A Black Lois Lane?

I bet you all didn't know at one point Lois Lane turned black for a hot second.  Well, Yes ma'am she did.  She went from Audrey Hepburn to Foxy Brown by way of Superman's transformation machine. This was a 70's comic from the Superman's Girlfriend Lois Lane series (issue 106).  This particular issued tackled race relations in the late 60's and early 70's.  And Lois transforms into a black woman to see how it feels t be a black person. (I Am Curious..Black).  I went on a search for this comic today and came up empty handed.  The reason I wanted this book was because It's very unique and it was on Comic Book Men recently.  I will find it!

I also recap this week's Walking Dead, Ellen Page (see previous post) coming out and share my comic book Fanboy Weekend!! Thanks for tuning in!!

Evander Holyshhhh Shut Your Mouth

Well I doubt if anyone goes to Evander Holyfield for words of wisdom.  But, one person did on Big Brother Celebrity UK.  Speaking of a gay cast mate, Evander went on an almost intelligible rant on how being homosexual is a choice.  And that's fine.  He can say what he wants.  But, is that what is wrong with society now?  We persecute people who have opinion? NOT AT ALL! Just like I said previously about the Duck Dynasty Phil Robertson-gate.  No one is taking away Evander's freedom of speech.  Because, in fact, they already used it. Albeit, the producers of the show scolded him on hate speech.  My only problem is people seem to be invested and follow the words of celebrities. And for me that is the bigger problem . How do we combat it? We can't!  We can take away their platform. We can lecture them how to speak more thoughtfully.  But, then the world turns on it's head and accuses the accusers of being too sensitive.  All we can hope is that people who genuinely think for themselves, do just that THINK FOR THEMSELVES!   And doesn't Holyfield have about 1000 children (one of which came to his defense today) all living on the same property in Fayettville, GA somewhere?  I would be more concerned  about those needs than trying to throw your wisdom into the gay choice debate.

Gay Speech, A Not To Do List?

I ran across an article on The Huffington Post by Mark Brennan Rosenberg.  The article was about the 8 Things Gay Men Need To Stop saying. (read article here)

I found the article kind of funny, a bit interesting and sort of redundant at times.  So, I took to the air waves to share my thoughts on what Mr. Rosenberg wrote. And here is what I came up with:

National Coming Out Day!!

October 11, 2013 is National Coming Out Day.  

NCOD was founded in 1988 by Robert Eichberg, a psychologist from New Mexico and founder of the personal growth workshop, The Experience, and Jean O'Leary, an openly gay political leader from Los Angeles and then head of the National Gay Rights Advocates.^[2][3] The date of October 11 was chosen because it was the anniversary of the 1987 National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights.^{[1] (wikipedia)}

^{My story was a difficult one.  I was dating a married man until his wife found out.  Some what ostracised by the gay community for being involved with a married man.  But, no one understood my personal struggle. But when my family embraced me for who I was not who I chose to sleep with. I forgot about society and concentrated on growing into the man (gay) that I am today.  Take a listen to my full story below.}
