Probation In War Of The Hoses Case

Hunky former FDNY firefighter 29 year-old Taylor Murphy got a five year probation sentence in his he-to-she slap fest of alleged hooker Claudia Charriez (in photo) back in 2011 during a tryst in a NYC Times Square hotel.

Murphy who once posed for a calendar photo shoot and likes his ladies with a little bit more between the legs beat the rap of choking Charriez but got a misdemeanor charge of slapping de bitch with a $400 fine and a felony conviction for contempt of court when he called and text Charriez 1,000 times even though contact was a no-no.

As a result of his alleged abuse of Charriez and conviction he lost his job with the FDNY in December.

During the trial which the NYC media dubbed "The War Of The Hoses", Charriez while on the stand claimed she "ain't no ho" despite having at the time an online ad for her escorting services to the tune of 400 bucks a pop or date if you prefer.

Charriez who is reported to be by the NYC media a pre-op transsexual did not attend Monday's sentencing but did offer a written statement which was read into the record before sentencing.

The T's no doubt will have their pantyhose and knickers all knotted up over the probation sentencing and also the article in today's edition of the New York Post owned by Rupert Murdoch which uses the sub-headline for the article "Bravest gets off easy on she-male beat".

For those who wish to offer their displeaure of the use of she-male in the newspaper article can send an email to the New York Post article writer via laura.italiano@nypost.com .

Frivolous Lawsuit Over T-Girl Potty

So there is this 1st grade boy who identifies as a girl in the state of Colorado who according to his parents the school he attends is discriminating against him because the school won't allow him to use the little girls room.

The school by the way is willing to accommodate the young laddie/lassie by letting him use the gender neutral adult restroom or a restroom in the nurse's office.

Nope not good enough, the parents want him to be able to do his business in the girls room because he thinks he's a she and of course the parents parlay and allow this silliness rather than waiting until an older age when he can understand what and why he wants to be in spite of being born a boy.

The mother says "we just want the best for ....".

Really, then how about ending this charade of a lawsuit.

It's confusing enough for adults when gender-benders (as opposed to transsexuals who go through slice and dice surgery) use the restroom of the gender they really aren't, let alone school children who will not understand why a boy in a dress is peeing in the girl's room.

That will be taken care of no doubt as children in this or another elementary school will have special classes on the subject and aspects of the T. Wonder how many parents will be thrilled with the idea of that.

Things were so much simpler when I was in elementary school.

Reading, writing, 'rithmatic and lunch ... not he's a she but not really.

LGBT Seniors Lost In Phoenix Policy

LGBTs in Phoenix, AZ are hailing an amendment to its discrimination law which will now include LGBTs.

According to an article in The Arizona Republic newspaper after five hours of often heated testimony on Tuesday the City Council voted 5 - 3 to extend it policy against discrimination to include sexual orientation and gender identity or expression.

The amendment which was championed by Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton will include housing, public accommodations such as hotels and restaurants and also employment. Those who break the policy face a misdemeanor fine of $2500.

But there are still exemptions such as religious organizations, small private landlords, private clubs and senior housing.

Religious groups will still be able to keep LGBTs out of housing run by the groups and although not specifically stated in the article so too one would imagine facilities and complexes for senior housing.

Currently the excemption for senior housing relates to age requirements however who is to say at some point (if it hasn't been done already) a facility for senior living such as retirement homes or retirement complexes including mobile home parks won't try to discriminate against LGBTs when they try to purchase or rent a retirement unit or after the fact by property committees and rules.

So it would seem that Phoenix LGBT seniors may have to continue to hide or go back in the closet.

Those hailing the news today should not stop their fight until their LGBT seniors are included in this non-discrimination amendment.

For they too will be seniors one day.

Tom Judson Lives His Life With AIDS

Tom Judson, actor, composer, musician and author has written a post at HuffPost Gay Voices describing his living with, rather than dying from AIDS twenty years after getting "that" call from his doctor.

The gay plague is not the death sentence it was so many years ago but with that being said there is still no cure nor prevention other than abstinence or taking sexual activity precautions.

Judson wrote his book Laid Bare which was published in 2011 based on his life experience as an legitimate actor, musician and yes of course his days as gay porn star Gus Mattox.

The HPGV writing gives one man's perspective who unfortunately far too many gay and bi men can relate to with honesty and thankfulness.

As he concludes in his essay, Sadly, I lost Bruce and most of my friends. I even outlived the World Trade Center. And much to my surprise, I was around to celebrate as the 20th century slipped into history. But I'd have to say that of all the milestones I've passed since that shocking morning two decades ago, the thing that pleases me most is that I lived to see Cats close.
