They Fit!

Someone Probably Needs to Take Away My Credit Card . . .

I just ordered a pair of these on-line.  If they don't fit, I will be crushed.

Christmas Is Just a WEEK Away???

"Fuckity, fuckity, fuck, fuck fuck," as my friend James (not the blogger) used to say.  Perhaps he still does.  I know he reads this sometimes, so perhaps he can comment and let us know.

How did this year go by so fucking quickly?  The older I get, the faster time goes.  I remember reading a number of years ago that a grant had been given to some group of scientists to figure out why time seems to speed up as we age.

They should've just given the money to me, 'cause I'd figured it out when I was in my teens, I think.  Of course, someone else might've, as well, but it's highly unlikely, given the astounding computing power of my massive brain.

Anyhow: as we age, time slices represent a smaller and smaller percentage of our overall lives.  When you're five years old, a year is 20% of your entire life.  When you're my age, it's a measly 2%.

They had to pay someone to figure that out?  Bitch, please!

Man, this post SUCKS.  Sorry.  I realized I've not posted in a week, so this is a stopgap, of sorts.

I suppose I could talk about something else, too, huh?

Hmmmmmmmmm . . .

No, I best not.  I promised my husband I'd get to bed at a decent hour and here it is 10 past midnight already.  Oh, well.  Lots to do tomorrow, so nighty night, all.

WAIT!!!!

I just looked up "measly" on Merriam-Webster's site to make sure I spelled it correctly and discovered it has additional meanings of which I was not aware:

2 a : containing larval tapeworms b : infested with trichinae

And what are trichinae, you ask?

a small slender nematode worm (Trichinella spiralis) that is a parasite of flesh-eating mammals (as humans and swine) with larvae that migrate from the intestines to striated muscles where they become encysted

Hands up who else feels sick?

Crimony

To anyone who thinks my previous post was:

• criticizing color schemes
• criticizing teenagers for having sex
• criticizing parents for approving of their sons being gay
• criticizing teenagers for liking jockstraps
• rooted in jealousy
• etc.

Read the fucking post again.  I was pointing out the striking similarities between the blog in question and the now-gone, fake blog that was used to troll for kiddie porn.

That's it.

For the record:

• I'm very happy for any gay/bi boy who is out as a teenager.
• I'm even more happy for any gay/bi boy who has parents that accept him.
• I'm ecstatic for any gay/bi boy who has a boyfriend.
• I'm extremely happy that the world has changed enough since I was a teenager for the above to be possible.  When I was 15, the above were not possible.
• I am not jealous of gay/bi kids who are able to live openly when I was not.  Do you really think I'd be a volunteer at a youth center for LGBTQQ kids, if I was?

Potential Faker Alert: 15 and Hung Like a Squirrel

I don't typically like to attack other bloggers, but I just checked out a new blog I saw linked on someone else's: 15 and Hung Like a Squirrel.  I thought the blog name was funny, so decided to look.

I'm sure a lot of y'all remember Wild Matty 16's Playhouse, a blog purportedly done by a 16-year-old boy who was sexually active with two boyfriends and approval of all parents involved.  I didn't read it often as it was not exactly believable and I don't care for blogs that are just reports of sexual escapades.  On top of that, the writing didn't feel honest.  What 16-year-old is gonna talk about how "hot" it is to be fucked by a 14-year-old, for example?

More than once, "Matty" made blatant requests for kiddie porn.  The first time was not long after I first saw the blog and I thought maybe he was just incredibly stupid and/or naïve (I was still giving him the benefit of the doubt about being for real, at that point).  Not too long after, however, a second request was made.  At that point, I figured something was up and the blogger was probably someone trolling the 'net for kiddie porn.  A few days later, "Matty" admitted it was all a put-on and deleted the blog.

So, this new blog . . .

• Same color scheme
• Same writing style
• Same obsession with barebacking
• Same adult approval of young teen gay sex
• Same parental approval of young teen gay sex
• Same interest in jockstraps (do many kids even know what they are anymore?)
• Same interest in "boys 13-17"

I may be wrong, but I doubt it.

So, be forewarned.  I don't know if this guy is a predator but I'd be careful about any kind of interaction with him.

O M G . . . I'm Turning into a Little Girl!

I'm out of control.

I just ordered this Hot Pink Rubber Silicone Soft Skin Cover Case for my new cellphone.

Paranormal Activity???

5 a.m. this morning. The older dog is acting weird. Weirder than usual, I mean.

As I slipped out of dreamyland, I realized there were really creepy noises coming from somewhere.

My cellphone charges on the nightstand table on my side of the bed, so I grabbed it and took a couple of videos, 'cause that's the only way I know (yet) to make sound recordings with my week old, new phone. The tiny flashes you see are the auto-dispense air freshener thing (why it has to have a flashing light, I have no clue).

What do you think?

Yeah, you caught me, it's Phil snoring with a stuffed up nose. Each nostril was making a different tone.

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes

I got tired of the main column being so damn skinny, so I changed the template around last night.  Well, technically, (very) early this morning.  I put up a poll at the top right to voice your opinion.  Feel free to comment here, as well, if you like.

Re: Manhattan Declaration Affirms Life, Marriage and Religious Liberty

To: mgallagher@nationformarriage.org

Do you ever feel guilty for the lies you tell?

Are The Ten Commandments so unimportant to you that you have no qualms with breaking them in order to ensure the doctrines of your religion dominate the civil laws of this country?

You mention "religious liberty" yet apparently have no idea what it means: everyone should be free to practice their religion, as they see fit. "Religious liberty" does NOT mean you have the liberty to demand civil law be tailored to the doctrine of your religion.

Is the Bill of Rights mere toilet paper to you?

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof

By insisting same-sex partners be denied marriage by the federal government, you are demanding that Congress make laws respecting the establishment of your religion's doctrines regarding marriage.

You are demanding that the religious views of people who are not opposed to same-sex marriage be legally abrogated.

In short, you are demanding that Congress violate Amendment I to the U.S. Constitution.

How do you sleep at night?

I just sent the above in response to an e-mail from Ms. Gallagher touting the just published Manhattan Declaration, which claims to affirm:

1. the sanctity of human life
2. the dignity of marriage as the conjugal union of husband and wife
3. the rights of conscience and religious liberty.

LGBTQQ - Long and Unwieldy . . . but Not Unwarranted

In a comment on my last post, Rick wrote:

I'm also just damned tired of the labels like GLBTT and other variations all lumped together as one group or community. Since when do I need to support guys who want to be surgically castrated because they think they're women. Or women who want to have a fake penis sewn onto their vaginas. Ok. I admit it. I'm biased here, but if some folks want to cut off their pee pees then fine: Start your OWN fuckin' support group. They won't help the cause of me and my partner of 23 years attain legal and financial rights and protections. We're already considered abnormal. What the fuck are they??

We homosexuals and bisexuals need to support them, and they us, because, to the the people who hate us, there is little to no difference:

• A gay man is a not a real man but, rather, a man who wants to be a woman.
• A pre-op transgendered female is a man who wants to be a woman and plans on having surgery to accomplish this goal.
• A post-op transgendered female is a man who has had sex-reassigment surgery to be female. 

• A lesbian is a woman who wants to be a man.
• A pre-op transgendered male is a woman who wants to be a man and plans on having surgery to accomplish this goal.
• A post-op transgendered male is a woman who has had sex-reassignment surgery to be physically male.

Note that in both groups, the birth gender is what the outsider sees.  A woman who was born in a male body but has had sex-reassignment surgery is still a fag, just a fag that looks like a chick.  A fag who probably needs to be given a beatdown to teach him a lesson.  He needs to be reminded that God made him a guy, not a fag with tits.

To them, the people who steadfastedly refuse any attempt at understanding us, we're all freaks.

I know, on the face of it, it would seem that gays and transgendered people have no common ground when it comes to same-sex marriage but that couldn't be further from the truth.  Currently, few states allow same-sex marriage and the federal government refuses to recognize same-sex marriages at all.  What on Earth could that have to do with transgendered folk?

Scenario:

Bobby knew from a very young age that there was something wrong with his body.  He had a penis where he should not've.  He liked girly things like dolls, playing dress up and having tea parties.  He wanted to wear dresses instead of jeans.  He knew, inside, that he was Bobbi, not Bobby.

When Bobby hit puberty, he began noticing boys and feeling a sexual attraction to them rather than girls, as his biology would seem to indicate.  It wasn't easy for Bobby to be masculine, as would be expected of a teenager with a penis.  Bobby was a fag.

When Bobby got to his twenties, he was suicidal.  He knew he was a woman on the inside but a man on the outside.  He began to dress and live as a woman and to start saving money for a sex change.  All the while, Bobby was sexually attracted to guys.  Bobby was a fag.

Bobby had the surgery and became Bobbi in her late twenties.  She met a wonderful man and fell in love.  After several months of dating, he asked Bobbi to marry him and she accepted immediately.  She had told her fiancée long before that she was born a male, and he had no problem with it.

They planned their wedding and went to the courthouse to get a marriage license.

Sorry!  NO!

Bobbi's birth certificate listed her as Bobby, the fag.  Same-sex marriages aren't allowed where she and her fiancée live.  The state will not allow Bobbi to have her birth certificate updated.  Bobbi is not a woman; Bobbi is Bobby, the fag who got his dick lopped off.  Bobbi has no legal right to marry the man who pledged his love to her, despite the fact that mentally and physically they are not the same sex.

Denial of same-sex marriage rights, therefore, is both a gay and a transgender issue.  To our enemies, we are the gender we were born, no matter what has been changed surgically.

So, LGBTQQ is long and unwieldy but appropriate.

For those who don't know, it's:

• Lesbian
• Gay
• Bisexual
• Transgendered
• Queer
• Questioning

I've also seen an I included at least once, for Intersexed.  I'm not sure how marriage laws affect them but I imagine they face legal obstacles, as well.  After all, can someone be of the opposite gender to their intended marriage partner if sex organs for both genders are present in some form?

Response to a Post on Another Blog

I just left this comment on this post on the Naughty North blog, so I thought I'd share.

The post was audio from a radio interview with the writer of the blog.

Perhaps marriage became a big deal in Maine because the powerful bigots decided to take the just-gained marriage equality away.

If you don't want to get married or join the military, fine. That's your choice. If you want to tell the rest of us we shouldn't want it, either, then you side with our enemies.

How does siding with our enemies help the LGBTQQ community? It doesn't.

How does siding with them help them? It gives them ammo to continue to keep us oppressed. There are already plenty of them who argue we don't really want to do either; we just want to destroy them. That's a load of fucking bullshit.

Marriage is not a single-issue fight. You mention insurance and that's a perfect example, though you apparently can't see it.

Most insured people in this country get insurance through their employers. Who is covered by insurance is contingent on legal family status. Unless a company decides to extend dometic partner benefits, only spouses and children get coverage. If your (hypothetical?) partner worked for a company that provided insurance, but only for legally recognized family, you'd be uninsured. If marriage were legal, you would have the option to be insured.

Further, insurance-wise, there's COBRA. If a same-sex couple gets all their insurance through one partner's employer, and he or she loses that job, COBRA coverage will be available only to the employee. His or her partner would immediately lose insurance coverage.

What if that couple has children? Since we're denied marriage, if the partner with no insurance was the legal parent of those children, they would immediately lose their insurance, as well.

Marriage rights are not a short-term thing, either. Surely you can't have missed the governor of RI vetoing a bill that would've allowed same-sex partners to make funeral arrangements, ffs. In addition, vindictive family members have more right to the deceased's belongings, and possibly home, than a same-sex partner. Why? Because legally, they are related. I've heard far too many stories of surviving long-time partners losing everything, thanks to the simple fact that our relationships have no legal recognition.

Marriage involves an incredible number of issues. No, marriage equality will not fix everything, but it would fix such an incredible number of them that opposing it is cutting off your nose to spite your face.

BTW, the "historically oppressive" attitude toward marriage is absurd. It has no bearing on the present day and no bearing on same-sex marriages, since there's no husband-as-owner-of-wife dynamic.

If anyone wants to respond that we do have equal rights and marriage-is-a-man-and-a-woman, I'll likely delete the comment as I'm sick of that tired argument, especially when made by people who refer to themselves as gay.
