Last week when I posted Tribeca Film Festival Promotes Exploitation of Transgender People, I never thought that the call to action would cause controversy within the GLBT community. As gudbuytjane said about the movie on her blog: I felt sick. I have seen the lives and even the deaths of trans people appropriated by cis [...]
“He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.” — Martin Luther King Jr. Well it didn’t take long for responses to my last blog. One person wrote me privately saying she was disappointed I didn’t “understand” how “serious” the Pam’s House Blend controversy was and that I should’ve “come down [...]
“Just waking up in the morning, gotta thank God. I don’t know but today just seems kinda odd…. Plus nobody I know got killed in South Central L.A. … Today was a good day.” – It Was A Good Day, Ice Cube As I intermittently work on this blog the day before the trial begins [...]
GLAAD recently put out a “Call to Action” against KRXQ’s “Rob, Arnie, and Dawn” show after they went on a nasty verbal tirade against transgender children. Since the outburst, show sponsors Snapple, Sonic, Chipotle, Bank of America, Verizon, Carl’s Jr (CKE Restaurants), Wells Fargo, Nissan North America, AT&T, and McDonald’s have all pulled advertisements on [...]
Today we discussed the lies forwarded by Christian Conservatives, gender marker changes in Massachusetts,
the ALCU suing Illinois for not changing documentation of people who had SRS outside of the United States, and GLAAD’s misstep of nominating the show “The New Adventures of the Old Christine.”
This is from the folks over at GLAAD: February 7, 2008 Just one week after GLAAD issued an alert encouraging our community to respond to a sensational New York Post headline, the tabloid today ran yet another egregious headline, “Axis of She-Vil.” The article, about the Iranian government’s plans to subsidize sex reassignment surgeries, also [...]
I’m waiting for the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) to put out an action alert calling for a ban on Transadvocate.com. Why? Because I’ve asked them to advocate for the “T” in their mission statement with the same veracity that they do for gay and lesbian issues. I even wondered on blog if [...]
Transexual Menace protested HRC for lack of inclusion in their advocacy back in 2005, I think maybe it’s time to protest GLAAD for the same thing. In a post entitled : GLAAD About Hate Speech, I discussed the viciousness of Michael Savage’s most remarks concerning the murder of Ruby Ordenana. GLAAD’s response consisted of a [...]
As some of you may have noticed, there was no Carnival of Bent Attractions (COBA) post last month. This was partially due to the move of COBA to Transadvocate.com. So without further ado, the May addition of the Carnival of Bent Attractions! Romeo Vitelli’s April 1st post, “Becoming Lili” reflected on the life of transsexual [...]
In my post, “Just Wondering” I asked where the outrage was concerning Michael Savage’s attack on on transgender people. It’s two weeks later, and I’m still asking myself the same question. Ann Coulter – Called one man a faggot. Don Imus – Called a team “nappy headed hoes.” Michael Savage – Called a murdered transwoman [...]
