From YO RAPS! Magazine....
"Every time I've been writing here I was nagging about something new, something that has some message not only half naked ladies dancing in front of guys. And here they are! God-Des and She, a hip-hop duo, who are getting slowly into mainstream hip-hop scene with smart, fly, cool, and deep lyrics. At the first glance their video to Love You Better doesn't tell about any special story. It's a love story of a girl falling for, yes, indeed, another girl."
The video was directed by Current VC2 Producer Dave O'BrienFrom YO RAPS! Magazine....

For years, Polk Gulch was one of the most notorious neighborhoods in San Francisco, home to drug addicts, prostitutes and some of the city's seediest nightlife. But it was also an early mecca for the city's gay community -- years before the Castro District. Over the last decade, neighborhood groups have been trying to cut crime and drug use in the area and attract a new clientèle composed of the young and well-to-do. But in the process, some say, they are erasing the last remnants of the neighborhood's LGBT past.For years, Polk Gulch was one of the most notorious neighborhoods in San Francisco,... more

Last Friday, Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling revealed that one of the central characters in the series, Hogwarts headmaster Albus Dumbledore, was gay. Though Rowling says her books are a "prolonged argument for tolerance," some conservatives attacked the revelation, saying it was "revolting" and vindication for the late Rev. Jerry Falwell's homophobia.Last Friday, Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling revealed that one of the central... more

For three years now, I have been taking intrest to the same sex. This summer, I met this girl named Alyssa and she's the best thing I could ever ask for. By luck, she's intrested in girls as well. We hung out over the summer, and after awhile, she became my best friend. That being said and done, I invited her and two other friends over for a birthday party and it was a sleepover. Alyssa got tired and dozed off, sitting on top of my friend Ashley. (Ashley's straight, just friendly.) My parents came into the basement and saw. Alyssa and I spent the rest of the night together.
The next day, after everyone left, I was banned from seeing Alyssa for the rest of my life because my parents hate gays. My parents didn't know about me being like that yet. So, from October to November I spent three days a week finding ways to see her. I asked Alyssa out in the beginning of November, reciving a loud and excited "Yes". The weekend after Thanksgiving, I went to see her. Us two and two of my friends sat around watching music videos. We cuddled the whole night.
When I went home, I got a phone call. My friend from school wanted to know what happened. Not knowing my mom snuck on the other line, I told her all about it. That night, before I got my cell phone taken away, I spent three hours on the phone with my girlfriend, both of us crying because I was ready to run away or risk my life to see her.
It has been only a month, and every day I get so sick. Literally, get myself sick because I worry about her so much. I've talked to her a bit on the phone when I can and she hasn't been doing so well either. Anybody have any advice?For three years now, I have been taking intrest to the same sex.

A 17 year girl was suspended by a homophobic teacher who was offended by two overlapping female symbols. The ACLU objects and is suing the teacher for a violation of the student's first amendment right to freedom of expression. The assistant principal explained to the student's parents that the teacher was so offended by the shirt that she could not teach. It seems this teacher needs a lesson in tolerance.A 17 year girl was suspended by a homophobic teacher who was offended by two... more

This documentary stands at 22 minutes. I made it as part of my degree program in Broadcast Visual design. In this film I basically come out of the HIV closet and let the world know my status. What is remarkable about this film, that I shot in 2000 during the run up to the presidential election, is that I reveal the fact that I had at that time probably had been HIV positive for close to 25 years, however, I want to be clear that these are speculations based on factual data.
During my teenage years from 12 to 18 I became sexually active. This was in the late 60's and early 70's. HIV was just beginning to make the rounds and working its way into humanity and being spread through fast and free sexual encounters. It hadn't had enough of an incubation period to start making people sick. I was sexually molested when I was 12 years old and quite possibly I could have been infected by that man. Today I am 46 years old. However, the molestation was not a traumatic experience in the sense that I got say "raped" violently against my will. I actually was interested and intrigued by the experience as well as being afraid of being "found out" or "shamed". The man that molested me was in his mid 30's.
I wanted to make a documentary that used my own personal experience to bring hope to those who would watch this film. I especially tailored it to target those who have recently found out that they are HIV positive. I believe very strongly that beside the best of what modern medicine has to offer to people, there is another dimension to disease that is psychosocialspiritual. The psychology that is at work is pretty evident, the social interactions and repercussions that are at work are also evident, however the spiritual nature of healing is not evident and is at great risk when the other two areas are unresolved and/or in chaos. In my life this was absolutely true because I had come to loathe myself and I longed for death as a release from the shame and the guilt that I was carrying around for being such a sexually active teen. Death had become a self fulfilling prophecy in my life.
Imagine how it feels when a person first hears those words "you have tested positive for HIV" it sounds as though someone is reading your death sentence. Feeling this way is a perfectly natural reaction. However, after we have gone through our initial shock and the grieving stage then we need to move into the empowerment stage. This is the stage wherein we take full ownership of our situation, we move away from blame or trying to find a reason "why this happened to us." Energy spent on this kind of thinking only robs us of precious life energy that we need in order to live with this disease and create any sort of "quality of life" for ourselves. Also energy spent on this kind of thinking can become a trap or prison that keeps us from growing and possibly even transcending our situation. Moving into the empowerment stage turns us into self validating, self motivating and self loving individuals who readily enjoin the work of creating new realities for ourselves; realities within which we can begin to find joy.This documentary stands at 22 minutes.

A commentator on the right-leaning World Net Daily site claims that soy milk is the cause of homosexuality in people today. I hope nobody believes this, but I find it interesting that a publication that's APPEARS to be quite widely read by folks in the religious right would publish such a thing.
