MALAYSIA CUTS SHORT MIC FT AFTER BRISH BAND SLAMS ANTI-GAY LAWS, SGER KISS MALE BANDMATE

Homosexual acts are illegal Malaysia and punishable by f and up to 20 years prison. You are young people, and I’m sure a lot of you are gay and progrsive, ” he said addrsg the dience. KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — Malaysia’s ernment Saturday cut short a mic ftival after the lead sger of Brish band The 1975 slammed the untry’s anti-gay laws and kissed a male bandmate durg their performance.

”Healey ed profany his speech cricizg the ernment’s stance agast homosexualy, before kissg bass player Ross MacDonald.

JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS ASSISTANT COACH KEV MAXEN MAK HISTORY AFTER COMG OUT AS GAY

Homosexualy is a crime the untry that is punishable by up to 20 years prison and agency charge of approvg performanc by foreign artists said was disappoted wh the band’s nduct, llg “an sult and disrpectg the laws of the untry. ” It said the group will be blacklisted om performg wasn’t the first time that Healy ed the stage to fend lbian and gay rights. In 2019, he kissed a male fan durg a ncert the Uned Arab Emirat, which also outlaws homosexual acts, acrdg to media reports.

Kev Maxen, an assistant ach for the Jacksonville Jaguars, ma sports history after publicly g out as gay.

Maxen’s disclosure is a historic one, makg him the first openly gay ach of a U. Maxen’s announcement two years after NFL star Carl Nassib beme the league’s first active openly gay player.

US WHE SUPREMACISTS FOUND GUILTY OF GAY PRI RT PLOT

“I jt wanted to take a quick moment to say that I’m gay, ” the former Las Vegas Rairs player, 30, revealed a June 2021 Instagram vio. Image source, North Country Off Grid/Youtube/via RtersImage ptn, Photos shared on social at the time allegedly showed dozens of the hate group's members beg arrted near the pri eventFive members of a whe supremacist hate group nvicted of plottg to rt at a gay pri event will spend three days jail, a urt has men and dozens other members of the Patrt Front group were arrted last June after a rint spotted them wh masks and shields gettg to a were lled and found rt gear and a smoke grena the lorry was stopped near where the North Idaho Pri Alliance was holdg an event the cy of Cor d'Alene.

The views exprsed here are the thor's Councilman John Duran seems to hab a "post gay" world that no one else I know is privy to. I fer om his "post gay" rant that he means there is no longer any need to take a stand for the rights and eedoms of the LGBT muny bee said rights & eedoms are sudnly a fa acpli.

WHAT IS "POST GAY" AND WHAT DO IT MEAN?

I wouldn't try to nvce 22 year old Victor Diego of that, who was beaten up & nearly killed on Hollywood Boulevard last July what police termed a gay hate crime. Told a lol news terviewer that homosexualy should be a felony punishable by ath.

I n't tell if he liv Duran's "post gay" era or not. I gus that would make them "pre gay" era. Tennsee state senator Stacey Campbell recently sponsored a bill lled "Don't Say Gay", that would make illegal to mentn same genr preference the classroom & require teachers to rm parents of stunts they spect of exhibg gay behavr.

As of March 2013, 60% of Louisiana thks beg gay should be illegal and Kentucky ntu to pave the way for almost unndnal discrimatn agast gay people. Iran seems to hang gay people on a regular basis, Senegal's penal  lls for imprisonment of gay people and Senegale police regularly target gay men for arrt and extortn, as do other sub Saharan Ain untri that enforce laws crimalizg gay relatnships. An Iranian Ayatollah recently referred to gays as ferr to dogs and pigs and said that AIDS did not exist before gay people.

OUT GAY PRO WRTLER AC MACK LEAV THE RG AS AN SPIRATN

So we n have our "Go Go Boy" ft on Santa Moni Boulevard Wt Hollywood, but I wouldn't try Rsia which has enacted very new anti gay laws as of April 8, 2013, or Lhuania which forbids gay relatnships by natnal law.

They haven't entered Duran's "post gay era" yet and such an event uld brg out the worst of the "pre gay era" them. When Duran uttered those ane words, I was remd of 32 year old Mark Carson Greenwich Village who, on May 21, 2013, was shot the face by a manial acster who kept shoutg gay slurs at him.

They too still live the "pre gay era" where hatred of gay people still subjects them to harassment, dignatn and often ath. I'm also remd of a lol gay wrer, who years ago wrote an article that even then seemed to reflect Duran's current "post gay era" mentaly. " There are now and always have been gay people who experience cel and hurtful discrimatn on a daily basis, outsi of Duran's pompo bubble.

JAGUARS ASSOCIATE STRENGTH ACH OUT AS GAY A FIRST FOR US-BASED PRO LEAGU

They never experienced Duran's "Post Gay Era" bee don't exist any more than there is a post discrimatn era for any group or mory that has spent life tim, ed generatns, fightg for equal rights & digny but never havg really experienced or gaed them and never havg known te eedom their whole liv. There are no feral laws protectg gays & lbians om discrimatn the workplace based on their sexual orientatn, 14 stat have anti sodomy laws on the books as "crim agast nature" & even as we approach 2014, there are Uned Stat senators & others llg for the ath penalty for gay men & women.

I thk John Duran's "post gay era" is prently too futuristic to be perceivable to those of who live the real world & experience discrimatn as a way of life. Sunday’s “Great Midwtern Trendkill” event wasn’t the first time out gay pro wrtler AC Mack stepped to a Naptown All-Pro Wrtlg rg, but will be his last. He is an out gay Black man the South who thrived, buildg human nnectns whose strength manifted the emotnal rponse by the ACTION fanbase when he announced he was leavg -rg petn last month.

WE'VE ALSO WRTEN ABOUT OR WILL WRE ABOUT SHOWS LIKE THE SECRET CIRCLE, TERRA NOVA, PAN AM, CHARLIE'S ANGL AND SO {BOX-SIZG:BORR-BOX;PADDG:24PX 0;} A{LOR:#354A4E;-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;} A:HOVER, A:FOC{-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:NONE;TEXT-RATN:NONE;} B, STRONG{FONT-WEIGHT:700;}ANYWAY, BY VERG THOSE THGS HERE ON AE, WE HOPE TO PROVI A PLACE WHERE GAY AND BI FOLKS N DISCS THE SHOWS AND MOVI OM A GAY {BOX-SIZG:BORR-BOX;PADDG:24PX 0;} A{LOR:#354A4E;-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;} A:HOVER, A:FOC{-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:NONE;TEXT-RATN:NONE;} B, STRONG{FONT-WEIGHT:700;}CLEARLY, GIVEN THE MENTS, NOT EVERYONE FEELS THAT WAY. AND THAT IS A PERFECTLY VALID POT-OF-VIEW. A NUMBER OF FOLKS FEEL AFTERELTON SHOULD BE SOLELY ABOUT GAY POP CULTURE AND GAY POP CULTURE ONLY. AFTER ALL, IF WE'RE VERG MORE "MASTREAM" STUFF, DON'T THAT MEAN THAT WE'RE VERG LS OF THE MORE OBSCURE OR "GE" GAY STUFF?{BOX-SIZG:BORR-BOX;PADDG:24PX 0;} A{LOR:#354A4E;-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;} A:HOVER, A:FOC{-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:NONE;TEXT-RATN:NONE;} B, STRONG{FONT-WEIGHT:700;}FROM TIME TO TIME, THAT MAY BE TE, AT LEAST WHEN TO GE GAY STUFF WE DON'T LIKE OR SHOWS WH BARELY THERE GAY CHARACTERS WHO GET SO LTLE SCREENTIME AS TO BE MEANGLS. (OH, LOOK, THERE'S MELROSE PLACE! AND PRIVILEGED! AND LIPSTICK JUNGLE!) THEN AGA, WE'RE JT GOG WHERE OUR REARS, AND OUR TRAFFIC STATISTICS, ARE POTG {BOX-SIZG:BORR-BOX;PADDG:24PX 0;} A{LOR:#354A4E;-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;} A:HOVER, A:FOC{-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:NONE;TEXT-RATN:NONE;} B, STRONG{FONT-WEIGHT:700;}IS TERT THIS "MASTREAM" NTENT THE RULT OF A GENERATN GAP? MAYBE, MAYBE NOT. BUT I DO SPECT MANY YOUNGER FOLKS DO SEE THEMSELV MORE OF A POST-GAY WORLD AND ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE HAPPY TO SEE THE {BOX-SIZG:BORR-BOX;PADDG:24PX 0;} A{LOR:#354A4E;-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;} A:HOVER, A:FOC{-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:NONE;TEXT-RATN:NONE;} B, STRONG{FONT-WEIGHT:700;}BASILLY, THEY'D RATHER READ ABOUT OR WATCH A GOOD "MASTREAM" PROJECT, EVEN IF 'S NOT SPECIFILLY GAY, THAN A HORRIBLE GAY "GE" ONE. AND THEY'D LIKE THAT VERAGE TO HAVE OUR GAY PERSPECTIVE AND TO BE ABLE TO DISCS WH OTHER GAY AND GAY-IENDLY FOLKS A SAFE SPACE. (TST ME, NOT EVERY TV SHOW BOARD WANTS TO HEAR WHAT WE THK ABOUT A PROGRAM'S "BROMANCE."){BOX-SIZG:BORR-BOX;PADDG:24PX 0;} A{LOR:#354A4E;-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;} A:HOVER, A:FOC{-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:NONE;TEXT-RATN:NONE;} B, STRONG{FONT-WEIGHT:700;}ANOTHER FACTOR IS SIMPLY OUR NEEDG TO NTUE TO GROW. WE'VE BEEN AROUND FOR FIVE+ YEARS NOW, AND WHILE WE'VE GROWN DRAMATILLY, WE'VE GOT TO KEEP GROWG. I DON'T NEED TO REMD FOLKS THAT THIS SE IS AD-DRIVEN (AND PLETELY EE TO OUR REARS). THAT MEANS WE NEED TO BE GENERATG ENOUGH REVENUE DIFFERENT WAYS TO KEEP PAYG THE BILLS. IF WE DON'T DO THAT, ONE DAY THERE WON'T BE ANY AFTERELTON AT {BOX-SIZG:BORR-BOX;PADDG:24PX 0;} A{LOR:#354A4E;-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;} A:HOVER, A:FOC{-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:NONE;TEXT-RATN:NONE;} B, STRONG{FONT-WEIGHT:700;}GIVEN THE SUCCS WE'VE HAD WH SOME OF THE NON-GAY SHOWS MENTNED ABOVE, THIS STRATEGY SEEMS THE BT WAY TO ENSURE THAT WE KEEP GROWG AND THAT, WELL, WE'RE ABLE TO PAY THOSE {BOX-SIZG:BORR-BOX;PADDG:24PX 0;} A{LOR:#354A4E;-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;} A:HOVER, A:FOC{-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:NONE;TEXT-RATN:NONE;} B, STRONG{FONT-WEIGHT:700;}FOR THE RERD, I DON'T SEE THIS A HUGE CHANGE. AS I SAID BEFORE, WE'VE ALWAYS VERED SOME STUFF THAT ISN'T GAY OR BISEXUAL, AND BROANG OUR SPE DON'T MEAN WE'RE GOG TO STOP VERG GAY AND BISEXUAL NTENT. THAT WOULD BE WHY I GOT J.J. ABRAMS ON THE RERD TALKG ABOUT STAR TREK. THAT'S WHY I JT TERVIEWED DREW GSBERG, THE GAY GUY ON BRAVO'S NEW REALY SHOW DALLAS: MOST ELIGIBLE. AND THAT'S WHY WE'LL BE FOLLOWG ALL SORTS OF FALL SHOWS WH GAY CHARACTERS LIKE MORN FAY, THE PLAYBOY CLUB, HAPPY ENDGS, GLEE AND SO {BOX-SIZG:BORR-BOX;PADDG:24PX 0;} A{LOR:#354A4E;-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;} A:HOVER, A:FOC{-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:NONE;TEXT-RATN:NONE;} B, STRONG{FONT-WEIGHT:700;}WE THK WE'VE GOT A PRETTY GREAT SE HERE, AND REALLY GREAT REARS.
