I'll Continue Being a Gay Man, Thank You!

Greek islanders want to be LesbiansThree natives of the Greek island of Lesbos are suing to prevent the gay-rights group Homosexual and Lesbian Community of Greece from using the word "lesbian" in their name because, they say, it "insults the identity" of islanders. One plaintiff, Dimitris Lambrou, said, "Our geographical designation has been usurped by certain ladies who have no connection whatsoever with Lesbos." MSNBC/Associated Press (4/30)

Mario Lopez Makes Debut On Broadway in ...

... A CHORUS LINE

There's basically only one role he can play in the spirit of the script: the gay Latino boy two or three from the right in the movie version [and on stage, I think].

Come on out, Mario!

And Then There's The Alleged Pregnant Man

I have always hoped that people would accept me as me, a gay man.
And I've tried to do the same with transgender people, but I don't understand them any better than a straight person understands me.
Now we have this: a female-to-male transgender who CHOSE to keep her female internal organs while changing all of the external stuff.
[From what I've read, all transgender people go through hell financially, emotionally and physically changing EVERYTHING when making the leap from one gender to the other.]
In this Pregnant Man thing I see a person who KNEW/HOPED he/she would get all of this media attention and perhaps was hoping to make money off his/her mutilation of his/her body.
I find that incredibly sick and pathetic.

And then there's THIS LINK:

AND THEN THERE'S THIS ADDITIONAL COMMENT [after reading emails from others]:
If she/he is really convinced that she is a man trapped in a woman's body ... once she/he jumped genders and became a man ... he/she can no longer function as a woman including bearing children. Since he/she has chosen to bear a child after the gender-jump ... he/she is NOTHING MORE THAN A WEIRD CIRCUS SIDE SHOW!

I am very angry about this situation because back in the 90's when I was a gay activist, transgenders insisted on being in the GLB acronym even though they generally claimed they are not gay ... yeah, right - this couple are gay activists.

And since I am happily and proudly gay [a "G" in what's now the GLBT acronym] I'm taking great offense at this PG Man thing because I want absolutely nobody to associate me with THESE GAY PEOPLE.
