Rumor mill
Hello all! I hope everyone is gathering around a TV to watch the Super Bowl! Even if you don’t like football, the commercials are always way cool and worth a couple of hours of fun all by themselves. I just wanted to take the time to let everyone know that despite what you might be hearing…INTEGRATION at Starline on Wednesday nights is NOT, I repeat NOT, going anywhere. It has been brought to my attention that there are some bitter, lying queens out there trying to spread the rumor that INTEGRATION has been cancelled. This is not true. We are making some changes, and we’ll be trying out some different DJ’s for the night for the next week or two, but INTEGRATION is going no where. Starline is going no where. You’re $3 vodka/crans are going NO WHERE! Lol. So if you hear from any that INTEGRATION has been cancelled, they’re wrong, and you can tell them you heard it from the Chief Queer. 
Now go drink and watch the Super Bowl! Go Colts. Lol.
Right Wing Attack Dogs Silent, Only Occasional Whimpers Heard

Smoke the Bigots Out of the Closet
A funny thing happened after Adm. Mike Mullen called for gay men and lesbians to serve openly in the military: A curious silence befell much of the right. If this were a Sherlock Holmes story, it would be the case of the attack dogs that did not bark.
John McCain, commandeering the spotlight as usual, did fulminate against the repeal of “don’t ask, don’t tell.” But the press focus on McCain, the crazy man in Washington’s attic, was misleading. His yapping was an exception, not the rule.

Get a little culture this Weekend
From the Empty Space Theater in Bakersfield comes a weekend chock-full of performances. First up is Super Villian!
The world mourns the death of Earth’s greatest super hero, Excelsior… but no one is more upset than The Remote, the super villain that spent his life fighting Excelsior, but was not the one to kill him. Without a super hero to fight, The Remote is no longer seen as a super villain, just a fool in a silly costume. With help from his friends, The Remote must pull himself up from rock bottom if he is ever to be known as a super villain again.
Winner of 8 awards and rave reviews, James Kopp’s comic book comedy, Super Villain, swings back to The Empty Space with new scenes for one encore weekend, running for two nights only, Feb. 5th & 6th at 8 PM. For reservations call 661-327-PLAYAdmission is free, with a suggested donation of $15 for adults, $10 for students/seniors.

PFLAG February Meeting
Statewide Event to Repeal Prop 8
Are you one of 1,000?
On Saturday, February 6th, 2010 people from across the state will come together in unison to take action in repealing Proposition 8 and restoring marriage equality in California. This will be the biggest statewide event planned to gather 100,000+ signatures to repeal Proposition 8 in a single day! It’s a hefty challenge, but it’s one that we are ready to take on. If we have 1,000 volunteers and they each collect 100 signatures, we’ve met our goal. This is your chance to prove that you’re serious about equality. Every day that goes by is another day that we allow discrimination to be written into the constitution. It doesn’t matter what your sexual orientation is. It doesn’t matter what your political party affiliation is. Race doesn’t matter, and neither does gender, religion, age, etc. This is a human issue. It’s an equality issue, and equality knows no bounds.

Virus Alert – “AntiVirus Soft” Fake Security Program
This pain-in-the-backside program popped up on the computer of a QueerNetworks officer recently, after a MySpace visit. Others have told of experiencing the same thing on FaceBook. An innocent looking link will land you on a website that will infect your computer with little or no action on your part. Don’t pay for their “solution”, as it’s nothing more than stealing from you. Cleaning the infected computer is relatively easy, you don’t need to wipe the hard drive and reload Windows and your programs. Check out “Malware Removal Tips” for easy-to-follow instructions on how to rid your computer of this malicious invasion.
Martini Mondays!

Gay Pride Parades “an attempt to overcome the shame”?
“That is exactly why they have to have gay “pride” marches to attempt to overcome the shame. Does anyone here think that married heterosexual couples have ever considered a “Heterosexual Holy Matrimony Pride” parade? No! Why? There is no shame in what they do! And they don’t have to try and convince anyone… the American people… that heterosexual Holy Matrimony is normal, natural and in fact God’s design.”
I just about fell out of my chair laughing, and couldn’t type my response fast enough! I’ll bet you’ve already jumped ahead, and know what my reply was, haven’t you?
Well, of course there’s a “Heterosexual Holy Matrimony Pride” parade! They take place across this country every day, weather permitting! They usually take place right after a wedding, where the bride and groom climb into a car, often a limo, and drive off, leading a procession of friends and family in a rambunctious, loud, fun example of a “Heterosexual Holy Matrimony Pride” parade! There’s usually someone standing up through the sun roof of the limo, holding a champagne bottle, screaming at passerby’s, while the rest of the wedding party follows along, horns blaring, banners waving, and cars dressed up in streamers and bearing often times lewd comments across the windows! And they don’t even bother to get a parade permit!
