MIAMI School Board Votes Against Recognizing LGBT History Month   

MIAMI School Board Votes Against Recognizing LGBT History Month   

Featured, Gay News Domestic & U.S. Politics, , ,

Via Politico:

“The Miami Dade School Board on Wednesday night struck down a proposal that would have recognized October as “LGBTQ history month” out of concern that it would violate the state’s Parental Rights in Education law, known by opponents as “Don’t Say Gay.” Miami school board members passed a similar resolution acknowledging LGBTQ history month in 2021 by a 7-1 vote but found themselves in a different situation this fall under the Parental Rights in Education law. Although the board’s own attorney said the recognition was on a solid legal footing, board members voted 1-8 against the idea after dozens of parents and community members raised their opposition at a marathon meeting. “I do believe this is in direct violation of our parental rights bill,” said board member Christi Fraga, who voted against the measure.”

LGBT History Month begins in October in the United States

Judge Rejects “Stand Your Ground” Defense In Florida Bashing Of Gay Couple After Pride Event [VIDEO]

Judge Rejects “Stand Your Ground” Defense In Florida Bashing Of Gay Couple After Pride Event [VIDEO]

Back in 2018 we reported on four men who attacked a gay couple following the Miami Beach Pride parade hitting them repeatedly and calling them anti-gay slurs.

On Friday Circuit Judge Ariana Fajardo Orshan declined to dismiss the battery charges against Juan Carlos Lopez and three others who’d been charged in the high-profile. The four were charged with battery under Florida’s “hate-crime” enhancement, which increases penalties for committing a crime “with prejudice.”

The decision concluded a three-day hearing in which the four men sought immunity under Florida’s Stand Your Ground self-defense law. The controversial Florida law, passed in 2005, gave judges greater leeway to dismiss charges, and eliminated a citizen’s duty to retreat before using force to counter a threat. Prosecutors said Lopez attacked the men after Rene Chalarca accidentally brushed him coming out of the bathroom.

In his ruling Friday, Fajardo cited surveillance footage that showed the incident, saying nothing in the video “demonstrates that the defendants were in fear for their safety.”

Almost four years and NOW the case is going to trial? How is this justice for the victims?

MIAMI: Lyft Driver Pulls Out Gun, Tells Passenger He Wants to Kill All Gay People

Featured, Gay News Domestic & U.S. Politics, , , ,

A Miami man says on a recent ride his Lyft driver pulled out a gun, used homophobic slurs, and said he wanted to kill all gay people before assaulting him and throwing him out of the car.

NBC Miami reports :

Andres Berreondo didn’t think twice when he ordered a ride on Lyft Thursday afternoon, which is something he says he usually does.

But this time, he didn’t know if he would make it out alive.

“I can tell he was with an attitude, and even from the beginning with this bad energy,” he said.

Berreondo said he noticed the driver was not following the GPS maps. That’s when he says the man snapped – calling him homophobic slurs.

Then he says he pulled out a gun and told Berreondo, “I want to kill everyone that is gay.”

In tears and in fear for his life, Borreondo called 911.

After about 10 minutes, he says the man finally stopped the car, hitting him as he forced him out.

“I start getting scared and somehow he stops,” he said. “He pulled me out like that and kicked me in the leg, I get out of the car.”

Lyft released the following statement: “The safety of our community is Lyft’s top priority, and the behavior described here is unacceptable. There is no place in the Lyft community for discrimination or violence of any kind. As soon as we were made aware of this incident, we permanently deactivated the driver. We have been in contact with the passenger to offer our full support, and stand ready to assist law enforcement with any investigation.

>Miami police is investigating the incident.

 

Gay History 1965 - WATCH: Disturbing Anti-Gay Grade School Lecture by Head of the Miami Vice Squad: "Don't be gay or else!"

Gay History 1966 – WATCH: Disturbing Anti-Gay Grade School Lecture by Head of the Miami Vice Squad: “Don’t be gay or else!”

Featured, Gay History, Gay News From Around The Globe, , , , ,

In a documentary program called “The Homosexual” that aired on WTVJ in Miami in 1966 Florida Detective John Sorenson of the Dade County Sheriff’s Department of Morals and Juvenile Squad terrorizes an auditorium of 8th graders on the dangers of “turning queer.”

Detective Sorenson warned his audience:

There may be some in this auditorium. There may be some here today that will be homosexual in the future. There are a lot of kids here. There may be some girls that will turn lesbian. We don’t know. But it’s serious, don’t kid yourselves about it. They can be anywhere. They can be judges, lawyers; we oughta know we’ve arrested all of them. So if any one of you have let yourself become involved with an adult homosexual or with another boy and you’re doing this on a regular basis you better stop quick because one out of three of you will turn queer. And if we catch you involved with a homosexual, your parents are going to know about it first. And you will be caught; don’t think you won’t be caught. Because this is one thing you cannot get away with. This is one thing if you don’t get caught by us, you’ll be caught by yourself and the rest of your life will be a living hell.”

Sorenson also once, stated “I would rather see any of my children dead than homosexual… and for that reason I feel there is no cure and because of the complete degenerecy of these people. They appear on the surface to be respectable, but they’re the lowest forms of people.”

By now Det. John Sorenson must himself be dead and that is just fine with me.

 

Rapper Busta Rhymes Busts Out In Anti-Gay Slurs At Miami Beach Burger Joint

Busta Rhymes anti-gay

Rapper Busta Rhymes, (aka Trevor Tahiem Smith Jr), , has spoken out in the past in support of gay artists and rights , telling MTV News, “I think the whole world is ready to accept whatever people choose to be in life,” when R&B artist Frank Ocean came out.

But that wasn’t the case the other night when Rhymes flew into an anti-gay slur-filled tantrum in Miami Beach early Wednesday morning at the restaurant Cheeseburger Baby hurling homophobic slurs at the restaurant employees  and the owner because he wasn’t allowed to cut in line for a a burger of have it “his” way.

Stephanie Vitori, the owner of  Cheeseburger Baby, said that Rhymes and his entourage got belligerent when the restaurant refused to take their order before others waiting in line — then Rhymes flew into a rage when condiments were served on the side, calling one server a “fag” and Vitori a “bitch.”

Vitori said the restaurant was slammed as usual after South Beach clubs let out, but “one of [Rhymes’] crew came in and said, ‘Can you take my order first? We’re very important people.'”

Cheeseburger Baby employees declined. “It doesn’t matter who you are, its first come first served,” Vitori said.

But despite being served his to-go bag within 10 minutes, Rhymes became enraged that his mayonnaise, ketchup, salt and pepper were included on the side and after an employee explained the policy to the 40-year-old rapper, he allegedly put on his mouth grills and screamed, “Fuck you, fag! I’m not leaving until I get ketchup, mayo, salt and pepper on my burger,” and he began coming over the counter screaming. “Fuck you, bitch,” at Vitori.

All that “over putting ketchup, mayo, salt and pepper on a burger? For real, you can’t open up a mayo and ketchup packet? It’s not right. I’m a gay business owner, and you don’t use that term. It’s degrading.”

Vitori called police but Rhymes left before Miami Beach Police arrived, but Vitori says she filed a report — and then had to call police again after a member of Rhymes’ party called later to say the rapper would be returning. But he never showed. Officers stayed at the restaurant until staff closed up.

Rhymes’ publicist has made no public comment about the incident at this time.

BUSTED! – The Not So “Blue Collar” GOP Aquaman Marco Rubio

Featured, Gay News Domestic & U.S. Politics, , , ,

During his parching SOTU response speech, GOP Sen. Marco Rubio made a big deal about his “blue-collar neighbors” and “still living in the same working class neighborhood (he) I grew up in.” 

Well turns out that Rubio’s neighborhood is only blue-collar if you compare it to Mitt Romneys.

Rubio who lives in an upscale Knots Landing cul-de-sac has recently put his humble shack on the market for $650,000.00 and the only blue-collar workers are the gardeners and housekeepers in his McMansions hood.

Marco Rubio’s current net worth is $3 Million dollars.

Romney Holds Campaign Stop At Convicted Coke Smugglers Fruit Stand In Miami

Events, Featured, Gay News Domestic & U.S. Politics, Religious Morons and Anti-Gay Idiots, , , ,

Mitt Romney spoke at a campaign event at a El Palacio de los Jugos fresh fruit and vegetable stand with Sen. Marco Rubio in Miami, FL on Monday knowing that the business owned by a convicted Colombian cocaine smuggler.

In media reports in November 1997, Bermudez (the store owner) was identified as one of 12 people accused in a Colombian drug smuggling operation. The arrests followed a seven-month investigation led by the FBI and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Agents seized about 2,850 pounds of cocaine at three South Florida ports over several months. Agents first seized 430 pounds of cocaine at the Port of Palm Beach in July 1997 and then 117 pounds in late September at the Port of Miami. Those shipments were concealed in containers filled with fish imported from Trinidad, an island in the south Caribbean. The largest and final seizure came in late October at Port Everglades, where officials found 2,304 pounds of cocaine in a container of soap imported from Venezuela

Bermudez told the Miami New Times that the Secret Service vetted everything about him when the Romney campaign asked to use his fresh fruit and vegetable stand and that they knew about his criminal record.

Romney also filmed a campaign ad at the store.

Well Mittens does love companies that outsource.

 

“Gay Matchmaker” Paul Angelo Calls Bottoms “Unhealthy”. Guess Who’s A Bottom?

Featured, Gay News From Around The Globe, , , , ,

Paul Angelo, a self professed “gay” matchmaker from Miami has this to say about gay guys who like to “bottom”:

“Receptive anal sex decreases self-esteem by forcing the person to assume a submissive position during an act of pleasure. This confuses the brain to believe that a feminine-like behavior is appropriate for a man and in turn reduces the man’s assertiveness, confidence and will power.”

Really now?  So much of a gay matchmaker is she and knowledgeable about gay men she’s ever heard of a “Power-bottom” or “Butch bottom” But it gets better. Ms. Paul herself IS A BOTTOM.  And those who have piledrived her have let it be known that it was not Ms.Pauls first time and nor was it any good.

So since it seems that Paul Angelo is talking about her self-deprecating self lets hear more Ms. Helium Heels has to say

“The worse part about this destruction of self-esteem is that it’s on the subconscious level. A person will not feel anything during the act. And the pleasure derived from the act will override the logic necessary to correct the behavior. In addition, there is a delay between the act of anal intercourse and the reduction of self-esteem of the person.

If you were to put all gay men together in a big warehouse and place the ‘bottoms’ on the left and the ‘tops’ on the right, you’d start seeing negative consequences of the anal sex play out in real life for the bottoms such as: disrespect for their general health, failure at work, failure in love and relationships.”

You know its bad enough when bad enough when Republicans or the KKKhristians speak out of their asses about gay life, but now we have one of our own talking this inspidly stupid shit because she sucks in bed and has to project it onto the rest of us that’s just sad.

Paul Angelo not only are you a lousy bottom.  And a shame to the LGBT Community for spreading such santorum. You are an asshole to boot.

Get some therapy Blanche and a Jeff Stryker dildo and practice, practice, practice.  Because not only is the the way to get to Carnagie Hall  but its also the only way you are ever going to get laid again after this utter bullshit.
