JIMNASIUM: Expose

I finished work early today. Since it was so nice out I decided to go to the U.C.L.A. campus and do some reading. As I passed Royce Hall I saw two college bros sitting on the stairs.

“Excuse me, guys.” I said. They stopped talking and looked at me. “Could you tell me where Wilson Plaza is?”…

It was a very big deal that Obama announced his support of gay marriage. Not only does it reaffirm his position but, since it does hurt his campaign, it shows just how much of a stand he holds without having to say it. I respect the man for the decisions he has made and if reelected I suspect a lot of promises he has made will be kept in his second term.

Also, I have to agree with Jim here come out trust me it will be THE best decision you can make.

While researching green construct’s effects on property value for a project discovered yet another reason why the gays are great. So apparently if a gay couple moves into certain neighborhoods it can actually increase the property value of surrounding homes. Are you really surprised?

Take a Stroll…with Rob Delaney - On Hating Gay People
I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Musical Theater from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. I studied jazz, tap, and ballet for years. I’m terrible at sports and I’m an excellent chef. I think Judy Garland is sublime. I realize those facts are like a spacious warehouse of red flags broadcasting homosexuality, but the fact is, I’m straight. If I had to guess, the chief indicator that I’m straight is that when I think about or stand near women, my dick gets hard. When I’m around guys—even fit, muscular ones with no shirts on—my dick remains in its dormant state. When I’m around women, I think about my dick and how it might feel inside of their body somewhere (like their vagina; not like in France or something, though that would be nice too (I just remembered that I speak French too, which can often identify an American man as “le gay”)).
When I’m around men, I don’t think about my dick, unless it wriggles out of my boxer flap, as it sometimes does, and touches a cold button of my jeans’ fly, and then I’m like “Get back in your cubby, you little rascal!” and nonchalantly adjust myself.
Bepenised Texan Rick Perry’s been in the news over the last few days for releasing a nakedly bigoted anti-gay ad that he believes will help revive his dying campaign. It won’t, but it made me think of a story I recently heard that illustrated the mindset and motivation of someone who actively fights to reduce and take away the rights of homosexual human beings.
It’s the story of a young man slowly discovering and accepting his homosexuality and it is extraordinarily painful and beautiful to hear. I cried. What’s most interesting is that the guy in the story used to actively and publicly campaign against gay rights.
People who concern themselves with the rights of other adults who engage in consensual acts involving sex, love, and/or eating croissants together are damaged and in pain.
Hating them won’t work. That doesn’t fix anything.
So far, the greatest quote I’ve heard in my 34 years is this: “Hatred never ceases by hatred in this world. By love alone it ceases; this is eternal law.” Gotama the Buddha said that about 2,500 years ago. Since it’s eternal, as he said, that means it applies right now.
I’m not suggesting that Rick Perry or those who campaign against gay rights are gay themselves. Some of them are, some of them aren’t; I don’t care. But they are damaged by, and damaging with, their hatred. I hope, for them, and for the people they are actively harming, that they can begin to experiment with some kindness and sympathy, and try on for size that Golden Rule that benefits both the giver and the recipient with real and immediate peace.
Homophobes aren’t going to hell, like they often say their perceived opponents are. Rather they are in hell, and they prolong their stay with each hateful act, word, and thought. They can leave whenever they want.
I hope you will listen to this story, because it is wonderful. It’s from an episode of This American Life called “So Crazy It Just Might Work.” It’s about a guy named Benny, whom you’re going to love.
Listen

This is great.

A-List‘s Taylor Garrett Gets Punched, His Car Vandalized, Becomes Delusional

Gay Christian Republican/A-List Dallas cast member Taylor Garrett filed a police report Friday claiming that a 6′ 2″, 200-pound bearded man in a baseball cap punched him in the face and scratched “Fuck Couther” into the side of his car. The bearded guy probably meant to scratch “Fuck Coulter” into Garrett’s car because of Garrett’s Association with demon she-beast Ann Coulter.

Getting your ass kicked by an illiterate vandal blows.

At least Garrett didn’t wait four days to file a police report like he did when someone allegedly threw a rock through his windshield for his GOP leanings. This time he also posted an image of his bloodied ear onto Twitter.

garrett_bloody_ear A more detailed timeline of the broken window fiasco has emerged, with mention of a second rock. Laura Martin, LGBT liaison officer for the Dallas Police Department said, “I wouldn’t have any reason to think that [the first attack] didn’t happen the way [Garrett]’s presented it.”

Meanwhile, in response to the second attack, Garrett said, “The Democrats want me to live on their plantation as their slave, because I’m a gay person. And I refuse to do that.”

So, the white Republican who paid to have his balls electrocuted on cable television is now comparing himself to the likes of Frederick Douglass? That’s a crime in and of itself.

Gay-Panic Defense Fails Gay Bar Owner’s Bi-Curious Murderer

Louis Duffy, 20, has been convicted of of second-degree murder and two counts of second-degree criminal possession for the shooting murder of 53-year-old Clinton Lewis, the owner of Elmira, NY, gay bar Club Chil.

Duffy’s deffence? That sex with Lewis gave him an emotional flashback to when his grandfather used to molest him as a school kid. It probably didn’t help that while he was awaiting trial he wrote to a woman that he’d lie in court to get out of jail sooner. He also told her not to believe all the gay stuff she’d hear about him in trial. Uh-huh.

Jurors didn’t buy his defense and now the bi-curious murderer faces 25 years to life in prison—all the more time for him to score some female pen pals.

Seriously?!

I decided to give this show a chance and I was not disappointed one bit. I was surprised that I watched it never mind that I actually like it. Let’s just say that it is way better than the A-List: New York which really isn’t saying much.

Notes

Hallowiener.

Lately my pathetic life has been entrenched in work, school, and school related events I haven’t had the time for friends. Since it is Halloween and my friends miss me I decided to go out, it wasn’t until I was walking around and seeing costume after costume that I realize that I probably should have worn one. Time after time people asked what my costume was even though it was obvious that I wasn’t wearing one. After about the billionth time, it could have been the argyle sweater or my uptight demeanor, I started telling people that I was “A Republican.”

I used to love Halloween… what happened?
