Facebook is a marvelous tool. I found this article and couldn't help but read it. A woman named Anna Thorpe wrote this blog post on the Ladies Monthly in October. It is called "Setting Your Gay Daughter Straight" and it gives an easy how to when it comes to manipulating your lesbian daughter into a lovely straight girl.

Article!

I would like to say before you read this, is that I believe this is a satirical paper that is not so different from the Onion

Step one: Moral Pressure.

"Remind your daughter of the moral atrocity she is committing, as well as the ramifications of her decisions to her God. Explain how gay sex cannot produce children, and how gay marriage still remains illegal. If she is not far gone, simply mentioning her family commitments may be enough to snap her out of it."

Although she is not advocating to "Pray away the Gay" she is saying that you need to pressure your daughter until she is so guilty that she decides it's better to not live with who she is for the sake of her family.

Step two: Doll Her Up

"In middle stages it can be more work to influence your daughter’s lifestyle choices. Shower her with gifts like makeup and new girls’ clothes to replace her baggy blue jeans and hockey jerseys. Redecorate her room and transform it into an inviting boudoir for any potential male suitors, but keep it girly to deter any homosexual use. Buy her movies like Snow White, The Princess Bride, and Cinderella, along with music by artists like Dolly Parton, Neil Young, and Britney Spears. Avoid new artists like Lady Gaga or you may have a prissy glamor lesbian on your hands before you can say “Alejandro.”"

Of course this all will make her stop lovin' the ladies. But the last and most horrendous step is...

Step three: The Bait and Switch

"Our last, but most effective strategy. The Bait and Switch should be your last resort. However, it is a very powerful tool, and you are not likely to be disappointed. Wait until an important event, like Homecoming or Prom. Knowing your daughter, she won’t have a date, so it’s your job to set her up with a nice boy. Since at this late stage she will surely refuse, you’ll need to outwit her. Set her up with an attractive young lady. She’ll see your actions as a motion of respect and acceptance of who she is, and she will most surely agree. What she won’t know is that her elegant suitor is actually a transvestite. He will use his skills to seduce her as a woman, maybe even making her fall in love. After the dresses come off, she’ll be given the surprise of a lifetime, a night she will not soon forget."

Yes... the surprise of her life, a lifetime she'll have to commit to therapy because her mother couldn't accept her for who she was. Thanks Mom, you've been a big help.

What I truly wanted to do was to draw attention to the comments.

"I’m only trying to help women who don’t want to have do deal with all the hassle and aggravation of having a homosexual daughter. Its not just that an opportunity for legitimate grandchildren is lost, imagine what your friends would think if your daughter started eating from the other side of the buffet? Is she even going to be able to get a job living like that? Not here she won’t."

"I once traded an entire Tommy Bahama bedroom set for just 3 hours of service to two fine gentlemen/ladies. It was worth it, after that point my daughter totally stopped watching Sailor Moon with her bedroom door closed."

Even if this is satirical, is this something that should be joked about? It's there to make you upset, which is successfully did to me.

This is great video of people asking the question of "Are people born homosexual or do people choose to be homosexual?", and then asking "When did you choose to be straight?".

I think this is a fantastic way to look at the question and it should be used in defense of people who believe that homosexuality is a choice that people consciously make at some point in their life. If a person has to choose to be homosexual, then a person has to choose to be heterosexual.

DADT was ruled unconstitutional by a federal judge yesterday and the government has to do something to reinforce the old laws.

"If the government does not appeal, the injunction cannot be reversed and would remain in effect. If it does appeal, that would put the administration in the position of continuing to defend a law it opposes."

So if Obama drags his feet on the subject, then his horrible law may be gone for good!!

I can't wait to see what happens.

Here is the article, enjoy the read.

"Don't ask, don't tell" has recently become a huge topic recently. DADT was recently deemed unconstitutional by federal judges on September 9th. On the 17th of September, Lady Gaga sent a youtube message to urge people to call the senators and ask them to vote against DADT. Lady Gaga had a rally against DADT this past Monday 9/20 and gave a speech against DADT. Here are the youtube videos, part one and part two, and here is a full transcript of her speech. McCain and other Republican Senators are against the repeal of DADT, and are hoping to postpone the subject until a Military Study is released, due December 1st, that will judge how the repeal of this will effect moral of the troops.

I'm sorry for all the links, but I hope you enjoy them.

Here's a graph showing a history of polls taken about same sex marriage. It shows what percentage of people were for and against same sex marriage in specific years starting in 1988. It brings the "warm fuzzies" to my heart to see that more people are becoming in favor of same sex marriage to the point that one poll has shown that majority of people are in favor.


This graph came from this website which has more information on the details.

Enjoy!

Only a few states and the District of Columbia allow same-sex marriage. So what happens when a same-sex couple moves to a state that doesn't recognize their marriage? There may be complications if they decide to get divorced. I'm sure this isn't something any couple wants to be thinking about when they get married, but homosexual partners may find themselves trapped if they are not given the same rights to end marriages as heterosexual couples. Here's a CNN article that talks about this hurdle that I hadn't even thought about yet.

A school in Mississippi left a student out of the year book because she's a lesbian. Evidently, she is not a student, she is not a person, she is not anything to them simply because of her personal sexual preference. Click here to go to a short article about it.
