COFFEE HOUR 519 - OPPS OUT OF TIME!

I've run out of time to post much this morning!  However, I can't leave you hanging with NO news...


OUT TRANSGENDER BROTHERS AND SISTERS:  Often left out of the alphabet soup in discussion of issues is the 'T', our transgender siblings.  The APA is about to revamp the DSM and there is talk of taking out GID--Gender Identity Disorder.  Follow this complicated topic here.  Also, the complex role the HRC is having in the transgender community--and the distrust in this community for this organization.  

ME ON THE RADIO:  I'm going to be on the AZ-based radio show, Lundon Calling with Ace Lundon, on Wednesday, May 20 at 7:00pm Pacific.  Make sure you have either Windows Media Player, WinAmp, Quicktime or RealPlayer first.  Go to Lundon-calling.net, or click this link to take you to the show page.  From there, look on the right side menu for "**Listening Live"  If you use WinAmp, click the WinAmp stream link.  If you use WMP, click the WMP stream link.  If you use RealPlayer, click the RealPlayer stream link.  And if you use Quicktime, click the Quicktime stream link.  It might prompt you to do something like download something or open software or something like that.  I assure you that Ace is not trying to put malware on your system.  You can also listen to the show after the fact in a podcast form a few days later at this link here.  I believe they're posted on Sundays.  I'll let you know.

If you're Eastern time, tune it at 10pm.
If you're Central time, tune in at 9pm.
Mountain time, 8pm.
Pacific time, 7pm. 

If you're an International reader of Ameriqueer, thank you!  you will probably be able to figure out the time yourself!

Please listen in on Wednesday!  Have a great day!

TOAST TO ACE LUNDON!

In anti-gay attack, AIM falsely asserts "pedophile" Jennings was "teaching 14-year-old boys" about sexual practices | Media Matters for America

In anti-gay attack, AIM falsely asserts "pedophile" Jennings was "teaching 14-year-old boys" about sexual practices | Media Matters for America : "In attacking the media for allegedly insufficient coverage of Obama administration official Kevin Jennings, a blogger for Accuracy in Media, which purports to 'set the record straight on important issues that have received slanted coverage' -- and which has a record of antagonism toward gays -- smeared Jennings as a 'pedophile' and falsely claimed that '[v]ideos have surfaced of Jennings teaching 14-year-old boys the dangerous sexual practice of 'fisting,' and discussing with them the particulars of oral sex.' In fact, Jennings did not conduct that seminar and, in fact, reportedly criticized it when he became aware of its content." AIM is a crock. They're nothing more than Republican mouthpieces.

NEW BILERICO GUEST POST: What the GLAAD Network Report Means

MY NEWEST CONTRIBUTION TO BILERICO; PLEASE VISIT BILERICO.COM FOR THE ENTIRE POST! Yesterday, GLAAD released its Network Responsibility Index report for 2009, ranking the top broadcast and cable networks on their LGBT inclusivity in programming. ABC led the broadcast networks this year with depictions like Ugly Betty 's gay Ken-doll Marc, played by Michael Urie, among other depictions on other shows. HBO led the cable networks with shows like gay-created True Blood , No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency , and Big Love ; with over 42% of programming being LGBT inclusive. We're not surprised that there were so many cable networks that ranked high on the index; #2 Showtime's programming consisted of 24% LGBT-inclusive programming, #3 TNT dedicated 19% of its hours to LGBT-inclusive content, #4 MTV 17% (really, only 17?), and #5 Lifetime—the in-denial fourth gay network—had 14%.
