Criminalization of Homosexuality in India: All that is black is not coal!

Ok, I have stayed silent for long... for too long it seems. There has been a good number of blog posts in GA and thankfully all of them are in favour of the LGBT community of India. This was expected. GA is a safe space and a close community of great solidarity. In today's hateful cyberspace, this is a truly unique oasis of love. I am really thankful for GA. But, regarding this matter, there has been some amount of confusion and misinformation as well. I want to target those and clear the air a

Hmmm....

So i wanted to get some help from you guys. Or even just advice.   I'm having a few problems around the house and in my life that I don't really know how to deal with. I've spoken with my bf about these things and I just wanted some other ears.   firstly. My mum. She is... unique. Just she seems to be under the impression that i'm not gay. For example, i bought this beautiful scarf in Camden the other week and its probably my favourite thing i've ever owned. And today she turns around to me

Missing Holiday Spirit

It is official. This was the year without any Christmas spirit for me.   Since I have gone to work in retail, life as I knew it was over. This year though work has pushed the idea of holiday over the edge. I worked 51 hours over six days. The store has been closing at eleven or midnight, and opened by seven am. There is a marked lack of customers but that hasn't stopped the non-sense. I listen as other stores this year have gone twenty four hours a day till Christmas eve, like Toys-R-Us and Wa

"So...did they rule out suicide?" (And Christmas Caroling)

Friday I went to this alumni lunch deal at my old high school, where I get a free Bobbie hoagie and sit around and watch current students do a Holiday showcase.   I talked to some people about my friend Steve's death...when I mentioned that he died a drug overdose, almost all of them asked me, "So did they rule out suicide?"   I mean, I get the question, and on an intellectual level I get it, but a part of me just felt pissed off. Pissed off that my friend Steve is going to be dismiss

Was I wrong?

So I did something tonight that I've always wanted to, but have always kind of just turned away and ignore it.   It happened in a McDonald's of all places   I walk up and a lady asks me to take my order. She is an older lady, by her accent would guess she originally came from Eastern Europe.   Next to me is a man about 55 who has already put in his order and is starting to get louder and louder as he is saying that Canada is giving away all our jobs to the foreigners. He gets louder and s

Duck Dynasty

Okay, even living under a rock like I do I have heard of the show. Not the type of thing I sit down to watch, but then I barely watch much of anything on television lately.The show itself is centered around a family that was making nearly a million a year off their business.   Now the father and founder of the group has gone on to have his say on what he feels about gays. That is his opinion, and I feel it is his right to have his say about how he feels. Whether right or wrong he is protected

Coincidences and overreactions

Well a friend of mine, James, phoned me earlier today saying he needed to see me.   His 15 year old son Michael, (who is gay and out) has been suspended from school for bringing "smut" onto school premises, even though the school year ends on Friday - "smut" was his teacher's words not mine.   Needless to say I was shocked. Not quite so much by the fact that he is into porn at 15, it was the surprise that he would be stupid enough to take a porn magazine to school (at least that was what I

"Oh I love all the gays, but I don't want to touch one because it might have AIDS."

Interviewer: "Hello Bobby, do you support gay marriage?" Bobby: "Yeah of course. Gays should get to marry whoever they want."   Interviewer: "Would you let them live near you?" Bobby: "Well... They might have AIDS and they might fuckin pass it onto my children when they open doorknobs and shit. But I still have much respect for them."       Interviewer: "Hello Joe, what do you think about gays?" Joe: "Dude I'm totally cool with all the gays."   Interviewer: "What do you think about ga

The Speed of Progress

I was attending a physics conference in Puri, India when in the hotel lobby, I literally dropped what I was doing to read the paper's headline about the Apex Court recriminalising homosexuality. My reaction was shock, but then muted to a shrug.   Take this for example. An Indian colleague of mine, a fellow particle physicist, 30, about to get married, is still trying to convince the fiancee's family not to pay a dowry. Not to mention that his own family still hasn't come around to accepting hi

Ray Price dead at 87

Many of you youngsters have no idea who Ray Price is. I used to wake up to him singing on Saturday mornings at my home. My Dad loved him. If you want to hear some wonderful and heartfelt music, Google Ray Price Greatest Hits. 'For the Good Times is wonderful, but I love so much of his music. I know this shows my age, but music like this should be remembered, and revered. May this iconic Country singer be remembered with respect and love.

Creepy Science, strange but true

I think GA writers will get a good amount of inspiration from this factoid, it also shows one very interesting truth about human beings. We are in many ways conditioned and controlled despite our own beliefs in individuality:

Becoming A Bully

Just a little something I wrote for school, and thought I would share, oh and please disregard all the grammar errors, I wrote this for a presentation and figured since only i was reading it I didn't need to fix them, and now I'm just lazy.   I live, I lie, I make you cry, It makes me stronger when you no longer, Have any power, to fight back To attack, to react, To stand up through my attack, Cuz if you did then you would see, That what I do, is not because of me, it’s because of y

Damn TSA

So when I got to the airport today and was going though the TSA they were questioning my temporary Iowa Driver's license. It is equipped with a watermark and security features but the guy was asking for something else. He asked for my social security card, which I don't carry. I landed up showing an insurance card and credit card. I was surprised I didn't have to give a DNA sample. I was so happy when I got home and in my mailbox was my official Iowa Drivers License. Now when I am in DC next wee

Two Weeks Later and My Friend's Official Obituary

It's been two weeks since my friend Stephen died. I checked out his FB page, and found a link to his obituary.   It's so strange. I've actually had this habit since I was 11 or 12 years old of reading obituaries. This guy in high school said I was morbid for doing so, but I've always liked reading about the interesting and long lives of people who lived through things like World War II or the Great Depression. I also like to visit cemeteries, check out tombstones, read the dates, and imagine

A song that didn't make my list for stories but is still awesome

Blink 182- Won't Be Home for Christmas was one of my favorites for a long time; irreverent, edgy, and real     It's a good song for all the opposite reasons that Christmas Shoes is good song to me. I like Music that is deep and emotional or Irreverent and satirical. It complements my personality traits; I am very traditional conservative guy, but I also have extremely Socially Liberal views and aggressive opinions. I'm not Bipolar, just a quirky guy with a taste for opposition.   Here's

Bully and a Black Eye

This is absolutely crazy. My eight year old grandson is sporting a black eye. "real black eye" His eye is almost swollen shut, and black puffiness below. He was defending the same little boy from a few weeks ago. The teachers told my daughter that they were looking into it. The little guy Kyle defended is very young and naïve. What is going on here? Kyle's teacher told my daughter that the bully hit the younger child and Kyle jumped up and punched the other boy in the face, resulting Kyle

Two steps back for India

So with more and more countries making progressive steps to equalize rights between homosexual and heterosexual persons, I guess it is unfortunate that there are some countries that will try to reverse that direction.   First, Russia made international news making the promotion or homosexual lifestyle illegal.   Now we have India's Supreme Court overriding a lower court ruling in 2009 that ruled an 1860 law outlawing "carnal intercourse against the order of nature with any man, woman or anim
