POPSPregnant "Man" This is not news until someone born without a uterus, and preferably with testicles, gets pregnant...and I'm guessing at that point, they'd better pray for a C-section.

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.

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.

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.

POPSDesign Is All That Separates Us Chris is one crazy dude, but I love him to bits, because he's proud of who he is. I like that. If this video offends anyone, then they NEED to be offended. We are all children of God. Don't ever forget that or lose that thought, while you're busy squabbling over chapters and verses. Deal? ;) You go girl!! (or boy!) Rock on!!

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.

POPScare of detainees with AIDS How about just deporting them faster, closing the border to keep them from coming back quicker than border patrol can get back to their stations.

POPSHIV Risk and the Transgender Population What Can Be Done? Like all problems, much can be accomplished through education. Examples of what is needed include: * Providers must be educated as to the needs of the transgender community. * Insurance companies need to be educated regarding the importance of hormonal therapy, the ramifications if hormones are not a covered drug, and the need to include coverage for hormones in their drug programs. * Prevention messages and education needs to be targeted to the transgender community in a manner that is sensitive to their needs, concerns and fears. * Providers must provide a safe place for those identifying as transgender to disclose their gender identity.

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?

POPSThe New York Post Ain't Got No Klass! One again the Rupert Murdoch's New York Post finds a way to demonstrate its total lack of sensitivity to the gay community. Why anyone reads that trash sheet I do not understand, and yet it is very popular among New Yorker's, at least those living within the 5 boroughs of the city.

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.
