Jorge Steven Lopez Mercado
This post is about him but is also an attempt to bring some balance to what some may find to be a gay-hostile position on hate crime legislation regarding the GLBT community.
Earlier this month, gay 19-year-old Jorge (hor-hay) was brutally attacked and killed by a gay-hating individual, Juan A. Martinez Matos, 26. [...]

Sometimes, people take things too far.
There are times when humor is humor for humor’s sake. And there are times that an ad is an ad for advertising’s sake. The point of advertising is to present a message about a product or service in such a way so as to drive a desire for that product or [...]

Justice has been partly served to the man responsible for the brutal assault and murder of Anne Pressly. Now that Curtis Lavelle Vance has been convicted, there should be no debate as to whether he is guilty or not. That debate occurred in the jury room with convincing and unquestionable evidence. Those present with [...]
Gay? Happy?

“Gay” and “Happy” have not been in the same area of a thesaurus for quite some time. Apparently, Ian McKellan, while gay, is not happy. At least, not happy with the Bible. The PopEater article below tells of how he rips out the page in the Bible containing Leviticus 18:22. He says that it’s not [...]
A Confession by Vance?

According to a news post on CBS News, Curtis Lavelle Vance said that he used a wooden-handled garden tool to beat Anne Pressly to death after she woke up and found him in her room. His trial is set to begin today. At question is whether the “confession” was obtained from Vance improperly.
Improperly? OK, so [...]

A while back, I wrote about Chastity Bono and her journey to manhood as “Chaz” Bono. Her decision to become male was the least newsworthy event that week but I couldn’t pass up on commenting about it. And maybe for her and the GLBT community, that was the point.
Well, Chaz is in the news again, [...]
So Let Me Get This Straight

This country needs, among all the other things it is lacking, expanded hate crime legislation at the federal level for assaulting a person because of sexual orientation or gender identity.
Not to disparage Matthew Shepard, after whom the Senate bill is partly named, but is it not enough to try those individuals involved in his death [...]
