 <title>The Hypocrisy of some Straight Humans to Homosexual Sex</title>
 <link>http://www.progressiveu.org/node/38788</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;A big topic on everybody&#039;s lips these days is homosexuality.  Should they be allowed unions, etc, etc.  But what I find most appaling about this whole debate is the hypocrisy of straight men and women.  Take this discussion I&#039;ve heard before from teenage guys:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;Dude, chicks making out is hot.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;Yeah they are.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;But guys making out is disgusting and not right.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My response is, yeah, yeah right.  It is ok girls to be in a relationship, but guys is a big no.  The opposite is true for women, they find gay guys hot and gay girls not.  It is so hypocritical and stupid.  If it is ok for one sex to be gay, then it should be ok for the other to be gay. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As a good friend of mine put it. &quot;We&#039;re all basically bisexual.  If you watch a guy and a girl fucking, you&#039;re getting pleasure from both of them even though you claim only to be watching because of the girl.&quot;  That is a blog for a different time.  And next time you hear two people talking about how hot lesbian or gay sex is and how the opposite is gross, remind them not to be pricks.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>NYAC Launches Online &quot;Youth Voice&quot; Initiative</title>
 <link>http://www.progressiveu.org/node/38239</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nyacyouth.org/alerts/youthvoice_Feb2008.html&quot;&gt; LGBTQ youth encouraged to register at www.nyacyouth.org&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;WASHINGTON – The National Youth Advocacy Coalition (NYAC) is launching a grassroots initiative to reach lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning youth through the Internet, the agency announced today.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &quot;Youth Voice&quot; initiative is being unveiled this week at Creating Change, the national conference on LGBT equality, which is being held in Detroit, Michigan.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The purpose of &quot;Youth Voice&quot; is to create a national email database of LGBTQ youth and allies ages 13-24. The group will be polled frequently to determine how they feel about the issues confronting them and what they think are the most important issues facing their state and the nation. &quot;Youth Voice&quot; will become a clearinghouse for youth opinion on LGBTQ issues; and NYAC will utilize these opinions to formulate its advocacy for LGBTQ youth during this election year.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;NYAC wants to hear directly from young gay people and their allies,&quot; said Lara Crutsinger-Perry, interim director for NYAC.&quot; We already see that young people are voting in historically-high numbers this year. Our role will be to hear their collective concerns and issues and then make sure that the youth voice is heard by other national LGBTQ organizations and state groups.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;NYAC is asking all LGBTQ groups on the state and community level to help spread the word about &quot;Youth Voice.&quot; Online registration is open to anyone 13-24 at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nyacyouth.org&quot; title=&quot;www.nyacyouth.org&quot;&gt;www.nyacyouth.org&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The National Youth Advocacy Coalition is a social justice organization that advocates for and with young people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or questioning (LGBTQ) in an effort to end discrimination against these youth and to ensure their physical and emotional well being.&lt;/p&gt;
