Sometimes we walk out the closet, sometimes we fall out, but most all gay people come out at some point and get mixed reactions from whom they tell. Tell everyone about your "comming out" and if it was easy or hard and how that person reacted.

Mexicans are aztecs and the french people are like germans and irish. Sicilians and Maltese are the real latins because we are olive skinned.

My best friend is an African American female and she won't even watch the show because she says that 'New York' gives black women a bad name and is nauseating and she is the very definition of ghetto hoochie trash. What do you think? Thank you.

My anthropology professor (who is black) told the class that, unfortunately, the contribution of Whites and Asians in terms of scientific and technological advancement, and in political, philosophical thought is overwhelming compared to black achievement.

In fact, he claims that Whites and Asians have contributed about 90%, while black is less than 2%. For example, almost every single household appliance in our houses have been invented by white or Asian people. Most of the social systems such as democracy have also been invented and refined by these races.
Is this true?

What are some scientific or technological things that blacks in Africa or America have invented?

Is my professor, even though he is black, an "orea" or traitor of his race for saying these things?

Our t-shirts say I love being Black ( http://www.ilovebeingblack.com ). Most black people love them. Some white people seem to think these shirts cause division between whites and blacks. Silly me, I thought it was slavery or racism or the embedded myth of white supremacy or how the people at the top want everyone else to focus on small entanglements like this.
Let me be clear, these shirts are created by black people, for black people. These shirts are meant to express the love for your blackness because it has been diminished in so many of us due to: negative images in the media, the destruction of the black family structure, violence in our communities, or the many traps laid out for us.
Why do these same white people see nothing wrong with the shirts that say 'everyone loves a jewish girl' or 'blondes just do it better' or everyone loves an irish girl' or 'kiss me i'm italian'??

I'd like for ALL ethnicities to respond, let me know if you find something negative about the shirts..

What is your response to a person that does this?

Personally, it grieves me.
It makes me sick to my stomach.

Given some don't believe in God, why would a person make such cutting and disrespectful remarks, period ?

Are they unhappy with themselves?
Are they unappreciative of thier existance?

After you've been with someone for awhile-do they always change? I mean like make alot of promises and tell you just how much they love you and can't live without you,and a year or so later-they act completely different! Not mean-just not the same person you met and fell inlove with!

Once a religion begins to establish forced control over others, or to make its teachings dogma that must be followed or punishment results, then that religion loses sight of true spiritual understanding. That is when it brings in the seeds of corruption. It replaces the need to promote true spiritual understanding with the desire to establish its superiority over others, which can lead to the ways of totalitarianism. Then politics, disunity, intrigue and even war become prevalent.
All true religions accept that God is the ultimate unifying principle, an omnipotent, supremelu spiritual being who has infinite intelligence and capabilities, abd from whom comes pure and unlimited love for one and all. He reciprocates with us to the degree to which we surrender or desire to understand Him. A religion which cannot offer such an understanding, or whose followers have perverted the philosophy, or who cannot apply it in their daily lives, is not a truly progressive or elevating religion. In such a case, it becomes necessary to get away from the church to get closer to God. after all, the church should not make itself more important than the true spiritual knowledge it should be promoting. In other words, when the process of worship outweighs the object of worship, or God, then you have already lost Him. Such a religion will not be spiritually successful and should be corrected or avoided.
What this means, as we head into the future, is that it will be most important for people to be spiritually knowledgeable and to think for themselves and recognize that forced dogma is not what true religion is about. We have already spent many centuries witnessing religions supressing and persecuting others and we should have learned our lesson by now. As spiritual beings, we all have an eternal relationship with the Supreme Spirit. No church or institution or its representatives can interfere with that. We do not have to participate in any religion that forces us to be subservient to a faulty creed or misleading or corrupt leaders. we must only serach out those individuals, pure devotees, who can assist us and gives us the spiritual knowledge by which we can understand and reach the Supreme Being ourselves, with or without any institution or organized religion. To become atheistic because of the failure of religions to present us God as He is is the sum total of all stupidity. God's doing very well , thank you. Whether you ackowledge, recognize, know this or not.

I have many gay friends and I hate when people ridicule people for being gay. Why is it that it still has not been accepted after so many years?

My partner and I are discussing and planning to have children. I plan to have our first child and my partner will adopt him/her. Our church minister asked about last name and we came up with using both of our last names hyphened with my partners last name last. Any other ideas? I thought about creating a last name using our last names, but our lawyer stated that this would pose a problem.

1st off it's not a problem because I am 82% Dyke but he says he is 100% straight. The thing is I talked him into letting me pop him in the back door with my strap on and he REALLY got into it. Now he wants it all the time. I tell him this means he's a h0m0 and he gets all pissed off and goes home. I think he needs to find a man so he can figure it out. As long as I don't have to watch cause 2 gurlz is cool but 2 guys is a freak show
