Free Kate Hunt

Not the simplest issue. But should you be propsecuted for dating someone who is a student in the same school?

Assistant State Attorney Brian Workman: Stop the prosecution of an 18 year old girl in a same-sex relationship

1. Petition by
  
  Steven Hunt he
  
  Palm Bay, FL

Kailtyn’s girlfriend’s parents are pressing charges because they are against the same-sex relationship, even though their daughter has stated that this is a consensual relationship. The two girls began dating while Kaitlyn was 17 but her girlfriend’s parents blamed Kailtyn for their daughter’s homosexuality. They waited until after Kaitlyn turned 18 and went to the police to have charges brought against her.

Kaitlyn was a highly respected student at Florida’s Sebastian River High School with good grades and participation in cheerleading, basketball and chorus. She was even voted “most school spirit.” Now she’s been expelled from school and is facing serious felonies - all because she is in love. If convicted, she could end up in jail or live under house arrest, will have to register as a sex offender, and live her life as a convicted felon.

Our family will do everything we can to stop these people from ruining our daughter’s promising life. This is unjust and unfair - and we need your help to stop it.

Heterosexuals stumped by question that's plagued homosexuals for decades

What question has stumped the heterosexual community?
Clip gets 3 million hits in two days
Open letter to PM Julia Gillard on gay marriage in

WHEN DID YOU CHOOSE TO BE STRAIGHT?

IT'S the question that the gays have been asked for, like, ever, yet one in which the heterosexuals have escaped scot-free.

Enterprising duo Travis Nuckolls and Chris Baker took said question to the streets and decided to ask a few unwitting members of the community of Colorado Springs for their take on the human rights issue.

The result is compelling stuff. Just click on the video above and ask yourself the same question. Go on, I dare you.

It’s one of the smartest, simplest and most powerful social experiments for the movement we’ve seen yet and debunks the nature versus nurture hoo-ha that’s flung around the joint.

The clip is five-years-old, but the fact it's received three million hits in two days - or 86 per cent of total views - speaks volumes about the rise of the equality debate in recent years.

Here’s some of our favourite heterosexual responses:

"I was just born this way."

"I didn’t choose to be"

"I am who I am"

Sound familiar?

Bradley Manning protest June 1

June 1st will mark the beginning of Bradley Manning’s fourth year in prison and the start of his trial. The June 1st Ft. Meade protest for Bradley Manning will be the largest action of our campaign! People across the nation (and the globe) will converge on Ft. Meade to stand up for the Army whistle-blower who risked everything to give the public real facts about our government’s wars in the middle east and foreign policy worldwide.

Details:
• 1pm Gather (Reece Road and US 175, Fort Meade, Maryland)
• 2pm March/Action
• 3pm Rally and Speak Out
Sponsored by the Bradley Manning Support Network and the national Veterans for Peace organization, with the help of Courage to Resist, and many other groups. After more than three years of imprisonment, including nine months of torture, Nobel Peace Prize nominee Bradley Manning’s trial is finally scheduled to begin June 3, 2013, at Fort Meade.

The outcome of this trial will determine whether a conscience-driven 25-year-old WikiLeaks whistle-blower spends the rest of his life in prison. Bradley believed that the American people have a right to know the truth about what our government does around the world in our name. We the People must send a message to the military prosecuting authority, and President Obama, that Bradley Manning is the kind of hero and patriot we want and our country needs.

Watch a short video featuring Bradley Manning's voice, leaked from a recent court statement on his desire to engage American citizens in "discussions, debates and reforms" concerning U.S. foreign policy:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6L79wWAFUqg

Libertarians Rock in DC's Gayborhood

Press Release

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Outright Libertarians are proud to welcome Outright Utah as
our 13th state chapter.

Outright Utah is the most recent addition to Outright Libertari-
ans, the LGBT caucus group within the Libertarian Party, and
joins Arizona, Michigan, Florida, and Arkansas as the 5th new
chapter this year.

Based in Salt Lake City, the group is being organized by former
Log Cabin Republicans and is extremely enthusiastic about the
potential for success. Utah's conservative population and a high
density of LGBT voters means there is a huge opportunity for
winning converts to the philosophy of liberty.

The Libertarian Party is experiencing a surge in growth as voters
become increasingly mistrustful of the mainstream War Parties.
Outright Libertarians has responded to the need by seeking to
expand its influence through state chapters.

Like the other state chapters, Outright Utah will confront legisla-
tive and social issues at the state and city level, while Outright
Libertarians as a nationwide organization remains focused on
federal issues.

Please contact Outright Libertarians for further details.

Remember Jocelyn Elders? May is Masturbation Month

10 points to anyone who knows what "manustupration" is.

John Corvino on National Masturbation Month.

May 3, 2013 By JT Eberhard @Patheos blog

Did you know that May is National Masturbation Month? Knowing even the limited amount I do about biology, it would seem to me that every month is National Masturbation Month…

The great John Corvino has an article up at HuffPo about it.

May is National Masturbation Month. I am not making this up.

National Masturbation Month was introduced in 1995 by the sex-toy store Good Vibrations, in response to the dismissal of U.S. Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders. At a World AIDS Day presentation, an audience member had asked Elders about masturbation’s role in discouraging risky sexual activity among youth, and Elders had responded, “I think it is something that is part of human sexuality and a part of something that perhaps should be taught.” President Clinton subsequently fired her.

National Masturbation Month is intended to reduce the stigma surrounding the discussion and practice of masturbation. You’ve probably been observing it all along without even realizing it.

My absolute favorite quote from the article:

Since the inception of National Masturbation Month, various organizations have highlighted it by sponsoring “Wank Weeks” and (I am still not making this up) “Masturbate-a-thons,” where people raise money for sex-education groups by playing with themselves.

As charity fundraisers go, you can’t beat it. On second thought, you can!

I groaned, but it was the good type.

In the article, Corvino makes the point about how our reticence to discuss things like masturbation perpetuate the stigma around sexual content deemed deviant. This results in a pretty strong societal aversion to behavior which has all kinds of upsides (reduced stress, better physical and emotional health, fun) and literally no downsides. It also solidifies negative attitudes toward the very normal people engaging in “deviant” behavior.

Look, I masturbate. I also enjoy particular kinks. And when elderly virgins try to sell me on never feeling pleasure around my naughty bits, as though my life could be improved by this, I can only point out that I’m the one with a basis for comparison. I’ve been a virgin. It sucked. But I didn’t realize how much it sucked until I actually had sex. It was like playing Atari. Sure, it was great, but only because I had no idea what a PS3 was like.

And, frankly, not masturbating and remaining a virgin should be considered the deviant behavior. If anything is abnormal in the face of our biology, that’s it.

Corvino also includes a new video in his “What’s Wrong With Homosexuality” series about masturbation and Thomas Aquinas (not to be confused about the forthcoming porno I’m making of the same name).

Iron Man 3

<em>Iron Man 3</em>

Robert Downey Jr admits sexuality is a grey area – which is why many people question if he's gay or straight.

When dating Sarah Jessica Parker in the 1980s he often wore frilly outfits even her Sex And The City character Carrie might balk at.

‘A lot of my peer group think I’m an eccentric bisexual,’ he says. ‘That’s OK. Being relaxed about sexuality is something you’re born with.’

Robert, 43, has been married to Susan Levin for 3 years and is laid back about other people's opinions.

‘My identity was written on the wall by ancient and formidable guides and forces,’ he tells The Sunday Times magazine. ‘The best thing I can do is keep my hand out of it.’
