POPSKids "get it!" Bravo teenagers. It seems, unlike so many of your parents, YOU are beginning to understand that homophobia is ugly. You give us hope that your generation will make the big changes necessary for society's acceptance of diversity in life.

POPS'Yo' is the word when 'he' or 'she' won't do The lack of gender-neutral substitutes for "he"/"she" and "his"/"her" has bothered people for at least two centuries, and "zie" and "hir" are just two of many invented words, including "ter", "ip" and "thon". If such words are not familiar, it is because they - like all attempts to coin a gender-neutral personal pronoun - have failed miserably.

POPSgay rights activists arrested trying to go to college chapel
cont: “Our plan was to walk silently with our Bibles to the morning chapel service and attend the service quietly before leaving campus,” Genth said. The group walked down a public street that runs through the campus. When they approached the chapel, the administration greeted them with armed police officers and handcuffs, according to Genth. “Each rider was read a statement stating that we were not welcome on campus and that setting one more foot toward chapel would subject us to arrest,” he said. The first five group members who were read the statement stepped toward the chapel and were arrested. The rest of the group stayed outside the chapel, singing and reading Scripture. “Later in the day a student named Heather came to us for dialogue and brought us some sunshine of hope by telling us that the current generation of students understand more about homosexuality and that in the future, as leaders, they would not display the inhospitality that we encountered today,” G

POPSBush Joins Pope in "Hall of Shame" It has always amazed me, that some people feel a need to single out other groups of people to be "the enemy" and to blame everything on. Intolerance is to be frowned upon. As with religion, there should be room enough for everyone. Some of my best friends are gay, or from other countries, or of different religions and colours and sexes, but is one friend better than the other? It still amazes me, that some people really believe so.

POPSCanada Celebrates 40 years of Gay Rights Activism I am so proud to live in a country that has come so far in such a relatively brief period of time. Only 40 years ago consenting gay adults could be thrown in prison for engaging in sexual relations. Now we actually have same-sex marriage as the law of the land. Will our neighbours to the north ever lean the lesson that gays are people too?

POPSMaking History: Man Prepares To Give Birth This is completely fascinating to me. Of course, it reminds me of the old Billy Crystal movie, "The Rabbit Test", where Crystal plays a man who becomes pregnant. I haven't seen that movie in years. But, ever since I saw it, I have watched to see if science would ever advance the real idea of men giving birth. Technically, the man in this clip is transgendered, meaning he was born with female reproductive organs, but looks like a man and lives as a male. The discrimination and the bigotry that he has faced through the healthcare system and from his own family is sad and despicable. I will continue to follow this story with some fascination. Mostly because it smacks in the face of everything we have come to know and expect when it comes to the idea of creating a family.

POPSStop Real ID The Real ID Act of 2005 turns our state driver’s licenses into a national ID card, costs over $20 billion dollars, infringes privacy, and imposes major burdens on taxpayers, anybody renewing a driver's license, seniors, immigrants, transgender people, and state governments – while doing nothing to protect against terrorism. A huge coalition is fighting Real ID at the state and national level -- and we need your help.

POPSSelf-diagnosed Transexual Prisoner Granted Estrogen Therapy Another indication that the world is beginning to understand the existence of sexual diversity. There are many people in the world who fall in between the traditional male/female designations. I'm sorry this particular individual had to take such self-destructive actions to get the treatment she so apparently needed.

POPSGay 14-year-old shot to death by classmate Interesting that this happens while there's also a debate going on over whether it should be OK to include positive portrayals of same-sex couples in educational materials aimed at this age group. I suppose there are those who'd say that a 14-year-old boy who wears mascara to school deserves whatever he gets, but personally I have some trouble with that position. I suppose there are also those who'd say that there's nothing wrong with allowing 14-year-olds access to firearms, either.

POPSTransgendered Oregon man is pregnant (he says) Thomas Beatie, who has undergone sex-change surgery and is legally male and legally married, has conceived a child via a home insemination from a sperm donor. He plans to carry the child to term. Others, however, are skeptical of his claims.

POPSGay Kids in the Bronx Need Lots of Help Although this report describes the problems gay kids have in the Bronx, as well as elsewhere, I still see this as hopeful. Let's face it, just a few years ago, a story like this would never have made the news. Just as seeing presidential candidates having a forum-style debate on a gay cable TV channel would have been laughed at. Progress is happening right before our eyes. As a gay man, I am very proud of the advancements we have made in so few years over all.

POPSGays Yeah, God Nea, These two stands as beacons to the trend in our society to normalize that which is abnormal and demonize that which is holy. Or in other words, blaspheme that which is good and right and uphold as honorable that which is unholy and perverse. Obviously there is an "AGENDA" to promote homosexual causes across our land via the US congress while at the same time there is another "AGENDA" to oppose any movement of God across this nation. If your Gay we say YEAH if your Christian we say Nea. And then we wonder why our country is in a mess?
