It's curious that Evangelical preachers like Camping blame the end of the world on gays; others like Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson blamed 9/11 on gays; still others blamed Hurricane Katrina on New Orleans hosting the gay-friendly Southern Decadence Sunday. And on and on.
But I don't hear any preachers pointing out that maybe the seemingly endless natural catastrophes lately afflicting the south and mid-west -- snowstorms, fires, droughts, windstorms, tornadoes, flooding, etc., seem to hit mainly those states which have gone out of their way to oppress gays and pass anti-gay legislation and constitutional amendments banning same-sex marriage, but not those that have same-sex marriage or strong civil rights legislation protecting LGBT folks. Maybe God is trying to tell them something and they just ain't listening.
After all, Jesus never said anything about being gay, much less condemning it. And, in a society that took so seriously the first commandment of the Torah, "Increase and multiply and fill the earth," that men were expected to marry and impregnate their dead brother's wives to keep the family going and the people growing, Jesus never married or had kids. And he spent most of his time paling around with a bunch of guys, including a young John who describes himself as "the disciple whom Jesus loved" (John 13:23, 19:26, 21:7, 21:20 -- what, Jesus didn't love the other disciples?) and who lay against Jesus while reclining at the Last Supper. And Jesus remained something of a Momma's boy until the end, staying pretty close to his mother. Now, I'm not saying Jesus was gay, but it all begins to look as suspicious as Rep. Aaron Schock. And if so, perhaps He's getting pissed off at folks who don't love Him and others like Him. Maybe God the Father was the first member of PFLAG. Just sayin' ....... If gays get blamed for stuff, how come the Bible Belt folks get a pass? <G>

Safe PICS For All Ages/Boycott Trump-NBC-TARGET
Support Keith Olbermann's show "Countdown" - coming to "CURRENT TV" June 20.
Alert: Target + Minnesota Forward + Tom Emmer = Support for a rather dangerous and radical political philosophy that diminishes LGBT people to pests that should be murdered. And "Target" is cool with this? ...Now Target is suing the LGBT community for their peaceful demonstrations in front of their stores. ....Our answer: BOYCOTT "TARGET"
Consider joining:
- Members should join our President Barack Obama group . (Health Care & Gay Rights, Gay Marriage, Repeal DOMA, Don't Ask & Don't Tell)... Osama Bin Laden is killed (May 1, 2011)! President Obama was totally involved and viewed the entire operation in real time. President Obama made a very serious decision that worked! Bravo!!!

Diet & Fitness:
Reminder: Did you complete your Diet Journal today? Did you do any physical activity? If not, make a point of it by tomorrow! Perhaps our male fitness photos shall inspire you to get Fit!Health - Wellness - Exercise - Reflections:Breeze Through Workouts with Better Breathing
Breathe. Your body breathes automatically, so when you have to think about how to breathe during exercise, it's not uncommon for people to make mistakes.
Yoga requires breathing in and out of the nose, while Pilates recommends breathing in either the nose or mouth and then breathing out of the mouth. In weight lifting, however, there is no gray area on how to breathe. Never hold your breath. If you're in the habit of holding your breath as you try to get that one last repetition, it's time to stop.
Holding your breath increases your blood pressure, which can make you dizzy and lightheaded. Not only does this increase your chances of injuring yourself, it's also a big no-no for adults with high blood pressure or heart problems. Instead of risking your health, focus on breathing out with the concentric (exertion) phase of your lift and back in with the relaxation (or eccentric) phase. Also be sure to focus on steady, controlled breathing and avoid taking quick, shallow breaths.
Once you've got the breathing part down, the rest is, well, a breeze.Take Action:
- Update: DADT has been repealed. President Obama has kept his promise!
- Boycott Bill O'Reilly and FOX News and their advertisers. Bill discussed a French commercial by McDonalds that was meant to show that McDonalds is Gay Friendly. Bill said what is next? Is McDonalds going to be Al-Qaida friendly as well? Imagine - Bill O'Reilly compares Gays to Al-Qaida! In conclusion, O'Reillyexpressed out-right Hatrad of the LGBT Community.
- Boycott Arizona the home of "hater" - U.S. Senator John McCain. Arizona's Hateful anti-Immigration Law - encourages racial profiling and increases hatred towards minorities. A remedy: Demand Republicans to support Immigration Reform (The Dream Act). Further, Senator McCain voted against ending DADT and Blocked Immigration reform!
- Boycott Target, Best Buy, Gold's Gym - for donating money towards anti-gay political candidates/organizations. Update: (12/26/2010): Target is continuing to donate to anti-gay groups/causes/politicians. Update 03/08/11 - Lady Gaga Ends Target Partnership, Reportedly Over Target's Poor LGBT Stance. Update 3/25/2010 - Target displays their hypocrisy and Sues California Gay Rights Group for Lobbying Outside Stores. Target is attempting to block the LGBT right of free speech! STOP SHOPPING AT TARGET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Update 4/8/2011: Target lost it's case to stop the LGBT from canvassing in front of their stores. A huge PR Disaster for TARGET! Perhaps Target should go out of business as they betrayed their investers and customers. Target contributed massive funds to a politician who would like to exterminate gays. Now, Target can not stop us from Boycotting them, nor picketing, nor talking to customers near their stores; although, Target allows a anti-gay company such as the Salvation Army to stand outside their door and speak with customers and raise money. Isn't this a double standard? Perhaps TARGET would better understand the issue if they cared about David Kato - Uganda, who was slain because he is gay! That is because Uganda wants to kill gay people. Again, TARGET invested in a political candidate that would Kill the Gays!
- End DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act). Prevents Federal employees and Gays in the Military from gaining equal benefits. Prevents Gay Partners from gaining equal benefits.
- Pass ENDA (Employee Non-Discrimination Act). ENDA would prevent employment discrimination of LGBT workforce.
- Boycott Salvation Army as they will not hire Gays! "DO NOT DONATE TO THEM."
- BOYCOTT "Chick-fil-a" for donating to anti-gay marriage groups.
- BOYCOTT KOCH INDUSTRIES PRODUCTS- to include their products: Angel Soft toilet paper / Brawny paper towels / Dixie plates, bowls, napkins & cups / Mardi Gras napkins and towels / Quilted Northern toilet paper / Soft 'n Gentle toilet paper / Sparkle napkins / Vanity fair napkins / Zee napkins / Georgia-Pacific paper products & envelopes / All Georgia-Pacific lumber & building products (INVISTA Products) / Lycra /Stainmaster Carpet. The billionaire - Koch brothers are ultra republican - tea bag founders/supporters that do not support causes of the LGBT community.
- Boycott WALMART - The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, force criticized Wal-Mart for denying employee benefits to same-s-x partners and for failing to prohibit discrimination based on gender identity. By comparison, the group said two other chain stores with a strong presence in New York, Costco and Walgreens, did much better.
- NEW: "Tune Out Trump", Boycott all Trump Hotel, casinos, holdings, The Apprentice and NBC Network! At CPAC, Trump said he is considering a run for president as a Republican. In a interview with the Des Moines Register, Trump added that he opposes all forms of legal recognition for gay couples, not just marriage. "They should not be able to marry," he said. So why does NBC keep the Apprentice when Donald Trump has stated he may run for president? After making racist remarks about Obama and recv'g public backlash, Trump decided not to run for president after NBC renewed his awful TV Show. How can NBC renew the clown's show after he pulled all such low-class shenanigans? Boycott NBC! Boycott advertisers of The Apprentice and Trump's other business's. Don't shop at any bullding with Donald Trump's name to include Trump Hotels, Casinos, Condo's, Offices, Shops! The Donald has expressed extreme Hatred towards gays and blacks with his birther remarks and anti-gay rhetoric. Remember how poorly Trump treated Rosie O'Donnel? Now we know why he did that! It was hate against a lesbian as we now know he is biget. Unforgiveable! Dump NBC because they re-newed Donald Trump's "The Apprentice"! Start Watching CBS Evening News and not NBC.
And Now, Model Wars!
This group is called "Peckers Pics." The English - slang definition of "pecker" is to pluck at the truth. Therefore, we peck at items such as Gay Men's Health, Male Fitness, Gay (LGBT) Politics & Issues. In this section you may peck at each photo in order to decide the winner of the "war of the fittest!" Whereas, who is the model that may inspire you to exercise and "get fit?" Warning: This may stoke you!Your participation in discussion of health / news articles - appearing in this message is greatly appreciated.Important Notice: Our ObamaBiden2008 Group works hand - in - hand with Peckers PICS (Both groups were co-created to work with each-other). To prevent duplication of articles and questions, all members of this group are expected to join ObamaBiden2008.

Therefore, members need to join ObamaBiden2008 immediately. This shall clear up communications and confusion. The LGBT cause is too important and beyond 1 person's need to just look at pictures. Therefore, please join ObamaBiden2008 now. No you don't have to read every article! But, it covers the LGBT community and includes updates on Health insurance; LGBT boycott list; Westboro Church; and the end of DADT, etc...Also, updates with the multi - state gov't's war against unions and people with disabilities. The group is created for you! There are gay teen suicides going on. There are Hate crimes against gay people. There are gays who are fired over their sexual identity. There are gay people who died for our cause! You always reserve the right to remove yourself from all my groups if you do not appreciate this request. I have done everything I can and now it is time for you to step up! My Groups are for Yahoo members who sincerely care about LGBT rights and Gay Mens Health! Please Join Now!
