It's Not About us But About All Of US

For about the last half hour of the debate I went on FB and Twitter and the OUTRAGE was spewing.

Those complaining of course because LGBT issues weren't brought up.

I've said it time and time again on this blog but apparently folks aren't listening .. it's all about jobs .. jobs .. jobs and the economy stupid.

In this election, regardless who you are for, it's not about us but about US ... most Americans at this point don't give a hoot about LGBTs and their issues.

They are concerned about jobs, putting food on the table and keeping a roof over their head.

And quite frankly those who I saw complaining don't need to worry about the latter things.

This community of ours has become so polarized on OUR issues and sees things political with blinders on regarding what is important to us, they don't give a hoot of what matters to others, it's no wonder the heteros would like to say to us, JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP !!!

De Bisexual Nemesis Of James Bond

So in the new James Bond flick Skyfall, the villain is Silva portrayed by Spanish hunk Javier Bardem.

The LGBT websites are tripping over their dropped undies because they report Silva is gay and tries to seduce Bond (played by Daniel Craig) while he is tied up in a chair.

Actually from the little bit I've read Silva is most likely bisexual, or it could all be just a come on to make Mr. Bond as uncomfortable as possible, but of course that doesn't work with this line from James to Silva, "What makes you think this is my first time ?".

But what if Silva is gay or bisexual, as we know, in the end, nothing good comes of the Bond villains. Which brings me to this thought.

How long before the likes of GLAAD start complaining that yet again a member of LGBT is being portrayed in a negative light, one which shows "the only good gay is a dead gay".

The clock is running, not only for Silva but for the protesting to begin .. tick .. tick .. tick.

Jealousy The Peril Of Being Bisexual

It's not often I promote a blog which I come across but Aroused Woman authored by Trish Causey is worth adding to your favorites whether you're a straight gal, lesbian, bisexual or just a guy wanting to learn more about women and the all important how to please and get along with a woman.

What brought me to Causey's website was this posting about a bisexual man telling his girlfriend about his wants and needs to full-fill being bi and the jealousy it brought about for his girlfriend, not just worrying about his want of other women, but also men.

Unless one is hooked up with another bi or an open minded partner it can cause great consternation for the unsuspecting partner when all is laid on the table about true feelings of oneself and wanting to be the real person and sexual identify one needs to be.

Causey who herself is bisexual gives the questioner of "Ask Trish" some guidance without being condescending nor judgemental. And it's worth a read if for nothing else to see how uneasy it can be for members of the L & G (and of course straight) not understanding where we B's are coming from in not only our identity but also sexual gratification.

Aroused Woman, because of photos and subject matter, is one for adults only and certainly those with an open mind on all things sexual in nature. But one which I do recommend.

James Bond's Transgender Bond Gal

As you probably know this year marks the 50th anniversary of the mega-blockbuster movie saga known as James Bond ... good grief do I feel old !

What some may not know is that in one James Bond flick, For Your Eyes Only, Caroline Cossey aka Tula was one of the James Bond girls albeit in a small walk-on shot and the first and only as far as we know transgender Bond Girl.

Born Barry Kenneth Cossey, she was diagnosed as being intersexed and at age 17 began hormonal therapy and in 1974 had sex reassignment surgery. Cossey identifies herself as transsexual rather than transgender.

As a model using the name Tula she wowed those her saw her and was featured in a Playboy magazine shoot in 1981. She had appeared in several magazines such as Harper's Bazaar as a top rated glamour model.

However she was "outed" by the UK rag News of The World after her appearance in the Bond film and with the headline, "James Bond Girl Was A Boy".

So upset was she with the outing she contemplated suicide.

But to her credit she fought back and came out with her best selling book, I Am Woman in 1982 followed by a second book in 1991 My Story. She appeared in Playboy a second time in 1991 with a pictorial spread.

Cossey has been married to Canadian David Finch since 1992 and lives near Atlanta, GA.

On June 23, 2015 Cosmopolitan magazine wrote an article about Tula and her thanking Hugh Hefner for "giving her a platform" and being Playboy's first trans model.
