PITTSBURGH SHOOTING 

~SQUIRREL HILL~

For me personally this is a double hit.

Anti Semitism and homophobia hand in hand.

Attacked by the ‘squatter in the White House’.

‘First Amendment Defense Act’ …. “FADA …. be informed …. it’s coming …. “!!

~~December 23, 2016~~ 

‘FADA’

Would Be ‘Devastating’ for LGBTQ Americans

Yes, it would be devastating!

After all the work, advances and attained goals, with this simple bill, the beginning of discrimination against a group of the American fabric would be openly and brazenly attacked and stripped of their human rights.

We must stand up and fight!

Earlier this month, Senator Ted Cruz of Texas and Senator Mike Lee of Utah, through his spokesperson, told Buzzfeed they plan to reintroduce an embattled bill that barely gained a House hearing in 2015. But this time around, they said, the First Amendment Defense Act (FADA) was likely to succeed due to a Republican-controlled House and the backing of President-elect Donald Trump.

FADA would prohibit the federal government from taking “discriminatory action” against any business or person that discriminates against LGBTQ people. The act distinctly aims to protect the right of all entities to refuse service to LGBTQ people based on two sets of beliefs:

“(1) marriage is or should be recognized as the union of one man and one woman,

or (2) sexual relations are properly reserved to such a marriage.”

Ironically, the language of the bill positions the right to discriminate against one class of Americans as a “first amendment” right, and bans the government from taking any form of action to curb such discrimination – including withholding federal funds from institutions that discriminate.

FADA allows individuals and businesses to sue the federal government for interfering in their right to discriminate against LGBTQ people and would mandate the Attorney General defend the businesses.

Thoughts for today, #424 …. “Insulting Bumper Sticker …. Had to be Trump’s …. “!!

~~October 19, 2016~~

TRUMP BUMPER STICKER

We continue to see the hate, bigotry, xenophobia that has been a product of the presidential candidate for the GOP.

Advances have been made in many of the social issues that have been in contention for many years.

This is one that touches me very personally.

Too close for comfort.

There’s no way that I can stand with this particular ‘man’.

I know my choice!

My main concern now is what could happen after November 8th.

An open Pandora’s Box, of this caliber, is very hard to close.

Xenophobia is the fear of that which is perceived to be foreign or strange

Xenophobia can manifest itself in many ways involving the relations and perceptions of an in-group towards an out-group, including a fear of losing identity, suspicion of its activities, aggression, and desire to eliminate its presence to secure a presumed purity.

Homophobia is dislike of or prejudice against homosexual people

Homophobia encompasses a range of negative attitudes and feelings toward homosexuality or people who are identified or perceived as being lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT).

It has been defined as contempt, prejudice, aversion, hatred or antipathy, may be based on irrational fear, and is often related to religious beliefs.

‘RAPE CULTURE’ …. “Which one is worse: the event or the aftermath? …. “!!

~~September 14, 2016~~ 

RAPE CULTURE 

Brock Turner only spent 3 months in jail because Judge Persky cared more about his future than justice for the survivor.

To defeat #rapeculture we must understand it.

weareultraviolet.org/rapeculture

In feminist theory, rape culture is a setting in which rape is pervasive and normalized due to societal attitudes about gender and sexuality. There is disagreement over what defines rape culture and as to whether any societies currently meet the criteria for a rape culture.

Behaviors commonly associated with rape culture include victim blaming, sexual objectification, trivializing rape, denial of widespread rape, refusing to acknowledge the harm caused by some forms of sexual violence, or some combination of these.

The notion of rape culture has been used to describe and explain behavior within social groups, including prison rape, and in conflict areas where war rape is used as psychological warfare.

Entire societies have been alleged to be rape cultures.

Evidence suggests that rape culture is correlated with other social factors and behaviors. Rape myths, victim blaming, and trivialization of rape have been found to be positively correlated with racism, sexism,homophobia, ageism, classism, religious intolerance, and other forms of discrimination.

The number of women who have been raped in the United States is huge, and many argue that ‘rape culture‘ is the reason so many get away with it.

But what is Rape Culture, and how does it contribute to these shocking statistics?

AJ+ breaks it down, including some examples from Cee Lo Green, Daniel Tosh, and more.

Something to think about …. “Homophobia and Homosexuality …. “!!

~~February 29, 2016~~ 

CARE TO ANSWER THE QUESTION? 

Homosexual behavior in animals is sexual behavior among non-human species that is interpreted as homosexual or bisexual. This may include sexual activity, courtship, affection, pair bonding, and parenting among same-sex animal pairs.

Research indicates that various forms of this are found throughout the animal kingdom.

As of 1999, about 500 species, ranging from primates to gut worms, have been documented engaging in same-sex behaviors.

According to the organizers of the 2006 Against Nature? exhibit, it has been observed in 1,500 species.
