It’s My Birthday And I Can Cry If I Want To!
Hivster’s has had some great successes; interviewing a masters of literature, a sex advice columnist, turned savior of gay youth, a gay Republican Presidential candidate, rappers and drag queens. We’ve shared stories that touched my heart deeply, I was able to share mine, we do this in hope of affecting others and letting them know they are not alone and will always have someone who has gone through their pain and will be there for...
I was starting myself before I broke my femur: Yoga.
I came across this story on Huffington Post today, pretty inspiring. Especially, the 28 as old part. Give it a read, it’s not the usual Hivster post but different is good from time to time, as well as, a story of hope. +
Portland Mayor Sam Adam’s will not seek re-election.
Editor’s note: I’m pretty upset about this one, he’s genuinely a good guy and has been a good Mayor for Portland a city I love: check out our interview with the Mayor here and then onto his decision not to seek re-election. +
Positivelite: My new favorite interview.
I recently had the chance to chat with Bob Leahy of Positivelite.com and it turned out to be one of the best I’ve had in awhile. Of the interview Bob prefaces by stating: Hivster.com is PositiveLite’s hipper twin. Certainly the two share a similar focus. Bob Leahy gets to know Hivster Editor-at-Large Brad Crelia in this fascinating exchange about how to reach both hip and not so hip readers, I certainly agree and hope you’ve had...
What do Al Franken and Chuck Norris have in common?
You don’t fuck with ‘em. Watch Al Franken get all ninja on this witness (with rhetoric and logic, naturally). +
Relax, relax. Maybe Bachmann’s husband thinks we all play rugby? Thanks #asshole.
This story’s rich. No, not as in cash money, but rather “rich” with irony and hypocrisy. Even though it’s been public knowledge for-ever, it’s just now being picked up by the “lame-stream” media (remember how liberal they are?). Thus, I doubt we’ve heard the last of it. So just how deep will the rabbit hole go? Pretty fucking deep. But here’s what we know for sure as of now: Michelle Bachmann’s...
Whore, schmore. At least I can vote. I think…?
More proof positive, Keith Olbermann’s return to television couldn’t have happened a day too soon. Enjoy this Friday frolic in hypocrisy courtesy of Olbermann’s Worst Persons segment (that is, if you can call downloading copyrighted material and slicing it up “courtesy of…”). Meet Republican Ohio State Rep. Robert Mecklenborg, the man behind the Ohio bill that requires people show their driver’s licenses...
See. Who says the GOP doesn’t pitch a big tent?
The Republicans have always claimed to be a political party with a big tent (i.e. people from all walks of life with different beliefs are welcome), and perhaps today they proved themselves right. Racists and homophobes no longer have to pine for a party they can call their own for the GOPs laid out the welcome mat. David Duke, former Grand Wizard of the KKK (that’s him beside the burning cross), who is fondly remembered for strutting around...
What gave it away, the word “faggot” or the smashed jaw?
Colorado Springs police, taking great care not to rush to judgment, have deemed the beating of two soldiers on July 1st a “possible” hate crime. Mind you, as the soldiers entered the restaurant just before the attack, one was apparently still wearing his “go-go” outfit (I’m not sure what that is, but it sure sounds gay), +
Proud Thoughts
I don’t typically care for parades. But with the fever New York is experiencing over the passing of a little bill that makes it legal for LGBT citizens of New York to get married, I braved the crowds to witness this historic Pride celebration. +
