I say that relationships are suck. I haven't been in one since November (ended on my birthday, actually), and I haven't found anyone I'd even remotely want to date. So, I think that's good. My standards are getting a lot higher. If things don't go right... in my experience, you could just cause...

What do I care if a bunch of undersexed high school kids are sending dirty pictures to each other? I don't. Sexting isn't any problem at all here, it's that we're continuing to raise generations of kids that learn from the adults that sexuality is an act of conquest, that getting things like...

How does not forcing a child into some stereotyped social construction equate to controlling them and damaging their psychological health? How does giving a child a choice mean they're not giving their child a choice? They're doing what they're doing because they want to give their child a...

Well, there's the guy that goes to the NC Pride parade every year, dressed as Jesus on rollerskates, carrying a big foam cross and wearing an aluminum halo. I think that counts as a weird outfit to most people...but I haven't seen weird outfits in a while, man. Where are they?

In next life time, I want be female. But next life time not coming, so happy. I and punk rock go down with ship. Best for all involved.

There is a lot of trans* hate in this thread. Let's look at one little fact, alright? One in 100 children are born with errors in development of chromosomally-appropriate sex organs. This is not to say that one out of every hundred ends up with "opposite-sex" organs, but this is the rate of...

Like a ton of politicians, Obama has flip-flopped on the gay thing. Back when he was running for senator, he was for gay marriage - when he runs for President, it seemed his civil rights opinions were downgraded, as he then did not support gay marriage, but civil unions. He spoke up for...

I used to have a thread or three around here when I was younger, but I think my skills have evolved a bit since then. That's the hope, at least. :) Here's one of my favorite poems I've written lately - it was based loosely on a dream I had, while getting over a friend's death - he's heavily...

Dear Anonymous, I promise that I never truly hated either of you. I merely saw what it was I hated in myself in you. I know that you said it was all in the past, that you barely remembered it, that it was simply a piece of you that you'd left behind, but it was one of the most significant...

I haven't posted photos on this site since I was like 14-15, so... consider this the first time. Just posted a good few. Never thought everyone on this site would be so adorable. You guys are like a bundle of puppies or something.

If you didn't comprehend my last message, this is my official request and intent to join this group and offer my support. Now, for the big question. When I was about fourteen years old, I learned that my best friend was gay. At the time, I was a very religious kid, and very heavily homophobic...

I have seen every dubbed episode of this series that exists up to season four (the beginning of the end of the series), and all the dubbed movies. I'm not into subtitles. People have expressed their discontents with season three of Digimon, but I don't think that people have any idea what...

I think Lady Gaga's a cissexist, arrogant, white lady who thinks she speaks for everybody gay and otherwise, but hey. I can be a radical and ruin all your fun some other time if I want to. As for me? Androgynous, bigender, pansexual, queer, gay, trans*, genderqueer, unicorn, repeat. In any...

We are predisposed to care for things that look similar to human babies, or have similar properties - the more infantile and "helpless" a creature is, the cuter we tend to find it. That's why people love kittens, but PETA doesn't feature nematodes in their animal cruelty campaigns. Humans aren't...

I'm reading three books at one time, because why not? The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test - Tom Wolfe The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark - Carl Sagan Rebooting the American Dream: 11 Ways to Rebuild Our Country - Thom Hartmann I've got some varied interests, guys, I promise...
