Patrik, Age 1.5:
A Swedish gay couple adopt what they think is a 15-month-old orphan, only to meet their new son, a 15-year-old homophobic delinquent

AWESOME!

I’ve been sayng that for YEARS!

Adam Lambert went on CBS’s “The Early Show” this morning after his ABC’s “Good Morning America,” spot got cancelled in the wake of the “controversy” over his AMA performance.

“Sometimes I forget-’Oh, there’s a camera on,’” Lambert said. “I come from the theater….I was looking out in the crowd and saw some of my favorite pop stars and thought–I want to let loose. And it just kinda got the best of me.”

Lambert said there was lot of “very adult” content on the AMAs that night, and that stars like Eminem and Janet Jackson also performed material that could have been viewed by some as inappropriate for younger viewers.

He said there was a “double standard” because he was male and gay and that a female performer would not have faced as much criticism for the same stage moves.

“I’m not using that as an excuse, and I didn’t take any offense with those performers’ choices,” Lambert said. “I’m just saying I think it’s up to a parent to watch the television. It was almost 11:00 at night. If they’re concerned with certain material maybe TiVo it and preview it before your small child is watching it.”

When asked if he should apologize, Labert responded: “I’m not a babysitter, I’m a performer.”

You know whatever you think about Lambert we ALL should support him in this and be VOCAL about it. Because he is 100 percent RIGHT.

SheWired Reports, Canada’s customs officers seized three lesbian and gay-themed films enroute to Canada’s Inside Out LGBT film festival.

While Canada legalized gay marriage several years ago, border officials have formerly, and notoriously snatched gay content as it crossed the border. Little Sister’s Bookstore successfully sued the agency in 2000 after customs’ officials pulled ‘pornographic’ titles intended to be stocked at the Vancouver-based bookstore.

All three films were “Here!” Media releases and included Director Shamim Sarif’s cross-cultural lesbian-themed comedy I Can’t Think Straight starring Lisa Ray and Sheetal Sheth, Adrian Shergold’s made-for-TV Clapham Junction, about a group of South London gay men, and Ella Lemhagen’s Patrik Age 1.5, about a gay couple who unwittingly adopt a teen thug.

Inside Out festivalgoers in Ottawa booed and hissed upon mention of the CBSA.

Goran and Sven have been cleared for adoption and they have a possibility to adopt a Swedish orphan, Patrik 1,5.

(Swedish w/English Subs)

But back at work in London, Tala encounters Leyla, a young British Indian woman who is dating Tala’s best friend Ali.

Friday 11/27 – Clapham Junction
36 hours in the lives of a number of gay men in Clapham, South London.

America’s Best Christian, Mrs. Betty Bowers, calls out Mormons and schools all Americans on the unconstitutional craze of doling out civil rights by popular vote.

Says Betty:

“Being lectured about what constitutes a traditional marriage by a Mormon is a bit like being scolded for loitering — by a crack whore.”

Rex Lee who plays Llyod on Entourage is known for being the common target of Ari Gold’s nasty verbal tirades. Unfortunately, it looks like Lee is also the butt of jokes off-camera as well.

Lee admits there are “occasionally” jokes aimed at his sexuality and ethnicity behind-the-scenes on the HBO comedy.

Lee says the remarks originate from members of the crew. When asked why he didn’t have the guilty parties fired, Lee said, “that’s not the way I work.”

Entourage creator Doug Ellin said that he was “shocked and horrified” to hear whats been happening, promising that he will be “speaking to everybody before we start filming again in March. It’s not something condoned or acceptable.”

He added he already spoke to Lee and that the actor confirmed some crew members made “insensitive gay jokes.” Ellin also said he will fire the culprit if it happens again

A new report by the FBI states that anti-gay motivated hate crimes have increased.

Just read the news.

The report released Monday shows an overall 2% increase in reported hate crimes in 2008. But by GROUPS the largest increase were those motivated by sexual orientation (+11%) and then followed by religion (+9%).

Now BEFORE the Christian Right Wingers spin this to say that they are under attack. The breakdown shows that the majority of Religious hate crimes were in fact anti-Jewish which comprised over 66 percent of the Religious Hate crimes with Christian percentages down in the single digits.

Of the 1,732 victims of anti-religious hate crimes:

66.1 percent were targeted because of an offender’s anti-Jewish bias.
7.5 percent were victims because of an anti-Islamic bias.
5.1 percent were victims because of an anti-Catholic bias.
3.6 percent were victims because of an anti-Protestant bias.
0.8 percent were targeted because of an anti-Atheist/Agnostic bias.
12.8 percent were victims because of a bias against other religions (anti-other religion).
4.0 percent were victims because of a bias against groups of individuals of varying religions

For Sexual Orientation Bias it broke down like this:

Offenders targeted 1,706 victims due to a sexual-orientation bias, and of these:

57.5 percent were victims of an offender’s anti-male homosexual bias.
27.3 percent were victims because of an anti-homosexual bias.
11.6 percent were victims because of an anti-female homosexual bias.
2.0 percent were victims because of an anti-heterosexual bias.
1.6 percent were victims because of an anti-bisexual bias

The FBI does note that NOW with the recent passage of the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr., Hate Crimes Prevention Act, it will “begin the process of adding the collection of hate crimes motivated by gender and gender identity and incorporating them into our annual report.” Which I don’t understand I mean hpw and where were they incorporated into statistics before?
