Blend-o-licious endorsements...



The Christian Civic League of Maine's Mike Hein calls Pam's House Blend:
"a leading source of radical homosexual propaganda, anti-Christian bigotry, and radical transgender advocacy."

He is "praying that Pam Spaulding will "turn away from her wicked and sinful promotion of homosexual behavior." (CCLM's web site, 10/15/07)


Ex-gay "Christian" activist James Hartline on Pam:
"I have been mocked over and over again by ungodly and unprincipled anti-christian lesbians."
(from "Six Years In Sodom: From The Journal Of James Hartline," 9/4/2006, written from the "homosexual stronghold" of Hillcrest in San Diego).

"Pam is a 'twisted lesbian sister' and an 'embittered lesbian' of the 'self-imposed gutteral experiences of the gay ghetto.'" -- 9/5/2008



Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth Against Homosexuality heartily endorses the Blend, calling Pam:

A "vicious anti-Christian lesbian activist."
(Concerned Women for America's radio show [9:15], 1/25/07)

"A nutty lesbian blogger."
(MassResistance radio show [16:25], 2/3/07)


Pam's House Blend always seems to find these sick f*cks. The area of the country she is in? The home state of her wife? I know, they are everywhere. Pam just does such a great job of bringing them out into the light.

Trans Lives Still Seem Less Than Valuable In Memphis, Tennessee

by: Autumn Sandeen

Mon Jun 15, 2009 at 20:30:00 PM EDT



From the Nashville Scene:

Kelvin Denton was shot twice on May 27 -- once in the nose and once in the neck -- after police say Terron Taylor, 18, learned Denton was not a biological woman. Denton fled and was found near the Whitehaven Community Center. She was taken to the Med in critical condition, but survived. Today Denton is being held on $500,000 bond and will appear in court to face charges of attempted murder in the 2nd degree.

This is actually an improvement, since D'Andre Blake was released on a $20,000 bond for allegedly shooting another transgendered woman in 2006. A court date has yet to be set in this case.

In Memphis, Tennessee, the press doesn't acknowledge transgender people's new names; we don't set bail high for those who are accused of killing trans people -- even police get in on beating trans people, and can't solve her crime when the police beaten trans woman is killed on the streets a few months later.

My life, and the lives of my trans peers, are often seen as not being worth much. This view that trans lives arent't very valuable seems a particularly acute problem for folk in Memphis, Tennessee.

And of course our fierce advocate Obama
made things far better for us by parroting the Rights views about LGBT's in the DOMA brief and cannot possibly waste political capital saving our trans-sisters and brother's lives by establishing a deterrant policy. No, of course he cannot, he needs the clout to get through a healthcare bill that keeps the insurance companies right.

I tell you Chica that no greater abomination exists than women denying their spirit of sisterhood and instead becoming the oppressor. -Rebeca, Universidad Complutense de Madrid

It is so horrible and so unfair when the law and police we count on FAIL US
Just as some some considered the murder of Harvey Milk a PUBLIC SERVICE, and if White had only killed Mayor Muscone he probably would have gotten a life sentence. I've seen repeated cases of gay brothers beaten by police, sometimes AFTER they were already the victim of another crime.

No words make this any better.

What have you done today, to make ya feel PROUD?

I'm confused by that article...
It seems to be saying that they're going to charge Denton with her own attempted murder. Is that a typo, or are they really going to blame her for her own shooting?

Yes, I was surprised to read that as well, but it seems a mistake
The local Fox News station and the local alternative weekly newspaper both report that Taylor is the person being held on $500,000 bond.

If you want allies, you have to be an ally.

sick fucks
If I was wealthy I would fund a foundation to rescue all GLBTQ people who wanted to get out of there.

"She was taken to the Med in critical condition, but survived."
Crimeny, they make it sound like she was supposed to die but didn't have the courtesy.  

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même merde.

I would not be surprised
if there was also an element of racial indifference here as well. Its appaling. But it also shows why a federal hate crimes statute would be useful.

Ok, we all seem to know this happening, then why doesn't USAToday?
See story here.

"There is no evidence that a lack of prosecutions is occurring," said Erik Stanley, senior legal counsel of Alliance Defense Fund. "There is a well-documented pattern that these crimes are being punished under current criminal law without adding any kind of hate crimes provisions."

It absolutely infuriates me when I see quotes like that in the national media unanswered with the obvious truth of what is happening in Memphis, and unfortunately other places as well.
