Is it just me or National Public Radio still kissing up to the Republicans?


Is NPR really a talk of the nation? I enjoy a good radio show. I commute for almost an hour an a half everyday, so I like NPR because it is intelligent radioing. Having said that. i used to Notice their skew affiliation in favor of the conservative agenda. And a year ago I was thinking well if I were them I will probably watch what I said carefully so that my funds will keep coming. So when the new administration happened, I thought, this is cool; I will now get a more diversified pointsview in NPR. Yet I am still waiting. The other day I was listening how they were covering some of the key factors in the Health care debate. And again I felt as though nothing have changed from the last administration. I feel as though they are hyper critical of Obama, a big contrast to how they used to react to the Bush Regime. What do you Think?

Liquid Sky and to think that I am a Prince/ss now living in CT. LOL

This is my favorite B-Movie of all times. This was my Hey days, back in New York.
The fashion scenes and the music and the poetry, well that was the east village as I knew it.



The movie has great lines but my favorite is
"You wanted to know where I'm from? I'm from Connecticut, Mayflower stock. I was taught that my prince would come, and he would be a lawyer, and I would have his children. And on the weekends we would barbecue. And all the other princes and their princesses would come, and they would say: 'Delicious, delicious.' Oh, how boring. So I was taught that I should come to New York, become an independent woman. And my prince would come, and he would be an agent, and he would get me a role, and I would make my living waiting on tables. I would wait - till thirty, till forty, till fifty. And I was taught that to be an actress, one should be fashionable, and to be fashionable is to be androgynous. And I am androgynous not less than David Bowie himself. And they call me beautiful, and I kill with my cunt. Isn't it fashionable?”

In Fear & The invisibility Cloak, Kyle had a candid retrospective take on the fear of coming out “Fear is an insidious and destructive creature. It looks fairly harmless, even helpful in the beginning, but by the time it really has a hold on you, it has managed to entangle every part of who you are.”

Demi Queer Series, Part one of my gallery series.

Lately I have been examining my commitment to Queer politics and decided that I will like to share my virtual Gallery Importing fronteras. Being loud and in your face about my sexuality is second nature to me. In my Demi-queer series, I have some samples of my cultural works reflecting on the subject. Let me know what you think.

German Gonzales and Much More




I am very excited that one of my newest followers is also the head editor for AmbienteGt, which is an electronic magazine dedicated to Queer Arts and politics in Spain. As an artist I seldom come across artworks where I do a double take, but in the case of German Gomez’ work I had to. To me he does with photography what Francis Bacon does with painting. My only concern is that I want to see more of German Gomez’s work, three samples is not enough for the artist in me. I feel so inspired that I am heading for my camera. Take a look for yourself this is hot, I love it. If you want me to translate something let me know.

P.S. Ambiente GT just mentioned to me that he was from Guatemala. So my bad. I want to retract the Spain as the site for the magazine.

Smart Move for Rescue Marriage




Do not panic Daily Queer has a post about John Marcotte: California Man that introduces Amendment to Ban Divorce in California.
"No, John is not a religious zealot (although he has 12 years of Catholic education), instead he’s launched this initiative to mock the proponents of Proposition 8, which added “Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California,” to the state’s constitution. He told CNN this Act is the “logical extension of Proposition 8.”

Isn't this great. That should be also added in Maine to see if the protect Marriage law is going to pass in there too.

What Catholics for Marriage equality (CAME)?


This one is new to me. As some of you might know, I am a Roman Catholic survivor. And while I respect others peoples freedom of religion, when it comes to the catholic church I run the other way. But on this one I give them props. A group called Catholics for Marriage equality issued the following statement.

"Catholics for Marriage Equality calls on its members and all Catholics who share our support for marriage equality to take two peaceful but effective actions in our parishes this Sunday so that the diocese will know it is not speaking for all faithful Catholics."

"First, instead of money, we urge parishioners who support marriage equality to place a note in the special collection envelope stating that they do not support the bishop's stance to deprive same-sex couples of the right to civil marriage and will instead donate funds to NO on 1/Protect Maine Equality, which opposes Question 1, or to a charity that is inclusive of all families.

"Second, we ask supportive Catholics to sign our petition affirming that the Church can define marriage as it wishes for its members but that marriage as a civil right is the prerogative of the state to define.

Not the first time that his mouth expressed his sentiment

It seems that South Carolina Representative who call the President a Liar, has a history of intolerance for anything should we say, of a mixed race. Pam's House Blend has a great article in which the representative have shown a history for his lack of tolerance. I will like to say his racism, but you should be the judge on that.



" he was offended that there were stories that racist bigot Sen. Strom Thurmond (R-SC) had an illegitimate daughter, Essie Mae Washington-Williams, with a black woman (a Thurmond family maid). After all, stories that Strom's white rod got anywhere near the nasty woo-woo of a negress would sully the steriling reputation of that upstanding white man, right? (TPM): Rep. Wilson, a former page of Thurmond's, immediately told The State newspaper that he didn't believe Williams. He deemed the revelation "unseemly." And he added that even if she was telling the truth, she should have kept the inconvenient facts to herself:"

Madam Sata a Queer Classic of all times

Madam Sata is a movie that I cannot stop watching and I cannot get out of my mind. Just when you thought that being Queer is rough, think about, Joao Francisco do Santos an inspiring, reaffirming, and up lifting figure capable of surviving racial and class discrimination during the 1920’s in Brazil. He was admired and appreciated by his local community and a legendary carnival celebrity. A queer with no gender alliances, he was capable of switching from butch to femme at his own discretion. A nonconformist with a family life composed of two prostitutes and an adopted baby. He had little reverence for the authorities or establishment, to point of laughing at his abilities to penetrate policemen. Over all, the entire movie with its graphic love making scenes and the compelling landscape of the times, takes you into a world where you feel present, enraged, yet empowered to fight back.
