Sex

CALL NANCY PELOSI and tell her to stop employment discrimination NOW!

ENDA or the Employment Non-Discrimination Act is one of those pieces of legislation that has left me baffled for years for the seemingly lack of support outside of the LGBT activist community. But if the roadblocks that went up during the process of getting the Puerto Rican Amendment into the Voting Rights Act are any indication, the long road for equal LGBT rights has proven to be equally as difficult.

If we can't discriminate against people of a different race, ethnicity, language, religion or even sex, I don't understand why we can't expand the definition of sex to "sexual orientation and gender identity". This should be a no-brainer for every person who gets teary eyed every time they listen Martin Luther King's speech, "I have a dream".

That's why a coalition of LGBT bloggers and allies ( Daily Kos, Open Left, Americablog, Towleroad, Pam's House Blend, Joe My God, Michelangelo Signorile, David Mixner, Daily Gotham, Culture Kitchen, Taylor Marsh, PageOneQ, Dan Savage, GoodAsYou) have bandied up today to ask our readers to call Speaker Nancy Pelosi at 202-225-4965. Ask that the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, HR 3017, move to a vote. This is what Dr. Jillian T. Weiss has to say about today's ENDA blogswarm:

What's in your safe sex bag?

safe sex

CruelSecretary tweeted the following question:

if you cld bundle the perfect safer-sex bag, what wld you put in it? No judgments. Just doing some research...While I do that, answer this: if you cld bundle the perfect safer-sex bag, what wld you put in it? No judgments. Just doing some research...

I responded that in my bag I would have MONEY; especially if it is a date where you're being driven around. You want to make sure you have extra money to leave from wherever you are from a bad date.

Sex is not just about the act. In my book, sex is about a whole set of social practices between two people trying to figure out if they are meant for each other. Even if it is a quickie, one shut fuck, you still go through a whole ritual of social "tics" to figure out if the guy is, well, fuckable.

A lot of those social tics have nothing to do with a penis being inserted or a vagina or anus stimulated. A lot of what goes around the sexual act has to do with getting to the point of feeling comfortable enough with the object of your lustful desire to take your clothes off and go for a sexual ride.

So here's what I would put into a safe-sex bag:

Can we talk about Lindsay Lohan's fashion debut with Ungaro?


I rarely talk about fashion in this blog but after a week of Roman Polanski and John Phillips pervscapades, I think we need to turn our heads to Paris France and look at what's ruffling the feathers of the fashion world thanks to Lindsay Lohan.

Yes, I am making a connection between two rapist pedophiles (one of them also being incestual), an up-and-coming fashion designer and Lindsay Lohan. Bear with me.

When it was announced several weeks ago that La Lohan was going to work as "artistic advisor", the fashion world exploded in disbelief. Tim Gunn, bless him, went on record as saying, “It’s got to be a publicity stunt!” ...“Or a crack-smoking board of directors?”

This was not going to go like Stella McCarthey working for Chloe. Lindsay Lohan's twitter stream is notorious for how it shows her inability to writer properly. This is a girl from the white-collar working class of Long Island with no formal education and a present by a recent regrettable past.

There's the shots of her pantiless crotch while disembarking cars. There's the endless parties drowned in alcohol and cocaine which some say were cover for her mother's addictions. There's the alleged new penchant for meth. There's the bulimia and anorexia. There's the nymphomania. There's the mother trying to shove her down deep into the closet throwing her into the arms of men when she only wanted to be with gals. There's the revolving door rehabbing. There's the promise of a young actor now shattered by her inability to move from child/teen sensation to being an actual adult movie star.

So why in the bloody hell would she be hired for this? On the surface it would make sense to thinkk about the publicty since Mounir Moufarrige, the chief executive of Ungaro has said so himself : his main goal in hiring Ms. Lohan was to generate publicity, he said he also believes she will excite consumers. Yet check out the following quote from the same article (emphasis mine):

Celebrity petition for Polanski equates statutory rape with "a case of morals"

What do I hate more than a Puritan? Prudish, puritanical liberals

Get the guys a friggin' bottle of smell salts. From pandagon.net:

Of course, in doing so, he inadvertantly makes obvious what was admittedly not obvious in the original photo (which I’m not going to reproduce here, by the way): Obama was doing no such thing. In the second photo especially, Obama is obviously committing the sin of failing to avert his eyes from a woman who enters his personal space. I’ll bet a paycheck that exactly what happened is that she dropped something near his foot, reached down to grab it and he watched her to make sure he didn’t have to - oh God, why am I analyzing this bullshit?

As for the first photo, Greta van Susteren debunked the still photo with a video showing no such leering as the young woman walked by, but her “colleagues” at Fox News aren’t having it.

They really have. got. nothing.

I mean, really? One cannot have a laugh like this one at the expense of Barack Obama?

So what's a good time to watch porn-on-demand in Great Britain?

It seems like Sunday mornings, at around 11:16 GMT --that is, if randy Britainers aren't throwing sheep at each other in social networking sites:

BBC NEWS | Technology | Porn putting on its Sunday best

Analysis of viewing figures shows peak demand for FilmOn's "naughty movies" was around 1116 GMT on Sunday.

By contrast, internet analysts Hitwise found that usage of video sites peaked on Sundays but more traditional adult sites experienced a dip.

Sundays, it said, was the top day for visits to internet shopping and social networking sites.

Oh behave, you Great Britain, you.

QUOTES

Q Mr. President, there has been a bit of an international outcry over reports of secret U.S. prisons in Europe for terrorism suspects. Will you let the Red Cross have access to them? And do you agree with Vice President Cheney that the CIA should be exempt from legislation to ban torture?

PRESIDENT BUSH: Our country is at war, and our government has the obligation to protect the American people. The executive branch has the obligation to protect the American people; the legislative branch has the obligation to protect the American people. And we are aggressively doing that. We are finding terrorists and bringing them to justice. We are gathering information about where the terrorists may be hiding. We are trying to disrupt their plots and plans. Anything we do to that effort, to that end, in this effort, any activity we conduct, is within the law. We do not torture.

— George W. Bush
