Results of Nine year study Gay Bashing!
According to the study, entitled "Incidence of and Risk Factors for Sexual Orientation-Related Physical Assault Among Young Men Who Have Sex With Men," queers aged 23 and younger were bashed three times more frequently than the other study participants.
"We all know that kids who are thought or perceived to be gay, whether or not they really are, are picked on," says Dr Steffanie Strathdee, senior author of the report, which was released Apr 29.
"Our study shows that the younger somebody is when they come out, the greater at risk they are of being gaybashed."
The data shows those who left the closet before turning 16 were about three times more likely to be bashed than those who came out in their 20s.
This is the first time the rate at which young queer men experience homophobic assault has been measured, Lampinen believes

GAY JOKE OF THE DAY
It was 5:00 in the morning at the U.S. Marine boot camp, well below freezing, and the soldiers were asleep in their barracks.
The drill sergeant walks in and bellows, “This is an inspection! I wanna see you’s all formed up outside butt naked NOW!”
So, the soldier’s quickly jumped out of bed, naked and shivering, and ran outside to form up in their three ranks.
The sarge walked out and yells, “Close up the ranks, conserve your body heat!” So they close in slightly…
The captain comes along with his swagger stick.
He goes to the first soldier and whacks him right across the chest with it. “DID THAT HURT?” he yells.
“No, Sir!” came the reply.
“Why not?”
“Because I’m a U.S. Marine, Sir!”
The captain is impressed, and walks on to the next man.
He takes the stick and whacks the soldier right across the rear.
“Did THAT hurt?”
“No, Sir!”
“Why not?”
“Because I’m a U.S. Marine, Sir!”
Still extremely impressed, the captain walks to the third guy, and sees he has an enormous erection. Naturally, he gave his target a huge WHACK with the swagger stick.
“Did THAT hurt?”
“No, Sir!”
“Why not?”
“Becuse it belongs to the guy behind me, Sir!”
GAY PARADE & PREJUDICE
June is just around the corner and with June comes Chicago's Gay Pride Parade. Its a show of men in leather, drag-queens in super high heels, go-go boys on top of floats in barely there undies. It is a drunken celebration that shows heterosexuals how "splendidferous" it is to gay and proud.
That is how the media portrays it. What does this say to the perhaps closeted gay guy thinking about coming out to his parents? To many in small rural communities this is the only opportunity to identify with gay culture. Quite honestly, I have never attended a Gay Pride Parade. However, you can surely find me in the bars after the parade is over.
Gay Pride should be about community involvement and support. It shouldn't be about spectacle. The streets are lined with heterosexual who come for the display of buffoonery. The gay in turn give them what they want.
Don't get me wrong, I do not believe in conformity. However, people fear what they do not understand. Isn't being gay more than sex with the same gender? s it about showing the straight counterparts how better our half naked bodies are while dancing to Cher on top of a float?
SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT GAY PRIDE IS ABOUT!

HILLARY CLINTON (DON'T ASK DON'T TELL)
Ask a gay guy who they are voted for more than likely they will say Hillary Clinton. Ask them why and watch them quickly change the subject to that new "Sex in the City" movie. Is it because she is a woman or looks like a lesbian?
Did you forget it was her husband who ushered in the "Don't Ask Don't Tell" policy? If you are thinking that because she is a woman she would be more sympathetic to the Gay Rights you are mistaken. It will simply be swept under the rug, because we all know who really would be running the White House if Hillary was elected. So there goes your chance to convince Bill that "Gay guys give better head than women, because we know how it feels!"
Who is better to understand the plight of Gays than someone who has experienced discrimination, prejudice and alienation by both races. Barrack Obama is often too Black for White America and not Black enough for Black America.
His interracial ethnicity isn't an issue, but it is. Just as being Gay isn't an issue, but it is. He didn't choose to be interracial, just as we do not pick our sexuality.
Obama refuses to play his "race-card" (50% the value of the real "race-card")he is simply the best candidate for change. While ushering in change, the issues of Gay rights and equality can be addressed. He is inviting you to challenge him on this.
Maybe Gays see Hillary as a mother figure or a fag hag? Some of you may have gotten Chelsea mixed up with Chasity Bono.

Taking the "Ho" out of Hooking Up (gay.com/craigslist/reality)
You've heard that saying, "Gays move into a run down neighborhood, fix it up, make it trendy, sell, then move out!" Well, that maybe true for tangible space, but the opposite happens in cyberspace.
Have you been on Gay.com lately? The rooms are packed, but know one is chatting. Why won't gay guys log off when they are away from their computer? How am I supposed to know if I have been politely rejected or "hotjockfratstud" is at the gym, the frat house or one of my many screen names I forgot to log off.
Take a look at Craigslist Chicago and view our men seeking men section. It has become a game of picture collecting, raunchy ads from straight guys, and almost impossible criteria for a 30 min tryst. The physical requirements for dating are far less critical than going "downtown" on a i-ho (internet whore) or getting your "salad tossed" by a complete stranger.
Want to know why that date with that hot guy ended after you put out? He has figured out that he will never be hot enough for a Craigslist hook up. So he settled for a date with you.
He could send 100 emails with fake or outdated pictures of himself with sugarcoated adjectives(footballplayer build, muscular, average build) to describe his less than ideal physique to pers-67743xxx@craigslist.org and never get laid.
Infact,he has figured out he can take you out to dinner to some fancy Thai restaurant, that serves bubble tea, and pretend he is listening to you go on and on about your precious cat, your job and how all your friends are whores.
Meanwhile, while he trying to remember to blink while you go on and on, he is trying to figure out if you are a top or bottom. Sex is mandatory after a date, unless you go Dutch. I have left my debit card at home plenty of times to capitalize on this rule.
