Thanks for the links! For the UK Trespassing, it doesn't have the number of songs, but is this the one with the 17 songs or is there a deluxe version? Our UK fans might know better, but I don't recall reading anything about a deluxe version from UK. But it is the one with the 17 songs. |

OT but sunbaked posted this yesterday and it kind of got lost in discussion, but I think everyone should check out this beautiful music video  Show your friends too, this deserves to be noticed! The song is beautiful. But I'm confused by how some of the visuals relate. Am I just so tired I can't figure out why the little girl keeps getting her money rejected? Or what the deal is with the made-up teen and the B-day party? So confused. Prolly need sleep. |

She is attempting to pay with a $3.00 bill alluding to the slogan "gay as a $3.00 bill" and her money is being rejected. Although the fake $3 bill used by LGBT activists has Washington on it, the one in this video looks like it has Ben Franklin on it, thus tying in the song "Ben" by Michael Jackson that is sampled. The lyrics to "Ben" are quite appropriate to the subject even though the song was written for the soundtrack to the movie "Ben" |

I wondered "how could an Adam interview be NSFW?". Then I clicked the link - ha!! Yeah, I kind of wonder if the Glamberts ordering this magazine have any idea what they are getting. LOL Haha! Definitely a different vibe than Dorian and Instinct. I won't be ordering THIS PARTICULAR magazine. "Different strokes for different folks" and all that.... edit/ I'm the proud owner of the Adam Dorian and Instinct issues...both are very classy magazines. |

I get that all stereotypes are based in part on truth but does that make them right? Do we really want to approve of labeling certain behaviors as typical for homosexuals/heterosexuals? Society deems what is "right" and what isn't and the constraints on males is severe. Just like my son, who learned in kindergarten that he should be playing with toy guns and not with dolls, and he shouldn't tell people one of his favorite colors is pink. Why do you like to garden with your mother? Boys don't cry, shake it off they told him on the ball field. Sports are assumed for him--not his sister, who is fine in drama and art. Heck, now he is going to middle school and I'm worried he'll be made fun of because he chose the flute as his band instrument. None of these things are precursors to sexual orientation but you can't tell me that the expectations we place on gender do not effect, limit and alter who you might have become without the restraints--or at the very least impress upon you the need to try to fit into the box you are told you "belong" in. And when you don't, this is when identity and self-esteem issues begin. Stereotyping is simply labeling and assigning expectations based on these labels. The term "gaydar" implies that detecting a person's orientation is relevant. Why does it matter? And the wide-spread use of this term proves that it is socially acceptable to seek out labels for people even if they don't want one. Sometimes we don't recognize that even if our intentions are good, it doesn't mean that the practice has no negative impact. Small things add up. And AleksandraKV, I never thought Adam seemed gay on AI. Why did he--because he has OTT? Didn't dress like one of the repressed boys? Seemed less closed off? He just seemed like an awesome guy to me. Sorry for the rant. I am still evolving but since Adam I have noticed that even the little things that I once didn't notice or thought were meaningless, perhaps aren't. No, but that's not the point. You are confusing descriptions with assessment or judgement. If someone describes me as tall or female or a brunette with curly hair, I totally expect that. It's how I would describe myself. We live on visual cues. If I needed to let someone know who lynne, noangel or mys*&@^#r is, I'd have to describe them. I've always been a little too PC, but I've come into a situation where I'm describing my best friend who is first-generation Mexican and it's perceived as "labeling." WTF else would you call a citizen of the country of Mexico other than Mexican? When I used to work in a hotel in the 80s, we had no PA system. If someone called for a patron, we had to ask for them to be described. People would go waaay out of their way in Hollywood to not say, "Black." And that made it very difficult. If you would say, "He's about 30, black, with two young kids." Well, of course, at that point, I would have figured out who they were talking about. We have no issue saying blonde, or red-head or fair-skinned – why is it a problem? If, during high-powered business times, you said, "He's tall with gray hair and glasses wearing a blue suit." I'd be like, "Mmmkay, thanks. That is everyone in the room..." Bottom line: descriptions are descriptions. They are not placing judgment. People relate by being able to classify. It doesn't mean they are making any negative associations. My former hairdresser was beyond flamboyant and totally straight. He would describe himself as, "The gayest straight man you ever saw." Everyone knew just how to find him at that point. ETA: And gaydar IS relevant. Single people use it constantly to know if it's worth getting intrigued by a person. Single heterosexuals might call it May-dar. When you meet someone who might be eligible, the first thing a gay person will do is try to assess if they might be gay. The first thing I might do is assess if they might be straight (I lose at this one more often that not). The next step is to assess if they might be single – you look for a wedding ring. If you don't see one, you try to clue into their verbal and visual clues. Most people in a relationship will let it be known early on in the conversation. They'll mention their BF, GF or SO if they're taken. That's fine. We all find out about people very fast and easy and non-verbal without anyone's feelings being hurt. To imply "gaydar" is a bad thing is just not accurate. |
