Is Russell Howard gay?

By Thinking32 Comments

I seem to get a lot of search results from people typing in: is Russell Howard gay?

I don’t think he is, I am sure when I went seeing him (see Russell Howard, Campness & Heating) he said he had a girlfriend. But I did find this funny clip of him talking about teaching about gay relationships to children:

Very funny. He makes a good point though, kids don’t care about who you have relationships with. Why is it so important when we become adults?

Write soon,

I ran out of Milk

By Life, Thinking2 Comments

This morning I ran out of Milk. It happens. So I popped on some clothes and headed down to the shop. I am walking up the street and see two men (one on each path opposite sides of the road) wearing a shirt, tie and pants. Both the young men are good looking. The one on my side of the road approaches me.

He introduces his self. I am smiling at the beautiful man and then he starts talking about Jesus Christ. Damn, I’ve been caught by a good looking man! He tells me that Faith in Christ can help me resolve personal and family challenges. He discusses at lengh about family being important. (I don’t disagree with that.)

I explain that I am gay and pagan, which he seems to ignore. Usually they recoil in horror and walk away. We discussed where the church is (I asked!). He gave me a leaflet. And then we parted, him continuing his journey to convert/persuade and me continuing my journey to the shop.

I think it is very clever that they use good looking people to draw you in. Overall it was an odd experience. I looked at the leaflet, it appeared they where mormons. I looked up their views on their website that they gave me, they are not positive on the gays:

“People inquire about our position on those who consider themselves so-called gays and lesbians. My response is that we love them as sons and daughters of God. They may have certain inclinations which are powerful and which may be difficult to control. Most people have inclinations of one kind or another at various times. If they do not act upon these inclinations, then they can go forward as do all other members of the Church. If they violate the law of chastity and the moral standards of the Church, then they are subject to the discipline of the Church, just as others are.
(from: http://www.mormon.org/mormonorg/eng/basic-beliefs/glossary/glossary-definition/homosexuality, Accessed online: 4th July 09)

But that is most christian religions for you. I have many christian friends (including some mormon’s). However homosexuality is seen in nature, so is it not natural? (I won’t get in to that debate!)

However this young man did look like he had gay tendencies. I feel sorry for him growing up being oppressed religion and that condems gay, lesbian and bisexual people. I pray that he finds his way.

Blogs that have come to an end

By The Web, Thinking4 Comments

Blogs it seems have a natural life cycle. This is evident by the following recent blogs that have come to an end:

1. Sye’s Blog – A blog of my close pagan friend. His blog has come to an end as he is going to University. (Good look Sye, if your reading, I am positive without a doubt that you will be hugely successful.)

2. My Journey Out – A really interesting read an a unique outlook on a married guy who comes out gay to his wife and builds a new life for himself. He had issues with his former employer. It’s sooo wrong, your personal experiences should have nothing to do with your employment (providing ofcourse that it doesn’t effect your ability to do your job).

3. Phoenix2k – This guy’s blog seemed really interesting, but he just seemed to move on and stop bloging for a while. Then he stated he was going to redesign and start a new blog, but he just didn’t get round to it. Guess his blogging may have been just a phase?

4. R* Y A N – A blog of a gay guy in Australia. He blogged about his life and times and then felt it was time to move on.

The key theme of blogs ending seems to be that people feel it is time to move on or that there story has been told. I myself have experienced this, a few years before I had a blog. I had the initial excitement of writing posts, customising, etc. And then over time, I seemed to run out of ideas/inspiration/topics and life happened and then I felt it was time to move on from the blog.

Luckily I haven’t run out of ideas/inspiration/topics yet. (Or possibly unlucky for you? lol)

I would like to thank those who I have written blogs both past and present and entertained me. I have removed the blog links of blogs that have stopped blogging.

Now my only question is: Where can I find more interesting and witty blogs? Know any? Post a comment and let me know.

Blog Soon,

Antony

We need to fight against them

By ThinkingNo Comments

As many of you may have read or heard the BNP did well in the recent elections. The BNP have a history of racism & homophobia. Normally I wouldn’t give them the time of day on this blog, but these are exceptional circumstances. We need to fight against them.

They have done well because of the recent public anger at MP’s expenses as reported by the Telegraph. I understand and empathise with the various points of view (and perhaps at some point will give mine), but lets just focus here, yeah?

The BNP say all sorts of mad things including: immigrants brought drug addiction with them, immigrants should all be sent back to the countries of their origins. Let’s value equality for all and celebrate diversity that makes this country great.

A organisation called Hope Not Hate has been set up to fight against the BNP. They have set up an online petition called ‘Not in My Name’. It is to say that you don’t recognise or want the recently elected BNP memebers in the European Parliament. Whilst it won’t achieve their removal, it will show that we stand united against racism and homophobia.

Sign the petition here: http://action.hopenothate.org.uk/page/s/notinmyname

Many thanks,

Antony
