Easter, God and the significance

Easter, what does that mean to us as gay latino men? Any connections between the first we learned about God and the first time we felt rejection and/or the needing to be loved/accepted?

Maybe we should take a look to see the significance of those two times in our lives...How does it all tie in.

HEALTH REFORM: This Is What Change Looks Like

We made it. Late last night, the House passed the Senate’s health care reform bill (by a vote of 219-212) and a package of fixes to the bill (220-211). Afterwards, President Obama spoke about the historic nature of the health reform vote and all the good it will do for the American people.

“This isn’t radical reform,” said the president, “But it is major reform.” Health reform will transform the health care system into something more sustainable and affordable for everyone, not by tearing it down and starting over, but by strengthening the system that already exists, realigning incentives, and asking everyone do their fair share to make our health system work. Obama thanked everyone who refused to give up the fight for reform. “As momentous as this day is, it's not the end of this journey,” said Obama, but it does represent “another stone firmly laid in the foundation of the American Dream.”

“This is what change looks like,” he said. See the whole speech at the White House Blog:

Paquita hatin' on the Gays? Thoughts.....

We're used to Paquita la del Barrio hating on men but now the singer is also expressing her homophobia.

'I rather see a kid die,' said Paquita to Escandalo TV when asked if she wouldn't like a gay couple adopting a poor kid off the streets. The singer, who's made her fame by singing about heartbreak and comparing men to rats, didn't stop there.

Her homophobic comments continue with the nonsensical 'my respects to them, I love them very much but'..wait..she loves gays or should we say 'them'?

If this is her idea of love no wonder Paquita has lots of songs about being dumped.
