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 !!!
