gaywrites:
A morning show DJ in Cleveland made a comment about a caller that has GLAAD up in arms, and rightfully so.
When a man wrote in to the radio station to talk about how his daughter was gay, Dominic Dieter, a DJ for WMMS, reportedly said: “You should get one of your friends to screw your daughter straight.”
Here’s GLAAD’s response:
Aaron McQuade, GLAAD’s director of news and field...

– Lady, You Really Aren’t “Crazy” (via cuntlovin)
Yeah this pretty much sums it up. Most people are not “crazy”, male or female. Just because someone wasn’t quiet or calm enough for you or whatever doesn’t mean they were crazy, people are all different, and not everyone is...

Pokemon and Gender
Hello, Jenni here!
So, I absolutely fucking LOVE pokemon. Seriously, I love the pokemon games, they’re not my favourite games, but they’re damn close.
With that out of the way, there are a few things I’ve noticed regarding the way the pokemon games express certain gender roles. First a little background info. Gender appears in pokemon games both with humans (trainers and such)...

So one time long, long ago in a land far, far away… (and by that I mean 4 years ago in my extremely liberal hometown..which makes the fact that this was said even more scary) someone in my class said this. I think the scariest part is that NO ONE said anything against it. I should have but I was…
Very well said, I’ve heard this kind of thing myself, nowadays I make...

Kinsey Scale
Hello, Jenni here!
I just read and replied to this Laci Green bit:
http://lacigreen.tv/sexplus/sexuality/4502-problems-with-the-kinsey-scale
And decided to repost my response here, because I think it shows a bit how complicated sexuality actually gets.
My biggest issue with the kinsey scale is that it ignores quite a few factors that influence one’s sexual identity.. Ones own gender, for...

gaywrites:
At the University of Pittsburgh, a new policy states that all students and staff must use the school bathroom matching the gender on their birth certificate, a truly low blow to the school’s transgender community.

Off-limits?
Hello, Jenni here.
I’ve noticed that a lot of people consider certain topics “Off limits” when it comes to criticism, and especially to jokes.
Personally, I believe no idea should be above criticism. Criticism is what makes things better - if no one exposes the flaws in something, then they will be ignored. This even applies to “sacred” ideas like religions,...

gaywrites:
A court in Germany has ruled that an 11-year-old girl can be legally institutionalized in a mental health clinic because she is transgender.
