My new Dress
Sep 26th
I know it doesn’t really fit in here age-wise but it was way too cute to skip it. And it has an important message about gender clichés of course. Try to ignore the horrible subtitles, rather be thankful there are some; Spanish speaking people tend to believe everyone speaks their language conspicuously often ;)

When Words can kill
Apr 16th
Another tormented grade schooler, another little kid who thinks there’s only one way out. An 11-year-old boy from Massachusetts, US, killed himself after he was repeatedly bullied by classmates who bombarded him with anti-gay taunts for “acting gay” and being feminine. "I am determined for the rest of my life to advocate on behalf of students who are voiceless and silent.” his mother said, "I have been homeless, but Carl and I made it through. I was a victim of domestic violence and we made it through. The one thing we couldn’t get through was public school." This is at least the fourth suicide of a middle-school aged child linked to bullying this year.

From "Middle Sexes": An experiment on college students shows those who are homophobic gets most aroused when showed gay porn. And they’ll still deny it even when there’s evidence. Hard evidence ;) (Narrated by the great Gore Vidal!)

Homophobes hate Pepsi since they donated half a million dollars each to the Human Rights Campaign, a group that described itself as “America’s largest civil rights organization working to achieve lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equality,” and the Straight for Equality program run by Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG). It won’t get better with this new TV ad…

Nude Art Inquiry dropped
Jun 7th
Australian police have dropped an obscenity investigation into photos of nude children at an art gallery that sparked a major debate on censorship. Investigators said no charges would be brought over Bill Henson’s portraits, which feature naked 13-year-olds. The decision appeared to clear the way for reopening his exhibit, shut on 22 May, at Sydney’s Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery.
Pornography or Art? The Controversial Photography of Bill Henson
Over the last fortnight Sydney’s Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery was scheduled to host an exhibition showcasing the work of acclaimed Australian photographer, Bill Henson. However, just hours prior to its programmed debut, the gallery was stormed by police confiscating 12 works on display and another 20 from the storeroom, while the gallery website was also forced to remove the offending imagery from its server. Such censorship was in play due to the depiction of naked adolescents within many of Henson’s prints.
