Re: [Peckers_Pics] Male/Gay Health-Discussion-PICS Re: [Peckers_Pics] Male/Gay Health-Discussion: Peaceful Gay rights Russian demonstration



Glad you commented the way you did.
 
In Russia and The Ukraine extreme nationalist neo-Nazis have been raising their ugly heads for years now.
Recently the Russian Minister of Immigration said in an interview with BBC News that the reason they had put Somali men in a work camp type detention centre, that was too cold in winter even with proper windows etc,., and that no one  could live in,was that he wanted to
avoid the mixing of races which (his words not mine) has caised so many problems in other countries!!
 
These neo-Nazi russians and Ukrainians are also re-kindling anti-Semitism as well as, as we all see in the clamp downs, prejudice against Gays.
About a year ago in the Ukraine a pol was taken which asked whether Ukrainians would strip ukrainian Jews of their citizenship: about 72% of those that participated in the poll said "Yes

I wanted to make a comment regarding the "intended" peaceful demonstration that quickly went awry in Russia's capital city, Moscow, outside in front of the Kremlin. In the article in the latest email message, detailing an overview of the events, poorly chose wording was used to describe the attackers of the gay activist's who were peacefully holding a demonstration for gay rights. These attackers were not just "run of the mill", common, everyday citizens, observing from the sidelines! In various news reports along with a few western European Television news stations and the Russian state-controlled television news station, it was very apparent that the attackers who incited violent attacks against the gay activist's as they peacefully demonstrated in front of the Kremlin, were actually younger "thugs" who visually demonstrate their Neo-Nazi, skinhead alliance, to a huge population of skinheads training and operating throughout Russia!

These Neo-Nazi skinheads have become Very feared groups of radical individuals, willing to maim and even kill minorities of all kinds throughout Russia. Muslum minorities living in some of the largest cities, such as Kiev, Moscow and many others, are attacked in public areas and on public transportation everyday! Muslum murders and other racial minority murders, whether it be different ethnic groups or gay citizens of all ethnic groups throughout Russia, are being beaten and killed on a daily basis throughout the country by these radical, Neo-Nazi, skinhead groups! It has become a noticeably large problem throughout the country, making many minority individuals (including gay men and women), afraid to go to work on public transportation and constantly fearing for their lives!

Since anti-gay bias runs deep within Russians still to this day, most bystanders during the demonstration that could easily see who was attacking the gay activist's, never stepped in to assist or help the gay activist's as the Neo-Nazi skinheads bluntly beat each and every gay demonstrator in their site! Of course with a fear stricken Russia of these radical groups known throughout the country, as well as their own individual bias and deep seeded dislike of gay people in general, it's not surprising that no one came to their rescue!

These skinhead groups throughout the country, definitely have a tight reign of fear among almost all Russians! The local police anticipated the "go ahead" of the demonstration, while having 10 vans parked nearby to transport any demonstrators that showed up! On some of the western European television news stations, you could see the local Russian police breaking up the fighting. However, inappropriate beatings and rough arrests, were only directed towards the peaceful, gay demonstrators! The known skinhead attackers were handled very differently than the demonstrators, as far as Brutal force is concerned! Russian state television did not show the difference in handeling of the Skinhead attackers Vs. the peaceful demonstrators!

Personally, I am all for peaceful demonstrations for gay rights and feel that the Russian government should have granted their long sought after permit, to hold a peaceful demonstration of a minority group in Moscow! I'm just not sure that the demonstrators should have carried on with their demonstration without a permit, fully knowing the anti sentiment that exists and probable beatings and arrests that would take place? I can see their views and decision to "carry on" with their demonstration for equal rights for LGBT Individuals! These demonstrators definitely have more courage than I do! I have to say that at least, especially knowing the dangers to continue as planned! Marki

Death by Haystack!

May 29th, 2011 - Men's Health - Leigh Remizowski

A Colorado high school was shut down for the better part of a week recently after students spread bails of hay across the building in an apparent ill-fated practical joke that made the air too toxic breathe.
 
This prank-gone-wrong got us thinking: What other ways have people been hurt from totally innocuous-seeming everyday stuff? After a bit of digging, here's our list of harmless things that can kill you . . . if you're really, really unlucky.
 
Hay: First, let's break down why this alleged caper went awry.  (Which, by the way, is costing about $100,000 to clean up.) Apparently, hay presents very little danger on a farm, but when it's in a place like a school that lacks the ventilation of the great outdoors, that's when it becomes toxic, according to reports by the Durango Herald in Cortez, Colorado. Why? Hay is chock-full of mold that can cause respiratory problems for anyone who is exposed, especially anyone with asthma.
 
Microwave popcorn: Inhaling the additive used to create the buttery taste in microwave popcorn, diacetyl, can lead to irreversible lung damage, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Fittingly, this condition is often called "popcorn lung." But not to worry--contracting the condition only happens in extreme cases, like one woman reported on by the New York Daily News who ate two to three bags of microwave popcorn daily for 16 years.
 
Fluorescent light bulbs: OK, this one's kind of serious. Ironically, same energy-saving bulbs beloved by eco-minded people hold a spot on the Federal Emergency Management Agency's "Hazardous Household Items" list, alongside things like pesticides and lighter fluid. This is because compact fluorescent light bulbs--or CFLs--contain a small amount of mercury in their glass tubing. All though it's just a tiny amount (about 4 milligrams, according to the federal Environmental Protection Agency), a broken bulb could lead to mercury poisoning. The EPA suggests waiting until the bulb has cooled before trying to change it to minimize the chance of a break.
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'Reilly expressed 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.

US 'concern' over violent end to Russian gay rally
(AFP) - May 29, 2011

WASHINGTON --- The United States voiced "concern" Sunday over the violent end to a gay rights rally in Moscow, and called on Russian authorities to better safeguard "fundamental freedoms" of assembly.

"We note with concern... that a peaceable demonstration of Russians advocating for the rights of gays and lesbians, joined by international supporters, was forcefully disrupted by counter-protesters, and that Russian security forces then detained people from both groups," US State Department spokesman Mark Toner said in a statement.

Russian security forces had also detained American citizens at the march, Toner noted.

"We call on Russian authorities to work with municipal officials to find better ways to safeguard these fundamental freedoms" that members of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) are committed to, Toner said.

Moscow police on Saturday detained three global gay rights leaders, including renowned US gay rights activists Dan Choi and Andy Thayer, and dozens of Russians in a violent end to a rally that activists tried to stage near the Kremlin wall.

The small crowd of young marchers was attacked by members of an ultra-Orthodox group who successfully lobbied Moscow to ban the event. An AFP correspondent saw security forces move in and wrestle activists and religious group members to the ground before detaining them.

"Freedom of assembly is a fundamental right all members of the OSCE committed to, including in the Moscow declaration and as recently as the Astana summit," said Toner.

"As nationwide legislative elections approach, constraints on the ability of Russian citizens peacefully to gather and express their views will be closely watched in evaluating the integrity of the electoral process," he added.

Organizers said three Westerners -- Choi, Thayer and French activist Louis-George Tin -- and most of 30 Russians were released after a few hours of detention.

Human Rights groups have repeatedly condemned Russian police for being more lenient with nationalist forces than with demonstrators supporting minority rights and freedoms.
