The Kinsey Scale
Jun 29th
The Heterosexual-Homosexual Rating Scale, sometimes referred to as the “Kinsey Scale,” was developed by Alfred Kinsey and his colleagues Wardell Pomeroy and Clyde Martin in 1948, in order to account for research findings that showed people did not fit into neat and exclusive heterosexual or homosexual categories.
Interviewing people about their sexual histories, the Kinsey team found that, for many people, sexual behaviour, thoughts and feelings towards the same or opposite sex was not always consistent across time. Though the majority of men and women reported being exclusively heterosexual, and a percentage reported exclusively homosexual behaviour and attractions, many individuals disclosed behaviours or thoughts somewhere in between.

As Kinsey writes in Sexual Behavior in the Human Male (1948): “Males do not represent two discrete populations, heterosexual and homosexual. The world is not to be divided into sheep and goats…The living world is a continuum in each and every one of its aspects.”
The Kinsey Scale can’t be considered the ultimate measurement of sexual identity of course since it won’t tell you that someone might be sexually attracted to girls but romantically favouring boys or the other way around. Not to mention all the shades of the rainbow in-between gender, gender-identity, sexuality, attraction and so forth.
0Mom of the Year
Jun 14th
I am selling my son’t macobok pro 15 inch. He found out that there is going to be a new macbook so I will be buying that for him. I bought it last summer so it isn’t even a year old yet. It is on pretty decent shape. I am pretty firm on the price.
Just a footnote. I don’t want to get a ton of messages from you guys saying that I am spoiling my son and turning him into an entitled monster. There is a backstory that you aren’t even aware of. My son was committing homosexual acts and got caught in the act. We made a deal that if he chose to be straight, that we would buy him more nice things. So don’t message me saying that I am a bad parent for spoiling him. It’s quite the opposite, I am a good parent adn I’m working with him to correct his problem.
Smart. If you can’t get your parents to stop being assholes, at least squeeze some money out of them before you move out 
That you could get two better laptops for the money a MacBook costs is another matter :p (via)
0Jordan Pisey Windle
Jun 2nd
Diving phenom Jordan Pisey Windle, at just 13, is the youngest ever to qualify for the U.S. Olympic diving trials, which will be held in Seattle later this month.
But Jordan’s also a young standout in the LGBT community. Adopted from Cambodia as a baby and raised by two gay dads, he recently released his own “It Gets Better” spot, and he will serve as the grand marshal for Central Indian’s upcoming Pride Parade.
Despite his increasing notoriety, Jordan isn’t too preoccupied with his upbringing: “I’ve never actually thought about it,” he says. And the youngster’s sights are set on Rio de Janeiro if he doesn’t make London. “This is a good setup for 2016,” says mentor Greg Louganis, a four-time Olympic gold medallist. “This is a time to learn. It’s a learning process and a journey.”
0Genderbread 2.0
Mar 22nd
Many people think they know what gender and sex are but still mix them up more often than not. Genderbread was made to be a helpful guide through the jungle of gender, sex, attractions and identities. You can find the new, updated version made by It’s Pronounced Metrosexual below.

It important, not only for straight folks, to understand that there are all sorts of identities & preferences. Far too often people in-between the “classical” gender roles (male + female) and sexual preferences have to fight against prejudice and sometimes even hate from both sides, straight and gay. We all heard a few of these “arguments” below thrown around in the queer scene:
It’s about time that we come together and accept that there really are people who fall in love with boys but prefer sex with girls, who were born with a penis but are female, who are men but like to wear clothes not made for them and so on. Everyone is different, that’s what unifies us.
0Scarred for Life
Mar 7th
I’ve been forced to explain homosexuality to my kids (aged 3 and 4) because their uncle is gay. This incredibly difficult and traumatic experience went as follows:
Child: Why does Uncle Bob go everywhere with Pete?
Me: Because they’re in love, just like Mummy and Daddy are.
Child: Oh. Can I have a biscuit?We’re all scarred for life. Scarred, I tell you.

0The Genderbread Person
Feb 2nd
Gender is a tough subject to tackle. There are a lot of facets to consider, a lot of pressures at play, and we have all been conditioned in such a way that our first instinct is almost unanimously wrong. But we’re going to tackle it. No, we’re going to tackle the balls out of it. Coming to our aid, I would like to present to you: The Genderbread Person! Read on…
All parts of the Genderbread Person are explained in detail here. There are some parts missing (asexuality, pansexuality etc.) so if you want to help the creator of the Genderbread Person to improve it go this way…

Happy Ending Sleepovers
Jan 20th
In the artful bad seed drama, We Need to Talk About Kevin, actor Ezra Miller terrorizes his onscreen mom and the off-screen Miller represents a potential migraine headache to conservative America.
Pot-smoking (and vocally pro-legalization), drums-playing (in the band Sons of an Illustrious Father), pro-LGBT, he happily inhabits sexually unorthodox and queer roles (e.g. an adolescent chubby chaser in 2009’s City Island and gay in 2010’s Every Day). In fact, he even one-ups Tom Hardy’s famed acknowledgement of real-life, same-sex experience when asked.
I’ve had many, you know, ‘happy ending sleepovers’ in my early youth. My period of exploration—I think that’s essential. Anyone who hasn’t had a gay moment is probably trying to avoid some confrontation with a reality in their life.
Next up, Miller appears in The Perks of Being a Wallflower as Emma Watson’s gay older brother, Patrick. “Patrick has a boyfriend that he keeps a secret,” he reveals, “because the guy’s closeted and ashamed. He’s the high school quarterback. One of those.” [via]
+1Bieber now officially an Abomination?
Jan 6th
Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD. Leviticus 19:28.
Justin Bieber, previously covered here for saying girls should keep their rape babies, getting boners while talking about his boys, making music that sounds a lot better when you slow it down by 800% and eh… getting a hair cut, apparently didn’t pay that much attention when he read the bible because he just got a tattoo. Of Jesus.
