I woke up today with the news of a gay sex raid in Penang.
I am saddened by that. Not for gay sex. They were using condoms for goodness sakes.
Don’t even judge these 37 men. I am so disgusted by how the society treat us. I don’t care if you’re having sex in a monogamous relationship or a group sex. The issue is larger than that. We are being attacked as a group of people. Gay people are being attacked.

What the FUCK!

I thought that’s going to be a horrible news I’ll get today. Was I wrong.

The Democrats are apparently going to let Mukasey become our new Attorney General. How hard is it to recognize that water boarding is torture? He refused to say so. I wonder why? Bush nominated him. I wonder why he’s not taking a stand?

Why are the Democrats letting this happen? I am so hurt and frustrated. How are we suppose to choose now? The horrible or the slightly less horrible? If the Democrats lose in the general election next year, it is their own fault.

FUCK! We are fucked.

I haven’t been paying too closely an attention to the first Malaysian angkasawan (astronaut) news much.

Yesterday was the first time that I get to look closely at this first Malaysian astronaut.

His name is Sheikh (prounounced like “Shake”) Muszaphar Shukor.

Come on people. Whether you’re gay or straight, you have to admit that he’s HOT!

So handsome!

Inevitably, I started looking for more than just pictures. Found some videos in YouTube.

I’m not judging or anything, but my gaydar went blip-blip-blip.

Perhaps it’s just wishful thinking. I’m attached and all. But what do you think?

Here’s a thought.

What if you’re that goodlooking, that well-known for being the first Malaysian astronaut (I can think of other spelling), and gay?

There is a quote from and article saying:

Sheikh Muszaphar, whose good looks have also landed him modelling jobs, said he had a sweetheart but she understood the demands of the mission.

Now, would the “sweetheart” necessarily be a woman? Or is the press just assumed? And in the article, it was “had” not “has”.

We are talking about a Malaysian in Malaysia. Representing Malaysia throughout the world. A muslim Malaysian. Being gay must not be as easy.

What did I just ramble on?

Did I mention he’s HOT?

Would you rather be gay and happy or famous and successful and being closeted?

Don’t shame me. Don’t shame my being. Don’t shame my being gay.

I am proud of it. And I live my life with dignity.

It is your self-righteousness that is shameful.

It is your hypocrisy that is disgusting.

None to do with my being gay. None to do with gay sex. I’m proud of everything about my being gay.

Hypocrites, suck it! (not the good way)

Thank you please.

Read the disgrace yourself.

Amnesty International Applauds Stay of Execution for Troy Davis

(Atlanta) — Amnesty International USA (AIUSA) applauded today’s decision by the Georgia State Board of Pardons and Paroles to grant a 90-day stay of execution to Troy Anthony Davis, who has spent 15 years on death row for a murder that he denies committing. Davis, 38, was convicted despite the lack of a murder weapon or physical evidence linking him to the crime.

“Let today begin a new day for truth and justice in Georgia,” said Larry Cox, executive director of AIUSA. “We call upon the Georgia Parole Board to recognize that in the United States, one is innocent until proven guilty — and in the absence of such proof, there is no acceptable choice but to grant clemency. The Board must recognize the flawed logic of executing a man who may be innocent.”

Troy Anthony Davis, who is African American, was convicted in 1991 of murdering Mark MacPhail, a white police officer. The prosecution based its case on the testimony of purported “witnesses,” many of whom allege police coercion. Seven of the nine non-police witnesses for the prosecution have recanted or contradicted their testimony in sworn affidavits, and nine people assert that one of the two who hasn’t recanted is actually responsible for the murder.

Despite this, Davis’ habeas corpus petition was denied by the state court on a technicality — evidence of police coercion was “procedurally defaulted,” that is, not raised earlier, so the court did not take it. The Georgia Supreme Court and 11th Circuit Federal Court of Appeals deferred to the state court and rejected Davis’ claims, and earlier this month the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear his case.

“We are deeply saddened that the MacPhail family has suffered such pain and hope that today’s decision will lead to a fair and earnest search for justice,” said Sue Gunawardena-Vaughn, director of AIUSA’s Program to Abolish the Death Penalty. “Now that the Board has issued a stay of execution, it is time for authorities to reopen their investigation and seek the truth. Only in that way can society honor the memory of Mark MacPhail.”

Amnesty International has long-standing concerns about Troy Davis’s case. In February of this year, the organization released a 35-page report, “Where is the Justice for Me? The case of Troy Davis, facing execution in Georgia.” In recent weeks the organization has mobilized its worldwide membership and collected thousands of letters calling for clemency for Mr. Davis.
