Mexico city legalizes gay marriages while Uganda kills homosexuals

Only seven countries in the world allow gay marriages: Canada, Spain, South Africa, Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands and Belgium. US states that permit same-sex marriage are Iowa, Massachusetts, Vermont, Connecticut and New Hampshire.

 Mexico city is now part of the above group.

Comments from Mexican officials :

“Mexico City will become a centre, where (gay) people from all over the world will be able to come and have their wedding, and then spend their honeymoon here,”

“We are already in talks with some travel agencies that are planning to offer package tours that include flights, hotels, guides, and everything they need for the wedding, like banquets,”

“We are going to become a city on a par with Venice or San Francisco” 

Let us think for a minute.

According to Community Marketing Inc, a tourism research company that specialize in GLBT consumers, the economical impact from GLBT travelers in America alone is about $70bn!!

It is sad that a country, any country, justifies our right to marriage through "Dollars and Cents", something that South Africa never did ( we had other issues at the time)

Yet, I am happy that we came this far. Still a lot of work to be done, don't slack!!

We have brothers and sisters in Uganda, that get HUNTED for being gay. I don't exaggerate. The general public are obliged to report homosexual activity within 24 hours or risk three years in jail. Upon a "guilty" verdict, there is the death sentence.

It's a witch hunt I tell you.

It's murder.

Free Gay Porn and culture.

What a laugh! You ever tried to google that? It's a waste.

Sites like X-tube just waste your cap. And most of the others keep on redirecting you to everything it did not promise. Shitty pictures plastered all over adverts, flashing, begging you to pay $1.00 for a load of crap. Strange that South Africa has so few porn stars, trust me, I've seen some Hunks around town.

Maybe the South African culture is still to biblical in relation to the rest of the world. Over here, the Huisgenoot, or better known as "Huilgenoot" writes about an old lady that became famous for doing pole dancing with a snake when she was young. Now she is old, married, and a reborn Christian, how nice!

Now we can all forgive her, and move on. WTF?

I find it difficult to believe that people could be so gullible as to believe that reading about a former "sinner", makes them holy. Stop the bullshit. Don't you see a pattern?

...and who the fuck do we think we are to judge others?

Joost and Amor, open relationship after a huge scandal, good for you! If it works for you, go for it.

Steve, well, he is Steve. He is GORGEOUS, and sometimes he can sing as well. Not that I give a shit about that. I do not own one of his cd's, but I would do him. It's that thing he does with his eyes. That look. Which look? The one that looks like he's gonna fuck you up, but with a glint of hope that he might just fuck you in a whole other way.

I'll forgive him anything, no matter how many babies he makes with "other women", because I am fickle and whimsical and in general a Steve groupie.

Moving on....

So, what this comes down to is this. Let other people live their lives. Stop building a view from what you read in cheap magazines (well, not alway cheap but you get what I'm saying).

Lift you fat arse out of the couch and start living a life where you could get some exposure to real issues.

Like Global warming, The shitty way the Dalai Lama is being treated. Nigerians whoring our local kids out on the street, crime in general.

Ag, the list is endless. Just don't start thinking that you could judge others for the way they live their lives.

Ok, I see I am writing about everything except for what the topic promises you to read. Typical me, such a Queen.....

Bla-Bla-Bla...

Is South Africa ready for the 2010 World Cup?

Within the next few months, thousands if not millions of people would come to our shores, and make use of our hospitality here in South Africa. Yes, I'm talking Fifa World Cup.

Now it all sounds good. The stadiums are on schedule, well most of it. The police is making a huge effort to lower crime. Is it working? I'm not sure.

I do know that the South African Police Department now has a new policy of "Shoot to kill". And they have fired shots, but killed some civilians in the process.

Makes me wonder....

Yet, I am looking forward to the time of "Ayoba"-ness. The Fifa-event is huge. Roads had to be upgraded. We got the Gautrain, which will hopefully be finished soon because it makes driving a bitch on the highways while the construction is in progress.

Yet, I do believe it's a small price to pay for all the benefits that this event hold.

Now here starts what some may call negative input. I am concerned about the fact that after 1994, when Nelson Mandela became our first President, the country has really lost a lot of it's "shine". Today, there is a thing called African Time.

African time is that whole "Why rush?" attitude. Foreigners just is-int use to that.  They want service, and good service I might add. They have paid a lot of money for their tickets and travels. Will South Africa be able to not lose face in front of the whole world?

It's sad that Bafana-Bafana could not make it into the games on their own accord, and out of merit. They're just there because it's their country hosting the events. It's shames me. They just could never compete on the international circuit.

Some would say it's because of years and years of "recieving" and not working for what they want. That is racism my dear. We cannot say things like that in South-Africa. Whites must feel ashamed of the fact that they brought this country (South Africa) so far in 400 years.

With the recent death of Manto Tshabalala-Msimang, the former Minister of Health, she was remembered for absolutely nothing but the fact that she made her name "Asshole". Her emphasis on treating South Africa's AIDS epidemic with vegetables such as garlic and beetroot, rather than with antiretroviral medicines, was the subject of international criticism. I lost many friends due to her stubborn and idiotic believe in vegetables

Also I hope that all foreigners are in good health, and do not by some mistake end up in a government hospital. It's a death-trap.

Someone said a while back, that it's strange that none of our current politicians are remembered for anything post-1994. They all get accolades for being "Freedom Fighters", many years ago. None of them has really made any significant difference since they had the power to do so. I tend to agree with the critics.

But, lets all hope for the best.

Glove Puppet

I have been an avid reader since my school days, and no book has ever captivated me like a book written by Neal Drinnan called Glove Puppet.

It's starts of with a boy called Vaslav, who has a bit of a sordid past and a tenous future. He was found on a train station by a stranger whilst his mother, a prostitute, died of a drug overdose on the station just minutes before.

The strange man took him to Australia and he passed him of as his own, recently deceased son. Vaslav lived a life of privilege in Australia, as the son of a gay man.

As the boy grew older, he realized that there is still a lot of his previous life lurking in the shadows of his existence. He subsequently initiates a dangerous love affair, one that threatens to destroy him, and all his loved ones.

Glove Puppet is a brilliant novel where love and transgressions, sex and manipulation, collapse upon each other, and where the best intentions yield the worst results.

Does God love Gays?

Pastor say:”God can’t accept you if you’re gay.”

This was what the local Pastor said to me, after I went to see him during this week. I have had a real intense want to meet with God, to find him and build a relationship with him. My issue was not with sexuality.

When did men start thinking that they know the heart of God? When did they receive that chip on their shoulders? I would have thought that the main concern would be to get me to the cross, let God decide if He wants me. I am getting married in less than a month to my partner of three years. I love him. I refuse to think that God would have made me gay, and expects me to live a life of celibacy for the rest of my days.

There may still be a few knowledgeable people who do not believe this, but practically all behavioral scientists now accept this statement as a fact. Down through history same-gender sex was universally considered to be acts by (heterosexual) people who had chosen to engage in perverted sex. Advances in the sciences, particularly psychology, in the last 100 years have shown that not all people are heterosexual; some are homosexual, and their homosexuality is an unchangeable nature, not a choice.
