My eye was caught by a couple of articles in The Guardian recently. The first is a report that despite progress in attitudes having been made, many gays and lesbians still frequently find themselves under attack.

Quote: Stonewall's own research shows that homophobic bullying is rife in schools (nine in 10 teachers say their pupils currently experience homophobic bullying and 65% of pupils report experiencing direct homophobic bullying), and research by the Equality Challenge Unit finds that 49.5% of students in higher education have been treated in a negative way because of their sexual orientation.

Homophobic bullying doesn't just stop at university. Stonewall's own University Guide shows that many universities still don't do enough to tackle homophobia on their campuses.

Progress should certainly be celebrated – but there's still some way to go before we can say universities are homophobia-free. more

Does anyone here like silent movies? They're not really my thing, but I just watched over 10 minutes of The Bell Boy (1918) and I pretty much like it so far. It's free and you can watch it here: The Bell Boy : Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle : Free Download & Streaming : Internet Archive It stars Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle and Buster Keaton.

One of the first silent movies I watched was The Gold Rush (1925) starring Charlie Chaplin. I watched this in a literature/movie course at this community college I attended from 2002-2005.

Hey all,

I just got the Lost Complete Collection on Bluray for christmas (joygasm!!) I was just wondering if anyone else got it and can compare notes on the crazy easter eggs in the box. I swear to God that I've spent more time looking at the box than the episodes (which are very pretty in HD).

The Big Lebowski (1998) - IMDb



This was a pretty damn good movie and it was funny. This dude called The Dude gets mistaken for a rich guy and some guy urinate on his rug and he goes after this guy with his bowling buds. It was a really excellent movie. I gave it a 9/10 on IMDb. Has anyone seen this movie?

There's a well-known homosexual in my country (I hope that doesn't sound as bad as it sounds to me) who's very flamboyant and cross-dresses and whatnot. I admire him for his bravery and others do too. On Facebook the other day I read that he was beaten and stabbed and was upset by that, others were too... or at least I thought so.

One person posted and asked if it was true and one person said yes, a few others commented and said that they were saddened by the news. However, there was this one guy who asked ''Why do you all care anyways? He's a fag'' and that started a long string of ''lmao true!'' and ''For real, he should have died'' comments.

I was really, really sad after reading that. If they were to see someone being attacked or dieing in front of their eyes, would they not help them because they were gay? It's funny how some of those people even quoted the Bible. Are gays less than human now?
