Lesbian Web Series Star Nicole Pina on SistersTalk Radio

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

Tonight on SistersTalk Radio, we interviewed Nicole Pina. She stars in The Lovers and Friends Show, the first lesbian web series to feature a cast of same-gender loving women of color.

Nicole was born in Dominican Republic September 15, 1980 to a great family of artists. Her father was a well-known architect, her uncle a famous artist and her grandmother a powerful well respected clothing designer. She grew up in the beautiful city of Santo Domingo, where inspiration is bountiful with its natural wonders, beautiful landscapes and romantic sunsets.

When Nicole turned 13 her family moved to Florida. Finally she had a place she felt she identified with. Allured by all the mixed cultures and all the different ways Miami surrounded itself in all different forms of art, she found herself embraced by the gay and lesbian community she related to. Nicole joins the cast members of Lovers and Friends in the most amazing experiences of her life while trying to make history.

Hear Nicole discuss:

*How she landed the role of Tori
*Her family
*The Lovers and Friends Show character she’s most/least like
*Her recent experience in the UK
*How she deals with the labels others bestow on her
*Her coming out story
*Her relationship status
*Her ideal woman

Obama’s Healthcare Interview on BlogTalkRadio

Filed Under Barack Obama, Politics, Religion | Leave a Comment

Unfortunately, I missed this show live because I couldn’t get a connection.

President Obama was a guest on 40 Minutes for Health, a faith-based initiative tackling the healthcare issue in the United States. If you can sit through all the opening prayer and religious babble, you might like what you hear (or maybe not!)

I was a bit disappointed that most of the questions I have about healthcare reform were unanswered, but I might have expected too much from this broadcast.

I know I’ll piss off a whole lot of liberals with this comment, but I’ll say it anyway: this broadcast sounded more like a public service announcement designed to support the Obama administration’s healthcare plan. I didn’t hear anything tangible that would help me decide if Obama’s healthcare plan will be the best thing for America.

New Anti-Gay Religious Organization Says Sexual Relationships Belong to Married Heterosexuals

Filed Under LGBT, Religion, Sex and Sexuality, WTF? | 5 Comments

On GayWallet.com this afternoon, I saw an ad for The Lighthouse Covenant, the newest anti-gay religious organization (like we needed another one, right?). I thought it was strange that the ad was running on a gay web site, so I clicked it. Here’s what I found:

If you affirm the following, you are welcome to partner with us:

We covenant to teach a high view of Scripture. We trust the Bible as the only final authority for all aspects of life.

We affirm an aggressive, positive stance on kingdom expansion and congregational growth.

We choose to advance the use of all spiritual gifts through unleashing the priesthood of all believers.

We teach and practice that a full sexual relationship belongs exclusively within the biblical boundaries of a publicly committed marriage between one man and one woman.

We believe that mission and ministry is best accomplished within the context of congregations. Facilitating that mission and ministry should be the central focus of all expressions of the church.

I was so tempted to encourage GayWallet.com members to click on that ad just to blow the organization’s daily Adwords budget, but I opted to block the site instead. After blocking the site, I went back to see if they’re much of a threat. They’re not – at least not right now. It looks like a fairly new organization designed specifically to encourage its members to stand against gay rights issues. They made a rather lame (and confusing attempt) to justify point 4 in their mission statement:

Why do you make #4 a point? The rest sounds so missional. This sounds legalistic.

Answer: Every generation has its defining issue. In 1860, you had to say were you stand on slavery. Someday the sexuality issue will go away and there will be another defining issue. Clarity on the defining issue of the day frees a group up to do other things. Un-clarity leads to yet another round of discussion and lack of focus, therefore, on mission. It is ironic but true that clarity on divisive issues leads to less focus on them.

Anybody else confused with all that babble?

Perhaps The Lighthouse Convenant wants to take over as the new, younger generation of those old folks in the anti-gay religious organization AFA.
