SyFy Channel's "Caprica" Nonchalantly Includes Gay Married Couple (Video)

The new Science fiction TV series Caprica may be one of the best and most honest portrayals of a married gay couple on television to date. (Which is great because SyFy has a TERRIBLE record of LGBT character inclusion in it's shows)

The Battlestar Galactica prequel features a character named Sam Adama (played by Sasha Roiz) who belongs to an organized crime unit. Last Friday’s episode revealed that Adama is also married and gay. The show revealed this facet of Adama’s life quite casually – highlighting the normalcy of the relationship, rather than approaching it as the central identity of the character or the crux of the storyline.

FINALLY.

Seriously though Joe, the way you are looking lately you should be happy that anyone is checking the goods out. 

Thre REAL creepy and upsetting thing about this video, besides Joe's roid bloat is the fact that Joe uses a soundtrack of pig snorts, whips, and the phrase "Ride 'em cowboy".  Whats up with that?

Barney Frank Plays The Blame Game And Whines About Whiners - Hey Barney! Be A Winner, NOT a Whiner!

Rep Barney Frank insists in a recent interveiw to Michelangelo Signorile. "You don't wait for the president to go out and lobby. The NRA doesn't wait for the president to go out and lobby. … You think the president has a magic wand? [Waiting for the president to force a vote] is exactly why we're going to lose."

Well Barney if you call buying votes and backing candidates with obscene sums of cash like the NRA does when it lobbys I guess we know what our mistakes are now according to you don't we.  Oh and also I suppose that the "magic wand" that Lyndon Johnson used for the 1965 Civil Rights Act has been lost and finding it will soon be the plotline for National Teasure 3?

Barney you are so full of shit.  Old fashioned lobbying of individuals calling Congress and such no longer works.  Politicians do what THEY want.  Not what the people want and you would think after Health Care we would all know that.  Politicians today do not care about the people they care about what THEY can get.  Maybe we should stop donating to Gay Inc. and the DNC and just do what the NRA does and donate obscene sums of money to certain candidates in exchange for thier support.

Is that what Barney Blowhard is REALLY saying?

New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees Strips And Showers For Your Enjoyment (Video)

Drew Brees strips down and showers and gives fans a long look at his Super Bowl body in a new ad campaign for Dove. The Super Bowl XLIV MVP, fresh off a 31-17 win over the Colts, likely needed a good scrubbing after he threw for 288 yards and two touchdowns.  Too bad he's got his boxers on and that Scott Fujita isn't in there with him!

BREAKING; Focus On The Family's "ALTERNATE" Super Bowl 2010 - Tim Tebow Anti-Abortion Commercial That You WON'T See. (And Better Not). (VIDEO)

The Focus on the Family spot that's airing during today's Super Bowl on CBS whilke still being reprehensible in the fact that CBS is still showing it and wil generate MILLIONS to head to the FOF website is, frankly, quite tame, and not the raging pro-abortion ad The Commentariat supposed to have been.

But is it the ORIGINAL COMMERCIAL that FOF wanted to show?

The spot below, which one uploader says was already removed by the group once, is "Version 2" of the Super Bowl spot, we're led to believe. And it paints a much more doomsday approach to deciding whether to keep a growing fetus. (The editorializing on James Dobson at the end is, while true, we assume, the work of its uploader.)

The Prop 8 Trial (Non) Secret That No One Talked About Until Now. - Judge Vaughn Walker Is Gay.

Thats right.  Judge Vaughn Walker, the man in charge of deciding the fate of  Perry v. Schwarzenegger (Prop 8 Trial) is GAY!

This is the biggest NON SECRET of the trial.  Walkers sexual preference was and has been really no secret since well before the trial and it's only NOW that the media is beggining to pick up on it and report it.  Regardless of the fact that  the Prop 8 case was assigned to Walker at random, and Walker has ruled against gays in cases past.  National Center for Lesbian Rights head Kate Kendell thinks the judge's sexuality will likely be brought up by Prop 8 supporters should they lose the case, a notion that general counsel for the Prop 8 side Andrew Pugno denies.  But objections to the ruling if the Prop 8 supporters lose because of the judge's sexuality seem unlikely to get very far legally.  But will be more hyperbole homophobic propaganda.

From SG GATE:

Walker has declined to talk about anything involving the Prop. 8 case outside court, and he wouldn't comment to us when we asked about his orientation and whether it was relevant to the lawsuit.

Many San Francisco gays still hold Walker in contempt for a case he took when he was a private attorney, when he represented the U.S. Olympic Committee in a successful bid to keep San Francisco's Gay Olympics from infringing on its name.

"Life is full of irony," the judge replied when we reminded him about that episode.

And did he have any concerns about being characterized as gay?

"No comment."

Shortly after our conversation, we heard from a federal judge who counts himself as a friend and confidant of Walker's. He said he had spoken with Walker and was concerned that "people will come to the conclusion that (Walker) wants to conceal his sexuality."

"He has a private life and he doesn't conceal it, but doesn't think it is relevant to his decisions in any case, and he doesn't bring it to bear in any decisions," said the judge, who asked not to be identified because of the sensitive nature of the Prop. 8 trial.

"Is it newsworthy?" he said of Walker's orientation, and laughed. "Yes."

He said it was hard to ignore the irony that "in the beginning, when (Walker) sought to be a judge, a major obstacle he had to overcome was the perception that he was anti-gay."

SURPRISE!

6:30 PM - EST UPDATE:

The far-right shit rag The National Review is already calling for Walker to step down. The linked editorial cites Walker's attempt to have the trial televised, then closes with this:

Take Walker’s failure to decide the case, one way or the other (as other courts have done in similar cases), as a matter of law and his concocting of supposed factual issues to be decided at trial. Take the incredibly intrusive discovery, grossly underprotective of First Amendment associational rights, that Walker authorized into the internal communications of the Prop 8 sponsors—a ruling overturned, in part, by an extraordinary writ of mandamus issued by a Ninth Circuit panel consisting entirely of Clinton appointees. Take Walker’s insane and unworkable inquiry into the subjective motivations of the more than seven million Californians who voted in support of Prop 8. Take Walker’s permitting a parade of anti-Prop 8 witnesses at trial who gave lengthy testimony that had no conceivable bearing on any factual or legal issues in dispute but who provided useful theater for the anti-Prop 8 cause. And so on. Walker’s entire course of conduct has only one sensible explanation: that Walker is hellbent to use the case to advance the cause of same-sex marriage. Given his manifest inability to be impartial, Walker should have recused himself from the beginning, and he remains obligated to do so now.

Profile: David Kopay, The First Openly Gay Professional Football Plkayer

What with it being SuperBowl Sunday and all the shit thats going down thnaks to CBS being a bunch of douchebags I thought it would be appropriate to remember Dave Kopay who nearly 35 years ago became the FIRST professional football player and athlete in the three major sports to reveal his homosexuality, sending shock waves throughout his macho and homophobic surroundings.

"It seems now that the sports world is the last protector of the faith to be bigoted and discriminate," Kopay told the Post-Intelligencer in an interview 10 years ago. "It's certainly breaking down everywhere else. We have become mainstream in terms of politics. Maybe (it will happen in sports) in the next 20 years. (Perhaps we should up that number.)

"I didn't think it was going to take this long."

Kopay played for the Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers, New Orleans Saints, San Francisco 49ers and Washington Redskins, retiring in 1972 after a productive nine-year pro career. His private affairs were known to few.

On Dec. 10, 1975, Kopay read the first installment of a newspaper series on gays in sports in the now-defunct Washington Star, a story based solely on anonymous sources. He decided insight was needed. Kopay brashly called Star reporter Lynn Rosellini, daughter of former Washington Gov. Albert Rosellini, and agreed to discuss his homosexuality in print two days later, using his name.

A year later, he wrote a book, "The David Kopay Story," a New York Times best-seller that was updated in 1988 and is headed for a third printing next spring.

"My life is a lot more fulfilled," he said. "One of the things that made me speak out was I felt suffocated. I thought I could do something right."

Kopay once estimated between five and 10 percent of all NFL players were homosexual, numbers that matched the general population at the time, numbers he assumes have increased over the past two and a half decades. Fears of public backlash, endorsement losses and ruined careers, he says, have kept today's football-minded gays in the closet.

"They're so nervous about the sports page," he said. "I remember the letters I got, 'How dare you speak about homosexuals on the sports page!'"

To his face, Kopay never received a negative reaction from former teammates, though he heard some were privately disgusted.

Rick Redman was a Husky teammate and an NFL linebacker, a player known for his conservative bent. He showed support for Kopay.

"I remember the level of intensity and toughness that he showed on the field," Redman said. "From a player's standpoint, I had a great deal of respect for the kind of attitude he brought to the playing environment. When you have that kind of respect for people, the decisions they make in their personal life are often times easy to accept.

"I kind of felt that way about Dave. Coming out took a lot of conviction."

Kopay often travels around the country, fulfilling speaking engagements. When Reggie White, then of the Green Bay Packers, criticized nearly every diverse group in a public forum years ago, Kopay responded with a thoughtful, open letter that was published in the New York Times, refuting each of White's points.

Kopay has advised high school and college football players who have sought him out on gay matters, but there has been no interaction with current NFL members.

Mixing pro football and homosexuality, Kopay often times finds himself a lone voice. He has no regrets. He envisions the day when no one cares about a player's sexual preference.

In the meantime still to this day, Kopay fills the busy role of gay athlete activist. He's a true gay pioneer.

1970's Gay History - The Christopher Street - West Side Highway Piers and Trucks

Greenwich Village in New York City was a homosexual’s dream come true in the 1970's and early 80's.  You could literally walk down Christopher Street and have sex as much as you wanted, anytime that you wanted to. Men fucked on the pier, in the trucks, in alleys and doorways and in bookstores, and bars backrooms, The sex was constant, boundless, free and liberating. This was after Stonewall and Pre-Aids.It was a sexual urban wildernes.  Back then Christopher Street was our version of gay ancient Rome, with the bars and clubs and bath houses that have become infamous in gay culture but also is somehow slowly being forgotten and hidden as if it was shameful and embaressing. Which, it was not.

The "TRUCKS," were parked near the docks on the West Side Highway under the then elevated Highway which is now gone along with the infamous abandoned crumbling “PIERS” where sex could be found 24/7.

During the day the “TRUCKS” were loaded with merchandise and freight unloaded from arriving ships. At night they were parked and empty and the rear of the truck would be left open. The orgies began at around 10pm - 5am, getting busy at around 2am. The area around the parked trucks was empty, dark, and dangerous which heightened the forbidden pleasures found within.

The "PIERS" jutted out into the Hudson off the West Side Highway scattered from Christopher Street up to Chelsea with the most sexually notorious ones being being the closed and no longer in use abandoned ones a few blocks north of Christopher Street.  Gay men would gather and cruise, sunbathe and party on the open docks and then venture into the skeletal remains of the forgotten PIER 48 a rotting wodden structure where sex could be had anytime of the day or the night.
