OK, I'll start. How many prog artists are openly gay? The only one that came to my mind was Sara Lee, the lesbian bassist with Robert Fripp's "League of Gentlemen" project. I saw them in concert, and they were truly an interesting fusion of punk energy and King Crimson guitar pyrotechnics! Sara is also one hell of a good bassist! |

well, now that we have an official LGBTA thread perhaps we should open an official BDSM thread as well, so that any practitioners might not feel rejected. that would of course mean including the reassurance that there already are practitioners of BDSM on the forum and that they are welcome here, as long as all participants take part of their own free will. any outings? -------------  A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival.

I was only 13 most of 1982 and did not take part in it then except for that time we played "Cowboys and Indians" and I was tied to a tree for that. unfortunately a thunderstorm broke loose then and everyone took cover, quite forgetting about me. I remained tied to that tree for several hours until my parents inquired about my whereabouts.

Italy was always a tough opponent for Germany. One of my very earliest memories (a very vague one though) goes back to the legendary 1970 football match between Germany and Italy that Germany lost by 4-3 after extra time. All I remember is the excitement and finally the disappointment after the match though. I saw the match again as a rerun when I already was an adult, and I can understand the excitement. What a match! ------------- BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

More by luck than planning we were eating in an Italian restaurant while the match was on.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Segregation_1938b.jpg" rel="nofollow"> Was this "LGBTA Discussion forum"
placed here as a act of compassion or as an act of expediency? Take a good look at the photo above. The
segregated "colored only" water drinking fountain was placed
there by an act of expediency in order to comply with old state
segregation laws that existed in the USA back in nineteen fifties. There was no
change in the culture or thinking of the people who installed the "colored
only" drinking fountain. It was not done as an act of compassion or a
sincere show of support. Is that what happened with the inclusion of
this LGBTA Thread? From the bizarre tone of the discussions that has
overtaken the other "thread" posted by me, and a mocking "thread" about halitosis, I feel that it's quite
reasonable of me to inquire of this. I will say this in a nicest way possible. If
you are acting under malevolence, it will be quite easy for me to pin that
out and take you to task. It is, after all, what I do for a living. |

Also in regards to the TX thing, in my 11 years of living there I found that the people there are some of the most friendly, hospitable people I've ever met (in general). I strongly believe that if the majority of people who voted against the recent bill sat down with some transgendered people and were properly educated on what it means to be one, they would be sympathetic to their cause. I think it's a matter of ignorance, not of genuine hate (most of the time). |
