Re: [Peckers_Pics] Male/Gay Health-Discussion-PICS Hair Wars-Oct 15, 2011-Boycott Georgia-Trump-TARGET-FOX NEWS-Salvation Army



While there's a lot of progress, there remains more to be made. I'm glad that openly gay athletes and staff are able to do what they love regardless of their sexuality. That's what life is really about, living it well and doing what you love

How High Blood Pressure Affects Your Feet

It may seem that high blood pressure (hypertension) and your feet would not be remotely connected - but they are.

High blood pressure damages the blood vessels all over your body and is associated with developing poor circulation, or peripheral vascular disease (PVD). PVD contributes to the blockage in the blood supply to the feet. A buildup of plaque inside the arteries that carry blood to the feet causes them to thicken and harden. PVD is 20 times more common in people with diabetes than in the general population.

To avoid PVD, it's important to try to control your blood pressure as best you can. You can do this by changing your meal plan and engaging in more physical activity.
Take Action:
  • 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! Further, Boycott Fox's Owner "Rupert Murcoch" and get him thrown in jail for illegal - political donations, corruption, greed, bribery, hacking!
  • 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 its 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 customer base. 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?
  • 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 a LGBT friendly 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 money to anti-gay 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 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.
  • "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 re-new the clown's show after he pulled such hateful shenanigans?
  • Boycott Georgia for Execution of Troy Davis @ 11:08 EST, Sep 21, 2011:
    Former US President and Former GA Gov. Jimmy Carter felt that TROY DAVIS should not be executed and deserved a re-trial. The Former Director of the FBI felt that TROY DAVIS Was Not Guilty! Do not drive through Goergia as it is dangerous. Do not fly via Atlanta. For your safety -Do not travel to GA. TELL YOUR COMPANY NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CONVENTION IN GA! "Georgia Executes Innocent People!"
And Now, Our War of the Fittest!
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, you should select the "Guy" that may inspire you to exercise and "get fit!" Warning: This may stoke you!

Rick Welts' Hiring May Be the Biggest Gay Sports Story of the Year
Cyd Zeigler - Huffington Post - Oct 14, 2011

There have been a lot of amazing gay sports news this year. Johnny Weir, Will Sheridan, Jared Max, Steve Buckley and others came out. Sean Avery, Steve Tisch, Michael Strahan and others openly supported same-sex marriage. Kobe Bryant and Joakim Noah got fined a lot of money (for me anyway) for uttering a gay slur.

But what happened in San Francisco recently may have been the most important of all.

Rick Welts, the openly gay former president of the Phoenix Suns, was hired by the Golden State Warriors as team president and COO. While it won't get New York Times front-page treatment, it deserves it: this is bigger than Welts' coming out back in May.

For decades Welts feared what coming out might do to his career. Like so many closeted gay people in sports, he kept his private and public lives separate for fear that he wouldn't be able to get another job in sports if people knew he was gay. Welts' coming out at his current team was one thing. They couldn't fire, demote or shun him -- that would have been a public relations disaster. But when he left, no team was obligated to hire him.

Now an NBA team has handed this openly gay man the keys to their kingdom.

We have seen something like this before at a player level. In 2005, Dartmouth lacrosse goalie Andrew Goldstein became the first openly gay man drafted by an American pro-sports league when the Boston Cannons selected him. A year later, the Long Island Lizards picked him up in the Major League Lacrosse supplemental draft.

After rugger Gareth Thomas came out, he wasn't only picked up by a different team but he was picked up by a complete different league, going from Rugby union's Cardiff Blues to Rugby league's Crusaders.
Now this.

While people focus on the travails of athletes, the real power brokers in sports are the guys Welts works with every day. And they've decided to welcome a gay man into their fold. While we don't know the whole backstory, you've got to believe this was something that happened over weeks or months. It involved recruiting. The Warriors didn't just sit quietly by their phones waiting for Welts to leave the Suns; they must have gone after him. They wanted him. That speaks volumes.

Some people will dismiss this as something that could only happen in San Francisco. Others are already rolling their eyes because there may be no NBA season.

I say it's big. Real big. A gay player, coach or executive now knows that they have a welcoming home with the Golden State Warriors. And all those people who, like Welts years ago, live in a fearful professional closet have a very bright, shining example of what can happen when you're simply good at your job.
Every gay and lesbian person who has been lucky enough to survive the turmoil of growing up is a survivor. Survivors always have an obligation to those who will face the same challenges."
