Religious Homophobes Host “Purity Parade” in Belize
Purity Parade - Screenshot from Belize News video
News from Belize: A “Purity Parade” protesting LGBT activists’ legal motion to decriminalize homosexuality. (Here is a little more information on the motion, put forward by LGBT human rights group UNIBAM.)
Their arguments aren’t too interesting – the same old “marriage should be between a man and a woman,” and the same old, tired (and inaccurate) reasoning: “Why? Because Jesus said so.”
The concept of an a “Purity Parade” is kind of interesting, but the execution is rather disappointing. I must say, Pride parades are much more interesting to watch. Maybe they should ask us for lessons.

Stained Glass Aztec Calendar
This stained glass Aztec calendar blends artistic elements and styles not often seen together. (Traditionally, these are made from clay.)
Seen at the newly remodeled Taquería Los Coyotes on 16th Street between Mission and Valencia in San Francisco. (Also, if you’re looking for good Mexican food, Los Coyotes is much better than the mediocre mob scene across the street at Pancho Villa.)

Other Sheep is an organizational blog about “faith and LGBT concerns worldwide.” Run by long-time partners Rev. Steven Parelli and Mr. Jose Ortiz, Other Sheep recently returned from a nine-day cruise through the Caribbean. Rev. Parelli reflects on what has changed (and what has not) since he was a closeted Baptist teenager on Martinique in 1970. To read the Other Sheep travelogue, click here.

Kids these Days! San Francisco’s Mission High School’s Out Gay Wrestler Jaime Loo

Jaime Loo attends Mission High School in San Francisco where he is captain of the wrestling team. He is also gay. Loo, 17, a transplant from Panama, has found a supportive environment in his new country, at his school and on his team. He credits his involvement in wrestling for giving him the strength to be himself. He says: “Wrestling has played a big role in my life…it gave me self-confidence. It made me more responsible for myself and for my body. The confidence level on how possible everything is has changed me.” Read sports writer Roger Brigham’s column on Loo in this week’s Bay Area Reporter.
