Titterzz quicky 17-1-2011: The bullying of lesbians and gays (or the ones perceived to be), without a safe place for them to ask for help, can get lethal. Titterzz can’t put it any more clear than Lori Bundrock does. There are these campaigns: ‘It gets better’. And that’s good. But how to survive these bigots who get fueled by such obtuse, conservative ideas? Who do not read scientific literature to challenge their ideas? Who are the ones with all that power? How to survive that?

Titterzz vluggertje 13-1-2011: In Amerika wordt ons gezegde ‘de één zijn dood is de ander zijn brood’, behoorlijk letterlijk genomen. Begrafenissen waarbij veel publiciteit wordt verwacht, worden uitgepikt om reclame voor hun eigen zaak te maken. Wat vooral? Je raadt het al: anti-gay.

Titterzz quicky 21-12-2010: Stepping into the brain of Bill Muehlenberg, same-sex marriage is the start of hell. Arguments can be argued, true, but these are still the forces lesbians and gays have to deal with. So, we still have some steps to take… Read and shiver…

Titterzz  finds this kind of news extremely upsetting. Especially because it simply means another beautiful human being being brutely murdered, but also because these news items aren’t isolated. Remember Zoliswa Nkonyana? She lived an open lesbian life style and was also brutely murdered. B-ware to stay aware… Source: mambagirl.com, 2nd of December. The burnt remains[...]
