List of Famous Gays, Lesbians Bisexual and Transgender

Here is a partial list of famous gays (both living and dead). Famous people who are simply rumored to be gay, lesbian or bisexual, are not listed.
The high prevalence of people from the West on this list may be due to societal attitudes toward homosexuality. The Pew Research Center's 2003 Global Attitudes Survey found that "[p]eople in Africa and the Middle East strongly object to societal acceptance of homosexuality. But there is far greater tolerance for homosexuality in major Latin American countries such as Mexico, Argentina, Bolivia and Brazil. Opinion in Europe is split between West and East. Majorities in every Western European nation surveyed say homosexuality should be accepted by society, while most Russians, Poles and Ukrainians disagree. Americans are divided–a narrow majority (51 percent) believes homosexuality should be accepted, while 42 percent disagree."

Quote of the Day

"You are the making of your own sufferings. If you choose to be happy then you will find it, and if you seek evil, expect misfortune and evil to come."

Come To Think Of This!

Could you imagine how the Filipinos treat Manny Pacquiao because of his wealth? He is given top priority and job and even have a media coverage and sensation on occasions like his birthday, his baby baptismal, his mum's birthday, and all other occasions involve with the family . They are all after Pacquiao's success and wealth.

Chris Brown and Rihanna Unsettled Business

Whats wrong with these two feuding and battering couple. With a blink of an eye the meteoric rise is as fast as the falling star when their fame sharply and steeply fell because of a romantic bickering. It would be a loss and a sad event for the fans since these two young artist (at their 20s) are promising big stars who can throw you hits after hits of rnb music to the taste and delight of its fans. Settlement of dispute and forgiveness and move on is the solution before its too late. We are still hoping they can redeem their battered image in the public and start anew since they already proved their worth in the limelight. Keep shining Rihanna and Chris Brown

Come To Think Of This!

Hungry Beast Feeding On The Prize Fighter

Can you imagine Pacquiao and lots of staff and cohorts behind him wherever he goes? Do you know who they are? They are suckers for blood and money. They are behind the prizefighter because of his wealth he pocketed from all the sweat, blood and a life on gamble inside the boxing ring yet these people who were lame and useless and unemployed and that what they can only do is drain Pacquiao of his money because none of them are hardworking enough to find income but the easiest way is to take advantage of others hardships and struggles and much more the politicians are rallying behind him (imagine how they treat the boxer because of his wealth - you know the motives!) and that shows how starving are these for blood money. Hungry beasts preying on the hapless prizefighter.

Come To Think Of This!

In the Philippines, the beasts and the social climbers are only good when they are sleeping but they are evil when they are awake, violent and vicious, they forages the innocent grasses out to stain with dark pigment of wickedness, poison and cruelty.

Visayas Republic

If the post 2010 National Elections fail to amend the constitution and change the presidential form of government into FEDERAL-PARLIAMENTARY GOVERNMENT, the Visayas region will ask to be separated from the rest of the country and have their own independent republic with a FEDERAL-PARLIAMENTARY FORM OF GOVERNMENT.

Miss Earth 2009 Trivias

Boracay Island, Malay, Aklan, Philippines, Miss Earth 2009 venue
Miss Cuba, Jamilette Gaxiola
Before the Miss Earth 2009 competition heats up, here's some of the heads up starter and overview of this year's pageant:


Bolivia Dominique Peltier (Bolivia) previously competed at Miss Universe 2009 in Nassau, Bahamas.

Guatemala Hamy Tejeda previously competed in Miss World 2007.

Honduras Alejandra Mendoza, the winner of Miss Honduras Belleza Nacional 2007-2008 (Miss Honduras 2007-2008) pageant was supposed to represent Honduras in the Miss Earth 2008, but failed to compete. She will now represent Honduras in the Miss Earth 2009. She also competed in the international Reina de La Costa Maya 2008 pageant in August 2008 and won second runner up including the best in national costume award.

Kazakhstan Inessa Nazarova, the winner of Miss Earth Kazakhstan 2009, previously competed as Miss Kazakhstan in the Miss Ámbar Mundial 2009 beauty pageant, but she failed to place. In 2007, she was appointed by the organizer of Miss Tourism Queen International as representative of Kyrgyzstan. She competed and became a semifinalist in the Miss Tourism Queen International 2007. In 2009, she was again appointed by the Miss Tourism Queen International organizer to represent Georgia in the Miss Tourism Queen International 2009, but this time, she failed to advance on the semifinal round.

Paraguay Gabriela Rejala previously competed in Miss World 2008.

Philippines Sandra Seifert was a contestant in Binibining Pilipinas 2009 but was disqualified for having posed in a two-piece-swimsuit in a Men's Magazine. Born in Taiwan, she is the fist non-native born Philippine representative. Seifert's father is of German heritage, and her mother is Filipino.

Puerto Rico Dignelis Jiménez previously competed in Miss International 2003 but she was unplaced. She also represented Puerto Rico in Miss Tourism World 2004, she was 2nd runner up, and won Best in Evening Gown.

USA Amy Diaz previously competed in the Miss USA 2008 where she made the top 15. Diaz is also half Dominican.

New crown

In the 9th edition of the pageant, the Miss Earth Organizers will unveil a new crown to be worn by the winner of Miss Earth 2009 with the preservation of the planet Earth as its primary consideration. The crown was designed by an environmentalist jewelry designer from Florida, Ramona Haar, the official jeweller of the Miss Earth pageant.[120]

The new crown is made of 100% recycled precious metals comprising of 14kt gold and argentums sterling silver. What sets the Miss Earth crown apart is the fact that the gemstones used both precious stone and semiprecious stone were donations from over 80 different participating countries. These are gemstones that each country is known for either as the origin or source. The gemstones were sent in various forms: faceted, cabochons, beads or rough. The designer travelled to Jaipur, India to have these gemstones individually trim and faceted to the required cut and sizes.

The flower in the center of the crown represents Mother Earth, as inspired by the statement of an American poet, Ralph Waldo Emerson's "The earth laughs in flowers." The recurring spiral motif has always been associated with "maternal power" and "feminine prestige" which is the essence of Miss Earth. The gentle curves in the crown symbolize "unity" and the "spirit of cooperation."

Venue

The pageant will take place for the first time outside the Island of Luzon. The venue for Miss Earth 2009 final night was first planned to be held in Cebu City, Philippines, but the mayor declined due to the financial cost of sponsoring the pageant. Boracay Ecovillage Resort and Convention Center won the rights to host the coronation night of the 2009 edition of the pageant.

The convention center is a private ecotourism venue intended for trade events, industry conventions, corporate functions, concerts, and international exhibitions. It is one of the landmarks of the Island of Boracay, which was declared by the British publication TV Quick as the world's number one tropical beach and topped the 2007 Yahoo! Travel list of World’s Most Popular Beach.

Mastermind of Sen. Benigno S. Aquino Jr. Assasination

      We all know Sen. Benigno S. Aquino Jr. is the number one critic of the Marcos administration and after "Ninoy" was assasinated in 1983 the blame as the mastermind for the slaying is not less than the dictatorial President himself who knows no one under his dictatorial government and lots of abuses and murder has been done under his government. What we don't know is that another sinister is on the run right now in the Philippine soil. He is a slippery Jack the Ripper or he resembles The Joker in Batman.
      A detained, former military escort of Sen. Ninoy Aquino Jr. who escorted Ninoy back to Manila from US confessed that the mastermind in assassinating Ninoy was actually a close actually very close relative of his other half, Corazon C. Aquino. According to this witness, "the man is still walking free in the Philippine soil, wealthy and influential and has big corporations and companies he owns". We already know who he was but definitely according to him was not a Marcos loyal as we previously known.

Halloween: Horror and Haunting Experience

It is one of goth's favorite time to live in gloomy world of death, ghosts and haunting. Halloween (also spelled Hallowe'en) is an annual holiday celebrated on October 31. It has roots in the Celtic festival of Samhain and the Christian holy day of All Saints. It is largely a secular celebration but some have expressed strong feelings about perceived religious overtones. The day is often associated with the colors black and orange, and is strongly associated with symbols like the jack-o'-lantern. Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, wearing costumes and attending costume parties, ghost tours, bonfires, visiting haunted attractions, pranks, telling scary stories, and watching horror films.Halloween has origins in the ancient festival known as Samhain (pronounced sow-in or sau-an), which is derived from Old Irish and means roughly "summer's end". This was a Gaelic festival celebrated mainly in Ireland and Scotland. However, similar festivals were held by other Celts – for example the festival of Calan Gaeaf (pronounced kalan-geyf) which was held by the ancient Britons.
Snap-Apple Night by Daniel Maclise showing a Halloween party in Blarney, Ireland, in 1832. The young children on the right bob for apples. A couple in the center play a variant, which involves retrieving an apple hanging from a string. The couples at left play divination games. The festival of Samhain celebrates the end of the "lighter half" of the year and beginning of the "darker half", and is sometimes regarded as the "Celtic New Year".

The celebration has some elements of a festival of the dead. The ancient Celts believed that the border between this world and the Otherworld became thin on Samhain, allowing spirits (both harmless and harmful) to pass through. The family's ancestors were honoured and invited home whilst harmful spirits were warded off. It is believed that the need to ward off harmful spirits led to the wearing of costumes and masks. Their purpose was to disguise oneself as a harmful spirit and thus avoid harm. In Scotland the spirits were impersonated by young men dressed in white with masked, veiled or blackened faces.[8][9] Samhain was also a time to take stock of food supplies and slaughter livestock for winter stores. Bonfires played a large part in the festivities. All other fires were doused and each home lit their hearth from the bonfire. The bones of slaughtered livestock were cast into its flames.[10] Sometimes two bonfires would be built side-by-side, and people and their livestock would walk between them as a cleansing ritual.Another common practise was divination, which often involved the use of food and drink.

The term Halloween, originally spelled Hallowe’en, is shortened from All Hallows' Even – e'en is a shortening of even, which is a shortening of evening. This is ultimately derived from the Old English Eallra Hālgena ǣfen. Halloween is linked as well to the day of the souls every 2nd of November where associations to ghost and mythical creatures derived from. Halloween is being celebrated by people to scare and amuse children about mythical creatures and dead people rising from the tomb and zombies usually taken from the rich folk literature. People dressed in different horrifying costumes usually realistic props that can frighten and raise your hair. People also believe that during these days, souls of the dead in the underworld return to Earth to visit their loved ones and reside in their former homes. The significance of the All Soul's Day is for us to remember our departed loved ones in our hearts and minds they shall be immortal, pray for their soul to have eternal peace and communion with God and also during the All Saint's Day to remember the significant holistic works they've done and ask for their intercession for us.

Gordhan said South Africa had silenced skeptics. "Of course there were skeptics - there were those who said we couldn't do it, who talked about the lights going out, who spread dark rumours of plan B - but those voices are now silent.

"Our preparation for the 2010 World Cup began with a vision, and a statement of intent," he said.

All government agencies and departments are collaborating and coordinating to give a memorable and momentous FIFA World Cup in South Africa comes 2010.

this is an online social networking site for the LGBT community and even straights, too! Like any other networking sites, people can look, browse and find friends here. With the use of the site's search filter you can narrow down your searches based on your preferences. There are a lots of types of people here for the rainbow family, gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transgenders or even straights but you can digg up and investigate their stories or unravel their dark backgrounds, hehehe... there is also a community where members can discuss any topics that they want to talk about and even a chat room where one can see a prospect hmm or shall i say a potential date on a cosy restaurant or even in the dark shadowy room.

Website Review: Neopets

Neopets


This classic online pet games (it originates from its predecessor, Japan's Tamaguchi) is a hit for kids ages 6-11 and even young at heart or people of all ages sick of role playing games can divert their attention to these virtual pets who were desperately seeking attention from loving and caring owners. They can be feed, taught, put to sleep, and even bring to discover and travel places and even fight with other pets for top prizes in battle dome. However, to earn neopoints or neocash to purchase items for and and by your pets, you need to play games and discover places because there are hidden treasure behind. Worth your time and effort if you are to train to own a real pet in the future. I give three stars. ***

What is the other free online converter for videos into different format?

aside from vixy who convert youtube videos, I want to know what other online converter that are free to use to convert videos from other video streaming site into different format..


online converter is not so good i think
I recommend this leawo free flv converter, with which you can convert flv files to all kinds of video formats including AVI, wmv, mpeg, MP4, mp3, etc,
http://snipr.com/flv-converter/


Try EasyMovieConverter.com . Once you tried it, you won't want to bother with vixy.net again.

1. Grab the link/website address to the Youtube video to convert.
2. Go to http://www.EasyMovieConverter.com and enter the url on the text box on the main page.
3. Choose the type to convert it to.
4. Hit the download button. When it is converted, a button to proceed to the download page appears.

Have you tried media converter? I'm not entirely sure what the site is, but maybe mediaconverter.com... you'd have to confirm that. I use it fairly often- I have it bookmarked which is why don't know the address- and it's been fairly reliable. You don't have to create an account, which I really like, and you don't have to download any software, which is also great. The only bad thing about it is that it has a fairly restricted maximum size you can convert without paying, so depending on what you're converting to, it might not always work. It's always worked for me for online video to mp3.

Hope that helps you :D

How does single parents raise their children?

I wonder if single parents can still pamper themselves, enjoy the things they want to do, do their favorite hobbies/ activities, travel around the world and other things even if they have kids to raise.


One single parent with one child, that’s a family. In society, just about everything is blamed on single parents and broken homes, and it’s really sad because it’s just not true. The most important thing is not the number of parents in the home, but the parenting. We always ask people, ‘Don’t you know single parents who have raised great kids?’ So instead of thinking, “We are a broken home,” say, “We are a single-parent home”— it’s just a different kind of family. I think a lot of being a successful single parent lies in your perception. By that, I mean single parents often think it’s more difficult for them. It’s so easy to think the grass is greener on the other side, and yet when you have a two-parent family, your spouse might not be that supportive: There’s usually one parent that prefers to be more strict and one that’s more lenient, and then they fight about who is right. A big part of changing your perceptions about single parenthood is if you see your situation differently. Try to see your family’s situation as an opportunity rather than a negative. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying there aren’t any difficulties in being a single mom or dad, but there are advantages to keep in mind as well.


I think you can still enjoy yourself as a single parent, but no parent can travel around the world, with my first daughter i was a single mum for the first 5 years, and my mum would look after her about twice a month and i would go out with the girls let my hair down, but theres still that responsibility that i know i can't get completly drunk as i'll have to wake up at 6am the next morning. With a hubby its alot easier he'll take the girls away to the park on a saturday morning and i can have the morning to myself to get away from things, do a bit of shopping and things.


Personally, I wouldn't wish is upon my worst enemy. Even with a husband at home it can be hard, especially those long lonely nights up with breast or bottle feeding and a sick or grumpy child. The financial side if you were a single parent I imagine would be a huge challenge.
I have a couple of friends doing it alone, and they don't really get much time for themselves - they do find time, but it is not easy - having support from other family members would be crucial or a huge help in that situation.
It depends on the person, I guess some single parents handle it all really well, and others just fall apart.
If it is a situation where you need to get away from a bad relationship with the father, then I would leave and bring the child up on your own.

But if you just want a child for the sake of having a child - then I would not recommend it at all.


One of my friends is a single mum. She lives at home with her parents and while it's not at all easy, she works at her job and school and does what she can for her daughter. The father does help out a lot though. From what I hear, he's a great father, but he and my friend just didn't work out.

Babysitters, daycare, family... they help out. And they can still do things, but they are limited. Any couple with child(ren) are limited. I don't even know a married couple with small children that travel the world or anything like that.

Children are a blessing, but a major responsibility. You've got to sacrifice the life you could have had, in order to truly enjoy the life you are blessed to live with your child.


single parents do everything in the same way conventional parents do yes they still get to pamper themselves sometimes its nice to include the kids in it too tonight me and my 13 year old daughter are having a pamper night baths nails pizza a movie lots of unhealthy food and a night of loving ourselves we also go to the hairdressers together and my 8 year old and we enjoy each others company we travel we recently went to paris you cant be selfish travelling alone but then i find even 2 parent families don't travel alone i love being a single parent


I am 23 have a 2 1/2 year old & have another on the way, I am single. I work 8 am to 5 pm 5-6 days a week. My hair, finger & toe nails are always done. I go to the gym 2-3 time a week. Go on vacations. I pamper my daughter as well. My daughter is happy. I am happy. yes single parents can pamper themselves. they just need to learn how to do it with a baby on your arm


No one with kids travels around the world, unless they have great kids and extreme patience and tolerance. And of course a single parent can still pamper themselves and enjoy the things they want to and do their favorite activities. Its called daycare. Or a babysitter.


I don't know about travel because of financial reasons but the rest yeah. Eventually. But the hardest job is raising the kids as the role of both mom and dad.
