I discovered an interesting upcoming conference for and about women.

Women & Courage:

Expressing Women’s Wisdom in the 21st Century

It happens from September 12, 2008 - September 14, 2008 at Rhinebeck Campus: Rhinebeck, NY (US). There is a cost - Tuition: $335 (does not include accommodations or commuter fee) and it is called Course: SM08-4502-308. And no tuition discounts are not available.

Part of the description reads:

In keynote talks and workshops, we awaken our bold spirits, strengthen our belief in our innate wisdom, learn new skills, and discuss how women are redefining courage all over the world.

I am not affiliate with this, just thought it was interest. Get more info at their website.

A gay Michigan man is apparently tired of the bigotry and intolerance of the Bible. So, what is he doing about it? Well, he’s actually suing two Bible publishers over the inclusion of passages that call homosexuality sinful.

Which publishers are the target? They are Tennessee-based publisher Zondervan and Michigan-based Thomas Nelson Publishing.

He is seeing punitive damages of $60 million from Zondervan and $10 million from Thomas Nelson. The basis for the lawsuit is that:

“… the Biblical references have made him an outcast from his family and have contributed to physical discomfort, “demoralization, chaos and bewilderment.”

The lawsuits also blames the publishers for causing “me or anyone who is a homosexual to endure verbal abuse, discrimination, episodes of hate, and physical violence … including murder.”

I see this being a future episode of Law & Order. And this poor guy is going to lose a lot of money. And it seems to already be hurting more than helping.

Check this out from 365Gay.com:

“As frivolous as this case may sound, it’s an indicator of where the homosexual agenda is headed,” said Bruce Hausknecht, judicial analyst for Focus on the Family Action.

“Ten years from now, this type of case won’t be humorous at all; we’ll see organizations like the ACLU dedicating resources to them because such ‘language’ will no longer be considered protected speech.”

I love when celebrities speak. Hey, maybe they shouldn’t! I mean, a lot of times a lot of really stupid stuff spews from their little mouths. The most recent evidence of this epidemic? Usher. He is a total douche. For my thoughts, have a look at the post I did on it. It is Usher, You Douche. And yes, he is indeed a douche.

I just can’t get enough of this topic. I love when smarty scientists can prove that being gay in all in the genes. It is very exciting. And I have latched onto something in particular from the article. It is a certain little part about being left-handed and being a lesbian. Oh yes, fun stuff. See my post on it. It is: Scientific Research Suggests… Yes She Is.

You hear a lot of people saying that being gay is a choice. As if! Clearly, these people are mildly retarded. Well, scientists are proving that is it all biology. You see, they have found common biological traits among gay people. How about that! What types of traits? Well, hair growth patterns, penis size, and family makeup for starters.
