UK Commission Condemns Largest Irish paper for using "Tranny"

Our transgender brethren in the United Kingdom are fighting for the right to be respected and treated with dignity, as we do here in the states. Our struggles are similar in that transmisogyny's roots are the same. Many gay and heterosexual's, religious or not, abhor us and attempt to shred our dignity by hijacking our identity.

Tranny is to a transgender person like Faggot to a gay man and Nigger is to a person of color.

Good God. Or maybe god is also one of the problems.

Its not improper touching! Its fucking rape!

But maybe good god's love is not to blame. Maybe its gods word being hijacked by the Catholic Church in its attempts to divert attention from seemingly endless disclosures of child rape and cover up? Possibly the catholics pressures it's media contacts to misdirect the public outrage that rightfully should be directed at the perpetrators of these heinous criminal acts of rape committed against children.

And who would draw that ire more than Keira McCormack, a transgender woman who counsels rape victims in Belfast Ireland? Keira McCormack filed a complaint over the use of tranny in the headlines of the largest paper in the UK and has won a victory for transgender people to own our identity. The UK's Press Complaints Commission said the use of the word [tranny] was pejorative and upheld the complaint.

It's time the catholic Church allowed children to own their own identity as well.

Activists CRASH Equalty Turncoat NY. Sen. Hiram Monserrate's Christmas Party

Activists enraged with the defeat of marriage equality in the predominantly democratic NY Senate ruin Monserrate's Christmas party.

The poster to the right thanking Monserrate is from a previously unknown group "coalition for morality" has no known website and produces no google returns. It is speculated that Monserrate himself produced these posters.


In December 2008, NY State Senator Hiram Monserrate slashed his girlfriend now fiance's face with a broken glass. Hiram was convicted of the crime. This December woman abusing Hiram Monserrate voted AGAINST allowing loving committed NON-VIOLENT to marry. Sen. Monserrate believes his violent abusive relationship is superior to those of loving peaceful lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender New Yorkers. Angry LGBT activists crash Hiram's Christmas party on the anniversary of his slashing his fiance's face.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus Your Out of your Freakin Mind!


This was the reaction Julia gave when she was asked to engage in a 'Courageous Conversation' about marriage equality by Eric McCormack! Eric thinks we could do a little better! We certainly could do worse than giving a little donation to our allies in the Courage Campaign.
