Thats right Sheila is picking up her things and relocating to the Quad Cities. I am very much looking forward to this move and will be leaving Sioux Falls here in a day or so. This is why I havent been blogging in the past few days because I was preparing for my move.
I will miss Sioux Falls, but I am very much looking forward to living in the Quad Cities. The reason for this move is becuase my partner Link Putang has family in the Quad Cities and they are looking for more people to help with the human rights cause there. Also we plan on getting married next year in May or June. I will be sure to let you know of the date as soon as we get one concrete.
Once we get moved and settled in I will start blogging again, which should be on Friday. I have been doing a lot of reading and keeping up with what is going on, so Friday there will be a lot of blog posts.
To my readers I am very sorry for this delay but as you all know, moving is a hiddious task and is not fun!!!
I will also be recording episode 3 of the show at the begining of August!!! Be on the watch out for it!!! Remember Sheila is going to be true to herself in this episode!!!
I will be writing soon!!! Love ya all!!!

Rush Limbaugh Lied about Lying!
Ok I was reading the Drudge Report and low and behold was a story on my good friend Rush Limbaugh. GAG ME WITH A SPOON that man is getting fatter by the day!
Well in this report from the Heritage Blog it was stating that Rush Limbaugh admitted to falsely saying that President Obama didnt know what was in the new healt care bill.
Apparently this all went on during a bloggers call that President Obama held and a blogger wrote back from his recording of the call that Mr Obama did list off things that were in the bill he was accused of not knowing or has said.
Well anyway I am not going to into the whole details I give you a link and you can read for yourself. Just glad to see my wind bag friend is still around and didnt have a stroke from talking and eating too much!
Here you go read the whole story click here
This Link might not work long , I couldnt get the websites share feature to work right. Well untill tomorrow Good night all!!
Facebook Shuts down Group
Facebook today took away thousands of peoples 1st Amendment Rights and shut down the Bryce Faulkner group that was on Facebook to bring awareness to is dissapearnce.
There has been a new group started today, just go to facebook and in your search bar on facebook type in Bryce Faulkner. It shows up as the first group.
Read more by checking out his story on this blog.
Sarah Palin In Hot Water Again
Ever wonder why all of our politicians are always facing legal problems? I mean these people are suppose to be our law makers and they have no clue what the law is. Maybe this tells me that we have too many laws controlling too many things.
Well Mrs. Sarah Palin is making headlines again for another ethics violation. They are claiming that she used her political position as governor in trade for legal advice.
What Palin did was created a fund for a legal trust. Apparently her attorney is defending her in creating the fund saying that people in her position needs to have legal representation to defend them against unjust causes.
OK what about our legal representation for unjust causes? This just shows us how the goverment wants to keep sticking it to us in the rear.
I really dont care for this woman and she better think twice about running for president in 2012 because she will be slammed all over the media again. She has more issues then Bill Clinton!
Obama and Jeans
Now you tell me that some writers dont have anything to write about when its all over Yahoo news that President Obama wore some blue jeans to throw out the ceremonial pitch at the All Star game in St. Louis.
I mean come on there are much more important news out there then the President wearing jeans. I mean hes our Commander and Chief so why cant he wear what he wants too? This just proves again that the conservatives are out to destroy any kind of free thinking or free will and they want to make the President double think what he puts on before leaving. Everybody raves about Michelle Obama and her attire. Maybe Michelle needs to dress the Prez before he leaves the White House from now on.
Sheila to some of the news people.. "GET A DAMN HOBBY!"

Paula No More on American Idol
I know I know I know.. Sheila was a little upset too when I read that Paulas contract is not up for renew with American Idol. They asked would you watch the show,and I SAID NO WAY! I mean she has been the more nicer one of the judges that has a lot of experience. Why would you not keep her on the show?

Thinking Back
Well people Sheila has been thinking back to her persona birth and was wondering if I would be successful as a Gay Rights activist and political pundit. Sheila almost thought about just throwing down the wig and give up writing here, and deleting the show.
BUT SHEILA WOKE UP! All the emails I receive and now the Facebook enteraction shows that people are listening to what Sheila has to say and writes. Which tells me I am helping in the cause in making this world better for the LGBT Community and having fun doing it.
I have also been doing a lot of reflecting about life in general. Do you ever think sometimes that you dont have a purpose or feel that the purpose your doing is not enough? I think we all get that way sometimes and its always great to sit back and retroflect back on things and sort them out. One thing that I can never get a grasp on though is all the hate in our world. Things would be so much better for every person around the world if there wasnt so much hate and ignorance.
Well I will be doing more blogging here in the future as I am not going anywhere, and will be recording episode 3 of my online radio show here very soon!
Love ya all!!!
Good Night!

Help Save Bryce Faulkner
I just want all of my readers know that this is a very serious subject and needs immediate attention by all, including the media. I also want to let you know that some of this blog wont be verbatim but some of the wording will be the same when it comes to describing what kind of young man Bryce Faulkner is and what his family has done to him. I am hoping this young mans story touches you to help in the fight to save Bryce from extremist and his family. YES he needs to be saved from his Family.
Have any of you felt that you needed and wanted your families support so much that it made your heart ache and that you would do just about anything to please them? We all have, but have you been brow beaten and threatened that you will loose everything such as your car, your home, your loved ones, your self? Unless you changed who you were? Its a feeling that hits you in the gut so hard that you almost cant breathe. Well this happened to a young man by the name of Bryce Falkner. The reason it happened to him was because he was gay. YES his family threatened to take everything away from him because he was gay. Threatened to disown him, take his money, his schooling, EVERYTHING AWAY from him because he was being true to himself and deeply loving another. Well if you think that is bad it just gets worse. Keep reading as a small section below will describe Bryce's story. The next two paragraphs are a description of Bryce's story and his current situation. Some of this wording comes from the site http://savebryce.ergonomicalministries.org/. I dont usually quote anybody else writings but I dont want to have any misunderstandings or misinterpretations of this young mans situation, because he needs our help severly!
Bryce Faulkner is a bright young pre-med student who, like many in college, was totally dependent upon his parents for survival. His car, his cell phone, his education, even his job was all connected to his parents purse strings. Bryce was making plans to come out to his parents, but before he had the opportunity to carry out these plans, his mother found his email password and discovered communications between he and his lover Travis Of Green Bay, Wisconsin. As any person from the south, especially those whom have a conservative fundamentalist family and has come out of the closet knows, the family can become quite volatile in their reaction to the news. Bryce is no exception to this. In order to manipulate Bryce into accepting "treatment" for his homosexuality, they took away everything and left him the choice of becoming homeless and destitute or going into therapy. As anyone can imagine, this wasn't much of a choice. Being in the closet in a small town left him no one to speak to or to seek help to get him through the transition from the closet and into the light of day. His family took away every resource he had and left him with no phone to call for help, a car to drive to any help that might be out there and no money to even take a bus to Wisconsin to be with his lover. The program he is going into is a 14 month program, one of the most severe and intense of these kinds of programs.
People it is worse then that! Bryce has now been missing for 33 days! No contact with the real world or his lover Travis. I really don't think we could imagine what Travis is going through right now. How would you feel if you had your lover snatched away from you with out knowing truly where he was at, how he was being treated, not being able to talk to him and then told that Bryce dosent want anything to do with him anymore! This came from Bryce's mother Debra Faulkner. Mrs. Faulkner stated that Travis can communicate with Bryce thru her. He will not be allowed to talk to Bryce. He can give her the message and she will then bring it back to Travis. Come on people now she is also stating that Bryce is not at this treatment center but with family. However nobody has seen him, nobody has phsyically talked to him on the phone, thru email etc. Now dosent that sound like shes hiding something? Well shes not going to admit it.
She has threatnened Rev. Brett Harris who created the site to help Bryce with a law suit if he didnt remove the site. Rev. Brett Harris is in this fight until the end and will not remove the site. I don't blame him. Now you cant hate Mrs. Faulkner for this, but what you can do is feel pity and sympathy for her as she has been brained washed by her church and her parents stating that Homosexuality is a sin. Remember I dont preach hate on my site and I try not to say that I hate things or people, but there is a time that you just get so passionate about something espically to an injustice done to another human being like this. I also feel what Bryce proably felt when his mother found his emails and he was outed.
See Sheila's heritage is Southern Baptist. OH YES !! My families roots are from the south and when I was outed to my mother when I was 18 it wasnt a plesant experience. Sheila is a devoted loving christian. I love God and Jesus Christ, and I know now that they love me too!
My mother made me go and talk to my familys minister. This was a very unpleasant experience for me. I was always worried at that age about me going to hell because of my sexuality. I was terrified of it. So to sit there across the table from him and hear him reading scripture to me and saying I was going to hell for who I was until I changed my ways, then will I be saved. I left there in tears and was scared for my life. I went home and cried for days and didnt leave or go to work for 3 days. I just couldnt go outside. So I went back to being "straight" (How can you go back being straight if being gay is not a choice) so some of you could only imagine what I was going thru. Well I found help from a gay friend who I knew was a christian that went church once a week. Talking to him almost on a daily basis was helping me cope for my so called sins. Well a few months later I fell on hard times and had to move back home. I really didnt talk to my mother that much like I use too, and she could tell I was hiding something. I wasnt really hiding anything because I just totally swore off relationships at the time but yes I was feeling uncomfortable there. I would go to work and then come home and shut myself in my room. I would cry silently and have Wyonna Judd playing in the back ground. If it wasnt for that music I would of lost myself, if you know what I mean. Then one day I came home and nobody was there and there was a letter on my bed in an envelope. I opened the envelope and as I was reading I just started balling trying to read the rest of the letter as it was saying that I am her son, and why she dosent understand my wanting to be gay she was ok with it because all she wanted was for her son to be happy. God helped open my mothers heart and mind that he loved all of his children. My mom was praying a lot and she felt that God was urging her to do some researching and talking with people. She did that. She proved that she loved me. I was so thankful for that. Now me and my mother are best friends again, and she is going to walk me down the isle for my wedding next year. I just hope that when we do get Bryce out that he knows that God loves him, and as for Mrs. Faulkner I hope you can open your heart to hear God's actual word and feel his passion that he has for all of his children and to know that Bryce is not abnormal that he is still your same young boy that you gave birth too. Bryce needs your support not your hate!
I hope I am not getting off subject here but I want you readers to understand why Bryce proably made the decision he did to go into this kind of treatment. He is scared, feeling lost, feeling that he is an abomination and is doomed to go to hell unless he gives up his true self and denies that he loves Travis. Then for Travis to feel the desparity of not being with his true love not being able to communicate with him, and to hear form Bryce's mother that Bryce dosent want to have anything to do with him any more? Its just not right. Bryce is a legal adult and should have his voice heard. He should be allowed to be who he is, and who God made him to be.
When Bryce's parents found out about Travis, Bryce was already preparing Travis that he was going to need him and for him to support him and to continue to love him because he was going to need him. Then Bryce dissappears to this so called treatment? People Bryce didnt go to a church that nothing bad is going to happen to him. Bryce went to the most extreme treatment centers here in the USA. They are very brutal and severe in their treatment. Bryce is not with a group of people that loves him. He is with a group of extremist that hate him for who he is. They would rather see him gone then to allow him to be gay. Of course what the Faulkners did is not illegal (unless they physically forced him which there is no evidence of that yet) but its just wrong and its wrong in Gods eyes as well.
If being a homosexual was such a big sin why wasnt it in the Ten Commandments? Why didnt Jesus comdemn it when he walked the earth? One thing that the bible does say is an abomination is eating shell fish. You dont see these groups trying to shut down Red Lobster do you? I am totally serious in this. We need your help. Travis needs your help. We need your help in saving Bryce from these extremists. There are mulitple centers like this in the USA and they need to be outed to the media. We need attention to be brought to this cause.
I am joining this fight not to just fight but to wage war against these conservative extremist. I am not going to stop untill we are heard and these centers are not allowed to operate because the people will be educated and the people will shut them down!
So join Travis and all of his freinds and Sheila Putang in the fight to save Bryce, and reunite him with his true love. When you hear the phrase even if its jokingly that God hats faggots you need to step up and speak up against that person for saying such hateful and un true words.
Join us on Facebook on the group friends for Bryce, and sign the guest book on Rev. Brett Harris site http://savebryce.ergonomicalministries.org/ .
His mothers address is on the site please send her cards, and letters of sympathy, and also pray that she dosent get frowned upon from God because she is judging. NO TRUE CHRISTIAN WILL JUDGE ANYBODY FOR ANYTHING! Its not our right to judge. Its not up to these groups to hand out God's Judgement! That is in the bible. Only God will judge on that day. Its not up to these groups to save the world by judging and changing people. We need to let them know that the true christians wont stand for this.
If you happen to see Bryce or know Bryce Faulkner and have talked to him recently please email Rev. Harris at savebryce@ergonomicalministries.org because right now his mothers statements of him being with family is not founded. Nobody and I mean NOBODY has heard or seen Bryce in the last 33 days now going on 34.
Please watch the video that was made by friends for Bryce.
Please pray for Travis that he keeps the strength to keep fighting until his true loved is free.
I wont stop until Bryce is heard from and seen by people that arent going to judge him and enforce his parents lies.
My partner has sent emails to Oprah and other media people in hope that we can bring this to the Nation! We will also be making phone calls and writing letters. We hope you do too!
This isnt just a LGBT fight! Its a human morality fight!
Join me on Twitter, join the facebook group and lets get the word out. Post flyers in your town. You can find pictures of Bryce on the website above. Lets make this a great fight and a fight against the dishonesty of Gods words. Lets save Bryce before he is physically destroyed thru mental distress!
Remember that nobody is allowed to talk to Bryce, nobody is allowed to talk to anybody but his mother. His mother then will be the 3rd party relay. This is not right. We dont truly know what is happening to Bryce now at this moment. So please please Join us in this fight to save this young man.

Episode 3 Coming Soon Sheila Will be True To Herself
I just want to let everybody know that Episode 2 was touching a very sensitive subject with me dear to my heart and I dont think my dialogue was smooth becuase I was trying to be politically correct with my words.
I preach and teach against ignorance and sometimes get very passionate about the subject and can be fiery with my words. Well your going to start seeing more of that Sheila. Why I do feel that we got our point across in episode 2 I just want to set everybody straight that in episode 3 Sheila Putang is going to be true to herself and speak from the heart which is my passion.
Straight forward to the point, and yes fiery. I might have to change the rating of the show to adult for episode 3 but so be it. I want to make sure my point is heard loud and clear!
I will be making some new blog post this week and not promoting my show on my blog like I have lately. I have noticed that lot is going on and Sheila feeling a little fiesty and creative. So be on the watch out becuase this bitch will be typing away here in the next day or so!!
Love ya all!!!!
Episode 2 on Human Equality
Well I just want to say thank you to all of you that listened to Episode 1 of our show. I have had great feed back from all of you listeners.
Tonight we will be recording episode 2 and focusing on Human Equality. The show of course will be entertaining and informative and directly to the point. We will be visiting some Facebook groups where I have been reading some very ignorant comments from some of course un educated people when it comes to the LGBT Community. We will also be having a special guest host with us tonight. Megan Bunger. Megan is 21 and is from Sioux Falls South Dakota. Megan is straight but has a large amount of gay and lesbian friends. When I hear Megan talk about gay rights she is really passionate and considers it her fight as well. We just love Megan.
Well get ready to listen to the show. We will be advertising it to let you know when it goes live tonight for your listening enjoyments.
Also I have been having a lot of people ask me how do they get on my show to discuss certain topics such as Prop 8. Well just send me an email and lets see what we can do.

Family Groups Against Hate Crime Bill But Continue To Teach Hate
South Dakota and other Federal Family groups are up in arms over the new Federal Hate Crime Bill that is expected to be on the Senate Floor this week. They are saying the bill dosent allow them to be able to teach against Homosexuality. What they are wanting to say it wont allow them to teach hate to their younger generations.
What makes me think on this is that proably none of these people dont have a gay child. If they did would they continue to keep this beilief. Do they really want to allow people to kill people because of their sexuality? Do they condone this? Obiviously they do!
It saddens me as a Gay Christian to see so many church groups against protecting basic human rights. They say it hurts their family values. Why does it hur their family values? Being Gay is not contagious. Its not going to rub off on their spouses or their children. Being Gay is in a persons genes when they are born. It has been sceintifically proven. Yet they want to keep preaching hate against the LGBT community.
One comment from a Christian Family Rights supporter was that the LGBT community uses schools as our breeding ground or instituation. A breedin ground for what? ! This person obiviously dosent get out much and is full of hate that he cant see the picture.
One thing that these groups dont realize is that there are Gay Families. Gay loving, law abiding families that raise their kids to make their own deicsions and teach them right from wrong.
I went to the Dakota Voice website that is for Pro Families and guess who they are advertising for??? Ann Coulter. ENOUGH SAID!
Activist Up In Arms Over Bruno
The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) claims Cohen uses every negative gay stereotype in his portrayal of outrageous Austrian Bruno, and leaders feel executives should make amends for the movie's depiction of homosexuals by adding a positive message at the end.
You know this was the same kind of amends that is on the begining of Queer As Folk. Of course not all gay and lesbians represent their selves this way but why is it so main stream? Ellen De Generes made a comment on one of her shows when a youngster was murdered because he was gay by stating that we should stop making fun of ourselves. Stop telling gay jokes etc. Its not a laughing matter and is being seen by the world that we dont take ourselves seriously. I totally agree with you girl!!!
But I also have a flip side opinion when it comes to movies and shows. I know everybody is going OH NO SHEILA!!! OH YES I AM!
I also think that the comedies and joking on movies and sit coms kind of help break the ice to some straight people letting them know that Gay and Lesbians are fun to be around and are just as normal as they are. Take Will and Grace for example. I mean come on you have your stereotypical gay man Jack and then you have your stereotypical white rich woman Carol who drinks and flirts with any available men she comes into contact with. You dont see the womans groups or anybody else up in arms over that? DO YOU??
In short site of all of this. If we start making too big of deal of minor things such as movies and sit coms I strongly beilive that it will hurt our cause in the long run. We really dont want to be seen as a minority but we do want equal rights as everybody else. I am really feeling that some people in the LGBT Community have too much time on their hands or their not being stirred in the right direction. I will keep saying this untill I turn blue in the face. WE NEED to see more acceptance education in Diversty fairs and in the media. I mean come on Alabama had a segeration law for LGBT people and just reveresed it. I just glanced at that today and will be doing more reading on it to let you know what I think about it.
I really would like to hear your comments so please leave them here on my blog or email me at sheilaputang@yahoo.com.
Love ya all !!!
Over It
Ok as you all know I wrote Perez Hilton a little while back on his actions and how he used the F word and its the one you all think I am talking about. Its the one that is negative to towards gay men. Well I am totally over it and know that Perez knows deep down in his heart that he was wrong and wont admit it.
Its ok then now we move on.
