I have been doing a little reading on the Stone Wall Democrats joining the Human Rights Campaign by not attending Democractic Fundraisers and that the health care issues, and taxes affect the LGBT community. Really people wake up. Health care issues and tax increases effect us as a whole as American Citizens not just one segement. This goes back to the LGBT Community Leaders that are saying President Obama is not holding up to his election promises to our community.
Didnt we just see a new hate crime legislation go thru the house and will be approved by the Senate after 10 years of fighting? Doesnt President and Obama support Civil Unions and that Marriage should be left up to the states? I mean arent we seeing a sweeping change with a few states legalizing Gay Marriage? Didnt this all happen this year?
This all goes back to American greed. We want what we want and we want it right now! I am a very proud member of the LGBT community but I also dont agree with everything our leaders are speaking out for. People really need to think back on when they made a certain promise to someone to do something but it was absoultely out of their control to do. All of us have done it. So is it right to criticize this administration becuase they are not able to pass or change things over night? I mean really we have gotten a lot from this administration that we havent gotten before. Also didnt this administration just allow Federal benefits to same sex couples?
The LGBT political leaders are forcing us to write to our congress people and demand more and more and more. Do we really want to sound like we are ungrateful for what has happened so far? Open your eyes and start thinking with some common sense. Be grateful for what has happened so far. Do we need to continue our fight? YES BY ALL MEANS LETS CONTINUE TO MARCH, LETS CONTINUE TO PROTEST. Dont allow our voices to be silent again. Lets fight against the conversatism right wing religious groups, but lets not classify religion as the enemy. Not all religious factions are against us. I also am a christian and have fellow christian friends with my views that are straight so its not religion we need to be fighting but the Right Wing Faction of it.
The LGBT community along with other minorities are fighting against hate. Lets not start fighting hate with more hate. Also lets remember we are fighting two wars right now. Lets not be taking away our goverments time about domestic issues away from that untill those men and woman are back home safely in this country.
As for the Dont Ask Dont Tell Law in our millitary. I really do think that needs to be reveresed and very soon. There is no way of knowing the great number of how many Gays and Lesbians are fighting in our armed services but I am here to tell you I can almost bet you its more then 15 percent! It is a great disservice to them for them not to be able to be who they are but they can die to protect yours and my freedoms. Its just plain out wrong!!!!

My email to Perez Hilton
If you are all well aware I made a blog post on how disgusted I was with Perez Hilton and the Black Eyed Peas. Well I am really disgusted with Perez Hilton on how he handled the matter as a gay icon. Well icon might be a little strong.
I sent this email below to Perez Hilton to see if he would respond to his actions and issue an apology not only to the Black Eyed Peas but to the world. Lets wait and see if he responds.
Mr. Hilton,
You are a celebrity that is well known all over the world. Not only are you a Celebrity but you are a gay celebrity. With this you have a responsibility to be an up standing citizen not only for your followers but for the many generations that may look up to you. For your actions that night and after wards were not very mature or to say the least very disturbing.
Your actions by using the word Faggot to one of the band members of the Black Eyed Peas deserves an apology not only to them but to the world for using such a hate based and ignorant word. Then for you to issue a video against theirs and to act like a raving lunatic is totally childish. As a gay man do you see where you totally did your community justice? No you didnt. Its a great disappointment.
Please issue some remarks for your actions. I dont agree with the Black Eyed Peas either. For I feel that they are just as in mature that night as you were.
Thanks for your time.

Lena Nuvo 2
I am writing this as an update to a later post about my good friend Lena Nuvo of Sioux Falls South Dakota. I was stand corrected as far as her retirement.
Ms. Lena Nuvo retired in 2005 with only doing a few special events. Ms. Nuvo will be returning to the spot light at her annual Bash In The Grass This July by announcing that she is coming out of retirement and will be begning to preform regularly in Sioux Falls and other venues.
Sioux Falls is glad to have Lena Nuvo back on stage where her glamour and illusion entertains us all! It will be exciting to see her performing again very soon!!! Scroll down to see the blog about Lena Nuvo to get her link to her new website.

Perez Hilton and Black Eyed Peas
I have told some of you that I would be blogging about this but I had to cool down over the whole situation. They both really ticked me off.
For both groups involved they are celebrities that generation of people including some young kids look up too. They both were in the wrong with this thing esclating to where it is now. The one major thing that really upsets me is that they are both adults and couldnt handle theirselves in that manner.
Perez Hilton for one shouting out Faggot and other slurs towards the Black Eyed Peas is totally wrong. With Perez being a activist for gay rights and for him to use that word towards another human being is just pathetic! I MEAN PLAIN OUT PATHETIC! And for him to call Fergie fugly well thats just plain out chilidish. He got his butt whooped for acting like a kid, and now he needs to act like a man and dust himself off. I seriously would like to see Perez issue an apology for the statement he used not only to the Black Eyed Peas but to the Nation. He totally set us back a few years by stooping to that level. Then to record a video and act even more childish and like a panzy he just totally ruined his image with me. I agree with Perez nobody deserves to be hit but also nobody deserves to be called a Faggot! That is a word of hate and for you a gay male to use that against someone else is just profoundly disgusting!
As for the Black Eyed Peas, what they did is just the same. For them to be role models in the music industry and to act like high school bullies against Perez is just as disgusting as Perez Hilton calling one of them that name I wont type anymore in my blog. You guys seriously need to own up and become adults and apologize not only to Perez Hilton but to the nation for being inmature and acting like school kids.
I dont agree with either side of this subject because it totally enrages me that both parties as high as they are on the celebrity poll would act with such disregaurd to the people that look up to them. Is it ok to teach our kids that calling someone else a Fa**90 is ok? Or is it ok to teach them that if somone writes something about you that you dont like, you can go ahead and start a fight with them, and beat the crap out of them. NO NO NO!
What is really needed out of this whole situation is for both parties to apologize for their ignorance and drop the whole mess. I really doubt that we will see that happen.

Pride Season
Well Pride Season is in full bloom and living it up already for 2009. This has been a great time for homosexuals as a whole. We have seen larger civil rights movements with more people getting involved. We have seen a new Hate Crime Legislation that is going to become law sometime this year. We have seen Marriage blossoming in so many states. Two states in particular were very shocking. California denying Gay marriage and Iowa allowing it. Something whacky is in the air, I think California may need to make sure medical marijuana dosent go through because those people are smoking something!
Pride Season is the time to be proud of who you are. Not so much that were gay but that were strong enough to come out against so much hatered and be who we are. We are just as much Citizens of this great country as anybody else. Funny old slogan. "Do you not prick us do we not bleed, do you not hurt us do we not cry." I seriously think I got that off of Monk or something LOL.
I just want to say enjoy your pride season this summer and be careful. Have a great time and remeber the ones before us that made this all possible. Even though we still have a long ways to go we are finally moving the mountain.
Love ya all!!!
Sheila

New Hate Crime Legislation
Ok its great to hear that the Senate has agreed to make an amendment to allow sexual oreintation to be part of the Hate Crimes Law. Some gay people are upset because we didnt get a separate bill like proposed. All I can say is GET OVER IT! We got it. It will become law.
I really think we need to be happy with the current flow of change that is going on for us. Some would just like to sit down and complain and they are the ones that dont really do anything about it or are in the closet. Trust me I dont dislike closeted homos. I just get tired of hearing most of you ridcule as to how we are being treated when you cant even stand up for yourself!
The new amendment will most likely be signed by President Obama and will become law most likely next year. Some activist are trying to get it before the Congressional Recess in August. Again all I have to say is be glad we got it. It took 10 freaking years people!!! Now lets keep educating people and keep rallying our troops to make our voices louder and heard by many.

Family
I know it can be hard for us to confront family members who just dont understand us. I just watched a family feud today on facebook with a friend and his cousin. It was almost turning nasty but then it was turned around.
One thing that you all need to know its hard when it comes to dealing with family. Remember there are always people out there that love you and support you. They may not have the same blood running through their vains but neither less they love you!!!
Your not alone.....

L:ets Set it Straight!
Now your proably already reading this and thinking ok its just some straight person thinking he can turn Gays into Straight People. WRONG!!! Im 100 percent Homo people. Its time that we set the straights STRAIGHT on some facts.
As you will see from reading my blog I have a lot of different various political views and I am going to start with this right now since its something close to me. To all of my homo friends arent we getting a little tired of Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter attacking us? You damn right we are! The old saying is correct that people who live in glass houses shouldnt throw stones. You know why??? because we will will throw them back and find bigger ones!
Lets start with Mr. Limbaugh. Mr Limbaugh back in 2004 had a conversation with a school teacher on his show about openly gay high students. Rush Limbaugh said that openly gay High School students are trumpeting their sexuality because people know their gay. Well what about the straight High School students who strut their stuff and trumpeting their sexuality about how many chicks they can nail before the end of the year? Or sport season? Come on Rush didnt you trumpet your sexuality in High School? Them Rush Limbaugh goes to say that the gay students are millitants and begging for a fight. Begging for a fight to be accepted? Begging for a fight to not be discriminated or harrassed? Well Mr. Limbaugh if it wasnt for conversative panny waste such as yourself they wouldnt have to be begging for the fight. I mean come on you trumpet your beileifs on the radio waves to lure uneducated red necks to your cause. This is how the Consverative RightWing forms their army becuase they are loosing their educated members by drones. Also to listen to Mr. Limbaugh totally ridcule and wish that President Obama fails is just telling me he is Anti American and wishes America will fail. When will people stop listening to this wind bag? I have no clue.
Then there is my favorite author Ann Coulter. She self elected herself as the new face of the conservative movement that what she beilives is the all American foundation of life. OK and I am Ralph Machio in his younger years. GIVE ME A BREAK! It amazes me as to how much hard earn money is wasted on this persons views. She paid for her education apparently she didnt opt in for the free common sense course.
Shes a very hateful person. I dont understand how somoene could have so much hate and ignorance all at the same time. During the last Presidental Election she called John Edwards a faggot. She faced a lot of back lashing from both sides but apparently to her thats just a slap on the hand.
The more I think about her the more I just want for you to see youselves. Go to You Tube and watch Ann on the View about her new book.
Well good night for now.... Will write more soon. I am still burned up on some un true facts that are being spinned on the Gay Comunity that I will be writing here for a long time to come.
Night All.
