News you can't complain about, a local hero. Clerk defies law, OKs same-sex marriages despite state law barring gay marriage.

I have to complain that he doesn't look anything at all like a hero, pumfff

I must complain that Roger is telling me to ignore Oliver's beautiful covers ...

Oh wait ... I'm taking that ALL out of context aren't I? See how easy it is for bigots to misinterpret and misrepresent what someone else says.

The crazed assertions of their website alone make it clear whatever persons or persons are involved in straight pride-uk are not worth paying attention to for anything other than a laugh. Silly, silly people :)

I'm teed off that I cannot have an aquatic vacation swimming in the Oresund in Denmark now that the news has reported this:

Unusual swim warning for Danish men

I'm bellyaching because I have nothing to squawk about. Our very active member Roger wrote that he and Oliver have arrived at their holiday digs and says the weather is grand for a swim this afternoon. They've already adjusted to relaxing and have great plans to be lazy.

I'm sure you are happy to hear they have no complaints :)

Vote for your favorite sport in the Winter Olympic Games in our poll at: http://www.goodreads.com/poll/show/88...

[Boyd, Hunk of hunky burning passion]

If they didn't allow men who loved men at the first Olympics in Greece they wouldn't have had any contestants.

[Lori S.]

The Greeks were far more opened minded about such things than most countries are today.

Emphasis on were. They are no longer. Currently an uptight, patriarchal society of homophobes and misogynists.

Too true.

I'm here to voice my displeasure that we were only allowed to pick one favorite in the Olympic Games poll! Somehow I just can't get past that.

I'm complaining that it looks like the Complaint Department now needs a Complaint Department.

[Monika]

*LOL* I'm complaining because I have to agree with Boyd! Hi Boyd *waves*

[Rick]

I'm complaining that the fascists are taking over by not letting us complain! Or least telling us we're in violation of the rules by complaining that we can't complain about the fascist take over of the complaint department.

And also the blood sucking phlebotomists... but I am sorry they upped your meds and hope you get some relief very soon.

hugs!

Not to change the subject, but...oh, yeah...I guess I am.


I am pleased as punch but don’t let Judy at me profoundly dismayed, distressed and utterly discombibibbibobbidibobulated to share with you the joyful news sad truth that that Love Has No Foundries...uh...is that right? it sorta don’t look that way, but then I fergits sh...tuff easily...has yet another story. I know, I know, exactly the kind of good rotten news you didn’t want. But that’s what y’all are here for, right? To listen to me whinge about being mind-fried with the final keystroke on word number 42,777. And then all those extra keystrokes to send it off late last night.

It’s a response to Zach Sweets’ prompt, which you can find here:

http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...

Assuming, that is, that I got the link right.

[Title Withheld Under Threat of Prosecution] is a dark fantasy that took me right out of my comfort zone into new writing territory: the “dark” part, not the fantasy part. It’s going to be a difficult read for some (a lot?) because it isn’t the ultimately sweet, happily-ever-after/happily-for-now story that is customary for the project. Though there is hope...maybe. (Well, ah jes' cain't disclose all mah secrets.)

But it has a WOW! of a cover by Enny Kraft.

So here are the preliminary, as yet unapproved tags ‘n warnings:


Tags: The Kingdom and Empire, mages and magic, shifters, warriors, Stone Beasts, a mysterious Wall, a more mysterious painting, a tested love, an enduring love?

Content Warning: No HEA, no HFN, violence and blood, pain and suffering, mental/physical rape. Perhaps hope; perhaps not.

Content Warning: From forth the fatal loins of Aerisan and Gaarchan foes, two Beast-crossed lovers grow....

So when it gets posted, maybe y’all will drop on by, sit a spell, ‘n have yerselves a read.

Hmmm. I just read the above over. I am so not sorry for shameless self-promotion, on accounta becuz iffen ah don’t do it, ain’t no one will.

Eric Alan, the good ol’ boy what (hush, now) writes them kinda stories where men is gettin' it on with, well, you know....

I'm PO'd that Russian pole vaulter Yelena Isinbayeva is a two-faced hypocrite and homophobe. Speaking as one of her country's top female athletes, she defended Russia's controversial anti-gay laws saying we are "normal, standard people".

After she was condemned for her statement she withdrew it and blamed problems with speaking English for what she said.

I think her problem with English was just an excuse. If she really has that severe a problem speaking English she should speak Russian and let the world press use interpreters to translate as would be normal for a non-English speaking woman athlete in the spotlight of the Olympics.

Well, y'know that the truth is often told when people don't prep first ... Then they realize what happened and try to back track after it's too late! >Shakes head<

[Preston, Moderator]

I want to raise a stink that U.S. Olympic Committee is a bunch of cowards. The head of the U.S. Olympic Committee said this week that athletes are expected to “comply with the laws” of Russia during the Winter Olympics in Sochi.

That means American Olympians cannot protest or even speak out in support of gays who are being beaten by gangs and arrested by Russian police due to Russian anti-gay laws which call for the jailing of gays and their supporters regardless of wether they are Russians or tourists or world athletes.

Both Obama and Cameron are guilty cowardice too having said their countries will attend the Olympics and follow Putin's laws which violate human rights. Human rights? Hell, they violate the right of gay people to exist. Neither Obama nor Cameron have condemned the Putin laws or even simply pointed out the American and British commitment to free speech.

[Rick]

It pisses me off that this whole issue with the Olympics would be dealt with in a completely different matter if the issue was not sexuality but instead one of religion. Say, for example, that Russia was condemning Christians and saying that they would be arrested if they prayed or thanked god for helping them win. Heads would be rolling if it was a matter of religion.

[Monika]

I'm with you Rick! There needs to be more countries speaking out but sadly it doesn't look like that's going to happen. I did read this, which gives me a tiny glimmer of hope that there are some people that give a damn, too bad they don't have any real power.

You are right of course, if it was about Russian outlawing religious people and crosses action would be taken. Wait a minute Russia does repress religious freedom and control religious symbolism. Only in this case the Russian Orthodox church supports Putin and they agree homosexuals are criminals/sinners.

The Winter Olympics will come and go but the laws allowing Russians to jail anyone who is gay and out about it or their supporters will continue to harass and repress LGBT people who live there permanently.

See! Yet another reason to hate the things (as if me not being able to stop eating them wasn't bad enough).

[Lori S.]

Especially the mint ones.

[Rick]

I hate it when I'm over at a friend's house and they offer a plate of Oreos. At home I can just not buy them and then I never have to worry about the shameful need to eat them all. It is kind of embarassing to sit there shoveling those things into my mouth while every one else is either trying to act like they don't notice what is going on or staring with open-mouthed horror at my complete lack of self-control.

ARGH! I hate Oreos!

[Lori S.]

Uh-ha, she nodded disbelievingly ...

I regret this is in the form of a complaint, however you don't have to be embarrassed until you start stuffing them in your pocket so no one else can have any.

I am complaining that some Christian churches act like they never paid attention to one single word preached by Christ.

Mom gets kicked out of her church because she supports her LGBT daughter:

Hi Prston *waves* I'm back!

I'm complaining there is no 'like' button for comments in the Complaint Dept. Sometimes I have nothing to say but I like a comment.

Did I just say "sometimes I have nothing to say"?! Holy Hanna! O.O

I moan that most churches are about religion (another spelling of "dogma") and not much about faith, and rarely about charity. For that you have to go to Oxfam.

Ok, I've got a gripe - How did Preston know I've done that?

My father was a Methodist minister (don't worry he got better) and he always taught me that Charity was one of the tentpoles of Christianity. But if America is a "Christian Nation" why do so many "Christians" complain about social programs as being nothing but charity? Wouldn't the "Christian thing to do" be to give money and food and shelter and support to the disenfranchised?

Hypocrits.
