Forum on : Homosexuality - (USA)
Last week’s Quote of the Week was from Oscar Wilde. And all of a sudden, someone said Oscar Wilde was a homosexual which is true. Then the discussion started to be not about the quote but about Oscar Wilde, sexuality and homosexuality in general. So, this week is about this Taboo : Homosexuality. I’m looking forward for your opinions, and please remember that your comments will be moderated but not censored. Thank you! Related posts: Forum : What do you see when you stare at a blank w

980 (112). Central do Brasil / Central Station (1998, Walter Salles) - (USA)
Screened Sunday July 26 2009 on Sony Classics DVD in Brooklyn, NY TSPDT rank #966 IMDb Wiki The Sundance aesthetic was vindicated – at least in terms of awards and box office – by this Sundance Labs project that announced Brazilian cinema’s resurgence in the late ’90s (culminating in 2002’s City of God ). This story of the unlikely bond between selfish city dweller Fernanda Montenegro compelled to help lost child Vinicius de Oliveira find his father in the countryside becomes a

Planned Parenthood despises parents - (USA)
By Judie Brown on August 07th, 2009 Planned Parenthood despises parentsThere’s something very sinister about an organization that uses the word “parenthood” in its name and then makes every effort to ensure that parents have absolutely no say when their minor daughters seek to use birth control or abort their grandchild.Right now in Alaska, true to form, Planned Parenthood is using its alleged concern for minor children’s so-called privacy rights as a pathetic excuse for opposing parental

INDIA: Icons go out of style - (USA)
. NEW DELHI / The Times of India / Life & Style / People / August 9, 2009 By Sreemoyee Piu Kundu Gayatri Devi’s pristine presence, Leela Naidu’s serene sensuousness, Meena Kumari’s tragic eyes and Madhubala’s million-dollar smile — these fashion icons put India on the beauty map of the world. But, were they the last of their kind, let's explore... In the dim starlight of her plush South Delhi home, 72-year-old Maharani Gita Devi of Kapurthala is every bit a portrait of aristocratic

Religious Homophobe - Fired! - (USA)
We live in a society which is secular, where we are governed by the rule of law, and those working in the public sector are expected, regardless of their personal beliefs, to treat everyone equally, and not to discriminate. Yet Graham Cogman decided that being a Christian licensed him to abuse the responsibilities inherent in free speech, his job description as a police officer, and ultimately the ruling of a previous disciplinary tribunal. He had threatened his employer with a tribunal for reli

Warum kultureller Pluralismus bei der britischen Polizei nicht erwünscht ist - (USA)
Die schwule Lobby hat wieder zugeschlagen, dieses Mal in Großbritannien. Dort wurde ein Polizist vom Dienst suspendiert, weil ihm offensichtlich nicht ganz bewusst war, dass er britisches Recht und nicht die Gesetze seiner Kirche durchzusetzen hat: The complaints against PC Cogman stem back to 1995 when a gay colleague sent emails round to staff encouraging them to support Gay History Month by wearing a pink ribbon. Auszeit! Was um alles in der Welt ist ein “Gay History Month“? Lesbian Gay Bisex

History of Makeup - (USA)
History of Makeup by Amy NuttPeople may be surprised to know that makeup, despite all of its complexities, isnt something that was invented in recent times. In fact there is a long history of makeup that has led it to the point where it is today. Pharaohs and great queens of Egypt wore makeup thousands of years ago and while it wasnt composed of the same materials, they still used it in similar ways as people do today.Museums will even show how makeup has been around for an incredibly l

Interesting Case: Is Incest OK? - (USA)
Coming out of the EU is the case of a German brother and sister who are suing for their right to continue as husband and wife. Patrick Stuebing, 31, and his sister Susan Karolewski, 23, have four children together - two of which have disabilities. The couple's lawyers claim that the law forbidding incest is an "infringement of the fundamental right to sexual self-determination, and thus unconstitutional". While the couple claim that they didn't meet until they were adults and subsequently f

Does This Purple Mink Make Me Look Gay? The rise of no homo and the changing face of hip-hop homophobia. By Jonah Weiner AP Kanye West In August, 2005, three weeks before his nationally televised declaration that “George Bush doesn’t care about black people,” Kanye West made a statement he’d later describe as braver and more difficult than his attack on the White House. Hip-hop, he told MTV, was supposed to be about “speaking your mind and about breaking down barriers, but everyone in hip-ho

To cure honour killings ‘cancer’ - (USA)
Islam is obsessed with women’s sexuality The National Post Almost as soon as news broke that the murders of three Afghan-Canadian teenage sisters and their father’s first wife in Kingston, were possible “honour killings,” some in the Muslim community reacted in the most predictable fashion: defensiveness and denial. Instead of voicing outrage at the murders, two Muslim callers to my CFRB radio show in Toronto slammed me for raising the subject, and suggested I had some hidden age

Good Riddance to Bad Pseudo-Feminism - (USA)
Do you know Bidisha? Just "Bidisha" - like me, she is too pretentious for a surname. It's one of the things we actually agree on. Bidisha is a novelist and a frequent contributor to he Guardian and the Observer. I enjoy her angry, hyperbolic columns a lot. They are a flashback to dogmatic 1970's style feminism, but written with all the vitriol and the fanaticism of youth. I think society needs people like Bidisha. For entertainment value, and to kick dumb, disrespectful, chauvinistic males in th

Barbara Probst Solomon: Love, Politics and The Media - (USA)
Being a writer, not a politician, I am giving a pass to the obvious political implications in Governor Mark Sanford's disregard for his obligations as governor in not letting his staff know his whereabouts. In this particular piece my emphasis is more on the way women are depicted in these media aired sex scandals. For some time I have been pondering in my mind: what will happen when a woman politician, since women now are beginning to fill important posts, in our culture of intrusive tran
