"Buffalo NY Lesbians"
This is a group for Lesbians and Bisexual Women.   The Buffalo NY Lesbians was created October 2003 to bring the lesbian community together. It started with one woman and after a few days, she decided it would be bigger than anything she could do on her own, so she asked an acquaintance to help her out. We now have a founder, Co-Founder and 4 Directors running this very successful women’s group

This flirtatious foursome Madina Madis, Lady A, Mistress J. and Ava LaFey unite dance, political satire and queer sketch comedy to create a shocking, sex positive revue. Keeping with the age old tradition of burlesque, The Stripteasers use their wit and sass to challenge social stigmas, gender hierarchy, and political onstructs. Hardly virgins to the burlesque scene, The Stripteasers continue to seduce audiences internationally, most recently appearing at LadyFest Ohio, Buffalo's Music is Art Festival, Fetish Conn's National Fetish Convention in Tampa, and Skin Two's Rubber Ball in Atlanta. Catch them every Thursday at Roxy's as they rock and rebel against the status quo, presenting fluid forms of sexuality and showcasing the absurdity of social roles.

MOCHA  
 

Good morning!

            I am pleased to announce that Project YEAH will be conducting our first of many Youth Couple’s Testing party, Tuesday 7/17/07 from 2:30p - 5:30p. The last test will be conducted at 4:30pm that day. Bring you partner and get tested together!  If you don’t have a partner, bring a friend, to get tested for HIV and to update the knowledge of your status. There are a lot of us who have been tested for HIV in the past, and that is great! As you know, HIV tests to do not account for anything that has happened within the past three months of your last test, as far as infection of the virus in your bodies.

            I know that getting tested can sometimes be a difficult process to go through, mentally, emotionally, and for a variety of other reasons on different levels. The purpose of this event is to encourage us as people of color to recognize that this process we do no have to go through alone. There is strength in our numbers, and when we come together we can overcome any obstacle set before us.

            There will be food, drinks, and music to keep us entertained during this process, as well as the distribution of safe sex kits, to promote safe sex, of course. We will also be looking to recruit young men of color into our YMYV 6 week intervention. Participation in the intervention gets you up to $120 in gift cards for your participation throughout the intervention. If you plan to attend, please come with the intent to be tested. If you are not going to be tested, please bring someone in to get tested. Think of it as the price of admission to the party. I will see you all there!

The  mission of the MOCHA Project Inc. is to strengthen communities of color and their families, as they define them, by providing supportive environments. We recognize that social environments impact health behaviors. We seek to promote health and wellness through advocacy, education, prevention, service, and community development specializing in LGBT programming.
 

BASHED ON TV   - BRAVO  - step it up & dance

It is bashing at it's worse when one performer had to call himself a fag on tv, because he was not matching the masculine requirements.

Is it a form of gay bashing to remove a contestant based on his ability to perform in a masculine manor ?    In other words if they put John Wayne in a tu tu and  asked him to dance like a "girl" should he lose because that is not his nature.  It is one thing to stretch the abilities of the dancers to cross gender stereotypes to increase their range of performance but quite another when that requirement is used specifically in only one direction.  They apparently don't require the straight acting dancers to fem it up a bit or the ladies to butch it down.  Its rather like requiring street dancers to white it up.

People are who and what they are.  Yes some people are Tran gendered and a great many males and females are in the area close to it.  Diversity occurs in nature.  It should be celebrated, accepted and showcased for what it is.  Dance, theater and movies are an art form.  The roles  of the performance should be selected to match the performer not the other way around.  The roles of these dancers should showcase who they are not who the so called judges want them to be.  Is it wrong to a a exquisite performance by a male or a dramatic performance by a female?  Different words for fem and butch but it means the same.   Maybe it means less money at the box office, but is the true nature of art money or expression ??   To put the more effeminate in butch roles and to force them to dance exclusively with females is bashing in a socially acceptable manor.  It is asking them to sit in the back of the bus.  The back of the bus is a acceptable as any other seat, so why not.  The so apparently bigoted judges went so far earlier in the show, as to require 2 of the female performers to dance twice with the males as to avoid having to male dances dance together.  Some of the judges actually said that the contestant was not masculine enough as if that was a requirement to dance in America.  Yes men do dance with men - get used to it. 

For millions of Americans the damage is being done.  They now know that they can not be a dancer because the are too fem or too butch.  The show must be taken off the air and a more socially responsible show be put in its place to try to undo the damage it has caused.  The judges must be shown their opinions are un-acceptable and will not be tolerated.   We will not sit in the back of the bus because thats the way you like it and think it should be done. 

 

 

 

Found on my space:

 

It is often said that it only takes one person to start an idea. History is filled with examples of one person standing up among the masses and inspiring others to follow. Well I think this letter is that rally cry. This is where the power of the internet can be used effectively. Read this letter and see how it makes you feel. Hopefully it will move you as it did me. If so then take the next step. Pass it on and let it move someone else. Post it on your blog if you have one. Send it out as a mass email. Go on MySpace and get your friends to read it there. Send it to your local paper as a letter to the editor. Let's see how many people we can move!


Remember....it start's with one!!


Many letters have been sent to the Valley News concerning the homosexual menace in Vermont. I am the mother of a gay son and I’ve taken enough from you good people. I’m tired of your foolish rhetoric about the “homosexual agenda” and your allegations that accepting homosexuality is the same thing as advocating sex with children. You are cruel and ignorant. You have been robbing me of the joys of motherhood ever since my children were tiny.

My firstborn son started suffering at the hands of the moral little thugs from your moral, upright families from the time he was in the first grade. He was physically and verbally abused from first grade straight through high school because he was perceived to be gay.

He never professed to be gay or had any association with anything gay, but he had the misfortune not to walk or have gestures like the other boys. He was called “fag” incessantly, starting when he was 6.

In high school, while your children were doing what kids that age should be doing, mine labored over a suicide note, drafting and redrafting it to be sure his family knew how much he loved them. My sobbing 17-year-old tore the heart out of me as he choked out that he just couldn’t bear to continue living any longer, that he didn’t want to be gay and that he couldn’t face a life without dignity.

You have the audacity to talk about protecting families and children from the homosexual menace, while you yourselves tear apart families and drive children to despair. I don’t know why my son is gay, but I do know that God didn’t put him, and millions like him, on this Earth to give you someone to abuse. God gave you brains so that you could think, and it’s about time you started doing that.

At the core of all your misguided beliefs is the belief that this could never happen to you, that there is some kind of subculture out there that people have chosen to join. The fact is that if it can happen to my family, it can happen to yours, and you won’t get to choose. Whether it is genetic or whether something occurs during a critical time of fetal development, I don’t know. I can only tell you with an absolute certainty that it is inborn.

If you want to tout your own morality, you’d best come up with something more substantive than your heterosexuality. You did nothing to earn it; it was given to you. If you disagree, I would be interested in hearing your story, because my own heterosexuality was a blessing I received with no effort whatsoever on my part. It is so woven into the very soul of me that nothing could ever change it. For those of you who reduce sexual orientation to a simple choice, a character issue, a bad habit or something that can be changed by a 10-step program, I’m puzzled. Are you saying that your own sexual orientation is nothing more than something you have chosen, that you could change it at will? If that’s not the case, then why would you suggest that someone else can?

A popular theme in your letters is that Vermont has been infiltrated by outsiders. Both sides of my family have lived in Vermont for generations. I am heart and soul a Vermonter, so I’ll thank you to stop saying that you are speaking for “true Vermonters.”

You invoke the memory of the brave people who have fought on the battlefield for this great country, saying that they didn’t give their lives so that the “homosexual agenda” could tear down the principles they died defending. My 83-year-old father fought in some of the most horrific battles of World War II, was wounded and awarded the Purple Heart.

He shakes his head in sadness at the life his grandson has had to live. He says he fought alongside homosexuals in those battles, that they did their part and bothered no one. One of his best friends in the service was gay, and he never knew it until the end, and when he did find out, it mattered not at all. That wasn’t the measure of the man.

You religious folk just can’t bear the thought that as my son emerges from the hell that was his childhood he might like to find a lifelong companion and have a measure of happiness. It offends your sensibilities that he should request the right to visit that companion in the hospital, to make medical decisions for him or to benefit from tax laws governing inheritance.

How dare he? you say. These outrageous requests would threaten the very existence of your family, would undermine the sanctity of marriage. You use religion to abdicate your responsibility to be thinking human beings. There are vast numbers of religious people who find your attitudes repugnant. God is not for the privileged majority, and God knows my son has committed no sin.

The deep-thinking author of a letter to the April 12 ‘05 Valley News who lectures about homosexual sin and tells us about “those of us who have been blessed with the benefits of a religious upbringing” asks: “What ever happened to the idea of striving . . . to be better human beings than we are?”

Indeed, sir, what ever happened to that?

WEBSITE 
 
The Talk forum on this website was updated a few months ago and the mailing password went missing.  I have since manually verified all the people that have recently signed up for the forum.  It should be working now hopefully.  Many visitors come to Buffalo and want to know which bar or which event to go to .  They have checked and read the forum to see how the people in Buffalo view their bars and clubs.  A couple of thousand more people will read this than on your myspace blog - or just about any where else.

Now a new topic has been added.  It concerns what people like and dislike when they go to any bar in any city.  The bar owners have all read this forum so maybe they can get a better idea what the people that go to their think and want.  So do yourself a favor and let them all know what you think.  register on the talk forum and confirm your email address and the reply to any of the topics.

What do you look for when going out Let the owners and others know what you like
things you dislike Maybe somebody will listen and improve the bars
