with around eight men he didn’t know who were...

So before I get into this post, I do want to put the warning out there that this does contain some discussion on sex as the title would suggest.
A bit of back story: I identify as a queer, desi (identifies with the South Asian diaspora) lady folk who has lived in Australia for a massive portion of her life. This means I’ve spoken the main language as fluently as I...

If a little bit of a wait inconveniences you, go get private health insurance. I’m pretty...

Spread the word! →
brittanymcmillan:
Wear purple on Thursday, October 20th, 2011. Stand up to homophobic bullying. Support your LGBTQ friends, family members and co-workers. And mourn the lives lost in our battle for equality.
Excuse me, but if you’re not going to stand up against cissexist bullying, stop dragging the T behind your LGB.

I hate everything about Will and him singing Fix You (probably to Emma, and that is just not something I think I can take without exploding into rage) and Quinn’s storyline (why the fuck should it matter how she looks? Why would any of the people who’re concerned for her mention her appearance?) and the whole “if half your chromosomes are mine, I’m your parent” crap...

Gaga meets with Obama about bullying →
gaywrites:
On Sunday night, Lady Gaga attended a fundraiser with President Obama and discussed LGBT bullying and teen suicides with him and his staff. Earlier she pledged she would meet with Obama to talk about Jamey Rodemeyer, the most recent in a yearlong string of bullying-related suicides.
From the Advocate:
During a question-and-answer session after the president spoke, Gaga thanked...

TW for sexism.
So he was introducing the topic of correlation and started to give a couple of examples and asked us whether their relation was positive or negative (like, the more you buy, the more you spend—>positive relation). And then he went “the more a boyfriend hits his girlfriend, the more she loves him,” so the student said the relation was positive since both...

Feminist Review of The Lion King Since someone asked me to ;) I’m going to try out doing a rating system and see how it goes.
Overall FeministDisney Rating: **, 2/4 stars (see bottom for specific categories that feed into this)
So the Lion King is an interesting movie to pick apart. I think when it comes to anthropomorphized casts, it’s almost more difficult, at first, to...

Question: Will Quinn be meeting her daughter soon on Glee? —Cindy Ausiello: Considering the fact that Idina Menzel (a.k.a. the kid’s adoptive mother, Shelby) is returning for a major arc, I think it’s probably a safe bet that Quinn (and possibly baby daddy Puck) will cross paths with their daughter at some point. But the $1 million...

Born This Way, and Reborn That Way: why are we, in...
maishaparadox:
In the LGB and sometimes T and Q world, there is a rhetoric of identity stasis: I’ve always been this way. I was born gay and I will always be gay. It’s an understandable reaction to the dismissive phrase so often lobbed at us from the normative world: it’s just a phase.
It’s just a phase and its companions you’ll grow out of it and I felt the same way when I was your age are...

Lady Gaga. Just. Stop it.
Does anyone else feel this whole Jo Calderone thing is her being flippant with queer and trans* identity (I originally used appropriating, but realized her actions were different that from what I read about them) so she can piggy back on her audience based on her “radical activism”? I’m not sure that’s what it is or her intent or whatever...

Blaine Anderson is the epitome of a boy with a chip on his shoulder. He’s spoilt, selfish, and his perceived “homophobic” father is backed up by nothing but his insistence that his father wanting to work on a car with him is his way of telling him he’s not “manly” enough. His arrogance and rampant narcissism stemming from being a self-described “rockstar” at Dalton...

Another day, another trailer. This time, for John Carpenter’s upcoming The Ward (2011).
Not only does it seem to bring nothing new to the standard horror movie fare, it employs a plot device which now joins the ‘sassy black friend,’ ‘Manic Pixie Dream Girl,’ and ‘nagging prudish wife’ on my ever-growing shit list of tropes that I wish would disappear from films forever: the sexy...
