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 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.
