Try Not to be Closed-Minded

OK...I am the last one to have a problem with fetishes. As long as you are not unconsentually hurting, harming or maiming anyone, I have no issue with what people do sexually. Everyone has some thing tha turns them on beyond compare. But seriously? SERIOUSLY?

This is a real Craigslist posting from my area. WOW!

A Little Redneck Hotness






















Tony Stewart. Always thought he was hot, but now I found this pic of him shirtless, with another big guy grabbing his shirt and flexing. Makes a homo wonder.

Another Step, or March Maybe, In the Right Direction


Celebrating Gay Pride and Its Albany Friend


If there was ever any doubt that gay people form one of Gov. David A. Paterson’s most loyal and enthusiastic constituencies, that doubt was erased on Sunday by the howl of a drag queen on Fifth Avenue.
The drag queen, standing at the foot of the steps to the New York Public Library dressed in a green Afro wig, a red miniskirt and candy-cane-striped stockings, had the duty of announcing the notables marching down Fifth Avenue in the gay pride march.
She introduced Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and City Council Speaker Christine C. Quinn, and the onlookers who had gathered along the parade route politely applauded.
But when she bellowed, “Let’s hear it for the governor of New York, David Paterson!” the crowd roared.
“I predicted a hero’s welcome for him,” Ms. Quinn said. “And I think my expectations have been blown out of the water.”
Few governors have made advancing gay rights as central to their policy making as Mr. Paterson. Even liberal Democrats who have long advocated equal rights for gay men and lesbians, like Mr. Paterson’s predecessor, Eliot Spitzer, have not embraced the gay community so publicly.
In fact, those who walked down Fifth Avenue with Mr. Paterson on Sunday could not recall another serving governor’s ever marching in the city’s gay pride parade.
The most significant move Mr. Paterson has made toward broadening gay rights in New York was an order he issued in May that directed state agencies to recognize same-sex marriages performed outside of New York.
That order built on the policies of the Spitzer administration, which had been planning to issue the same directive before Mr. Spitzer resigned in March. David Nocenti, who was Mr. Spitzer’s legal counsel and now holds that role in Mr. Paterson’s administration, drafted the order earlier this year. It was to be issued once the state’s highest court ruled on a February decision by an appeals court in Rochester that said the state must recognize same-sex marriages performed in other jurisdictions, even though New York does not itself allow gays and lesbians to marry.
The Court of Appeals rejected the case on technical grounds on May 6, and the order went out to all state agencies on May 14.
Earlier this month, on behalf of several state Republican elected officials, a conservative Christian policy group based in Scottsdale, Ariz., sued Mr. Paterson in State Supreme Court in the Bronx to block the governor’s order.
Before he marched in the parade on Sunday, Mr. Paterson defended his order and insisted that a lawsuit challenging it would fail.
“It is the law and it is the right thing to do. I stand by it,” he said. “If someone would like to go to court and waste their money and prove me wrong, they can do that. And I welcome that.”
Sunday was not the first time Mr. Paterson marched in a gay pride parade. He said he attended his first parade in 1976 at the urging of a gay friend and had walked in them on and off ever since.
“Back then, we would march in the back,” he said. “But then we learned that wasn’t cool because you couldn’t hear the music in the back. So we moved up.” He added that in those early years, he did not generate quite the same amount of attention from the crowd.
“I don’t think I’ll be anonymous today,” he said.
As he walked down Fifth Avenue from 52nd to 34th Street on Sunday afternoon, he could not go more than a few blocks without stopping to pose for a picture or accept hugs and expressions of gratitude from paradegoers.
“Thank you, Governor,” said Greg Sengle, 38, as he took one hand off the pole he was using to hold up a giant arch of rainbow-colored balloons and shook Mr. Paterson’s hand. As Mr. Paterson walked away, Mr. Sengle, a technology consultant, added: “I’m tired of being treated like a second-class citizen.”
Assemblyman Daniel J. O’Donnell, a Democrat from the Upper West Side who has become a perennial presence at the parade, said he saw a new role emerging for Mr. Paterson: gay icon.
“The gay community has relied on our straight icons like Judy and Bette,” Mr. O’Donnell said. “And I think David could be one of our icons.”

Event Horizon Approaches

Evening. Since I haven't posted much lately, I figured i would put an update on here for anyone who might be stalking me. We are only one month away form the big move into our newly purchased house. Everyone keeps asking if I am excited. Frankly, no. I hardly get excited. I seem to be somewhat emotionally deficient in that area at least. I will be excited when we are moved in, painted, cleaned and all the details are taken care of, or possibly when we sign and close and get the keys in our hands. I will however be happy when the packing and moving ordeal gets done. I hate all this crap. OK, more to come later.

Things I Hear at Work That you Probably Don't: Take 2

So wonderful night of work last night, even though i got called in part-way through Kung Fu Panda. I worked with some of my favorite nurses, and the pace was slow as far as patient needs, so we got to enjoy ourselves a bit. My bestest gay buddy, and apparently my doppelganger in nursing was there, and we were riding the same cynical, passive-aggressive wavelength all night.
Some of the highlights were:

Nurse Kevin and Nurse Martha while assisting a patient back into bed...
Patient (to Nurse Kevin): You look like a football player
Nurse Kevin: I know I look like one, but I am not....just a nurse here.
Nurse Kevin leaves the room.
Nurse Jasen to Nurse Martha (out of ear-shot of Patient): So I wonder if Kevin is a tight end or a wide receiver?
Nurse Martha (to Patient): So Mr. Patient, do you think Kevin is a tight end or a wide receiver?
Patient: Well I would have to try him out to see.
Hilarity ensues.....and I almost have an asthma attack from laughing so hard

Nurse Martha: Oh my God! Did you see that thing fly by? I think it was a maggot and it grew wings! (we had had a conversation about medicinal uses of maggots earlier)
Nurse Kevin and Nurse Jasen: Every time a call bell rings a maggot gets it's wings!

Respiratory Therapist Dan: So I got a new baby! (displaying a picture of his sweet new Harley Davidson)
Nurse Kevin and Nurse Jasen: (generic sounds of appreciation)
Respiratory Therapist Dan: the best thing about it is when i ride it, no matter how I sit, the vibration just runs up my nuts, and I get a raging hard on. So I get off the bike and go into a bar all boned up.
Nurse Kevin and Nurse Jasen: (generic laughter)
Respiratory Therapist Dan: Lately it has been the only time I get my rocks off. So obviously I ride it when ever I can.

Yes, it was a good night in ICU.

Daddy Indeed


Thank you Perez for this so so true statement.

A step towards equallity

See the article to read all the details, but Bravo for Governor Patterson and the staff behind this monumental change in NYS. One step closer to equal rights, at least as far as the state is concerned. Follow the link for the whole article.

New York to Back Same-Sex Unions From Elsewhere
ALBANY — Gov. David A. Paterson has directed all state agencies to begin to revise their policies and regulations to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other jurisdictions, like Massachusetts, California and Canada. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/29/nyregion/29marriage.html?_r=2&ref=us&oref=slogin&oref=slogin

Overheard and Underwired.

Since I have noticed a blogger out there who seems to think he posts little witticisms based on things he has overheard at work (frankly lame little quips and sad, tired and bitchy commentaries), I thought I would go with that idea but give it my twist. So I present to you...
Things I Hear at Work That You Probably Don't.

Nurse Colleen - "How do you spell werewolf'? W-A-R-E or W-E-R-E?"
Me - "W-E-R-E, and I don't even want to know why you are asking that with the patient's chart open!"
Nurse Colleen - "My patient told me she heard the howling, and that she was afraid the werewolves would get in her room, but not to worry....she was vaccinated against them already."

Patient - "I need my God damn shoes!"
Tech Tracey - "Why do you need your shoes?"
Patient - "Because I can't shit here in the middle of the Price Chopper produce aisle!"

Patient - "I don't feel very well"
Nurse Martha - "What is wrong?"
Patient - " I don't know, I just don't feel well"
Nurse Martha checks the patient's blood glucose, and it is very low.
Nurse Martha -"Your sugar is very low."
Patient - "That must be it."
Patient takes a deep breath, sighs and dies.

and my most recent, and favorite...
Patient "Does he know that shirt makes him look like a faggot?"
This my loyal blogg-stalkers, was in reference to me, wearing a scrub top with tropical fish and dolphins on it, slightly homo, but not pink with lace. My response to this situation was to crack up laughing and I said to Nurse Dawn, who shared it with me...
"The shirt may make me look like a faggot, but the cock in my mouth confirms that I am a faggot."

Yes Pumpkins, unless you work with me, or in health care, I am sure you don't overhear these jewels at your place of work.

Another Wedding!Filed under: Gay Gay Gay > Love Line
We have another celebrity wedding to look forward to now that it is legal for gays and lesbians to get married in the wonderful state of California!
In addition to Ellen and Portia's walk down the aisle, we'll soon see Star Trek icon George Takei and his partner Brad Altman take the plunge, too!
George posted a joyous announcement on his website.
Her says:
Our California dream is reality. Brad Altman and I can now marry. We are overjoyed! At long last, the barrier to full marriage rights for same-sex couples has been torn down. We are equal with all citizens of our state!
The California Supreme Court has ruled that all Californians have a fundamental right to marry the person he or she loves. Brad and I have shared our lives together for over 21 years. We've worked in partnership; he manages the business side of my career and I do the performing. We've traveled the world together from Europe to Asia to Australia. We've shared the good times as well as struggled through the bad. He helped me care for my ailing mother who lived with us for the last years of her life. He is my love and I can't imagine life without him. Now, we can have the dignity, as well as all the responsibilities, of marriage. We embrace it all heartily…For now, Brad and I are enjoying the delicious dilemma of deciding where, when, and how we will be married. Marriage equality took a long time, but, like fine wine, its bouquet is simply exquisite.
Congratulations!
Mr. Sulu rules!

Drive Thru Drag Racing


Totally ripped from www.perezhilton.com




A drag queen robbed a Burger King in New Orleans last week.
The "man" climbed in through the takeout window. He was wearing a dress with matching necklace, a wig with a hair barrette and was shoeless.
The drag queen held the employees at gunpoint while demanding money.
He later exited through the same takeout window.
The suspect is said to be about 6 feet and weighed around 180 lbs.
Authorities believe the thief is most likely a genuine cross-dresser since he had so much attention to detail. The nails appeared to be painted and well-manicured. The necklace matched the outfit. The wig was well made.
This tranny had her shit together!
Oddly enough, the suspect did not cover his face when robbing the Burger King.
Thankfully no one was killed.
If you live in New Orleans, be on the lookout for the thieving drag queen.
She's coming to a KFC or Taco Bell near you!

"Teen sues over gay rights (with links to court documents)
Thursday, January 31, 2008
By David Angier
PONCE DE LEON
A heterosexual high school junior sued the Holmes County School Board on Thursday, claiming she was prevented from peacefully supporting gay rights.
Sixteen-year-old Heather Gillman filed suit in federal court against the School Board and Ponce de Leon High School Principal David Davis. According to the complaint, Davis suspended several students for “expressing their support for the fair treatment of gays and lesbians.”
“I think everybody should be able to support what they believe in and not be punished for it,” Gillman said during a conference call with reporters Thursday. She said she is not expecting any problems from her fellow students over this lawsuit. “Maybe from the administration, but not from any of the students.”
Gillman said she believes gay students could be accepted at Ponce de Leon High School by other students, but not the administration.
ACLU lawyer Benjamin Stevenson wrote in the complaint that Gillman’s cousin, an admitted lesbian identified as “Jane Doe,” complained to Davis about being harassed by students on Sept. 7.
“He explained that Jane Doe should not be gay and she should not tell people she is gay,” Stevenson wrote of Davis. “Defendant Davis also told Jane Doe the ‘gay pride’ was a disgrace to the school.”
Superintendent Steve Griffin declined comment on the lawsuit Thursday, pending review by the district and School Board attorney Brandon Young.
The School Board stated its position on the issue in a Nov. 2 letter from its Young, who wrote that the School Board has no policy that classifies “pro-gay speech” as “inherently disruptive and/or inappropriate for the school environment.”

“The School Board has no policies against pro-gay clothing and symbols or anti-gay clothing and symbols,” Young wrote. “What the Board seeks to enforce is a policy whereby nothing is permitted to be worn on a student’s body that may reasonably disrupt and interfere with the educational process of that student or other students.”
After several students were suspended between Sept. 21 and 24 for “expressing their support for the fair treatment of gays and lesbians,” according to the complaint, Gillman wore a rainbow belt and shirt stating “I support gays” to school for three days.
“Heather’s political expression did not cause any disruption of the school or other negative reactions,” Stevenson wrote, “and she was not suspended.”
Stevenson asked that a judge stop school officials from prohibiting or suppressing students’ rights to express their support of gays.
“Because the Supreme Court has held that students have a right to free speech at school unless that speech disrupts the education process, many administrators think they can just slap the label ‘disruptive’ on anything they don’t like and get away with stomping on students’ First Amendment rights,” Stevenson said in a press release. "


While it is great to see support of gay and lesbian youth, it also never shoicks me that others can be so idiotic and callous to try and porevent the expression of support and solidarity with any group. At least the ruling turned in the favor of equality. Love me some North Florida. The girl will probably be lynched with her rainbow belt by the local good ole' boys.

And Next Up...Viagra


Welcome to my new blog....not much here now, but I hope to begin sharing my innermost thoughts and feelings with all of you complete strangers. Hopefully I will acquire a stalker or two, and have to get restraining orders against them. Potential stalkers must apply on-line for initial consideration. it is very simple, fill out the application, and then if you pass the initial review, you will be sent a three hour personality profile exam, very similar to what Mc Donald's (or any other reputable company) administers to it's potential applicants. After you successfully fit into the mould, we can move to stage three...the interview. Seems like a lot just to stalk lil' ole' me? Trust me, you will love it when you are finally able to lurk around in the bushes and peek in on my very interesting and stimulating life. Well that is about all for now, pumpkins. Blog with you soon.
