Does Lesbian Rapper Melange Lavonne Openly Criticize the HRC and The Advocate on Her New Album?

Filed Under Lesbians, Race | 3 Comments

Lesbian rapper Melange Lavonne is pissed – and rightfully so. While promoting her new song Freedom Writer, Lavonne wrote the following in a MySpace bulletin today:

I recorded this song that will be on my next album to let my fans know and everyone who has supported me that I appreciate your support. Although unfortunately even in Gay Mainstream media my music will never be recognized as being popular because of my subject matter and even in Gay Entertainment “sex sales” more, nor will you see my face on any major gay covers of magazines (cough cough… Advocate) I just don’t fit the Gay Mainstream image (cough cough…Caucasian, rock or folk music), so with that said, I figured out that the only thing I truly have that motivates me to keep making music is God and my Fans.

Lavonne goes on to say:

I don’t support any organization who can discriminate a certain group of people and then turn around and call themselves a Equal Rights Organization for the LGBT community or cater to the LGBT Community but only to certain ethnic backgrounds. If you don’t know what groups I am referring to well that will soon be revealed on my next album when its completed. My mission is to bring people together and if that means I have to put Gay Organizations on blast for being hypocrites, then so be it.

My guess? Lavonne will be blastin’ the HRC – and hopefully with a fully loaded barrel. It’s always been my opinion that the HRC cares only for certain segments of the LGBTQ community. Wanna guess which segments they don’t give two shits about? I also believe you can always tell when a prominent lesbian or gay blogger has been bought and paid for by the HRC; they begin to sound like HRC-parrots. You know who you are.

I can’t wait to hear Lavonne’s new music. I hope to have her on SistersTalk Radio soon to chat it up about her new projects. And maybe we’ll hear more about her beef with The Advocate and (I’m guessing) the HRC.

Church Performs Gay Exorcism on Teenager

Filed Under Gays, Religion, WTF? | 1 Comment

Update June 29, 2009: Pastor defends exorcism.
——–

This kinda thing happens in a lot of churches. BUT, this church’s actions were caught on video:

I grew up in the south and most of the Black churches there perform ceremonies like these. Let’s make it clear that these ceremonies are not limited to homosexuals. I’ve seen “exorcisms” for alcoholics, wife beaters, cheating spouses, teenagers who steal, teenagers who get in trouble in school, teenagers who disrespect their elders and drug addicts.

I’m sure Black churches are not the only ones that perform these kinds of ceremonies.

Teen Lesbian Couple Voted Best Couple by Their High School Peers

Filed Under Lesbians, LGBT, Race | 7 Comments

While the adults in Albany, NY still can’t get it together to vote on the gay marriage bill in the NY Senate, the students of Mott Haven Village Preparatory (Public) High School in the Bronx have already cast their vote – and made history.

For the first time at their school (and perhaps in all of the Bronx), a same sex couple, Victoria Cruz & her girlfriend Deoine Scott, were voted “Best Couple” by an overwhelming majority of students.

Read a transcript of the couple being interviewed: here.

Did You Miss Lesbian Comedian Gloria Bigelow on SistersTalk Radio?

Filed Under Lesbian Podcast, Lesbians, Race | Leave a Comment

Tonight on SistersTalk Radio, we interviewed lesbian comedian Gloria Bigelow.

Subtle, disarming, and witty- Gloria Bigelow is a refreshing new comedian who doses out humor in bite sized chunks – easy for the listener to swallow, but realness nonetheless. Coming to comedy from a background of acting, she is an excellent observer of life and a natural improviser. An openly gay black woman, “she’s got a bone to pick with everybody!” She does so by wittingly tackling issues from Low Lesbian Esteem to the Iconization of Snoop Dog, all done with a smile. With issues of sexuality, race and gender at the forefront of her work she has become a favorite and a “one to watch” on the New York comedy scene.

Hear Gloria discuss:

*How and when she decided she wanted to make a career of making people laugh
*Her very first performance as a comedian
*Her experience at LOGO’s New Now Next Awards
*Being a triple minority: Black, female, and gay
*Her coming out story
*Comedians she admires
*Future projects

Download the podcast now.
