Oink Oink!

Congrats to Gay Shame. I love the slogan! Let's remember there were no "corporate sponsors" at the original Stonewall.
by gay shame, out of step with the times
gay shame,

a small, beleaguered, group of mal-contents that only wish to disrupt the progress of the gay rights movement. Out of step with the times, no jobs, no future, no motivation to improve. is this who we wish to follow? and where will they take us ? - back into the closet? is that what we want?

the name is appropriate, for they shame us all
by Mary
Something should be brought back into the closet, among them are the assimilationist politics of the current "gay and lesbian" movement. These politics have rendered "the movement" useless and nothing more then a market for the imperalist, courporit oppressive regims of those who whould murder us in our sleep if we no longer were sources of gay dollars. REMEMBER TO RIOT.

some one needs to do a little growing up!
this gay shame trype is nothing but an excuse to act like a fool in public. from what I have heard so far
the arrests where demanded by parade officials
who where out raged by "gay shame's behavior".
by damn
"out raged by "gay shame's behavior"."

Yelling "shame on Newsom" is I guess now an arrestable offense? Maybe it was considered offensive since anything critical of Newsom could jepordize grants from the Getty foundation (afterall Newsom's dad is one of the main controllers of that fortune and Newsom hangs out all the time with the heir)

The SF establishment is quick to condemn anyone bashed by the police these days. When the police used a protest in front of the LGBT center as an excuse to beat up gay youth, there wasnt a huge response from the mainstream establishment and teh Chronicle made it sound likethe police were protecting Newsom (from what? people chanting slogans). The Bay Times did give that incident front page coverage but SF's mainstream has moved so far to the right that it blames the victims now for gay bashings....

While the police only seem to bloody up gay or minority youth at protests the racism and homophobia is never brought into question. "What do you expect if you are protesting" seems like a sad statement about the state of SF democracy but you hear the equivalent all the time. When rich white people take to the streets to protest or celebrate (even without a permit) the police go out of their way to block off traffic but when minority or queer youth protest, the police come in with battons swinging and the papers fill with articles condemning the protests.

gayness is commen in animals such as sheep bisexuality is also common. Interestingly some of mans closest living relitives have been seen displaying very bisexual tendancies. there are also evoluitionary psycology reasons for bisexuality as well as benifits of being related to gays (although the gay themselves might be less likely to carry on the species).

as to censorship I think that on is learnt.
