Aku dan Sahabatku (International Day Against Homophobia)

Latar Belakang

Tanggal 17 Mei merupakan Hari internasional Menentang Homophobia. Tanggal ini disesuaikan dengan tanggal dimana WHO secara sah menyatakan homoseksual bukanlah suatu penyakit kejiwaan pada tahun 1990 silam.

Homoseksual tidak dapat dikatakan sebagai pilihan. karena jikalau memang sebuah opsi, tentunya orang tidak akan memilih hidup sebagai homoseksual dan menjalani kehidupan yang sedemikian sulit untuk mencari cinta.

Informasi lebih lanjut mengenai International Day Against Homophobia dapat dilihat di www.homophobiaday.org

Misi

Kali ini, saya bukannya ingin membentuk aksi melawan para homophobia, baik yang menjadi homophobia karena ketakutannya sendiri, atas dasar pendidikan formal, atas dasar pendidikan tradisional, ataupun pendidikan agama.

Tujuan

Saya hanya ingin mencari dukungan dari teman-teman untuk memberikan gambaran lebih baik tentang homoseksual di lingkungan masyarakat sehari-hari. Dengan harapan semoga, dapat menjadi pengertian bagi masyarakat yang selama ini mengalami homophobia. Bahwa sebenarnya homoseksual hanyalah masalah orientasi seksual, bukan sebuah kepercayaan, bukan sebuah prinsip atau bahkan pandangan hidup yang penting untuk dibantahkan. 

Seseorang menjadi baik dan jahat, melulu karena pribadi orang tersebut. dan bukan karena orientasi seksualnya. Kalaupun ada kasus atau hal negatif yang muncul dari kalangan homoseksual di lingkungan sekitarnya, lebih sering itu terjadi karena reaksi pribadi homoseksual yang mengalami tekanan luar biasa dari lingkungannya. dan saya percaya, bahkan heteropun bisa melakukan kesalahan yang sama.

Bentuk Kegiatan

Bagi teman-teman yang ingin berpartisipasi dalam kegiatan ini, dapat menceritakan pengalamannya yang menggambarkan bahwa seorang homoseksual dapat diterima dengan baik di lingkungannya. Saya akan bagi dalam dua kategori:

1. bagi kelompok homoseksual (gay / lesbi) - menceritakan pengalaman sehari-hari mengenai kehidupan pribadi sebagai gay di lingkungannya (keluarga / sekolah / kerja / masyarakat)
2. bagi kelompok heteroseksual - menceritakan pengalamannya berteman / bersahabat / memiliki anggota keluarga sebagai homoseksual.

ketentuan penulisan:

1. Nama / tempat kejadian dapat disamarkan (kalau bisa, lebih asik kalo tidak disamarkan). 
2. Panjang tulisan bebas. Satu tema / pokok masalah untuk satu judul.
3. Boleh mengirimkan sebanyak-banyaknya.
4. Boleh dilampirkan foto / ilustrasi yang tidak eksplisit.

Kirimkan ke queercurious@gmail.com paling lambat 16 Mei 2009. Hasilnya akan dipublikasikan di blog ini.

Dukung kegiatan ini dengan menyertakan trackback ke halaman ini di blog kamu

Teirmakasih

gwen stefani no doubt on American Idol

It’s good to see Gwen Stefani and her wife-beater with the bra straps showing back with the fellas.

No Doubt next to perform on American Idol, doing "Just a Girl." Gwen Stefani's not lip-synching, it's a raw, real performance even after all these years. Crowd's reallly into it; I'd say it's one of the better Wednesday performances we've had.

They perform “I’m Just a Girl,” and Gwen’s voice seems to have matured from the early years. Not sure why she felt compelled to do some push-ups, but I get that her body is still sick after two babies.

I think her vocals might have sounded better if she didn’t feel the need to run all over the place. Still, it was fun in a comic-book kind of way.

Ryan is so cheeky with his “Hi babe” to Gwen. I’m excited that No Doubt is going on tour. I’m just a fan!

carrie prejean lingerie

Miss California Carrie Prejean could be stripped of her title after organisers say she breached her contract by keeping topless photos secret.

In April Ms Prejean made headlines at the Miss USA beauty pageant with her outspoken opposition to gay marriage, which she says cost her that title.

Miss California USA Carrie Prejean has assured pageant officials that a lingerie modeling photo published online this week is the only one she posed for, the state pageant director said.

But the Web site that published the first picture said it has several more that it will “slowly roll out” starting Wednesday afternoon.

The possibility that racier images could emerge prompted “closed-door meetings” Tuesday to consider stripping Prejean of her beauty queen title, pageant spokesman Ron Neal said.

Apart from not being up front over the semi-nude pictures which appeared on an internet site, organisers of the Miss California USA pageant say Carrie Prejean also breached her contract by appearing unauthorised in commercials.

Although Neal said Prejean “breached her contract” by keeping the semi-nude photo or photos a secret, the only picture published so far appears about as revealing as the bikini Prejean wore in the pageant’s swimsuit competition.
She described the publication of the pictures as an attempt to "openly mock me for my Christian faith".

"I am a Christian, and I am a model. Models pose for pictures, including lingerie and swimwear photos," she said.

Last week Ms Prejean announced that she would star in new $1.5m ad campaign funded by the National Organization for Marriage, a group that is opposed to same-sex marriage.

danny gokey dream on

‘American Idol’ contestant Danny Gokey picked the Aerosmith classic Dream On to sing on tonight’s rock show

Even some of his family and friends seemed to be trying to figure it out when the camera went to them. That final “note” (making the quote fingers here) he sang/screamed was beyond horrendous.

It's a bit boring at the start, like he's looking so earnest and almost little-boyish. Come on Danny, unleash the inner rock star! Launches into the chorus, it's still not dangerous and almost out-of-control like the best rock stars -- it all seems practiced and controlled. Vocally even, in addition to the usual robotic Danny performance.

Randy says it was all right, but an A+ for a valiant effort. Kara says a bit too far with the swagger and edge, but likes to see risk and growth. Paula just says she's a big fan of his, not my favorite choice of song, gives him an A++ for going with it.

Simon says the last note was like "watching a horror movie," over-the-top. But Simon still thinks he's going to be safe.

Brody Jenner and Jayde Nicole: Zoo Pals

Changing things up a bit from their normal high-profile events, Brody Jenner and Jayde Nicole were spotted out at the San Diego Zoo pn April 29.

The “Hills” stud and his Playboy Playmate looked to be enjoying their leisurely day together, walking arm-in-arm and smiling at each other.

Mr. Jenner looked cool and casual in a baseball cap with sunglasses, a blue hoodie and long khaki shorts while Jayde sported a slim-fit tee with a scarf, jeans, and sandals.

Who's Hotter: Audrina or Jayde?

No, that's not Audrina kissing Brody.

Left, Brody Jenner is spotted kissing girlfriend and Playboy playmate Jayde Nicole, who looks a lot like "Hills" starlet Audrina Patridge.

Last night on "The Hills," the newly committed Brody brings girlfriend Jayde out with Lauren Conrad and crew.

Across the table, Jayde grows increasingly angry - and intoxicated - while glaring at Audrina and her beau. And next week, it looks like Audrina and Brody hook-up in Hawaii, leading Lo and LC to warn Audrina that she may get jumped by Jayde.

Playboy Playmate of the Year 2009 Celebration

Las Vegas has always been known for its lavish celebrations, and over the weekend the Playboy Playmate of the Year 2009 party hit town.

Hugh Hefner and a bevy of beautiful Playboy Playmates invaded the Palms Hotel and Casino for the annual gala, and there was no shortage of eye candy.

Of course, Hef’s current girlfriends Karissa and Kristina Shannon and Crystal Harris all turned out to ham it up for the camera, along with mainstays Brande Roderick, Holly Madison, and Jayde Nicole.

And at the end of the evening, Ida Ljungqvist was named the 2009 Playboy Playmate of the Year and was congratulated by everyone in the house.

janet jackson wardrobe malfunction

More than five years after Janet Jackson’s infamous “wardrobe malfunction” shocked millions of Americans watching Super Bowl XXXVIII with a flash of nudity, Nipplegate continues to live on, in the courts. After an appeals court last year threw out the $550,000 fine CBS owed the FCC, the Supreme Court announced today that the case will be reviewed again to see if CBS is indeed responsible for the incident. The Supreme Court’s ruling comes just one week after they upheld FCC policy that levies fines for any and all curses on live television, even if it’s just a one-time outburst, the AP reports.

The lower court had ruled in CBS' favor, saying the Federal Communications Commission had strayed from its long-held approach of applying identical standards to words and images when reviewing complaints of indecency. The FCC had fined the network over Jacksons' breast-baring performance at the 2004 Super Bowl.

The order to revisit the case follows the Supreme Court's ruling last week that narrowly upheld FCC's policy of threatening fines against even one-time uses of curse words on live television, the AP writes.

Since 2004’s famous “wardrobe malfunction,” the Super Bowl has stuck to classic rockers unlikely to spontaneously disrobe for its half-time shows, inviting Paul McCartney, the Rolling Stones, Prince, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, and most recently Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band onto its stage.
