Amendement One: Are You Ready N.C.?

In less than 24 hours, the state of NC will vote on whether or not to add an actual ban to the state’s constitution on LGBTQ marriage.

 

According to ballotpedia.org “The measure would define marriage in the state constitution as between one man and one woman, and would ban any other type of “domestic legal union” such as civil unions and domestic partnerships.”

This amendment is just another attempt at keeping “Queerdo’s” like us in our place.  The fact that this measure is even on a ballot should remind us all of how much work we still have left to do. 

If you are in NC or have friends/family that are, urge them to vote “NO” on Amendment One.

ABOUT GIRL/GIRL SCENE:
 
Not your typical web-television show, Girl/Girl Scene is first and foremost a TV series on the web more than a web-series in the traditional sense of the word.                  

Since its online world premiere in June 2010, the 45-minute episodes have become the talk of cyberspace, instantly developing a following that has taken a life of its own. Shot guerilla style on a zero budget with no studio/TV network backing, and having garnered, not only a huge legion of fans, but as well as a partial endorsement from the State of Kentucky with a grant from the Kentucky Foundation for Women, “Girl/Girl Scene” is an astute raw and honest look at contemporary LGBT culture shedding light in an unapologetic, brutally realistic, and provocative way on what it means not only to be a lesbian but a lesbian in middle America.


Dropping at sporadic monthly intervals, each Girl/Girl Scene episode air for free on blip.tv network  (enjoying advertising sponsorships of corporate giants in the likes of T-Mobile, GM and Nintendo), streaming on blip.tv (www.girlgirlscene.blip.tv), on GGS’ official website (www.girlgirlscene.com) and Williams’ own personal cyberspace address (www.TuckyWilliams.com).
 


   

 


ABOUT TUCKY WILLIAMS:

Certifiably Kentucky’s biggest breakout success story, Tucky Williams, a fourth-generation Lexingtonian, attended the University of Kentucky at the tender age of fifteen (emulating her idol, Sharon Stone), where she graduated Summa Cum Laude with a BA in Journalism and a concentration in imaginative writing. She studied writing under the tutelage of acclaimed Kentucky Poet Laureate/writer James Baker Hall. She also earned a BS in Earth Sciences from Mississippi State University and went on to be an on-air broadcast meteorologist for the ABC affiliate station in Lexington, Ky.

She caught the acting bug at four and spent her formative elementary school years at a performing arts school where she received her formal acting training.  She snagged her first female lead role at her first audition (ever) in the indie feature “Shadows Light”. Her breakthrough role came in the form of Vix, the hot zombie slayer,  in “Dead Moon Rising” – a role that unofficially made her one of the hottest scream queens on screen and earned her not only a legion of devout horror fans but a professional debut and acting background in the horror films genre.

Tucky also teaches yoga twice a week, meditates regularly, follows the philosophy of Nietzsche and the teachings of Zen Buddhism. On the humanitarian/activist front, Tucky is a passionate advocate for Epilepsy awareness. Diagnosed with the condition back in 2009 after having literally dropped dead following a massive seizure, Tucky has since made it her life commitment to educate people about the disorder.

Tucky’s star fast-steadily continues to rise cementing her status as an enduring talent who has skillfully pioneered the new formula for acting superstardom.

The Ungodly Act of Sean Harris

A North Carolina preacher who believes that being effeminate is ungodly, has decided that telling his congregation to punh kids who show signs of being gay was simply a small joke.  Rev. Sean Harris literally went off on a tirade against gays and lesbians saying:

“So your little son starts to act a little girlish when he is four years old and instead of squashing that like a cockroach and saying, ‘Man up, son, get that dress off you and get outside and dig a ditch, because that is what boys do,’ you get out the camera and you start taking pictures of Johnny acting like a female and then you upload it to YouTube and everybody laughs about it and the next thing you know, this dude, this kid is acting out childhood fantasies that should have been squashed.Dads, the second you see your son dropping the limp wrist, you walk over there and crack that wrist. Man up. Give him a good punch. Ok? You are not going to act like that. You were made by God to be a male and you are going to be a male. And when your daughter starts acting too butch, you reign her in. And you say, ‘Oh, no, sweetheart. You can play sports. Play them to the glory of God. But sometimes you are going to act like a girl and walk like a girl and talk like a girl and smell like a girl and that means you are going to be beautiful. You are going to be attractive. You are going to dress yourself up.’” According to the  Inquisiter

Harris’ remarks came in response to the anti-gay initiative “Amendment 1″.   Sean Harris, as a “messenger of God” should really take some time to do soul searching and understand that even his own religion teaches that God made everyone and there is no one that is imperfect so the hypocrisy of trying to change what God has created doesn’t hold water.  He should be prevented from spewing any further hate speech and all of those in the congregation that laughed and said Amen when he encouraged the parents to make their kids “man up” by punching them, should all be investigated by for child abuse.  Just a thought.
