Good morning!

Gotta love it. News from E:

NEWS/ A Drag Queen Named Mama Tits Schooled a Group of Anti-Gay Protesters on God and the Bible

We subscribe to the “if you don’t like it, don’t click it” approach to life. If you don’t like reading about something, don’t click stories about it on the Internet. If you don’t like a certain TV show, don’t turn to that channel. If you think all gays are going to burn in eternal hellfire and their celebration of pride is revoluting to you, DON’T GO TO A GAY PRIDE PARADE.

Which is why we’re constantly baffled every time we see a group of anti-gay protestors with their “GOD HATES F-GS” signs on the sidelines at a gay pride parade (where, it’s worth pointing out, no one is bothering anyone). But these bigots got more then they bargained for in Seattle: They got the a crash course in Christian love by a drag queen named Mama Tits.

“Before I knew it, I was standing t-ts to nose with the leader guy on the megaphone,” Mama Tits said. “I pushed his sign away from my face and hair, because you DO NOT TOUCH my hair. And, it was all I could do to NOT get violent, but I didn’t because once that happens, we all lose.”

Here is her entire speech, transcribed:

…use the Bible to spew their hate, when actually, if they followed by all the teachings of this book that they use to hate, they themselves are sinners. They are wearing cotton-poly blend. That is an abomination. Did you kill your daughters if they had sex out of wedlock? Do you sleep with your wife if she happens to have that time of the month? You’re not even allowed to share the bed with her. Should we stone you for that? Why don’t you read your own book and actually follow the teachings to the letter of God, and learn to support and love.

You need to drop the hate. You are a sad, sad, excuse for a human being. Once you learn to drop the hate, you too can find happiness, because we will welcome you in open arms if you learn to open your mind. Not today, Satan. Not today.

“I wanted [the crowd] to make so much joyful noise to drown out the hate…and, boy did they ever!” Mama says. “The crowd made the walls rattle down on 4th and Pine!…It is always interesting how religious whack jobs misinterpret EVERYTHING in the Bible and bend it to their will to create HATE, when all they are doing is showing their ignorance.”

What you don’t see in the video is the protestors being escorted away. But you might not have noticed anyway, since Mama Tits was the true star here. We don’t usually do this, but we’re making an exception here: YAAAAAS, MAMA TITS! PREACH!

♥♥♥♥♥

Readers: Mama Tits knows what she’s talking about.  Thoughts? Blog me.

Thank so much for your concern. I appreciate it, however, I am perfectly fine. With respect to the “blond” hair, I won’t comment on that. Just know that I take precautions to protect my anonymity. But if you think you see me, please come up and say hello!

Are you wearing your Sunday best? :) I’m donning mine and out to have a grand time. I HOPE you are too!

Good morning!

Although the 44th year of San Francisco Pride officially began yesterday, the festivities started quite some time before. The LGBT community in San Francisco knows how to partē! And the celebration is not just here in our beloved San Francisco. In fact the Gay Pride Rainbow Flag is flying all across the world. Thanks to our awesome president Obama, he has taken the U.S. gay rights revolution global.

Here’s the write from Ctv News.

Obama flying the flag for gay rights worldwide

A U.S. flag is raised alongside a pride flag on the U.S. Embassy a day before the Gay Pride Parade in Tel Aviv, Israel, Thursday, June 12, 2014

WARSAW, Poland — U.S. President Barack Obama has taken the U.S. gay rights revolution global, using American embassies across the world to promote a cause that still divides his own country.

Sometimes U.S. advice and encouragement is condemned as unacceptable meddling. And sometimes it can seem to backfire, increasing the pressure on those it is meant to help.

With gay pride parades taking place in many cities across the world this weekend, the U.S. role will be more visible than ever. Diplomats will take part in parades and some embassies will fly the rainbow flag along with the Stars and Stripes.

The United States sent five openly gay ambassadors abroad last year, with a sixth nominee, to Vietnam, now awaiting Senate confirmation. American diplomats are working to support gay rights in countries such as Poland, where prejudice remains deep, and to oppose violence and other abuse in countries like Nigeria and Russia, where gays face life-threatening risks.

“It is incredible. I am amazed by what the U.S. is doing to help us,” said Mariusz Kurc, the editor of a Polish gay advocacy magazine, Replika, which has received some U.S. funding and other help. “We are used to struggling and not finding any support.”

Former President George W. Bush supported AIDS prevention efforts globally, but it was the Obama administration that launched the push to make lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights an international issue. The watershed moment came in December 2011, when then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton went to the United Nations in Geneva and proclaimed LGBT rights “one of the remaining human rights challenges of our time.”

Since then, embassies have been opening their doors to gay rights activists, hosting events and supporting local advocacy work. The State Department has since spent $12 million on the efforts in over 50 countries through the Global Equality Fund, an initiative launched to fund the new work.

Just weeks after the Supreme Court struck down parts of the Defence of Marriage Act last June, consular posts also began issuing immigrant visas to the same-sex spouses of gay Americans.

One beneficiary was Jake Lees, a 27-year-old Englishman who had been forced to spend long periods apart from his American partner, Austin Armacost, since they met six years ago. In May Lees was issued a fiance visa at the U.S. Embassy in London. The couple married two weeks ago and are now starting a new life together in Franklin, Indiana, as they wait for Lees’ green card.

“I felt like the officers at the embassy treated us the way they would treat a heterosexual couple,” said Armacost, a 26-year-old fitness and nutrition instructor. “It’s a mind-boggling change after gay couples were treated like legal strangers for the first three centuries of our country’s history.”

Some conservative American groups are outraged by the policy. Brian Brown, president of the National Organization for Marriage, calls it “a slap in the face to the majority of Americans,” given that American voters have rejected same-sex marriage in a number of state referendums.

“This is taking a flawed view of what it means to be a human being — male and female — and trying to impose that on countries throughout the world,” Brown said. “The administration would like people to believe that this is simply ‘live and let live.’ No, this is coercion in its worst possible form.”

The American efforts are tailored to local conditions, said Scott Busby, the deputy assistant secretary for the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor at the State Department. Ambassadors can decide individually whether to hoist the rainbow flag, as embassies in Tel Aviv, London and Prague have done, or show support in other ways.

While some gay rights activists say support from the U.S. and other Western countries adds moral legitimacy to their cause, it can also cause a backlash.

Rauda Morcos, a prominent Palestinian lesbian activist, said local communities, particularly in the Middle East, have to find their own ways of asserting themselves. She criticized the U.S. and Western efforts in general to help gay communities elsewhere as patronizing.

“It is a colonial approach,” she said. “In cases where it was tried, it didn’t help local communities and maybe made things even worse.”

An extreme case has been Uganda, which in February passed a law making gay sex punishable by a life sentence. In enacting the bill, President Yoweri Museveni said he wanted to deter the West from “promoting” gay rights in Africa, a continent where homosexuals face severe discrimination and even attacks. In response, the U.S. imposed sanctions and Secretary of State John Kerry compared the policies to the anti-Semitic laws in Nazi Germany and apartheid in South Africa.

In Russia, President Vladimir Putin has waged an assault on what he considers the encroachment of decadent Western values and the government last year banned “propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations among minors,” making it a crime to hold gay rights rallies or to openly discuss homosexuality in content accessible to children. Afraid for their security, some Russian gay advocates try to keep their contacts with Western officials quiet.

The official U.S. delegation to the recent Winter Olympics in Russia included three openly gay athletes. Soon after that the U.S. Embassy in Moscow opened its basketball court for the Open Games, an LGBT sporting event which had been denied access to many of the venues it had counted on. The U.S. Embassy also operates a website where Russian gay and lesbians can publish their personal stories.

Jessica Stern, executive director of the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission, praised the U.S. policy but said there have been missteps along the way, citing a 2011 U.S. embassy gathering in Pakistan that prompted a group of religious and political leaders to accuse the U.S. of “cultural terrorism.”

And in Senegal a year ago, President Macky Sall bluntly rebuked the visiting Obama for urging African leaders to end discrimination against gays. Sall said his country was neither homophobic nor ready to legalize homosexuality, and in an apparent jab at the U.S., he noted Senegal abolished capital punishment years ago.

“The response in the local press was voluminous praise of the Senegalese president, maybe not actually for his stance on LGBT rights, but for effectively asserting Senegal’s sovereignty, yet the two became intertwined,” Stern said.

Busby, the State Department official, denied that increased harassment by governments is ever the consequence of U.S. advocacy, instead describing it as “a cynical reaction taken by leaders to advance their own political standing.”

In some countries, like Poland, the U.S. efforts are a catalyst for change.

The embassy there financed a 2012 visit to Warsaw by Dennis and Judy Shepard, the parents of Matthew Shepard, a gay Wyoming college student who was tortured and murdered in 1998.

A group of parents who heard their story were so shaken by the Shepards’ tragedy that they founded a parental advocacy group, Akceptacja, which is fighting homophobia. The parents are now reaching out to their lawmakers personally, in what advocates say is the conscious adoption of an American strategy of families of gays and lesbians appealing to the hearts of officials.

“The killing of Matthew Shepard represents the fear I have that my son could be hurt for being gay,” said Tamara Uliasz, 60, one of the group’s founders. “I realized that what happened in Wyoming could happen here.”

Readers: I applaud Obama…And as usual there are some who are against this. Thoughts? Blog me.

So hey, back to the celebration…If you’re feeling a little envious that perhaps you’ve missed out on so much fun, no worries it’s not too late to indulge in the celebration –  today is the Pride Parade, and if you haven’t been, it is something to see.

Good morning!

A Girl says: Yes, many men do look the other way when a man is abusing a woman. And yes, there are exceptions, but, as I stated, I am not counting on men changing. I am counting on the women to step up and woman up.

That being said, since you posted about this rock star, Aaron Lewis,  being an exception, (Bravo to Lewis for standing up and calling out the sick pieces of shit) I’m going to run with what you said about men only listen to other men, and post this write that I found the other day while surfing the net, written by Zaron Burnett, and HOPE that men will read and heed this man’s advice.

A Gentleman’s Guide To Rape Culture

Readers: What do you think? Will Burnett’s words inspire men? Blog me.

PS: It is Primary Election Voting day. I’m counting on all of you getting out there and doing your duty.

Peace out.

Good morning!

To those who say, “Oh my god, I had no idea,” here’s more proof that the murdering rampage that Elliot Rodgers went on is no isolated incidence, but something that is very common.

From Think Progress.

Chilling New Website Documents What Happens To Women Who Reject Men’s Sexual Advances

A woman attacked with acid. A teenager stabbed to death. A woman raped and beaten. Women smashed in the head with bowling balls and glass bottles.

Those are real life examples of violence that women have experienced after they rejected the sexual advances of men — when they refused to flirt with them, dance with them, go on a date with them, or have sex with them — being collected by a new Tumblr page called “When Women Refuse.” The recent mass shooting in Santa Barbara, which was perpetrated by a young man who wanted to punish the women who weren’t attracted to him, is the latest example of a tragedy that fits this profile.

“We still don’t view gender based violence as a large cultural issue — we tend to think of these as isolated incidences,” Deanna Zandt, the co-founder of the digital strategy group Lux Digital and the feminist activist who started the Tumblr, explained in an interview. “We still don’t view it as a larger problem within rape culture.”

After news broke about this weekend’s shooting rampage, Zandt said that many of the men in her social networks were quick to assume that the perpetrator, Elliot Rodger, represents an extreme outlier. She wanted to do something to help people realize that what happened in Santa Barbara is actually all too common, thanks to our culture of violence and misogyny against women. So when she noticed the writer Kate Harding collecting similar news stories on her Facebook page, Zandt decided to house them on a public site, and “When Women Refuse” was born.

The site took off. Twitter users were quick to share it under the hashtag #YesAllWomen, which has emerged as a space for women to share their own personal experiences with violence and misogyny in the aftermath of the shooting.

“There’s been a really positive reaction from both men and women,” Zandt said. “I think it’s been really eye opening for many people. The most common response has been — ‘oh my god, I had no idea.’ ”

Thanks to the online tools that are now available to feminist activists, social media users are increasingly taking the opportunity to drive conversations about victim-blaming and gender-based violence. Earlier this year, feminists used Twitter to amplify women’s experiences with rape culture — a concept that was once relegated to the feminist blogosphere, but that has recently gained recognition in more mainstream circles. Now, the coverage around the Santa Barbara shooting has put a spotlight on the “Pick Up Artist” (PUA) community, which has a long history of treating women like objects that men are entitled to.

“The fact that this conversation is happening now is a huge indicator of the structural connectivity work that online feminists have been doing for years,” Zandt noted. “We’re in a different place than we were five years ago… We’re creating a space for these discussions.”

*****

Readers: I posted this write because as I said, stories need to be told and heard so that we women will shout “Enough!” And come together in support of each other.

Zandt noted that “We’re in a different place than we were five years ago… We’re creating a space for these discussions.”  I realize her intentions are good….Although I HOPE that she is creating a space for more than discussion, because we need a clarion call to action, to ALL women to “woman up!” – Thanks Janet!

I HOPE to hear from more of all you Wonderful Women Of The World. Got to go….Blog me. Lots of LOVE to all of you.

Peace out.

Good morning!

Adopfo: I agree with you. Let me expound a bit. I found the comments from yesterday’s write interesting. I guess I’m not taking this gifting thing too seriously – I’m seeing only the positive. Yes, he/she could give his/her workers raises. Perhaps he/she has. We don’t know who this person is or what other donations he/she makes besides hiding envelopes of money in different cities, and leaving clues for others enjoyment.

The way I see it is it is his/her money and he/she is entitled to do what he/she wants to do with it as long as it doesn’t hurt others in the process. What right do envious people have to make judgements?  Even if he/she is doing it to get Twitter membership, at least it is giving away money rather than just using hyped up advertising.

I also don’t think that the right to suggest that there may be other reasons other than altruism involved in his/her donation should be criticized either, since it is his/her money and the donor should get to choose how he/she donates his/her money.

Of course, there is still a good chance that Bill hit it right. It is just a means to get people to sign up to Twitter. But as I said, it is his/her money. Besides if people felt that way, they could join just for the hunt and drop Twitter when it was over. The option would be theirs if they thought it was just a business decision. However, at least there is a bit of happiness going on because a lot of people in SF already have Twitter. Let them enjoy the largesse.

I’m just delighted that someone is getting creative, having some fun, and others get to experience a little fun in their lives too, and benefit should they be the lucky one to find the funds. I see nothing wrong with the whimsy. Better to read this than read about another millionaire who is only trying to get more and could care less about helping someone out. I quite like the idea.

And if someone in SF doesn’t like it, then don’t go looking for the money. If you are not in SF, you’ve got no say since what right do you have to tell someone who can benefit from something you can’t, they shouldn’t. It is the height of hypocrisy since you are in no position to make the sacrifice for the principle you are asserting they should adhere to.

And it doesn’t bother me that he/she asks that you tweet it. I mean he/she can’t make you. If people really don’t want to tweet, and expose who they are, they don’t have to. But I bet they want to and do because they enjoy the recognition.

Since he/she is not revealing him or herself, in my opinion, no ego is getting stroked when no one knows who he or she is. I rather like that the donor wants you to post your excitement in being the lucky person. It makes it more believable that people are actually finding the money, and no doubt inspiring to others who are looking to get in on the fun. I enjoyed reading the clues and seeing the tweets of the happy faces. What’s not to like?

Can we just appreciate the gift and not knock him/her because we are guessing that he/she’s not doing more, when we really don’t know anything about this person.  Why not think the best until someone proves otherwise. Think Positive!

Sometimes, it is the little things in life, (like hunting for money and finding it!) that can make someone’s day, week or month. All they want is perhaps to be recognized or given HOPE that there good in the world and something good can happen when a little effort is made. This donor has made that possible.

I guess I just see it differently.

Well…enough said. Onto today’s write.

Tina: Since you asked, this will be the first of a series I will be posting.

How the NSA Can Get Onto Your Computer

Many of the NSA’s programs revealed in the Snowden leaks describe the agency’s ability to target specific pieces of software.

But as The New York Times and others reported earlier this year, there is a suite of programs, codenamed QUANTUM, which allows the NSA access to a much wider variety of computers.

We had security expert Ashkan Soltani break it down.

QUANTUM is a multifaceted surveillance tool.

Documents released by Snowden suggest that QUANTUM encompasses several technologies that together offer different pathways into computers the NSA chooses to target. For example, a program called QUANTUMHAND, is thought to allow the NSA to disguise itself as a Facebook server in order to get onto a user’s device.

Facebook has stated the company found “no evidence of this alleged activity.”
