A very big phone

Being silly is a part of me. I’m sure most of you can identify my silliness from my podcast.

This is a picture of me in my pretend office at IKEA last year.

“Hello! I can’t hear you even with my BIG phone!”

You all know Chai. He’s our boy.

A couple of months ago, while I was editing a show on the computer while chatting with my mom on the computer, he sneaked up. As usual, he likes to snuggle up close to me.

As he’s falling asleep, he slowly and sneakily pushed my hand off the mouse, and took over.

I guess being a cat, he really knows which part of the computer is his favorite.

Mark from Remarkably Mark and Remarkable Palate stepped out of the chicken, I mean kitchen, and entered the Ong-dome. I really enjoy his new podcast. He’s a hottie too, for all the girls and boys out there.

We continue the talk with some people at the Kansas City Gay Pride 2006.
As promised, I chatted with a representative of the gay gene in brothers studies, very interesting. I think my brother and will do it. I’m sure you’ll hear all about it when we do do it.

Bigots here, Bigots there, Bigots everywhere

Yesterday on Ongline #157, I voiced my frustration of the religious right’s discriminatory act. They want to amend the Constitution to re-define marriage as ONLY between a man and a woman.

Today, the Vatican chimed in with their two cents. Hate some more!

The Vatican, the supposedly “Mother Church”, and I use quotation because my heart and mind know it is wrong. I just can’t even begin to imagine God being this hateful. Hateful enough to write a 60-page document on how to hate. Quote from Reuters about the article:

“It listed these threats as homosexual marriages, giving gay couples equal legal recognition as married heterosexuals, lesbians demanding the right to bear children through artificial insemination and gays who want to adopt children.”

How do gay marriages threaten marriages? I may be a “log cabin Catholic”. I am a Christian. I am also gay. The day I felt the most Christian is the day I accepted my sexuality. That was the day I stopped hating myself. Ironically, that was also the day the religion who taught me truth and love started to hate me. Hate frosted with love is still hate in the core.

You! Pope, some Bishops, some Priests, some religious leaders, some “Christians”, can you please keep your hatred within your own bubbles. I don’t even expect the “church” to bless the love between Bruce and I. That has already been taken care of when we fell in love. I don’t need that. But I do want to demand for equal rights in the society I live in, and hopefully for everyone around the world. Unlike the “church” who teaches discrimination. Apparently, “giving gay couples equal legal recognition as married heterosexuals” is a threat! In plain language, “don’t give gay couples equal legal recognition.” Oh, it doesn’t sound too far from their public intention either!

“Church”, it’s time to pull your head out of your behind. And start to see love. Perhaps it requires homosexuals to pull your head out of your ass so that you can see love. Talking about irony.
