The automobile industry spends millions of dollars researching the average consumer’s needs during various life stages. Depending on our age and position in life, our cars say a lot about us, our desires and the image we wish to project. Of course, we of the homosexual persuasion have a slightly different set of needs and paths than our straight counterparts. Below is a list of vehicles that we at Gaywheels.com feel suit the four primary phases of gay life. Mind you, this list represents a random sampling from a broad field of outstanding automobiles, but as space is limited we’ve chosen a few standouts worthy of attention.
We were all over the story last month about Internet dating site eHarmony.com and the less-than gay friendly practices they employ. So we were quite interested today in the PinkNews.co.uk article about a rival site called Chemistry.com. The new website welcome those who were rejected from the eHarmony dating service because they are gay. The eHarmony founder has previously stated that his site is about marriage and that the eHarmony “matching technology” was derived from studies of straight married couples and as gay marriage is illegal, in his words, he is not interested in their business.

A bid by Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle to provide domestic partner health benefits to state workers has been thwarted in the legislature. The House budget committee voted along party lines to reject the measure. Democrats were in favor of the plan but they failed to get the one Republican vote they needed to insert the policy into the budget.
Efforts are afoot in the Sauk Valley to provide support for teenagers who live an alternative lifestyle - and are more at risk because of it.
Silence. Smiles. Blaring bullhorns. All with the same message: condemnation. Gays will repent or burn in hell. Last week, 27 young gays and lesbians and their supporters combated it all with silence as they stood in front of Bob Jones University, the latest stop in one of two Equality Ride bus tours by the interfaith lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) group Soulforce. They're asking for dialogue with students and faculty at 32 religious schools and calling to task those schools that refuse to hear a different interpretation of scripture
A New York gay man who donated millions of dollars to LGBT causes going back to the early 1970s died February 22 at age 85. He insisted on remaining anonymous in life and in death not out of a desire to be closeted, but rather to inspire others to give in the same way. |
