Sexual Orientation

^ Well - if you come down, you have ready-made friends

 

Anyone have any big trips coming up? I'd love to hear about them so I can Facebook stalk your trip and feel like I'm on vacation too

[Philrad71]

^ I just acknowledged about an open position at our Tampa training center and will be completing my resume and application for work transfer tomorrow. My initial phone interview with the manager yesterday seemed very promising so now I am really stoked! Once approved, they may fly me down to their headquarters in Atlanta for a face to face interview.

 

Even more awesome is the fact that it is located about one mile from my favorite park...BGT!

 

I think I should pinch myself because this certainly seems like this would be a dream come true!

[jynx242]

I'll be sending good mojo your way. Keep us updated!

Um. . surprised no one has posted yet.

 

Supreme Court ruled this morning.

 

5/4 (shame on Chief Justice Roberts, but Justice Kennedy was the swing vote). . Gay Marriage is now LEGAL in all 50 states.

 

 

seriously, this is HUGE.

[BugEyed]

Yep, this is HUGE. Such a massive step forward. YAY!

[Philrad71]

Definitely monumental.

 

Should be interesting to see how the ultra conservatives react to this, although I have a sneaky feeling that it won't be with high powered enthusiasm.

[alilstronger]

Today is amazing! Sucks it took this long, however it is awesome to be alive during this crazy/beautiful time in history.

As a straight male, I'm happy that this has finally happened. Though it took way too long. Now that we can have same-sex marriages, how soon till we see the same-sex divorces? That oughta be fun!

(I Kid, but it is funny to think about)

 

That being said, my favorite posts on the matter have been the people that say they will move to Canada because of this. I guess nobody has told them that Same-Sex Marriage has been legal in Canada for a decade.

 

That, or the posts about people saying that they are going to get divorced if same-sex marriage is legal in the states. The ball is in their court now.

And if the marijuana laws change (for the better) up here, they might have problems with that, too.

 

By the way, CONGRATULATIONS to everybody involved, for the Supreme Court Decision!

 

(And Seattle's Pride Parade on Sunday is going to be insanely awesome!)

And HAPPY PRIDE to all!

I remember seeing an article about same sex divorces when Massachusetts legalized gay marriage. I think that it was of the first lesbian couples married...only lasted a couple of years.

 

But yes, it is funny to think that people are so uneducated about gay marriage and where it is legal that they would even post something as stupid as "I'm moving to Canada"!

[Nrthwnd]

^ Maybe they should move to Mexico. They have a great Six Flags park in Mexico City.

[Philrad71]

^ Or better yet, let them move there and then ban them from going to Six Flags and tell them that bigots are not allowed to have any fun!

I walked into my local liquor store last week, and found a display rack

to the left of the door, brimming with Absolut Vodka..... in RAINBOW bottles!

 

Now I assumed that in the States (and the World), it was sold prior to June pride Parades, etc.

But our Pride Parade and weekend is celebrated at the beginning of August. And I believe

Montreal does it the same weekend as us. So that we can visit Seattle`s and Toronto`s

respective Pride Weekends-Parades in late June; then they come to us and celebrate with us!

 

Anyway, I immediately bought THREE of them, LOL!

And a Happy Pride, past and future!

 

And all that written stuff on the front of it, reads...

 

We are proud to believe in equality. We believe that

the world needs to change. Change, so that each and every

individual can be proud, and decide for themselves who

they belong with, live with and love. Since 1979, Absolut

has been supporting the rights of proud people around the world.

 

We will never stop.

How the empty bottle is looking, on our back yard deck. LED lights (remote) are going into it for our August party.

Best. Absolut Bottle. Ever. (o:

[DoinItForTheFame]

^ I love that bottle!! We just got back from liquor shopping for the weekend, and I was looking for that bottle, and couldn't find it any where.

 

I saw a bottle on display in NYC, and I have yet to see it any where else. Not only do I love the bottle. I love the message on the front of it! Thanks for sharing the pictures of it!

eBay has some. .but they are considered "rare"

This was just posted in the Gay Calgary News. An article about Reese (of the Pieces?) was introducing a new

spreadable version of their peanut butter cups.... "to spoon and spread...". Nothing 'hidden agenda' in that, yes? No?

Then there's that "reaction shot" inside of the label...

[Philrad71]

OMG...I need to find one of those Absolut bottles for Michael.

 

Absolut is his favorite vodka for Black Russians - he would love this!!!

[engineeringtyler96]

I'm not one to advertise this a lot, but I feel comfortable with the members here. I'm a gay guy. I'm at the point where I don't go out of my way to hide it, but like I said, I don't advertise it. The first impression you'd get of me is your "typical" straight guy. When I came out to my friends, the most common response was "what?! I could never tell!" I sort of like defying stereotypes.

[Philrad71]

^ Welcome to the club!

 

I am the same...straight acting where no one would suspect unless they asked. And if they ask, I tell them...if they don't ask, then they can assume what they want to assume, I guess!

 

On another note, I will be flying down to Tampa for a job interview within my current employer on August 4th and 5th...wish me luck!!!

[Nrthwnd]

^ Luck Wished!

[Nrthwnd]

Just got this in an email - for our upcoming Parade on Sunday, August 2....

Cool! And Yummy looking, too!

Kate Pierson married her longtime companion this past weekend in Hawaii.

 

Although the B52s always have been extremely gay friendly (all 3 of the male members were/are gay), I had absolutely no idea Kate was a member of the LGBTQ community as well! (I always figured she was just their Female friend. . while Cindy was Ricky's sister.

 

regardless. . good for them!
