On Saturday afternoon, 300 marchers in the first Croatian pride to be held in Split were being besieged by a crowd of 10,000 protesters, who eventually brought Split Pride to an end. Europe still has its dark places. more

The crazies are still out there - but you all knew that, anyway. Dr. George Rekers, who was a leading "ex-gay therapist" with NARTH before he got caught with someone he met on RentBoy.com, has ruined many lives. His experimental "therapy", dubbed the "sissy boy experiment", is still being cited as "proof" that homosexuality can be headed off. If you have time, do have a look at the video. Stay angry.

Condolences to Kirk Murphy's family who have recently discovered the cost of the treatment Kirk received in childhood.

Lemonade Mouth is a Disney Channel Original Movie about this band that a group of kinds form while in detention. I know that the minute you read it has something to do with Disney Channel, most of you will close this thread - you know, always the assumptions that DCOMs are childish bullshit about love filled with dumb songs. I would say that that's only High School Musical.

So, I haven't actually seen Lemonade Mouth yet, I'm doing that tonight. Everyone says the movie totally ROCKS because it is amazingly mature and focuses very little on love. It's mostly about being hear and expressing yourself and just...standing up and proud, you know. The soundtrack is beautiful! SO moving!

I just decided to make a thread about it. Here are a few of the most inspiring songs:

Quote:Homophobic attacks in London's Soho and the gay-friendly borough of Westminster increased last year, according to the Met Police.

New figures released by Scotland Yard revealed that anti-gay hate crime increased by 26 per cent, from 117 to 148 incidents, from April 2010 to April 2011.

Soho is famously regarded as the queer area of the capital.

The figure contradicts the capital's overall hate crime stats, which saw incidents fall by 0.1 per cent and total crime dropping 0.5 per cent across the 32 London boroughs.

This seems to be a recurring theme. I look forward to not reporting this one year.

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev may have fired Yury Luzhkov as mayor of Moscow, but Luzhkov's homophobic spirit lives on. While the rest of us were thinking of more positive activities for IDAHO this year Moscow was banning gay pride - crass timing. As ever the bold activist Nicolai Alekseev has vowed to appeal directly to the Kremlin and continue the struggle. I'm sure we all wish him and other human rights activists in Russia the very best.

So A little while back I watched "Mysterious Skin" and needless to say its now one of my favorite films. Its not for everyone I assure but for me it was heart wrenching in such a great way.

I would really like to find more movies of that caliber. Not nessisarily of the same plot basis but something that can make me feel like I did when I watched Mysterious Skin. I cried. I dont cry with movies.

So does anyone have any suggestions. Preferably something without female nudity. I want a great movie but Im not about to stab out my eyes for it

this movie was amazing
watched it on netflix






Paul and Eddie have just begun previews for the new Off-Broadway musical "Adam and Steve Just the Way God Made 'Em." Their lives strangely mirror the characters they are playing. Paul is looking for the perfect man and Eddie is dealing with how his sexuality and faith can mix. After yet another disastrous dating experience, Paul has an epiphany. He is done dating and just wants to be a slut like the sexy chorus boys that share his dressing room. Eddie has to tell his parents that he's gay and is starring in a show that calls the bible the "Breeder's Informational Book of Living Examples". Eddie comes out to his family and Paul goes on Manhunt. Eddie's parents are destroyed by the news and Paul can't even have a good one-night stand. But after musical numbers with scantly clad tap dancing angels, a retelling of Genesis, tele-evangelists, a camp that attempts to turn gay kids straight, and a bunch of showtunes, everyone realizes that life gets better once they accept who they really are. And they are just the way God made e'm


Anyone seen it? if so what did you think about it

Hi guys, so recently i got sick of all the stupid vampire movies and wanted something just a tad bit interesting. i came across a Sweden movie called 'Let the right one in' its pretty much about a young boy named oskar that falls in love with this girl named el, what he doesn't know about el is that she's a vampire, it goes more and more into the flim and he does find out, its very interesting and hollywood did a remake of it, i liked both of them to be honest, the hollywood one was pretty much gory, but sweden one was quite calm and less gory. so if you wanna see it i'm sure they have parts of it on youtube or somewhere its really interesting.

xx take care guys

Quote:Sixty-six Malaysian boys will spend this week at a camp undergoing physical education, religious classes and listening to motivational speakers. They've been hand-picked.

The director of the Terengganu Education Department told the New Straits Times their teachers had identified them as displaying feminine qualities.

The director Razali Daud told the newspaper he understands some people will end up as transvestites or homosexuals but says the state will do its best to limit the number.

Quote:In a statement, Shahrizat Abdul Jalil says being singled out in such a way would be extremely traumatising for teenagers and could have serious psychological repercussions. The Minister says the camp violates laws regarding children and must be abolished.

Sexual health workers worry it will drive more gay people in Malaysia underground.

Quote:A coalition of seven women's groups has realised a statement condemning the camp for promoting homophobia and breaching the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.

The Joint Action Group for Gender Equality says if the Terengganu state has a definition for what constitutes "normal" behaviour, then the criteria should be made public.
