Pope's gay edict gets spirit of the season all wrong

For, apparently, gay people threaten the planet in a comparable way to the destruction of the rainforest. I guess the idea is that if we all were gay, then we wouldn't be making any babies.

Yes, it's a bit like saying that if we all were to become celibate priests we wouldn't be making any babies either. Except that would mean the Catholic church has itself become a threat to the planet. OK, that's a cheap shot....

What Everybody Ought to Know About Same Sex Marriage

Marriage, as defined by the civil law, is currently available to same-sex couples in six countries, and parts of a seventh (but not at the national level in that country). The Netherlands was the first country to allow same-sex marriage in 2001. Same-sex marriages are also legal in Belgium, Canada, Norway, South Africa and Spain, along with two states in the United States: Massachusetts and Connecticut.

From May 2008, California allowed for same sex marriages, though Proposition 8 has overturned that right as of November 2008. In 2005, Spain became the first country in the world to recognize same-sex marriage (including adoption rights) on equal terms and under the same law.


In 1996, the United States Congress passed the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) defining marriage as a union between a man and a woman amongst other stipulations.

As of May 2007, twenty-six states have passed constitutional amendments explicitly barring the recognition of same-sex marriage, eighteen of which prohibit the legal recognition of any same-sex union. Nineteen additional states have legal statutes that define "marriage" as a union of two persons of the opposite-sex. The territory of Puerto Rico ratified a similar statute in 1998.

Nonetheless, some states are beginning to offer legal recognition to same-sex couples, whether in the form of marriage or as civil unions or domestic partnerships.

The states of Vermont, New Jersey and New Hampshire offer civil unions. Also, Oregon has domestic partnership laws that grant some of the rights and responsibilities of marriage. Maine, Washington, Maryland, and the District of Columbia grant certain limited benefits through domestic partnerships, and Hawaii has reciprocal beneficiary laws.

VIDEO: Stewart Slams Anti-Gay Marriage Prop 8

On Monday night, Jon Stewart informed Sonja Eddings Brown -- a Proposition 8 supporter who had appeared on Bill O'Reilly and claimed she isn't against gay people, just gay marriage -- that "Your gay friends hate you."

Proposition 8, an initiative that would rewrite the constitution to eliminate the rights of same-sex couples to marry, has garnered national attention as millions of dollars have been poured into television advertising. One donor, the Mormon Church, gave $25 million to ensure the measure passes.

First Gay Erotic Film: "Boys In The Sand"

"Boy In The Sand"

"Boys in the Sand" is a landmark American gay pornographic film.

The 1971 film was directed by Wakefield Poole and stars Casey Donovan. "Boys in the Sand" was the first gay porn film to achieve crossover success and one of the earliest porn films of any stripe to gain mainstream credibility, preceding 1972's "Deep Throat" by nearly a year.

Produced on a budget of $8,000, the film is a loose collection of three segments depicting Donovan's sexual adventures at a gay beach resort community. Promoted by Poole with an advertising campaign unprecedented for a pornographic feature, Boys in the Sand premiered in New York City in 1971 and was an immediate critical and commercial success.

The film brought star Donovan international recognition. A sequel, "Boys in the Sand II", was released in 1986 but was unable to match the success of the original.

The film's title is a parodic reference to the Mart Crowley play and film "The Boys in the Band".

What Being Gay Is

Lady Bunny

In the English language, "gay" is an adjective that in modern usage refers to homosexuality. In earlier and in literary usage, the word means "carefree," "happy," or "bright and showy."

From the 1890s, it had begun to carry a connotation of promiscuity, as in a "gay house" referring to a brothel.

It began to be used in reference to homosexuality in particular from the early 20th century, from the 1920s at the latest.

According to BBC among younger generations in UK, the word 'gay' sometimes is used in a non-sexual pejorative meaning, equivalent to 'rubbish' or 'stupid'.

Homosexuality refers to sexual behavior with or attraction to people of the same sex, or to a homosexual orientation. As a sexual orientation, homosexuality refers to "having sexual and romantic attraction primarily or exclusively to members of one’s own sex"; "it also refers to an individual’s sense of personal and social identity based on those attractions, behaviors expressing them, and membership in a community of others who share them."

Homosexaulity, bisexuality, and heterosexuality together make up the three main classifications of sexual orientation and are the factors in the Heterosexual-homosexual continuum. The exact proportion of the population that is homosexual is difficult to estimate reliably, but most recent studies place it at 2–7%. Source: wikipedia.

Ramon Novarro: The Brutal Murder of Gay Hollywood Leading Man.

Back in the 1920’s women around the World were madly in love with Hollywoods’ leading screen idol, Italian 'latin lover' Rudolph Valentino.

Enter Mexican actor Ramon Novarro, from Durango Mexico who moved to the Los Angeles area with his family in the early 1900‘s. Ramon had starred in bit parts back in 1917and was also known to be working as a singing waiter.

At the time, well known Hollywood director Rex Ingram saw Ramon and tried to promote Novarro as a rival to Rudy Valentino.

In 1923 Novarro landed leading Hollywood silent film roles such as in the film ‘Scaramouche’.

It was in 1925 that he achieved huge success as a serious actor in the movie ‘Ben Hur‘. When Valentino died suddenly in 1926, Novarro was ‘promoted’ and became one of Hollywoods’ new leading men.

Novarro began playing roles like that of the mysterious ‘latin lover’, he also enjoyed success in ‘swashbuckler’ roles, as well as playing other romantic leads. He was known as having been one of the best leading actors of his day.

His first ‘talkie’ was in 1929 in the role of a singer in ‘Devil May Care’.

He then appeared with the great Greta Garbo in ‘Mata Hari’ in 1932, and also with Hollywood legend Myrna Loy in ‘Barbarian’ in 1933. But then Novarro’s star began to fade. And in 1935, MGM decided not to renew his contract.

In the 1940’s Novarro played in a few more lead roles, but nothing like the roles at the height of his success. In the early 1960’s he tried his hand at a Broadway play that soon failed.

Also in the 60’s he appeared on several well know TV shows including the successful TV series ‘The High Chaparral‘.The peak of Novarro’s success came between the 1920’s and 1930’s. He was reportedly paid $100,000 or more per picture.

Having made a few wise investments’ at the height of his career, it now allowed him to live a very comfortable lifestyle.

But also at the height of his success it is believed that MGM studio boss Louis B. Mayer tried to get Novarro to marry a female actress in a lavender marriage, in order to ward off leaking press that Novarro was a homosexual. Ramon had refused and that also lead to his contract being cancelled.

In October of 1968 Novarro picked up two male hustlers. The hustlers were brothers Tom and Paul Ferguson. Novarro had paid them to come to his home in Laurel Canyon.
It is believed that Novarro may have stated who he was and mentioned money to the Fergusons’.

According to reports, the two brothers believed that Novarro had large sums of cash hidden in the house. The brothers then tortured Novarro for several hours in an attempt to get him to disclose where the cash was hidden. They beat Novarro severely and left with only $20.

Novarro died from the brutal beating and torture and his cause of death was listed as asphyxiation. He died October 30, 1968 at age 69.

Tom and Paul Ferguson were later caught and both served prison sentences‘. They were later released, and are now back in prison serving longer sentences for various other crimes.

Ramón Novarro’s star is located on the ‘Hollywood Walk of Fame’. The star is located at 6350 Hollywood Boulevard.
