Struggle to against the Proposition 8

Gay couple won't let Proposition 8 steal their dream



"Two men who moved from Ohio to California
to marry continue to protest the measure's passage"
By Alexandra Zavis (L.A.Times)
December 21, 2008


Fearing taunts and disapproval, they kept their love hidden for nearly two years. But with the Nov. 4 election looming, Christopher Lewis and Cody Horton resolved to take a leap of faith.

Following in the footsteps of generations of adventurers and romantics, the shy young couple from Ohio announced they were heading west to marry and begin a new life in California. They put on dark suits and exchanged vows on an unseasonably balmy afternoon in late October, before family, friends and the wide Pacific Ocean.

Wanting to give back to the state that recognized his union, Lewis took a job as a physician's assistant at a community health center in Tehachapi, southeast of Bakersfield, caring for migrant farm workers. But by the time they had packed up their apartment in Ohio and returned to California, voters had approved a change to the state Constitution that put their marriage in doubt.

Before they moved here, the self-effacing couple had never even seen a demonstration, much less protested themselves. But two days after the election, they drove two hours into Los Angeles and nervously joined the throngs marching in protest against Proposition 8. The next night, they were back on the streets in Long Beach. The night after, in Silver Lake, then Westwood and downtown L.A.

"It just hurt so bad; it's all we could think of doing," Lewis said. "It's all we have left."

They are pessimistic that the California Supreme Court will overturn the ban, despite the high-profile appeals by top politicians, including state Atty. Gen. Jerry Brown.

"I did send a wedding picture to the chief justice and wrote a note on the back of it asking him to share it," Lewis said. "Hopefully, if they see enough faces, they will realize that their decisions make a huge difference."

Lewis, 24, and Horton, 20, found each other online during one lonely Christmas vacation in 2006. Horton was in his last year of high school in Middletown, Ohio. Lewis was studying to become a physician's assistant at Kettering College of Medical Arts, a Seventh-day Adventist school in nearby Dayton.

"It was awful," Lewis said. "We had to take religion classes, and they teach being gay is wrong."

He started searching MySpace pages for anyone listing themselves as gay in the Dayton area. A song posted on Horton's page (Say Anything's "Slowly, Through a Vector") caught Lewis' attention, and he left Horton a message. They chatted online, then agreed to meet at a club. Later, they went to the home of Horton's grandmother, who was out of town. They put on a movie, and Horton put his head on Lewis' shoulder.

It felt right, Lewis said. "We felt like we fit in each other's arms."

At first they met in hotel rooms. "Where else could we go to hug or hold hands?" Lewis said.

After Horton graduated from high school, they found jobs so they could afford an apartment together. But they continued to hide their relationship from most people. More than once, passing motorists shouted abusive comments as they walked down the street together. Some real estate agents refused to show them single-bedroom apartments.

Earlier this year, Lewis bought the nicest ring he could afford -- white gold with three tiny diamonds -- drove Horton to a park and proposed. They hugged and cried. But they could not make the union official.

The only state at the time that performed same-sex marriages was Massachusetts, which requires a couple's home state to recognize such unions. But in May, the California Supreme Court ruled that it was unconstitutional to ban same-sex marriage, a decision that did not have the same limits as Massachusetts' law.

Lewis and Horton, thinking there was no rush, began considering a California wedding. In September, realizing that Proposition 8 might pass, they went online to book a Long Beach restaurant and find an officiant.

Horton's father did not realize his son was gay until the invitation arrived. Horton's stepmother tried to persuade him to attend the ceremony; she said he walked away and wouldn't look at the card. He later apologized to Horton for missing the big day and awkwardly wished his son well.

Lewis has been estranged from his father for years and did not bother to invite him. But both mothers and Horton's grandmother flew to California for the Oct. 26 wedding.

The day itself passed in a blur. But leading up to it, the thought of standing on a public beach, in front of people they had lied to for years, filled them with dread. For days, they had practiced the perfect wedding kiss: long enough for photos, but not too sloppy. In the end, they managed only a quick peck. Yet for all the awkwardness, it was a day they treasure.

"In a lifetime we both spent with no support for any of our relationships . . . it is so great to stand up in front of your friends and family, the state of California and the Pacific Ocean, and have somebody recognize it, appreciate it and celebrate it," Lewis said. "That's a huge deal for people like us."

Back in Ohio they packed up and began the drive west. The first four days were like a honeymoon. But Nov. 4 found them at a hotel in Flagstaff, Ariz., watching election returns. Lewis slept fitfully, waking up twice to check on Proposition 8. By 7 a.m., it was clear it had passed. "It was the end of our last hope," Lewis said.

Horton was asleep, so Lewis slipped into the bathroom to cry. He then called his mother from the car.

"They just took away my marriage," he wept. His mother's advice was to fight.

They abandoned plans to visit the Grand Canyon and drove straight to Tehachapi, a rural community known for its apple orchards, wind turbines and maximum security prison. They pulled into a bleak apartment complex and collected their keys.

The magnitude of what they had done fully set in only when they got their Internet connected and looked up how their neighbors in Kern County had voted. Just over 75% voted in favor of Proposition 8.

"It is not an accepting environment," Lewis said.

They spent the night under a comforter on the oatmeal-colored carpet. The next day, they spread sheets of yellow cardboard on the floor and started writing: "Marriage license: $70. Wedding ceremony: $1,000. Plane tickets for family and friends: $2,700. Our wedding: priceless."

"It's liberating to take everything you feel every day and put it on a poster," Horton said, "and hold it up and say, 'I don't care who sees it.' "

Unthinkable even a few months ago, Lewis now has organized a protest himself.

When he found out that the American Academy of Physician Assistants, a professional association to which he belongs, planned to hold its annual conference at San Diego hotels owned by the Manchester Financial Group -- which donated $125,000 to help pass Proposition 8 -- he sent letters to senior officials at the academy, asking them to reconsider, and posted messages on Internet forums, urging colleagues to do the same.

All he could think of was how much money the conference would bring the hotels.

"It just kind of pushed me over the edge," he said. "Somebody has to put their neck on the line, and I was willing to do it, I guess, this time."

Credit = achievement

How to Trust Your Trust
"A quiet confidence. An inner certainty. A knowing deep within that all is well even though it may not appear so on the outside. Trust demands that we let go of fears, worry, doubt and despair which drag us down. Trust lifts us up to higher elevations where we see the bigger picture in life and know that things are happening for a reason in their own time and for our own benefit, if only we will believe this and not interfere"

When we settle into a space of trust we access our inner guidance system; we know what to do, when to do it and when to wait. We know that the ideal people and circumstances will serendipitously manifest into our lives. We may not trust everyone we meet or every situation we come across, but we trust our inner knowing. We listen to our intuitive voice that rests in stillness, guiding us to our highest path. When we let our small self or ego mind run the show we override our inner knowing. We don't trust it. It's as if we're saying to the Universe:
I know how to manage the earth, the sun, and all the planets in the cosmos.

We forget that there is a universal intelligence, a creator, source or whatever you call that divine essence guiding everything from the plants to the planets, including us, if we will allow ourselves to trust. It's a matter of releasing resistance and letting the stream of life flow through us.



Insights
* On a scale of one to ten, with ten being high, what would you rate your current level of trust (in terms of trusting how your life will unfold)?

* What supports you to tune into your inner knowing, and to increase your level of trust?

* What gets in the way of you accessing your inner knowing and being more trusting?

Inspiration
* Close your eyes and become fully present and centered by brining all of your awareness into the center of your head, a few inches back from your forehead. Rest in this place until you sense an inner stillness and expansiveness. From this centered space, tune into your essence of trust. Feel the energy of it and allow it to expand, filling your whole body. Release any resistance or holding on sensations and allow the trusting feeling to blanket you in safety.

* Each and every day, set your intention to increase your levels of inner trust by taking time to be still and feel it. Know that you don't have to control every aspect of your life; the divine essence of the universe is there to guide and take care of you. When you forget this, ask yourself what supports the earth and the other planets to orbit perfectly? What allows the plants to grow and blossom?

* The next time you have a difficult decision to make or you're concerned about the future, rather than getting lost in worry or doubt, or immediately following the lead of your practical, logical mind, take a moment to find stillness, access your inner trust, and then choose the best path.

"As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live." Goethe

Duggar family

Michelle Duggar celebrates Mother’s Day in a much bigger way than any of us
mom’s could imagine. She has announced baby eighteen is on the way.
The 41-year old mom [2008], says she’s thrilled the new addition
will join the seven sisters and 10 brothers. For Mother’s Day,
the kids got together to get mom some pearls with matching pearl earrings.
Dad got her a ring.“We’re enjoying them so much and we would love more,
so the lord has seen fit to give us another one and we’re just thankful,”
Duggar said. At 20, the oldest Duggar child is Josh. Jennifer is
the youngest at 9-months. All the children’s names start with
the letter “J” and all are home-schooled.



This is a special image of a big family ever in the world. may be at ancient time, in Main land China. or even in my country, in the country side. there still many family which has many children. but in big cities of most countries in the world they dont want it, included my place Bandung City, and Jakarta - The capital.
'coz it spends much money. But personally, if i could, if i can having marriage with a girl someday. i would also have many children, but not that much. i could be so very stress of taking care children.



but the most stress in family must be my wife. you know why?
it is because she will wonder, wonder of:
"why my sons love to see penis?"
("of course like me" i have to proudly say it to myself) hahaha, just kidding.
i dont know if i can have sex with woman or not? i just dont have desire with woman even if there is a naked woman infront of me. well, ok, let's check out for more pics on this family by click in here

My man's comming out

Declaration.
OMG! this is the fearest thing ever in my life.

i dont know what's my parents' respond if i said
"mom, dad. i'm a gay. i love my boyfriend, and i'm gonna married with him"
what to expect of doing this?
being discriminated from family?
nope, i dont think it is necesarry.
in my life i just live my life
i just do my best of what i will pass through.
and in this movie below, i feel so sorry for that girl.

Who's top and who's bottom?

While in most gay relationships, the sexual responsibilities seem to develop
according to a natural progression into suitable roles for ‘top’ and ‘bottom’,
but in guy on guy porno, where it appears that either could be the more dominant,
who gets to assume to role of the ‘top’?

Maybe I forget that there are guys that do want to assume the bottom position,
mainly because I myself am a devoted top who doesn’t quite relate to
the pleasures that are presumably felt by those taking my healthy dose
of meat in their asses,
but I still can’t see how the roles are divided in gay guy porn.



It would not surprise me if the top got paid more than the bottom,
just like the straight porn business where guys are paid virtually nothing
due to the fact that just about any guy on earth will volunteer
his body to fuck a hot porn starlet whether he gets paid or not,
he’s still going to consider himself a lucky guy.



Porno featuring gay scenes should, under the same rationale,
pay the guy who gets to ‘put it in’ very little, while the blowjob artists
and anal receivers should be rewarded for their hard work-
which almost always
involves not only taking a cock up their asses,
but a considerably large one at that.



I might suggest that gay guy porn actors play some kind of game
of chance to determine who’s on top and who’s on the bottom.
Maybe they could flip a coin, or play ro sham bo, or draw straws
to see who gets to be on top, or they couold even turn it into
a sport and let the guys play poker hands over it, or better yet,
they could duke it out in a boxing ring.



That would actually be really hot guy porn:
two guys sweating it out,
then the winner gets to fuck the looser in the ass: how fitting.
I would even pay money to watch the pre-fuck fight!

Maurice

The second of the three Merchant/Ivory films adapting E.M. Forster novels
(between A Room with a View and Howard's End),
Maurice deals with a theme few period pieces
dare mention--a young man's struggle with his homosexuality.

It's not just a gay coming-of-age story, however.
The hero wrestles with British class society
as much as his personal and sexual identity.

The film opens on a stormy, windswept beach,
as an older man awkwardly instructs young,
fatherless Maurice Hall (James Wilby) in the "sacred mysteries" of sex.
The same turbulent, wordless struggle with passion lasts throughout
this slowly evolving, beautifully filmed story.

Novelist E.M. Forster's brainy,
British melodrama hinges on choice and compulsion,
as the pensive hero falls for two completely different men.
First comes frail, suppressed Clive (Hugh Grant),
who wants nothing more than classical Platonic harmony...
and a straight lifestyle.

(Grant's performance is so convincing, one wonders how he ever became a heterosexual sex symbol.) After Clive's wedding, Maurice turns to hypnosis to cure his unspeakable longings. Unfortunately, his "cure" is interrupted by Clive's lustful, brooding, barely literate gamekeeper Scudder (Rupert Graves), a worker more at home gutting rabbits than discussing the classics. Maurice's love for a "social inferior" forces him to confront his illicit desire and his ingrained class snobbery.

Abbreviations

What are these "ISO" and "SWM" and "GM" and "SWCF" mean?

Not everyone uses these abbreviations, but, they are a common
shorthand for indicating marital status, race, sex, religion, and
a few other common things. The most prominently used ones include:

S = Single ; D = Divorced ; M = Married ; W = Widowed (rare)
J = Jewish ; C = Christian

W = White ; B = Black ; A = Asian ; H = Hispanic
M = Male ; F = Female

G = Gay ; Bi = Bisexual ;
Bi-Curious = Someone curious about bisexuality and thinking about giving it a try.

The positioning works as follows: First marital status, then
religion (if any given), then race, then sex. Usually what you get
is three, such as:

GWM - Gay White Male
SWF - Single White Female

An M or a W are used to indicate marital status. In this case they
are always in the first position:

MHM - Married Hispanic Male
WWF - Widowed White Female

Religious affiliation is fairly rare, but when you do see it, it
usually comes just before or after racial type, such as:

SCWF - Single Christian White Female
SWCF - Single White Christian Female

For whatever reason, Judaism and Christianity are the only
religions commonly abbreviated at this time; if you're of another
religion, I suggest not trying to abbreviate, as you'll probably
just confuse people.

Sometimes you'll just see "SF" or "SM" for Single Male or Single
Female. This means the person doesn't want to indicate race. You
may also see something like "S*F" or "S*M". This is just another
way of saying race is irrelevant to the person.

Other abbreviations you might see include:

ISO = In Search Of
FTA = Fun, Travel, and Adventure
POZ = HIV+
Soulmate = Someone I can be completely intimate with who will
be with me forever and ever, my perfect mate, my
special lover and friend for life.

So. Here's common things you'll see:

GWM ISO G*M for FTA
(Gay White Male In Search Of Fun/Travel/Adventure with Gay Male of
any race.)

Finally, all of these are often concatenated with age and/or
location. Such as:

BOSTON SWM, 42, ISO GWM, 25-40
(Single White Male, 42 years old, living in Boston and In
Search Of a Gay White Male, age 25 to 40.)

Not everyone uses these abbreviations, but a lot of people do,
because they make it easy for people to spot you and know if
you're at least in the ballpark of what they're looking for. You
may see variations on these abbreviations that you don't
recognize, but usually you can figure it out from the context once
you get the trick of it.

Atheist on God

"well i had to say
this book is interesting that i couldnt put it down.
i have to explore deeper of what they [who disbelieve) think on this God thing
may be some alternative perception about nature or religion.
coz religion itself is not absolute.
when it said to be Righteousness then it could be unrighteousness.
so i look for more than just a bible to read and to husk,
to pare the s.screen on this problem.
may be it's sin to me who believe in chatolic.
but i dont care.
i have to confess that my curiosity encourage me always
to search more of what other people think on this"

ok let's check about this description below:
Richard Dawkins was recently voted one of the world's top three intellectuals (alongside Umberto Eco and Noam Chomsky) by Prospect magazine. As the author of many classic works on science and philosophy, he has always asserted the irrationality of belief in God and the grievous harm it has inflicted on society. He now focuses his fierce intellect exclusively on this subject, denouncing its faulty logic and the suffering it causes.

While Europe is becoming increasingly secularized, the rise of religious fundamentalism, whether in the Middle East or Middle America, is dramatically and dangerously dividing opinion around the world. In America and elsewhere, a vigorous dispute between "intelligent design" and Darwinism is seriously undermining and restricting the teaching of science. In many countries religious dogma from medieval times still serves to abuse basic human rights, such as those of women and gay people and all from a belief in a God whose existence lacks evidence of any kind.

Dawkins attacks God in all his forms, from the sex-obsessed, cruel tyrant of the Old Testament to the more benign, but still illogical, Celestial Watchmaker favoured by some Enlightenment thinkers. He eviscerates the major arguments for religion and demonstrates the ultimate improbability of a supreme being. He shows how religion fuels war, foments bigotry and abuses children. In The God Delusion, Dawkins presents a hard-hitting, impassioned rebuttal of religion of all types and does so in the lucid, witty and powerful language for which he is renowned. It is a brilliantly argued, fascinating polemic that will be required listening for anyone interested in this most emotional and important subject.

"Last year, the British medical journal BMJ reported on a series of medical myths that even doctors believe. Among them: Turkey makes you drowsy. Dim light ruins your eyes. Drink at last eight glasses of water a day. This year, the same researchers, Dr. Aaron Carroll and Dr. Rachel Vreeman of the Indiana University School of Medicine, offer six new medical myths for the holiday season. The latest set of myths, published this month in BMJ, are commonly believed by the general public and many doctors, said the researchers. However, a search of the medical literature shows these myths aren’t true or lack evidence to support them" Nytimes


i dont know if such these research is good for everyone, or just for someone.
but in fact, take an example "brocoli" which said of some research could prevent anykind of herpes disease, but how if the consumer has a bad bildge? while digestion is not well, is there any same affect as the research said? also apple case.
most doctor said "get the apple, and you'll be health" but u can't imagine that apple has been contaminated with any conservation or albedo?
anyway, nevermind,
instead of thinking this thing,
it's better take a look at tube and galleries in this posting.
and let's make a better fresh thinking by watch this tube and see these pics:

Fun house

This is like no Funhouse I've ever been to,
however if I could find one like it I would definitely go.
Fun House begins with two hot guys entering the Funhouse.

Francois Sagat greets them at the entrance wearing
a clown mask and a mesh body suit
(a little weird, but I'm up for a little kink).
He starts them on their way through the Funhouse.

The first scene they come upon is Dean Flynn and an acrobat. They start off as all Titan movies do, trading blow jobs, which is hot, but doesn't do much for me. It's not until Dean Flynn shoves his hot cock up the acrobats?butt that this scene heats up. I have to admit I think Dean Flynn is one of the hottest porn actors out there right now. He slams this bottom every which way you can think of. The scene ends with Dean cumming on the acrobat.

Porn Industry, Actor & HIV

Use condoms or be made to use them,
porn industry told

A California assembly member has said he will campaign for state legislation requiring porn performers to use condoms unless the industry voluntarily adopts them as standard. Democrat Paul Koretz, who represents the city of West Hollywood, has written to 185 porn producers saying that condoms represent the kind of elementary health and safety precaution that workers in other fields are entitled to by law.
Koretz' letter followed findings that only 17 percent of performers in heterosexual porn films are using condoms. This is exactly the same proportion as before the "HIV scare" this April, when five performers, four of whom had had sex with each other on set, acquired HIV. For a brief period, the number using condoms jumped by 5 percent, but it has now reverted to normal. During the scare, Republican assembly member Tim Leslie introduced Bill 2798, which would have compelled all performers to use condoms, but this was dropped in May when Koretz, who is chair of California's Labor and Employment Committee, said it had been put together "too hastily."

But now Koretz is warning that he will introduce legislation too, unless practices change. "I fully expect the adult entertainment industry to require the use of condoms," he wrote to the producers. "Failure to do so ... invites the legislature to exercise its authority to mandate more stringent actions"Koretz' letter and accompanying guidelines were drawn up by Thomas J. Coates, a professor of infectious diseases at UCLA's David Geffen School of Medicine. He said: "Health care workers exposed to body fluids are required to wear gloves. Workers in the adult industry deserve protection, just like any other workers"However, adult-film producers poured scorn on Koretz' proposals. Porn mogul Larry Flynt said: "I appreciate what the assemblyman is doing. But I want to know who is going to put the condoms on the actors. Is he going to come down here and do it himself?"

Other producers said they would carry on making films without condoms. Lexington Steele, president of Mercenary Pictures, said: "I don't think it's the place of the authorities to decide whether actors are to use condoms or not." He said that requiring condom use might hit profits and encourage the development of underground "bareback" studios. Gay-porn filmmakers are similarly concerned that legislation compelling condom use will undermine the voluntary code adopted by mainstream gay companies, which require condoms and will not hire actors who have appeared in bareback movies. Titan Media president Bruce Lahey told Gay.com in May that, although 30-50 percent of gay porn actors have HIV, there had never been a transmission case on one of his sets-- though he could not say the same of the bareback studios. It is estimated that around 1,200 performers work as porn stars in the San Fernando area of Los Angeles, the epicenter of the U.S. porn industry.
