Homophobia Linked To Denied Same-Sex Feelings

Homophobia Linked To Denied Same-Sex Feelings

April 11, 2012 No Comments

The belief that homophobes and those who commit hate crimes against gays are lashing out against their own homosexual feelings is not new. But a new study has offered valuable evidence to the speculation. The study links feelings of homophobia with repressed same-sex attraction. It also adds new insight by showing the role strict, homophobic parents have ...

Being Easy Is Not A Crime, Looting Is

Being Easy Is Not A Crime, Looting Is

March 25, 2012 1 Comment

Last year’s London riots signified a terrible time for the city and other parts of Britain. What should have remained as a peaceful protest about how the police handled a shooting in north London raged out of control. It looked to the rest of the world as if the entire country was on fire. Obviously, ...

The next thing you know your zumba instructor’s going to say, “Welcome, Class. Let’s start with a warm-up, shake our hips like Shakira, and finish with a series of coregasms.” Hey, it’s not like we’ve never heard of women having orgasms during a vigorous workout before. A good heart-pumping gets the blood flowing and experts have ...

Same-Sex Marriage Makes For Healthier Gay Men

December 19, 2011 No Comments

What do you know, treating people like human beings with equal rights makes them happier and healthier. No, it’s not liberal hippy nonsense. There is now a study to back it up. In states where same-sex marriage is legal, gay and bisexual men go to the doctor less often. Their health costs also go down ...

Honour Killings On The Rise

Honour Killings On The Rise

December 7, 2011 No Comments

Honour killings — two words that should not be used in the same sentence. And yet the practice of “cleansing” a family from the dishonour of a woman is not only still carried out, it is reportedly on the rise. Honour killings are an ancient tradition of controlling a woman’s actions — particularly her sexuality. ...

Caution About Lady Gaga’s Foundation Name

Caution About Lady Gaga’s Foundation Name

November 10, 2011 No Comments

I am a Little Monster. And Lady Gaga is my mama. I was so excited to see news reports last week of Lady Gaga’s new non-profit foundation for youth, the Born This Way Foundation  (BTWF). But wait a second. Don’t the words “Born This Way” allude to the existence of a “gay gene?” That our sexual ...

Ancient Erotic Art, Starring Ornamental Penises

November 3, 2011 No Comments

Art has never been afraid to represent human sexuality in its multitude of forms. Books like Lolita and Lady Chatterley’s Lover were banned for a time because they didn’t shy away from uncensored sexuality; Harlequin novels full of Fabios have remained popular to this day; nude paintings and sculptures covering museum walls continue to showcase ...

Hallowe’en Is For Sluts

Hallowe’en Is For Sluts

October 31, 2011 No Comments

I have to confess. I don’t understand Hallowe’en. What little I know about Halloween, I got from movies I watched. I don’t understand the holiday because, for the larger part of my life,  I never celebrated it. When I was 15-years-old and moved outside of my country of birth, I celebrated Hallowe’en for the first ...

The Joy Of Sex: Beyond Kinky Pictures And Climaxes

The Joy Of Sex: Beyond Kinky Pictures And Climaxes

October 27, 2011 No Comments

Okay, I’ll admit it. When I go into a bookstore I still like to giggle over the sex books. You would think that my flourishing interest in sexy illustrations started with the Kama Sutra but, au contraire, it began with one glimpse at the now infamous The Joy of Sex by Dr. Alex Comfort, first ...

Lesbian Kisses Disturb Donut-Eating Heterosexuals

Lesbian Kisses Disturb Donut-Eating Heterosexuals

October 25, 2011 No Comments

While tolerance for the LGBT community is slowly increasing, sometimes it still seems relegated to the streets proudly bearing the rainbow flag. You expect to see gay couples in Toronto’s Church Wellesley Village, Vancouver’s Davie Village and San Francisco’s Castro District, but what about when they venture out of designated “homosexual neighbourhoods?” Well, homophobia rears ...
