Very Graphic!
Senseless violence in the Chicago community.
UPDATE: Three teenagers have been charged with first-degree murder in Derrion Albert's beating death.
Silvanus Shannon, 19, Eugene Riley, 18, and Eric Carson, 16, all of Chicago, were charged as adults ordered held without bond, the Tribune reports.
Prosecutors declared Albert an "innocent bystander" in the fight that led to his death.

Chicago police are still investigating the gang fight that erupted Thursday in Roseland that resulted in the death of 16-year-old Fenger High School student Derrion Albert.
Albert was killed in a melee near the school that police believe is a continuation of ongoing tensions between Fenger students that are members of rival gangs.
An amateur video of the brawl shows dozens of people punching, kicking and swinging wooden boards in the street. Albert was struck by blows from one of those boards, Fox Chicago reports, and the video obtained by Fox shows a person getting hit with a board and then stomped on after falling to the ground.
As people rush to help the injured person, a voice can be heard on the video yelling, "Derrion, get up!"
Albert's mom said witnesses told her that her son "trying to help another student and kind of got mixed in with the crowd of the fight and he was hit."
A memorial and march planned for Sunday was rescheduled for Monday at 1 p.m., the Tribune reports.
UPDATE: Police are questioning four people in connection with Albert's death, Fox Chicago reported late Sunday night.
The student who hit Albert with a board is in custody, Fox reports, as police try to figure out why Albert, an honor student whom family and friends said was not involved with a gang, was killed.
Meanwhile, police beefed up security around Fenger Monday as students returned to school the week after the melee that led to Albert's death.
"We want to provide reassurance to the public that there's a police presence and they can feel safe in the neighborhood and kids can feel safe at school," the Tribune quoted Morgan Park District Commander Michael Kuemmeth as saying.
R.I.P. Derrion Albert

The Gay Gene : ]
Does a gene exist to determine whether or not someone is homosexual? Could it be a genetic mutation? Or some biological disposition because something did not completely form at birth? Did you not get enough oxygen to the left hemisphere of your already dysfunctional brain?
I wonder what internalised homophobe has/will donate their body to science to figure out the cure. What if a gay gene does exist and it could be determined by a simple test? What if you could determine your child's sexuality like you can determine if your child has Down Syndrome? Law and Order: SVU has an episode about this very scenario and I find it to be very interesting. Just like the Punnit Square and weigh out your odds strategically to get rid of this recessive gene that is poisoining the family tree that is built on respect and integrity.
They have tools and resources to genetically code the "perfect baby", blonde hair blue eyed boy. What is seriously stopping someone to include sexual orientation into the mix? Is it plausible? Can it really happen? If it could happen what is stopping homophobes to tell their political advisors to uplift their stance on abortions? Will Liberals come to the defense of innocent people and stop this or will this open the flood gates of a bigger war?
My personal point view is this, the gay gene either does not exists or someone discovered it already. You know we don't know half the shit going on in this world until decades later and everyone hops on the bandwagon like it is seriously something new. I feel as if some doctor a long time ago has already discovered the "gay gene" and used ethical common sense and asked theirself how will this affect my society in the future. Or it just does not exist and people have this desire to validate who they are as people with science and that is not the purpose of science. It is all absurd and stupid as fuck at the end of the day and nothing good can come from it. Just like the Catholic church favoring the death penalty for homosexuals it is all morally corrupt and absurd.

The Gay Agenda : )
Again you all know me by now and if this offends you, go write a counter blog, I seriously do not give a damn : )
The Gay Agenda is when the "Western Europeans" corrupts the innocent minds of minorities as in a game of Pool. One group of people at a time subjected to "Homosexual Demons" to eliminate them as a whole. What is there to do to over come and regain strength to fight the oppressors who rob us of our innocent womyn and children?
This debate as the entire world knows was on Tyra this week, concerning the exorcism of a 16 year old boy who was told that he had "Homosexual demons" and was subject to the "Gay Agenda".
Let's use common sense for a second. The only reason why people give a damn about homosexuality is the fact about what they do in their bedrooms? So when heterosexuals are basically doing the same things it is not up for debate? I could have sworn that fornication was for the purpose of having children? That is what my Bible says. I could have sworn that in the Sodom and Gomorrah story that they were rapists and molestors, what part of that says homosexual demons? So rapists and molestors are allowed to roam free but homosexuals are beneath them? A lot of contradictory bullshit that are used to oppress millions of people for centuries. I find it amusing as well that the same book that was once used to oppress our people we turn around and use it against ourselves. Black people don't like homosexuals so they say they are wrong and whip out the Bible on them. Homosexuals who don't like trans people say they are wrong and use the Bible against them. It is an ongoing cycle that annoys the hell out of me.
In Dangerous Living: Coming out story, an Asian womyn qouted that "homophobia is a western civilization concept". I am going to say this is true because if it was not for Western Civilization none of this would have existed. None of this would have been up for debate. I am not saying everything would be Jolly Ranchers and Rainbows but a lot of things would not be up for debate right now. Now let's bring it to the 21st Century, what does The Gay Agenda means?
The exact same thing! Same Sex Marriage, Adoption by Same Sex Couples, Federal Protection for hate crimes, teaching of Homosexuality in Schools, etc. If any of you watched the Yes on 8, the "perverts" are teaching our children that this unnatural behavior is okay. But hatred towards millions of people is normal and widely accepted.
Blaming Western Civilization tactics as the break down of the family in People of color. My foremother Audre Lorde wrote a beautiful prose about how Black men and Black womyn feel as if we are betraying our people. Betraying our people for who I love, when I try to strive for equality I am no more than a nigger to some white homosexuals because people of color happen to be religious, all is bullshit at the end of the day. I am a cunt and a pervert and the African American LGBT community has no platform, we are led by fools who could care less about you or I. At the next GSA meeting I am told that I am glad that you are not like those niggers who supress to internalised homophobia for cisgender priviledges. Well if they knew how to act, maybe we would treat them as an equal.
Well when all of you are done wasting your breath feeding into self deprication, I will be building my new home and if you can look past who someone is and see them for their heart, you can join me anytime : )
Before you talk crap about what I have written, I recommend you reading Sister Outsider by Audre Lorde : )

10 Lesbian Commandments : )
If this offends you, I honestly don't care! Pray for me do what you do, leave my quaters...Please and Thank You!
This has been passed down from dyke to dyke for generations and generations throughout the centuries. PLEASE DO NOT follow my interpretation because this is the not the unified book of the Isle of Lesbos. Half of this has been destroyed by men in a raid of the quarters of Princess Lesbiana III.
10 Lesbian Commandments!
Thou shall not say Lesbo Goddess in vain. Never put another Lesbo before thy queerness no matter how much control she has over thy soul through her manipulative ways.
Thou shall only date the opposite gender expression.
Thou shall not go against heteronormatives or thy shall be shunned for conforming to atrocious behaviour. Heteronormatives will always be the manner in which we shall conduct thyselves.
Thou shall spread the word of the Lesbo Goddess to none believers. Tis confirming thy ticket into everlasting lesbianhood.
Thou shall not steal ones concubine or wife. Since we are not allowed to theorectically marry, we have many wives and concubines. If thy fellow sister has a lonely concubine withering in the dust, thy shall not revive her. Thy uterus shall be removed unethically and placed in the middle of the town.
Thou shall not lie in bed with thy man. It is blasphemy and thy shall be buried underground with the heterosexuals for 100years.
Thou shall hate the opposite gender because man does not produce life without the product of womanhood.
Thou shall not have common sense. Ignorance and superficiality tis the demeanour in which thy shall carry thyself because the Lesbo Goddess tis the only one who knows best.
Thou shall only fornicate with thy wife or thy concubine. Thy concubine must be branded in order to be proven that she is thy property. Fornicating outside of ones property is blasphemy.
Thou shall not speak up against misogny tis the community. Tis the out spoken behaviour is from a confused questioning mind that shall be shown thy correct way.
I seriously do not comprehend why these outdated laws still stand as a guideline to how a person lives their lives. Were you not paying attention to your foremothers, Audre Lorde and Pat Parker? I do not comprehend and will never comprehend such things that tend to make me laugh. Lo siento Lesbo Goddess, Please forgive me but my queer soul is lost by my over analytical thought process. I do not mean to question your queerness, but why can't I follow your philosophies and those of my foremothers?

Asexual, Really?
I am tired of the fact that a lot of people now and days do not hold any substance. It is so annoying and answer me this simple question, where in the hell are your morals? I especially love the reform Black Panthers who go around preaching about how the white man has done them wrong but can't get off their ass and do a damn thing for themselves yet along someone else. I have a preference and I have standards they are not that complex as so many others. But now and days why do people think I am asking for too much? With any relationship I ask for the same things so how are you any different? I am not about to lower my standards for some fool. So many people now and days lower their standards in order to get something. If I have to lower my standards to get you, obviously there is something better out there for me that I have not discovered.
Well that is just a brief vent into the background of this other discussion that this ties into. So with having my standards and preferences I was thinking about celibacy. Then I get all these comments saying are you asexual because you want a relationship without sex. I am thinking since when do people base their relationship around sex? This reminds me of the episode of Tyra with the damn Vampires and how she said sex is for monkeys lol. I don't thihk sex is for monekys I just want actual substance and it damn sure does not make me asexual if I choose to not have sex with you. I also have been hearing no sex in a relationship is just a cool way to say friendship. Okay eww I think of my friends as family I am not about to kiss up on family lol.
If all you want from someone is sex in a relationship why be with them? I thought you were supposed to want someone for their heart and not for what is in between their pants. I want someone to equally stimulate my mind because what happens when your sex drive dies out? You are two people just sitting there looking at each other like what the hell do we do now! Sex is not the only form of intimacy! You have kissing,hugging, your words just saying I love you is a form of intimacy, and so much more. If I can stay in bed for a month with the person I truely loved without even having sex that means more to me than one night of sex.
What if you could never had sex with someone would you leave them? Is sex seriously that important?

Lifestyle vs Culture : )
Someone had an issue with my last blog when I originally posted it so I thought I would clarify myself!
Lifestyle -
In sociology, a lifestyle is the way a person (or a group) lives. This includes patterns of social relations, consumption, entertainment, and dress. A lifestyle typically also reflects an individual's attitudes, values or worldview.
Culture-
In general, it refers to human activity; different definitions of culture reflect different theories for understanding, or criteria for valuing, human activity.
I believe homosexuality and bisexuality has a culture not a lifestyle. Lifestyle to me comes along with negative stereotypes.
Gay man's "lifestyle" many partners no committment, either in the entertainment industry, or middle class with upper class taste, HIV positive.
Bisexual woman's "lifestyle" multiple partners, untruthful, usually the unhappy housewife who ends up telling her sob story on Oprah.
Bisexual man's "lifestyle" closeted especially when it comes to minorities, secretly gay who wish to have Cisgender heteronormatives so they will be the targets for correcting their sexuality.
Lesbian "lifestyle" 20rescue cats, aggressive, dominant, bold, "manly" no matter how effiminate, hates men, feminist.
But when you have a Culture, you embrace the beauty and struggles that your foremothers and forefathers went through in order for you to walk down the street openly and with your head held up with Pride! It is not about partying all the fucking time that is a negative stereotype. Heterosexuals party equally but they are not "known" or associated with this party behavior. Why are homosexuals deemed to this box and seen as care-free individuals who care about meaningless bullshit?
Audre Lorde's Sister Outsider was not about her lesbian "lifestyle" it was talking about who she was as a womyn, mother, her marriage and just happens to be a lesbian. What part of that is a specific "lifestyle"?
No one wants to seriously tell me what a heterosexual lifestyle consists of outside of stereotypes. A heterosexual is not the only one who can have these cisgender priviledges. I can have a wife and 2.5 kids and a dog and a white picket fence. That would be considered a heterosexual lifestyle, why? It makes no sense to me to validate ignorance.
