Jodie Foster Discussed on CNN "Is She Gay?"

Apparently it is a big discussion to figure out what someone's sexual orientation is. I hope that one day in this country SOOOOOONNNN we don't have to worry. I as a homosexual do not think my sexuality needs to be a topic of discussion any more than the next person's should be. If I am gay why do we have to sit around and discuss it? We don't sit around discussing the details of people's heterosexuality and the truth is that there is a lot more to each of these groups than what they do in their bedrooms (or on the couch or the kitchen table or in the swimming pool or.....). The thing is that there are heterosexuals all over this country and others who participate in all sorts of odd behaviors sexually. There are straight people into S&M, swinging, bondage and lists and lists of more. None of them are discussed so heavily, so politically and in such a negative light by the mass public as homosexuals. Why is that? Why is it that homosexuals are thrown to the wolves in such a way? Why is it that despite all of the heterosexuals who participate in alternative sexual acts we as homosexuals are the only group who has to endure unequal treatment and removal of rights, work place discrimination, political exploitation and more when none of the other groups do? It's crazy really when you think about it. I believe in all sorts of things some of which millions disagree with but the one thing I do believe in that ranks above and beyond all of my other beliefs and everyone elses is FREEDOM. I fought for it for God's sake and for America's sake and I damn well expect to have it no matter the cost or result. And until one of those fricking wars we fight affords all Americans TRUE AND ACTUAL FREEDOM I will not support the war. Who ever tells you we fight wars for freedom needs to get off their propaganda high horse and show you how we are all free in this country because I don't see it and until I do I will pacify myself with long blog rants and gratuitous videos about what celebrities are gay and are not.

Hate Music Banned in Brighton

A town in the UK has basically banned what they have loosely termed as "murder music" in their city. Apparently a Buju Banton was playing at a venue in the city and people protested the venue at the city council's licensing committee. The city council is the place where the people of the community can go to with valid complaints against any particular venue in the city so that is what they did. The city is reviewing this "murder music" and how it affects the city and the minorities that the music preaches ill will toward as it relates to things such as inciting riots etc. The goal of the city council is not to prevent free speech but instead it is to protect the people of the community from those who are inciting riots and/or other violence. All of this with good intent which is more than I can say for most cities I've ever lived in. All of the places I've lived haven't had much concern for how things affect any minority until it is related to them in a political "what you will loose vs. what you will gain" sort of way. In America the majority is what counts not the minority and if you are to get something done for a minority you have to show how it will either hurt or benefit (not the majority) but the person/people making the laws.
My point of view on banning what I would call "hate music" as opposed to "murder music" is that the people protesting are not so much worried about what the owner of the venue thinks, or what the city council can or can't do about it - but are instead they are protesting their own fear. Think about it. If you as a group of "targeted" minorities are faced blatantly with the fact that a large group of people is paying upwards of $20 per ticket to attend a concert where a man may sing one or more songs which preach the killing of your kind it would be a bit scary. But when it comes down to it which is scarier that this music is permitted to be sung and sold to the masses or that the masses purchase and listen to it in such a mass quantity. The truth is that if there were not a demand for the music then there wouldn't be a concert in the first place. This says to me that the scarier thing is that a very large group of like minded people who would potentially hate you and plan your ultimate demise are gathering and being permitted to publicly celebrate this thought process and that the scarier thing is not that it is permitted in the first place. First, the truth is that most Christian religions as well as others preach this same thing. How many things in the bible are punishible by death according to the text? Who's to say these people won't unite to make sure that people are punished in such a way? The fact is that these people as a large group have already united to do this to people. That is what politics is these days. These so called Christians vote away the rights of all non-Christians at every opportunity so what is the difference? And if we cannot ban religion when it preaches hate then why would we think we could ban music when it preaches hate? However crazy it seems I am definitely in support of both religious groups and musicians being able to "preach their words" because I think it much more beneficial to have those who hate me exposed as opposed to quietly sitting in their homes planning my demise without my knowledge. If I knew my neighbor was planning my demise I may not be so willing to let him borrow the tools with which to do it by exposing my vulnerabilities to him. However stupid I think hatred and those who display it are, I definitely respect and have less fear of them than those who practice and believe the same hatred without displaying it because they are the one's who will suprise you in the end. So I say let these people be free to preach - sing and say what they want so that they expose themselves therefore protecting those they hate.
