Zoom meetings to get organized.
I am going to start organizing zoom meetings once a week to get started. I am thinking Sunday at 1pm so it 2pm in EST and 11 am PST. I am open to suggestions.
If we do it during the week, it would have to be 8pm CST, 9pm EST, so that it would be 6pm PST.
Maybe we do this to get started and then each time zone has its own meeting.
It is time we start getting organized in the United States.
Two new separate mpox case in England. UK National Health Service opens up mpox vaccination centers.
Despite talk of risks being low, the UK is deciding to work to have men who have sex with men get vaccinated. It benefits Gays, but mpox in Africa isn’t confined to those who had sexual activity.

Pete Buttigieg, Gay former Transportation secretary apparent stops using pronouns on his X account.
I didn’t see pronouns on his Facebook account. The Internet Archive doesn’t effectively archive Facebook or X I can’t check that they were formerly there. However, they aren’t there now.
The Democratic establishment is preparing to drop some or maybe all of the trans agenda and Pete Buttigieg wants them to know he is on board with that.

WE NEED A NON-PARTISAN AGENDA. Don’t be a partisan hack.
Very few considered what I am pointing out and instead were hacks for their political party. Republicans uncritically thought I was great and Democrats uncritically thought I was a villain.
I am Gay-centric.
The fact is that Bishop Budde asking for “mercy” is actually an attack on the human rights of Gays. She should have used the term “respect” or something like that. “Mercy” involves the idea of forgiveness for a crime in most of its meanings in the Oxford English Dictionary and in a few uses it means charity. It is at best paternalistic.
Also, you don’t beg for your rights.
The other idea in the essay is about how conservative Christians do damage to the reputation of Christianity and the liberal Christians then salvage the reputation of Christianity. If the next four years has homophobic Christians damaging the reputation of Christianity, I am going to not allow an easy free pass by the liberal Christians for what happened.
Too many Gays forgive too often.
You attack Gays, we will kick back. You attack Gays there will be consequences.
I thought mobilizing Gay atheists to go after homophobic Christianity would be a way to resist homophobic Christianity. Not much progress so far, but I think I am getting some ideas out there to start some type of action.
Substack, Bluesky and X and Gay art postings.
Now that we can have some Bluesky artists posts be previewed on Substack, I am able to start sharing information on artists showing their work.
After X stopped allowing X posts to be previewed on Substack, I wasn’t able to share X posts on Substack letting people know about Gay artists.
Artists are picking up that posting on Bluesky means more forums and share posts of their art. I see one artist on X after another start posting on Bluesky.
I am letting Chinese and other Asian artists know about Bluesky.
This hopefully puts pressure on X to reverse their position regarding Substack. People post in a forum hoping their posts gets widely shared. When a social media platform bans sharing to another platform they make their platform less desirable. These social media companies think they rule without restraints, but there is competition now.
I spent an hour last Monday, 1/27/2025 letting all the Chinese Gay artists know about Bluesky.
The hypocrisy of Christian groups complaining about persecution in foreign nations when they support the persecution of Gays.
I was researching all the local anti-Gay organizations in Dallas, which there are many, and I discovered that several of the local denominations exist in Ghana also and there they persecute Gays severely.
Doing the Houses of Hate project requires knowing if the church is homophobic and that often involves researching their denomination.
They might have a happy face here in the United States, but in Ghana they are out to persecute Gays.
There complaint about being persecuted isn’t really a human rights complaint, but a complaint that they don’t control the agenda of who is to be persecuted.
This group looking to throw Gays in prison includes the African Methodist Episcopal Church, the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, the Christian Methodist Church, and The Salvation Army.

COGIC, Church of God in Christ should be called Church of Goofs in Christ.
Nasty denomination.
Two more maps of homophobic churches in Dallas.
This is the very trendy Bishop Arts area and some other parts of Oak Cliff where lots of Gays live. Oak Cliff used to be a separate city and is the part of Dallas South of the Trinity. What is called South Dallas is actually towards the center of Dallas.
It is going to take some time before I can map all of Dallas.
This is the directory of the maps posts.
