Lady Gaga's new song Born This Way is said to be the new "gay anthem." I think what Lady Gaga is doing is great! Everyone loves her and if this is the way to get this message across then so be it! Read the lyrics and see for yourself. It's not just the "gay anthem" either, i think that these are lyrics that everyone can relate to. It's wonderful to know that soon everyone will be singing the lyrics to this song and spreading a message that so desperately needs to be heard.
Born This Way
It doesn't matter if you love him, or capital H-I-M
Just put your paws up
'Cause you were born this way, baby
My mama told me when I was young
We are all born superstars
She rolled my hair and put my lipstick on
In the glass of her boudoir
"There's nothin' wrong with lovin' who you are"
She said, "'Cause He made you perfect, babe"
"So hold your head up, girl and you you'll go far,
Listen to me when I say"
I'm beautiful in my way,
'Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way
Don't hide yourself in regret,
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way
Ooo, there ain't no other way
Baby, I was born this way
Baby, I was born this way
Ooo, there ain't other way
Baby, I was born-
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way
Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Don't be!
Give yourself prudence and love your friends
Subway kid, rejoice your truth
In the religion of the insecure
I must be myself, respect my youth
A different lover is not a sin
Believe capital H-I-M (hey, hey, hey)
I love my life, I love this record and
Mi amore vole fe yah (Love needs faith)
I'm beautiful in my way,
'Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way
Don't hide yourself in regret,
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way
Ooo, there ain't no other way
Baby, I was born this way

David Bahati loves gays, but would rather see them dead
Interview done by Rachel Maddow. How people like David Bahati not only exist, but still have power in the world is astonishing to me. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/12/09/rachel-maddow-bahati-uganda-gays_n_794271.html

Matthew Shepard
Even though it was such a long time ago, this story is still just so very sad. It was the first hate crime that I had ever heard of and is the reason I am so passionate about stopping gay bullying.

Clint McCance apologizes and says he will resign from school board.
Clint McCance apology
What an absolutely pathetic apology! He isn’t sorry, he is just sorry he got caught! If he really didn’t believe in what he said then he wouldn’t have said it. I have no respect for his apology and I’m extremely grateful that he is resigning from the school board. In this video he states that he is not the monster he’s been made out to be, wrong! I’d say anyone who makes such ignorant comments and says such awful heartrending things is a monster.
Though I’m truly upset he has made these comments I DO NOT commend the death threats he and his family have been getting. We are upset that he said he wanted people to take their lives and that he wanted people to die, so let’s not mock the fact that we don’t believe in such statements by sending him death threats and making basically that same mistake that he did. In my last post I stated that I wanted all people named Clint McCance to commit suicide and I didn’t mean that at all. As I’m sure most of you know I simply was trying to make a point by asking him how he would feel if it was said about him. None of us want anyone to commit suicide or feel bad because someone said something like that, and that is exactly the point I was trying to make. But looking back on the statement I wanted to clarify that up for everyone so that there was no chance of it being taken the wrong way.
Also the parents of Asher Brown one of the victims of suicide due to gay bullying were in these videos. I think that they dealt with McCance’s statements with grace and showed him much compassion. I feel just absolutely terrible for them. I can’t imagine having to go through something so traumatic and I wish the best for them!

Board member of the Arkansas Department of Education makes anti-gay comments on facebook
Some of you may have heard about the Vice President of the Arkansas Department of Education (Clint McCance) writing anti-gay things on his facebook page. It is reported that he used the terms “queer” and “fag” throughout his post. He also said he wanted gay people to commit suicide and said he would disown his children if they were gay. He stated that he enjoys “the fact that gay people often give each other AIDS and die”
On “sprit day” a day were people wore purple in remembrance of the 5 who had committed suicide he reportedly wrote "Seriously they want me to wear purple because five queers committed suicide. The only way im wearin it for them is if they all commit suicide. I cant believe the people of this world have gotten this stupid. We are honoring the fact that they sinned and killed therselves because of their sin.” We’re trying to stop gay bullying yet we have a bully working in our own schools. How could the school board have over looked something like this when they were in the hiring process? His actions were just hateful and disgusting, and personally I hope he is fired from the board of education. He doesn’t deserve to have a job working with children when he could possibly be endangering them. Who knows how many of the gay students that he has harassed and bullied?
How could anyone even say that they would disown their children if they were gay. If he found out his children were gay would he tell them to go kill themselves? This man isn’t even fit to be a parent! He is teaching his children hate and anger towards gays and we have already seen how much trouble and hurt anti-gay bullying can cause. What if the roles were reversed and someone who was gay posted on their facebook that they wanted straight people to commit suicide? I’m sure that McCance would be furious and say that their actions were hurtful and childish.
It absolutely pains me to see gay bullying and it’s even worse when it comes from someone who is supposed to make teens feel safe. When he posted this was he hoping gay people would read it and go commit suicide? He thinks that being gay is a sin but isn’t saying hurtful things to try and make someone want to kill themselves a sin to? Hey McCance you’re not so peachy perfect yourself! If you can say these kinds of things and think you’re the one doing the right thing then you’re obviously mixed up and need a serious wakeup call!
As I said before I hope he is shunned from the school board and can never work in a school or anywhere that people might have feelings. He obviously has way to much fun trying to hurt them. And I’ll end this post flipping the roles just for you McCance, I want all guys named Clint McCance to commit suicide. How does it feel to hear that about you?
