Nothing better than getting your ass hammered
"You want to get that one big hit where you feel like you’re part of the team … not that I don’t feel like I’m part of the team, by no means, but when you get that nice celebration coming into the dugout and you’re getting your ass hammered by guys, it’s no better feeling than to have that done." ~Matt Stairs, #12 Philladelphia Phillies, Statement made after an 8th inning two run, pinch-hit homer against the Dodgers

PLEASE VOTE FOR A FELLOW DORK FOR JAY BRANNAN!
Andy J. Pulido (MySpace) from Schaumburg, Illinois, is a 21 year old tall drink of water who is a server at national chain restaurant. He has an awesome smile and a slight Cheshire cat attitude clothed into an A&F Emo Southern boy. Andy is in the middle of a primary campaign to be selected as a member of the Real World Season 22 on MTV. You can vote for AndyJ once a day in this campaign without creating an account to get cool, real people into the Real World house next season. ANDYJ besides being a fellow Dork For Jay Brannan (Refer to videos 111-114 in the player at the top of the page), is a contributor to the You Tube collaboration channel Five Awesome Gays on Mondays and lives with Amy, another DFJB, from Five Awesome Midwesterners.
Alfonso Alexander Mercado III (MySpace) a short cute and witty college graduate from Fullerton, California also is 21 years old. He is a little low in the running and needs your votes too. He is quirky and childlike in his approach to life and would also be a wonderful addition to the Real World house. You can watch his videos on Soar of the Conchords, and on Fridays on another collaboration channel, 2Guys2Girls1Canadian!!.
I will add more to this later tomorrow but I actually have to take a nap and do some other work for the standing board meetings tomorrow. Blessings and make sure to have plenty of fun this week. What were your favorite GLBT Quotes for this year?

The question for this week is, "What are you going as for Halloween festivities this year?" and then the secon
My ideal choice (as depicted to the right) is to go as ELEMENT, the Queer Love Child of Captain Planet and Gia aka Mother Earth but I dont have enough time to put it together and sense no one wants to see me running around in a sheer thong leather loin cloth either, we will yet see.

Now it is official! You can get screwed up the ass by Obama!
I had started Wednesdays post and was called out due to a pastoral emergency in another county and never quite made it back in time to finish writing the post out sorry about that.
As the credit crunch has hit an all time climax and candidates are clinching down hard to get every last minute vote I invite you to sit and ponder for a moment how hard you would like to get screwed if Senator Obama is elected, since almost everyone in the GLBT Community has jumped on his bandwagon. Is seven and a half inches long enough? (right click on pic to visit site) (HT Nathan Exposed) I am tired of trying to illustrate how badly his policy and socialist/marxist leanings will bend this country over the table. Are Citizens ready to refuse the privilege of having a voice in the way they are governed?
Yes! or No!? It is time for We The People to stand up and assert our rights and swear once again to, "mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor"!
How about just listening to this young man Cody Weber from Illinois, who has it pretty darn close to right on both McCain and Obama. I am putting this video up here is because Cody makes several awesome pointes about himself and his generation's mindset on politics as usual. We need to pay attention.
While I disagree with Cody on Obama being the lesser of two evils and there not being an option for the average voter, I still can choose to not vote for either McCain or Obama. I am voting for Bob Barr and Wayne Allyn Root the Libertarian Party candidates for President and Vice President of the United States. I invite you to take an honest look at the Libertarian Party and all other Third Party candidates and consider making your vote count and not just follow a trend or the status quota. Cody is right about somethings the two party system is mundane, it also was never meant to exist exclusively, and it is time to bring politics as we know it to an end.
EDITOR'S STATEMENTS REGARDING POLITICAL DISCOURSE AND WOMYNS ISSUES: 
Over the last week I received some hate mail for my sarcastic commentary I had made in reference to Mrs. Barack Obama's visit to Fort Wayne this past Wednesday. Here is my official response to both the hate mail and the editorial policies of this forum as well as an explanation for the use of the quote in the title from Mondays post:
F6 is not a politically correct forum. Apparently no one that has complained watched The VIEW on ABC a week or so previous. I watch the show frequently for their Hot Topics discourse. The quote in the title of our previous post "less than one menstrual cycle away" came directly from one of the hosts of the show Elisabeth Hasselbeck as a uniquely feminine valid measurement of time.
As F6 is a social political commentary, political satire uses stereotypes in order to challenge their validity while still appreciating their humour therefore this quote being recycled is still in a valid line for usage within this forum. No offense to any particular female was intended however I will apologize for the offense being rendered but will not retract the original title nor apologize for its usage. Phrases and commentary like this (see example to the left) are as equally offensive but tolerated every day when people yell out queer or faggot and tell my community members and I to "acquire a thicker skin" and that we need to hide our basic affections not just our bodily functions.

Erase The Hate: Matthew Wayne Shepard December 1, 1976 – October 12, 1998
Ten years ago a young man was crucified in a field and left for dead. He died; however, his legacy was found in his death and his victory is found in our freedom. Matthew was savagely beaten to death because he was gay.
He was driven to a remote area, tied to a split-rail fence, tortured, beaten and pistol-whipped by his attackers, while he begged for his life; he was then left for dead in near freezing temperatures. A cyclist who found him some 18 hours after the attack at first mistook him for a scarecrow. His face was caked with blood, except where it had been partially washed clean by tears. Matthew died at 12:53 am on Monday, the 12th of October, 1998. He was 21.
After ten years how far have we come and how much is left to do?
TEN YEARS OF CHANGE - NO PROGRESS
by his mother Judy Shepard
Matthew Shepard Foundation
It’s hard to believe that it has been ten years since Matthew’s death. So much has changed yet so much remains the same.... We need to continue talking to our friends, families and co-workers. Unless we are honest about who we are and are able to share with those who love us what our lives are like, they will not know how to help us. We need those allies in this struggle to achieve equality across the board to realize all of our civil rights....
...It is ignorance that ultimately results in hate and that may escalate into physical violence. The only way to combat the ignorance is to educate and tell our stories. We are all aware of how important this election cycle is to all of us. Please take the time to know the issues and what is at stake for the LGBT community.
Share your stories with those who care about you. It is the only way they will know how to vote to support you. The privilege of having the right to vote is also a responsibility. We must remember that we are not voting only for a new President but also for representatives at the local, county, state and national level. Please vote and encourage everyone you know to vote. Apathy is unacceptable.... We are all hoping the next ten years will be our time....
