Homophobic Republican Attacked With Glitter

Anti-gay Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich (this must be his ‘Star Wars name’) came to blows with the iron fist of America’s gay community yesterday. Wanting to show the Republican that we homosexuals are a force to be reckoned with, the gay rights activist attacked Newt with…wait for it… glitter. Great, we have managed to make terrorism camp… *facepalm*

Mr Gingrich (not to be confused with rich gingers) was attending a book signing in Minnesota when the ‘suicide bummer’ struck.  Nick Espinosa emptied a box of rainbow glitter all over Gingrich and his wife’s head. Espinosa who, I suspect, was sponsored by the tasty sweets Skittles then said: “Feel the rainbow, Newt. Stop the hate. Stop anti-gay politics. It’s dividing our country and it’s not fixing our economy.”  I imagine Mr Espinosa was up on this rainbow and not on planet Earth during this embarrassing incident.

Sky News reported that in response to the pathetic attack, Newt commented: “Nice to live in a free country.” Now does he mean that in a sarcastic way? Suggesting that we shouldn’t live in a free country because you get gays like this throwing glitter over you? Or does he mean that we DO live in a free country; therefore he is entitled to his homophobic opinion? I’m not sure.

Newt Gingrich has been a big supporter of California’s gay marriage ban and has even gone as far to state that: “America suffers from “gay and secular fascism”.”

I completely appose Newt and his shit sounding name. It’s these right wing turd-burgers that hold America back from entering the 21^stcentury. And I agree that they need to spend more time fixing their economy and less time blocking the rights of the gay community.  But come on? Do we really think throwing Glitter at congressmen, quoting the Skittles Slogan will help our cause? I was under the impression we wanted to be taken seriously? Surely forcing these right-wing types to sit with a gay representative and discuss going forward, would be a better idea, however naive and misguided it may sound?

Straight Guy Acquitted After Squaring Up To A Gay

A gentleman of the heterosexual variety was today acquitted of assault after an incident in a Derry gay bar. Apparently a saucy queer decided to pinch his arse. Not a fan of having his poo cannon squeezed, the straight guy pushed his face into the face of poor unsuspecting poof. Why this ever got to court I will never know????

Christopher Brendan Thompson had been dancing the night away in Pepe’s Bar (Pepe must be the local ‘gay’ in Derry) last November. As Mr Thompson was popping out for a fag (no he hadn’t pulled, we mean a cigarette) a homosexual gentleman reached out and gave his bum a cheeky squeeze. According the Mr Thompson, he reacted the way he did because the gay was “ready to plant his lips on me.”

Thompson’s lawyer defended his actions by saying he: “had been “the victim of a sexual assault and he immediately turned around and rebutted that assault . He did so by pushing his face into the other man’s face. There was no blood, no injury, no bruising.”

District Judge Barney McElholm said he accepted that Mr Thompson had been brushing the man off as footballers sometimes do. Hang on, footballers do what? When I ‘brush’ guys off its usually in the cubicle after some heavy petting on the dance floor.

This seems all fine and straightforward to me? A guy fancies his luck and squeezes another guys arse. Being in gay bar I imagine he assumed they would take it as harmless flirting. Unfortunately the stupid ninny picked the only chuffing straight guy there. The straight guy acted as any butch hetty would do, he squared up to him. Didn’t hit him but, in the words of the judge; “established his straight credentials”. Neither reported the incident and both went on their way. So why are they up in court, retelling this minor misunderstanding?  Because some ‘eyewitness’ reported it!

Who does that? Neither wanted to take it further, so why bother? What did this busybody hope to gain by wasting police time and taxpayers money? Can we not drag this nosey shit to court and grill him on what possessed him to stick his ore into someone else’s, already, awkward and embarrassing business?

My god, don’t let this ‘eye witness’ start gay dating Soho. He’ll have half the Met down old Compton street as soon as he walks into G.A.Y.

Rubgy’s Ben Cohen Retires To Become A Gay Activist

The England Rugby Union hunk, a popular choice for the gay man’s wank bank, will be hanging up his rugby shoe type things to pursue a career as a gay rights activist. Oh shit, when was that snogging protest at the John Snow? Was he there for that?  Did I miss it?

Cohen has set up his very own foundation (Ben Cohen Stand Up Foundation) to tackle homophobia and bullying, particularly in schools.  Hopefully Ben will replace Peter Tatchell as the Jesus Christ of Gaydom… I know which one I’d rather watch waving a placard…naked…it’s not Peter, I just want to make that clear.

Ben seems just as shocked as we were when asked about his career change: “I would never have imagined my career was going to move in this direction after my rugby career, but here we are – it’s happening.

“I have reached the top in my sport. It has been an incredible journey and has put me in the privileged position I am in today to be able to work on these exciting new projects through the Stand Up Brand.

“As athletes, it is not enough just to have strong bodies, we must have strong characters and use our voices to support those who need and deserve it.”

It would seem Ben isn’t a big believer in charity beginning at home. His first crusade will be stateside where he will be launching the Ben Cohen Acceptance. Ben will visit gay and gay-friendly rugby clubs in Atlanta, Washington DC, Seattle and New York. He will hold training sessions at schools and colleges and talks on the need for equality.

This isn’t the first time Sexy-bones Ben has been all ‘proud’ on our behalf. In August 2010, Cohen gave his support to Gay Sports Day, an event organized by GMFA, the gay men’s health charity, and the Royal Vauxhall Tavern.

I think it s great to see a sports star being so candid about sexuality. Homosexuality in sports is always going to be something that will cause friction, changing rooms, awkward, hello! But hopefully the likes of Ben Cohen, who is married with children, will inspire some more high profile poofs to mince out of the very sporty looking closet. I’m praying to the big queer in the sky that Ronaldo is next out that closet…mmm

We are all different so tolerance and understanding are very important qualities. Check out these very poignant lyrics - sung by Mark Wills.. ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ I'm a little boy with glasses The one they call the geek A little girl who never smiles 'Cause I've got braces on my teeth And I know how it feels To cry myself to sleep I'm that kid on every playground Who's always chosen last A single teenage mother Tryin' to overcome my past You don't have to be my friend But is it too much to ask Don't laugh at me Don't call me names Don't get your pleasure from my pain In God's eyes we're all the same Someday we'll all have perfect wings Don't laugh at me I'm the cripple on the corner You've passed me on the street And I wouldn't be out here beggin' If I had enough to eat And don't think I don't notice That our eyes never meet I lost my wife and little boy when Someone cross that yellow line The day we laid them in the ground Is the day I lost my mind And right now I'm down to holdin' This little cardboard sign...so Don't laugh at me Don't call me names Don't get your pleasure from my pain In God's eyes we're all the same Someday we'll all have perfect wings Don't laugh at me I'm fat, I'm thin, I'm short, I'm tall I'm deaf, I'm blind, hey, aren't we all Don't laugh at me Don't call me names Don't get your pleasure from my pain In God's eyes we're all the same Someday we'll all have perfect wings Don't laugh at me

Calista Flockhart TV show Brothers & Sisters axed by ABC due to disappointing ratings

It looks like Callista Flockhart, Sally Field and Rachel Griffiths will have to start looking for new employment after their TV show Brothers & Sisters was cancelled today.

The show, which has run on U.S. TV since 2006, is thought to have been axed due to disappointing ratings. 

The drama is one of several shows which has been culled by the network, including V, No Ordinary Family, Better With You and Mr Sunshine.

Award winning: Sally Field won an Emmy back in 2007 for playing matriarch Nora Walker

Brothers & Sisters revolved around the fortunes of the Walker family after the death of father and husband William Walker.

It was critically acclaimed during its run, with Sally Field winning an Emmy award back in 2007 for playing overbearing mother-of-five Nora.

Her five children included conservative Kitty, played by Callista Flockhar.

The show also starred Rob Lowe and Balthazar Getty for its first three seasons. 

There had been some speculation that the drama would get a last minute reprieve from the network, but fans were disappointed to learn that the episode which aired on Sunday May 8 was indeed the series' last.

However, it may not have been entirely unexpected, with several of the series' cast members hinting that the show would get the chop.

Earlier this month, Griffiths, who played stepdaughter Sarah Laurent, joked that she would soon be signing on to Australian welfare for unemployment.

'I'm soon to be unemployed so I checked in with Centrelink and said  "Looks like I’m out of a job,"' she said. 

Stars of the show: Calista and Sally have appeared in the drama since it started back in 2006

George & Mildred

 

My favourite old sit-com at the moment..Thank God for ITV3

“PASS THE kettle love, I’ve been up all night.” “You could’ve fooled me, dear”. Sparkling suburbcom shenanigans spun-off from MAN ABOUT THE HOUSE wherein our heroes decide to up sticks from their London terrace and relocate to commuter belt bliss, thereby allowing Mildred to indulge in much Abigail’s Party-mooning about quality of life as typified by textbook middle class neighbours the Fourmiles (“They’ve even got wall-to-wall carpeting!”) replete with bespectacled smartarse son Tristram, who in turn gives professional idler George the runaround (“I tells yer, there’s summat wrong with that kid!”). Whist drives, dinner drives, tupperware parties and coffee mornings ensue. ROY KINNEAR dropped in from time to time, inevitably, as did Sir Dennis off of TERRY AND JUNE
