10:06 pm - Gays REMOVED from the Uniting American Families Act
|
Why has there been no media coverage over the fact that gays were REMOVED from the Uniting American Families Act that was introduced this last week?????? I found out about it via a queer blog. [source: queerty.com]
Previously, because of my situation with Garry, when I looked up this bill - same-sex couples were included.... But something has changed and they _REMOVED_ gays from the bill so we can't sponsor our partners.
That's some serious BULLSHIT!

11:27 pm - Bill James needs to go (to hell)
|
Read what Republican commissioner Bill James of Mechlenburg County, NC said to Vilma Leake after she spoke about her son dying of AIDS…
He leaned over and said to her, "Your son was a homo, really?” [Source : http://lezgetreal.com/?p=23866 ]
Then read the public statement he released after a request for an interview was issued, ending with "if she didn't want to make her ‘son' an issue – why did she use him, his lifestyle and his tragic self-inflicted death from AIDS as the reason for her vote?" [Source : http://www.wbtv.com/global/story.asp?s=11686905 ]

1- Dove will become the white lantern (She already is... just without the ring).
2- Kyle will become either the white lantern or a blue lantern (i'm putting my money on the white lantern).
3- Guy will become a Red Lantern (already happening)
4- John Stewart will become an alpha Lantern (although he already turned them down once).

2:07 pm - Open Letter to Mark Shuttleworth
|
Dear Mark Shuttleworth,
I'm a huge fan of Ubuntu and thankful for it's creation, and all the money you put into it. I'm also a huge fan of wikipedia. I use it all the time, as both a consumer of it's content and as an editor/contributor.
Wikipedia is non-commercial and in need of funding.
You know where I'm going with this. But unlike a letter I'm sure you get all the time asking for money, as a technologist I'm sure you understand the value and importance of Wikipedia. I dare assume you've used it a time or two... who hasn't?
That said, could you think about what I've said here and think about the difference you could make.
So like everyone else, I'd like to ask you to scroll down to the bottom of the donation page and click donate.
Thanks - 'tis the season and all that :) ,
-Brad

9:47 am - History will record Republicans with blood on their hands.
|
Ronald Regan refused to publicly say the word "AIDS." Meanwhile hundreds of thousands of Americans were dying of AIDS.
George W Bush refused to allow stem cell research for HIV/AIDS treatment (something we know works).
So don't tell me this isn't political. History will record Republicans with blood on their hands.

6:06 pm - "In Darkest Day...In Blackest Night..."
|
I just finished reading Green Lantern: Rebirth
That is possibly one of the best collections I've ever read. Geoff Johns introduces the idea of the "emotional spectrum" in this series and at the same explains and connects the dots of so much of the whole Green Lantern mythos.
I loved it. Start to finish loved it.
I _WILL_ own that book in hardcover.
Wonderful. Can't wait to read the rest.

1:44 pm - the debate over a lesbian bishop
|
Note: I am not Christian because ... gee- the Bible is all sorts of fucked up.... Example: Jesus was repeatedly overwhelmingly Pro-Slavery ... women are property according to the Bible... and so on.
Today I was reading an article about the debate over having a lesbian bishop.
I can't see how you can have a female Bishop in the Christian Church when the Bible so clearly states that woman can not be in a leadership role over a man.
1 Timothy 2:12
12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent.
Seems pretty clear to me. You have to address that before you can even begin the debate over having a lesbian bishop.
---
My mom was a teacher. But that's okay, because the above said "man", not "boy" or "son."
Proverbs 6:20
20 My son, keep your father's commands and do not forsake your mother's teaching.

3:14 am - Sen. Ruben Diaz, Sr. == A Black Bigot
|
Sen. Ruben Diaz, Sr. has joined the ever growing list of black bigots.
These new (or should I say old-school) bigots bring a new meaning to the term hypocrites.
"...a coalition of eight Democrats led by Sen. Ruben Diaz, Sr. (D-NY 32), the leader of the Senate fight against same-sex "marriage," who joined every member of the GOP caucus in a conscience vote against the bill." [Source]
Why are there so many religious black bigots out there? It seems they learned NOTHING about civil rights.

9:51 pm - How to get rid of "fast browser search" (installed by "My Tattoos" Facebook application) in Firefox
|
How to get rid of ""fast browser search" (installed by "My Tattoos" Facebook application) in Firefox:
1- Open about:config in the location bar of your browser
2- Scroll down to "browser.serach.defaultenginename"
3- Starting there and continueing down to "browser.search.order.1": Right click on each entry and select "Reset." Repeat for each setting until you "reset" all the ones that are set to "FastBrowser".
4- Find "keyword.URL" in the list of configs. Again, right click and select "Reset"
This should reset everything back to using "Google" as the default browser search engine.
