Dear President Hu Jintao, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, president of the People's Republic of China, chairman of the Central Military Commission;

Jew and LGBT people were marched to death camps together. Israel protects the equality of LGBT people today for that reason.

Hateful religious oppression of LGBT people is the motivation behind refusals to recognize Israel as a State, aiding attacks against it, religion conspiring with religion today, with their own agenda of conspiring against each other tomorrow, agendas which are not peaceful, and, costing all governments dearly, hurting China too.

We seem to be going it alone. It seems that way. We love China, the PRC, but we do not have your assurances that you will help defend Israel's defense of LGBTs.

Can you reassure us? Let us know you are not supporting the hateful-religious oppressors of LGBTs whom foment attacks against Israel? The issues are inseperable.

Please reassure us. We love and need you.

Kind Regards,
Clayton Winton

Censoring 'Gay' at Public Library (cont'd)

Re: Newport Library issue with Gay Pride Spokane search

From:
Clayton Winton

Thank you, Shar, however, the "call somebody else" routine is the run-around every gay man gets at the Newport Library. Nobody should have to ask permission to click a link from a Google search for GAY PRIDE SPOKANE.

Nobody should have to go to Admin, in a silent room, tell them they need GAY ACCESS.

Nobody should then have to wait for somebody to enter a password to bypass a CENSOR screen because they are GAY.

You know how a Google search is, if you look up GAY PRIDE, there might be a few dozen links you'd like to research. Wrong stuff? Well, too bad, the censor screen came up, you had to go ask permission, wait, they entered the password to bypass the censor screen, then you find-out it's the wrong info., so you click another link, another CENSOR block, go back to Admin ...

TIME'S UP -- you only get one hour.

We Gay people are CENSORED from PRIDE and GAY HISTORY at a Public Library in Newport, WA, and given the endless-run-around, call here, ask this, ask that, call somebody ELSE.

They sure 'sound reasonable' though. lol

It's discrimination. Period. Blatant. It's censorship. It's hate.

Please, before somebody gets so frustrated they go 'postal,' help me end the censorship, the discrimination, the hate.

Thank you, and kind regards, always,
Clayton Winton

Gay Marriage Anniversary

In response to:

EDGE Gay Blog
The Sky Has Yet to Fall in Mass.
Posted on May 17, 2011 by Michael K. Lavers


-- "Today is the seventh anniversary of marriage equality in Massachusetts."


MY WORDS:

Clayton Winton says:

May 18, 2011 at 5:26 pm (but it's 9:49AM here)


The courage to speak out, to dissent against Legislators’ religious-preferential-treatment which has quagmired courts well into the next century, is a BelovedTreasure, a Freedom taken for-granted all-to-often.

They teach us to say we are ‘equal,’ yet deny us the equal opportunities to unite our love through marriage, offering ‘alternatives’ instead which are Jim Crow-isms, ‘seperate-but-equal’ which is neither equal-marriage nor equality; deny health insurance plans due to sexual-orientation, hire us last and fire us first, and we can’t even serve in the clergy to dispute or interpret the obvious misinterpretations of liturgy that teaches hatred against us.

Until we can marry in the same churches that claim we must ‘apologize’ for being ‘gay’ in order to ‘reap the benefits of heaven,’ until our love is recognized as non-gender-specific just as ‘theirs’ is; then we are not ‘equal,’ we are second-class citizens in a fake ‘classless-society’ worldwide.

Both Christdom and Islamdom think if a Gay person ‘apologizes properly,’ then they may go to ‘heaven’, which means they will no longer be ‘gay’, but ‘fixed.’

There can be no such place as ‘heaven’ without gay people in it, or it’s a place of hate.

By Trevor Thomas
"I was 19 years old when I came out. It was 2004. I had driven from my campus apartment at Grand Valley State to my parents’ house in Marne in the same Chevy Camaro I had once contemplated running into a tree. The altar-boy at St. Mary’s Catholic Church (third grade through sophomore year) knew that homosexuality was a sin, but suicide was, too.
Mom sat on the couch and Dad on the love seat. I debated if I should use the word "gay" -- which I despised for its stigma -- or "homosexual."

"I went with gay. Mom pulled my college funding.

"Fast forward seven years later, it's not all that much different today with Dave Agema, my hometown representative, trying to pull funding from public universities across the state. Agema's recent amendment to an education budget bill will penalize our state schools and universities five percent if they offer any kind of financial assistance to lesbian and gay couples.

"This is homophobia in action and it is hurting our kids and our state. Michigan's unemployment rate continues to rank worst in the nation. Thousands have lost their jobs and their pensions cut (including members of my own family), and anyone with a job is in fear of being the next on the chopping block. And we've been steadily losing population since 2006, according to the 2010 census report.

"Our state desperately needs to attract young people as so many choose to attend schools and find much needed experience out of state. The homophobia isn't helping. The Grand Rapids Press pointed out in a recent editorial that opposition to gay and lesbian partner benefits is the "wrong direction for Michigan as it seeks to broaden its appeal to young people in particular."

"We must recruit and educate the best and the brightest talent for our area schools and universities -- not push people away with discriminatory measures. The generation of our parents helped put the world on wheels; we cannot allow a bigoted amendment to stop our path to progress.

"Luckily, there are signs of hope from the Corporate Equality Index, which rates many of our nation’s leading companies on inclusive policies and benefits. The Big Three, for example, have always ranked at the top, recognizing the critical need to train and attract the best work force on the planet -- including lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.

"Of the four companies in America jumping more than 30 points to attain 100 percent scores in 2011, two are from west Michigan: Steelcase Inc. and Kellogg Co. Both are leading the way in the private sector with a strong corporate ethos that recognizes that for their employees, this isn’t about “rights.” It’s about punching the clock and making sure their partner can get a mammogram or their kid can get a cavity filled.

"Even President Gerald R. Ford, Grand Rapids' “hometown son,” advocated for acceptance and recognition of for our gay brothers and sisters. In 2002, Ford joined the advisory board of the Republican Unity Coalition, a group of gay and straight allies working for more acceptance of LGBT Americans and issues within the Republican Party. At the time, Ford was asked by Detroit News reporter Deb Price if gay couples should receive equal benefits and he replied, “I think they ought to be treated equally. Period.”

"Mr. Agema should look to our corporate neighbors and our local leaders and stop his legislative gay-bashing. Life is already full of challenges. God knows it is not easy for struggling youth who grow up feeling different -- myself included.

"In 2004, The Press published a letter I penned about my own struggles and an incident where strangers in a car tried to humiliate me for simply being myself -- a gay man. At the time I wrote, "I understood where they were coming from. I, too, once thought those thoughts. But now I see things differently. I see a life, certainly harder, but a life of shamelessness. A life of hope.

"Since then I have come into my own as a gay man and as a professional. My parents, too, have come a long way. I plan to return to Michigan soon. And I hope by the time I do, Dave Agema and other legislators will realize that laws that reinforce stigma don’t just kill jobs in our state, they can kill people. I understand this stigma. I’ve lived it, and before coming out I had even believed it. We must end the bullying and end Mr. Agema’s crusade against gay and lesbian people, now."

Heather , the wrongs of 'labeling'

HEATHER ! Another name being molested into a derogatory LABEL to accuse gay people of being 'worse' than 'straights'. (more below)
35 minutes ago via Mobile Web


While growing up Gay, I got a figurative 40 LASHES A DAY, subtle comments about that, followed by comments about being blonde. If I were female, gay and blonde AND named "Heather," I'd probably have killed myself.
32 minutes ago via Mobile Web

I loved the movie, "Heathers," a 'cult classic,' as the saying goes, it's great entertainment, with alot of social imagry making for BIG statements in SMALL packages, best kinds of films there are.
29 minutes ago via Mobile Web

I know several women of that name, and I can just 'feel' the 'insecurity-vibe' developing in their 'straight' personas around gay people now, a form of pre-approved-4-discrimination 'clause' sweeping the social circuit, reverse imagry, 'gays' btaking the blame (as though we don't make 'straights' uncomfortable already, AS IS).
25 minutes ago via Mobile Web

THE same 'take it on the chin' and 'turn the other cheek' kinda 'vibe' when somebody uses the 'n-word' or the 'fag' label, or, since I'm blonde, makes "stupid blonde" innuendi in their so-called 'laughs,' no different than stealing crutches from cripples and calling it a 'joke' as they crawl away.
22 minutes ago via Mobile Web

And today, I see a bunch of new FB-usernames, like, "Heather Feather" sending 'friend requests' to my friends, leaving me wondering why? Why do they hide behind fake names? ARE THEY ASHAMED OF WHO THEY ARE? Or trying to shame us?
19 minutes ago via Mobile Web

We Gay people of the world (Gaylandis) have been the butt of 'straight' 'jokes,' set-up for failure, marched to death camps, economically and 'spiritually' CAST-OUT and denied equality, turned into human-experiments so often, so much, it's hard not to see the obvious patterns of USURY ...

GAY PURGE: Pastor says "gays should die"

Clayton Winton
Pastor says : "KILL GAYS" FROM ARTICLE: Is a "Kill The Gays" bill headed for New York City?

At Sunday’s anti-gay marriage rally in New York City, sponsored by the National Organization For Marriage, one pastor, Rev. Ariel Torres Ortega of Radio Visión Cristiana, told the several thousand people in attendance that gays should die.

MY COMMENT:

-- DEATH CAMPS 4QT , Christdom and Islamdom want 'peace' and that's the only thing they agree with.

This sentiment is growing, religions more rabid than ever, as I've said over and over and over, right here in FB, writing "FreedomPsalms" 4TheGurlz.

1000/babies born per day with HIV, the cost of anti-viral drug therapy is $15,000/yr, and the numbers of new infections are increasing, not 'decreasing,' but increasing. Funds, donated or 'granted,' have gone from 3% of total towards Administration costs, to as much as 90% to paperwork pushers making 'careers' claiming they are 'helping,' but only doing it for the photo-op, to profit from atop the rubble, misery and grief.

Gay Purges are in full-operation in many countries through-out the world right now. Most of it is economics, subtle, victims being blamed for 'self-destruction' after being targeted.

And it's occuring within US communities, also.

We are at war; an ugly evil declared against us, neither asked for nor wanted, but that's where we are right now.

As the healthcare costs increase, funds for Gay issues decrease, and of that decreased-$ amount, most is consumed by career-oriented paperwork-pushers and talkers, whom have never held the hands of the dieing, never spoon-fed the ill, never had the courage of a Drag Queen to raise a dollar to pay for quality-of-life items such as cable-TV for terminal patients, or 'Shock-n-Awe' awareness for the heroes defending freedom in the military.

We must set-aside our petty differences, unite in Harvey Milk's "rainbow of diversity" and build a PeaceBridge, a RingAroundTheWorld, our ARMS AROUND THE WORLD, in love with equality, with Humanity, the entire HumanityFamily.

there is NO OTHER WINNABLE OPTION.

Death of Gay-friendly Father

Death of Gay-friendly Father

My ex-lover’s cat, Rama, died. I’d cared for him 18 years. I went out to a gay bar I’ve been going to for decades, Dempsey’s Brass Rail in Spokane, WA., although not a ‘bar=person.’ I just needed the comfort of friends, my ex-lover absent for a decade.

I was doing some house-sitting in Spokane, why I was in the city, months of Nov-Jan., off and on, a couple weeks here and there. While in town, I visited Dempsey’s, my heart ‘dead,’ as far as looking for romance goes, nobody and nothing ‘attractive’ to me, in years. And met a Drag Queen, not much of a fan of Drag, but with each visit, this particular performer warmed my heart, gradually healing wounds, bruises I thought were unhealable.

I watched him perform, talked to him a few times, met him, enjoyed everything about it, though did not become ‘close,’ but after Rama died, I thought I might like to try to be his friend, to get to know him. It took me a couple months just to admit to myself I was attracted. I thought that part of me had died too.
At Dempsey’s, an old friend Mark was there. I was there to have my heart warmed, and excited to tell him, and he interrupted to break it, telling me how Father Gigl SJ, PhD, was in intensive care. He’d introduced me to him not last decade, but the decade before. I kept trying to change subjects, because the news jolted me, threatened to erase the healing of my heart that I’d been struggling to heal for years. But he’d tell me to ‘listen,’ and I know it wasn’t to be mean, but because nobody had heard him and he was worried and grieving. So I did, I listened, and consoled as best I could.

My favorite performer came on-stage, and even so, I listened.

At the Care Center, the next day and every day, I held Father’s hand as he lay dieing. We had a very personal, confidential friendship, confidants with one another, my theological background and his own butting heads, he ashamed of my ‘gayness,’ embarrassed to be around me in the presence of ‘straights,’ due to all the insinuations, raised eyebrows, accusations and outright hateful rumormongerings. I knew that. I always struggled with it. It hurts.

And so I struggled with it, as he did, while holding his hand while he lay dieing. Every day for a couple weeks, I’d hold it together, emotionally, uplift he and I, telling him about one of the most wonderful people I’d ever met, someone with inner beauty, cute in and out, in so many ways, things I’d noticed right off the bat, every time he performed, when we’d chat briefly, occasional hugs of hello or goodbye.

And even while dieing, Father was ashamed of my ‘gayness,’ embarrassed that some stranger, a nurse, an aide, a visitor, might accuse him, judge him, because of me.

Every day, I told him more. Little at a time. I told him the first cute thing I noticed about him, “MFRK,” a stage-name, Miss Freedom Rights Kaine, was that he moved quickly, not a fake ‘majesty’ holier-than-thou ‘get-out-of-my-way’ while blocking isles or doorways or stairs type o person, but one that waited patiently, then moved quickly through openings in the crowd as not to disrupt or bother any one. And that is so cute.

And I told him that he doesn’t have that fake smile of self-important types, that he smiles genuinely, a wonderful smile, the smile of a cute person, someone I admire.

And I told him he was physically attractive too, and, whispering, softly, I told him he even has a cute little butt.

Father shifted uncomfortably, eyes darting around the room momentarily. I didn’t want to make him uncomfortable. “That’s enough of that,” he muttered. And the shame he felt for me for geing gay, burned in me.

I’d start over another day, because in telling him, while holding the hand of a dieing man, one of the hardest things a person may do in life, my love for MFRK helped me through, and more importantly, constructed a bridge over a massive divide between clergy and Gay, something all of our long confidential discussions over the years could never do.

The fourth cute thing I noticed about MFRK was he was attentive to the room, noticed who was doing what, not for attention to see who was ‘admiring’ him, but obviously because he was aware of more important issues, security, safety, and who may need assistance, or just a friendly encouraging word.

On some days, Father couldn’t stop moaning, the pain too great. I’d try to tell him wonderful things, anything to take his mind off the misery.

The fifth cute thing I noticed about MFRK is his kindness and respect for others, which relates back to the fourth cute thing, a sign of wisdom and compassion, concerned that the actions and words of others, including his own may cause discomfort, so out of respect he strived to be aware of that, and that quality of human existence is so cute, very cute.

The sixth cute thing I noticed about MFRK, was he has a unique and cute dance style, a discipline all his own, not something he ‘just happened’ to ‘discover,’ nor copied from a video, but an intense admiration of the art, and years of working at it, and that is so cute.

Father smiled. He was listening, even through the pain. He appreciated that. Was he starting to see? Was the other-side of that gulf visible from that figurative bridge?

He thinks Gay people are ‘weak,’ and ‘undisciplined,’ and need beg ‘forgiveness’ for their ‘sin.’ I think different. He never wanted to hear it. He just ‘knew’ what was ‘right,’ according to his Jesuit training, and all else was ‘bunk,’ not even ‘worth’ listening to.

“There can’t be a place called ‘Heaven’ without MFRK in it, Father, without Gay people in it, Father, our love is just as real is anyone else’s, our art, our history, our compassion, our talents, our existence just as EQUAL.”

And we’d had that discussion many times before, different words, different days, different moods, different circumstances. While dieing, those words, those thoughts, regardless of words, might have greater significance.

I told him the seventh cute thing I noticed about MFRK is how he sits, cute people sit a ‘certain way’ no matter how relaxed or poised, and he’s just cute.

He laughed, and I know it wasn’t at me. He knew. He understood. He was ‘getting it’ about me. And I cried, hugged him, told him I loved him. Then he got irritated, and said he wasn’t going to listen to anymore, stuggling with inner=pains.

I told him MFRK also displays another cute quality, he listens.

He laughed. Heart melting.

I sang him “Our Father,” and no matter what anybody says, under those circumstances, softly in his ear, anybody that says it’s “not appropriate” is just plain wrong.

And I sang it every day to him, because that’s what connected him to Earth, to humanity, what he knew most, and I took years of my life to learn about it, all of it, in respect not just for him, but for Jesuits the world over, with just as much scholarly diligence as the numerous other religions I have studied, seeking the ‘root’ which had gone ‘bad,’ fomenting hatred of Gays.

The Good Works of humans, the Human Family, what I call the HumanityFamily, is made by HANDS, and I told him MFRK has cute hands too.

He smiled. Looked me in the eye, touched my cheek, “You love him.”

“Uh,” I hadn’t admitted it yet, I choked up, “I guess so, Father.

“Doesn’t matter how he feels, you keep loving him, never stop.”

“I won’t, Father. I won’t. And he’s forgiving, Father, the cutest part of being cute there is.”
