Every day homosexuality is more and more mainstream. I nearly said 'normal', which would have been an error and simply shows my indoctrination by hetero-normative folk.
More kids, more adults, more musicians, more TV presenters, more... people, are content for us to know that they are gay.
That is so in the civilised world, at least.
We have to hope that the uncivilised world follows suit. We have to hope that our LGBT contemporaries in repressive parts of the world can survive and then prosper.

There's a TV show on called "The Fosters" (it's about a lesbian couple who are raising a blended family of biological, adopted and foster children; it's being brodcast in the U.S. and Canada that I'm aware of, though I don't know if it's on elsewhere).
The episode broadcast on March 2nd featured a kiss between two 13-year-old male characters, and is being considered as one of the (if not the) youngest same-sex kisses ever portrayed on American TV. An article on it (including a clip of the kiss scene itself, found at the bottom of the article) can be found on:

and immediately wanted to share it with everyone here.
The past year, the anniversary of the beginning of World War I, has been riddled with controversy of one description or another. This article provides a different perspective on an otherwise sorry story:
Does anyone have any cures or rather sudden depression^^;
*hides
I'm in the middle of writing something, which I'll share later.
Take care.
You're all beautiful people. And im glad APOS exists. I"m thankful for each of you.
Take care okay. And stay happy.
Find people you love and hold on to them.

that tomorrow is Remembrance Day throughout much of the Commonwealth and a handful of other countries.
Please, do take a moment or two, pausing and reflecting upon the sacrifice these often to us nameless warriors have made in the cause of rights and freedoms a goodly portion of the World enjoys; which we likely would not have without them.
With Canada's renewed involvement in the middle east this past month, however regrettable, our "Highway of Heros" will likely see more activity in the foreseeable future after a almost two-year hiatus. Whilst I initially had objected to the re-naming of Ontario's MacDonald-Cartier Freeway, the nation has embraced with previously unheard of compassion the passage of each flag-draped casket as it has slowly traveled down that highway from CFB Trenton to Toronto's Centre for Forensic Sciences for processing upon each fallen soldier's return to Canada. Thousands of Canadians, caps in hand with heads bowed each, and every time, have lined the long unbroken stretches of roadway and every over- and under-pass, from one end to the other, as traffic lights are put on hold, one after another, as the cortège approaches and then passes by, bringing all vehicles to a halt, in sequence throughout its' entire length of nearly two hundred kilometres.
Like last year, Alan and I will be attending Remembrance day Mass at out local Church with one of the Church-ladies we've become involved with in a couple of local charities this past few years.
This year my son and I both will be sporting (as we have all Remembrance Week) fabulous "White" cloth Poppies so generously provided to me by an acquaintance of ours, and yours, Nick Weeks; you may remember him.
Thank you Nick, I love reading the stories you share about the new home and your settling in. Keep them coming.

Howdy All,
Hope you are all keeping well - been a bit of a crazy year but starting to round up to a head now.. lets just say I can't wait for a holiday season break
So this is greatly related to nothing we do here but I was curious, as I often am, as to whether any of the forum visitors & members keep exotic pets and what it is that you keep?
Despite my initial thoughts and assumptions, it has become quite clear that the UK has a much higher concentration of Exotic Pet owners anmd traders than I had expected.
Seen as I'm asking the questions - here is a quick answer from my side:
1. Dumerils Boa
6. Mixed het. leopard geckos
10. New & Old World Tarantulas
My base infatuation with these creatures is their behavior and how they physiology and behavior changes as they get older. Aprt from the geckos the Tarantulas and my snake will live well into their twenties so in some cases the creatures you keep are more long term that looking after kids... which is also just fine by me
Thanks again All and remember to have some fun - Forever is a long time... even longer given the defecit of Rum LOL
"And so the lion fell in love with the Lamb"
"What a stupid Lamb"
"What a sick, masochistic lion"
Don't you just love life sometimes?
Isn't it just awesome!
I won't be posting three in one day. Don't want to take up the whole board.
Take care everyone.

Looking at Nifty I have noticed a huge increase in the Incest section. This is a weird mixture of fathers and sons. Now I do know that there was a period of about 6 months when my own son looked really hot, and I imagine a heterosexual father of a daughter finds her hot at some stage, too, but there seems to be a whole industry of stories about father/son sex. And any old excuse will do to get the two into a sexual scenario.

... firstly, the vidéo entitled "Am I normal - Penis?" on some obscure gay-adult blog when searching for something totally unrelated; and secondly, the originating web-site when I went looking for more information about it this remarkable short film and immediately thought of the youngsters (both hidden and not) who hang about our forum.

Some of you will wonder why I like this blog since it contains ~gasp~ ladies as well as gentlemen, and also has pieces of string involved, but, if you discount the pictures that are not to your taste, I think you will find a heady mine of things you like. At the current count there are 920 pages with 15 posts per page.
The ladies buggering the gentlemen are more interesting than I anticipated.

Apparently Brooke-Bond, the originators of the uniquely Canadian tea-blend "Red Rose" aren't the only ones. Straight (no pun intended) from the pages of this morning's online tabloid Pink News I give you:

... regarding the names Dave Kopay and Jerry Smith prompted me to follow the first of these links and subsequently each of the others in turn.
I am so very glad that I did, and I feel certain that you will be too; not-the-least amongst us being the ever present youngsters lurking in the background. Each segment is only 7-8 minutes in duration, and may viewed out of sequence with no loss in continuity.
Hard to believe that this story was playing our right before my very eyes as a youngster and I can't recall even being aware of it other than the two names.

The equinox will soon be upon us - Sunday, 22 September, 20.44 hrs GMT/UTC. The sun will appear to cross the equator somewhere mid-Pacific Ocean. Look after it, Kiwi, cos we'll need it back up here in the north in good condition. It'll be Monday with you, when it happens.
Hugs

I realised that we had failed to remove the forum form the Wayback Machine. I have taken steps today to remove it from that index. The main site is not in the index anyway.
If you know of other similar web archiving sites I would be grateful to know more about them, and, ideally, how to remove us from them.

Kicked Out For Being Gay, Young Man Goes On 'America's Got Talent' And Stuns Judges
NEW ORLEANS, LA -- A 20 year old unemployed youth from Lawrenceburg, Tennessee, told America's Got Talent's judges that his parents had kicked him out for being Gay. Jonathan Allen was thrown out of his house on his 18th birthday for being gay, he then was unemployed and decided to pursue his dream of singing by going on Americas Got Talent. WATCH:
Just the sugar-cured panacea needed to salve a goodly number of aches and pains; but, be forewarned the article includes three inter-related videos in addition to the central one being the subject of the story.

... news and information web-sites, usually in the predawn hours of early morning, my hitting upon at least a dozen or thereabouts of them, selected from a bookmarked list of those that have proven themselves to be of some merit.
This morning I realized that over the past month or so, amounting lately to about once in every three or four days, I had been reading what appears to be a somewhat regular feature at BOX TURTLE BULLETIN, a daily Blog our membership will recall has made a career out of reporting upon and admonishing "Religion Nazi" goings on, especially those taking place in troubled Africa. Largely because of that coverage, and the horrific details which seemed for a great long while to emanate daily from it's pages, I found myself avoiding the web-site as if it, itself, had the proverbial plague.
Over the past 10-years I have periodically written about one internet gem, or another, as I have stumbled upon them. TODAY IN HISTORY, a sub-text of nearly each day's THE DAILY AGENDA at BOX TURTLE BULLETIN is just such a feature; one that I find myself looking back and reading in the preceding few days of the Blog's daily coverage.
TODAY IN HISTORY is a topic widely reported by a goodly and disparate number of news services; but, what sets BOX TURTLE BULLETIN'S edition apart from all of the rest is its' completely gay-themed focus, and the in depth coverage of the stories it features. Many, if not most, of these vignettes, are American-centric; but all are significantly off-beat to be of value to readers everywhere for the often arcane knowledge imparted by the feature's authors.
This one too, is worthy of your time.

The definition of hate crime victims is now being extended to different groups.
Personally, I'm against the whole concept of defining something as a hate crime. If someone beats me up, I don't give a toss whether he's done it as a bit of random fun, or to steal my wallet, or because I'm gay. I want the bastard caught and punished as severely as the law allows.
If a woman is raped, why should it matter whether it's because the perpetrator hates women and wants to dominate them, or whether he just can't be bothered to control his desire, or even because he wants to make as many babies as he can?
My view is that the punishment for a crime should depend on the amount of suffering of the victim, not on the reason for the crime. Of course, if the guy beating me up does it while calling me a disgusting queer, that may add to my suffering and thereby deserve a more severe sentence.
Trying to get a jury to really understand what was going on the the mind of the criminal is fraught with problems. Maybe he doesn't hate queers and is beating me up for another reason but adding the 'queer' insults because he wants to cause me more anguish. Then perhaps he could bring evidence that he doesn't hate queers and get off the 'hate crime' aspect of the charges against him. Yet I will still have had the same suffering and anguish.
So, I'd get rid of the whole legal concept of hate crimes.
This hot on the heels of another famous person's candid, if not entirely tongue-in-cheek response a week earlier, as revealed by THE PINK NEWS to an over-enthusiastic fan having slipped him his telephone number with the suggestion that he should call.

Shows a petite lad, in distress, being handled unpleasantly by a Sydney cop. It's hard to work out if he had transgressed previously, but he is way outclassed by the bulk of the cop who throws him to the ground.

Hey, probably not the best place to ask, I know, but I'm looking for someone with some German experience to help me with a story. I should ask the editors, sure, but none of them list German, so it seemed a waste of time there.
So, if anyone is any good with written German or knows someone who is and is willing to read a 12 chapter short story and clean up and improve German vocabulary of a German student newly arrived in America with only television and print experience in English, can you give me a hand?
It's not a very long story, and you can finish it in a afternoon or evening. The character has a speaking part, but not large, and only in places, so it isn't a huge chore.
If interested, please PM me or email me, or hit my site in my signature and email me using the blue EMAIL links at the top of the page.
