SUPPORT: Save Bryce Faulkner
Hi Everyone
This story is one that really touched me. Read and send on to your friends. I know we are far from the USA - but you never know.
The story is as follow:
"A 23 year old pre-med student from Arkansas in the US has gone missing after his family discovered that he was gay. It is now alleged that Bryce Faulkner’s conservative Christian family threatened to cut Bryce off from his family and finances if he did not go into “ex-gay therapy”.
Faulkner’s boyfriend, Travis, last received a tearful phone call from Bryce on June 15. Before his disappearance, Faulkner told his friends that he planned to be open about his relationship and move closer to Travis who lives in Wisconsin.
However, after finding Bryce’s password, his mother discovered emails which Bryce had written to Travis. According to a website set up by gay rights activist Reverend Brett Harris for Bryce, “in order to manipulate Bryce into accepting ‘treatment’ for his homosexuality, they [his family] took away everything and left him the choice of becoming homeless and destitute or going into therapy. As anyone can imagine, this wasn't much of a choice.” " [mambaonline]
We as South Africans have one of the most liberal Constitutions in the world, but it is our duty to help our fellow GLBT family around the world and also look after their well-being. Go and visit the following sites and their FB group and show your support.

TOXIC TORSO
As you all know we posted a pic of the now famous T-shirt that said "Joost did it" - we had a huge response with people asking where they could buy it - well good news boys and girls ....their website is up and running!! You all know that I am a HUGE supported of South African Entrepreneurs ...especially if they follow their dreams couples with creativity. The Toxic Torse Team has got both - click on the Title-Link to go directly to their website.
To entice you, here is a small excerpt from their website:
“Toxic Torso was established in 2009 by two very optimistic individuals. When we say “optimistic individuals” we really mean money hungry and mentally ill human beings. They should not be allowed to roam the earth freely and need to be jailed for life!
But we digress... We here at Toxic Torso believe that everyone has a right to say what's on their minds...but why only say it when you can wear it too!
Our T-shirts are specially made for people who don't hide behind political correctness, don't conform to society's crazy expectations and, in essence, just don't give a fuck. We only use the best quality T-Shirts, the best printing method, and the best designs... no second grade shit for a Toxic Torso. Our T-Shirts are limited and of the highest quality so no mainstream bullshit here. Premium Prices for Premium T-Shirts... accept it or fuck off.
Your Toxic Torso will speak for you when you aren’t able to, whether you are passed out, punched out or just too fucking lazy to put words together and utter them.
So... if you want a T-shirt that is just as bad ass as you, and probably will out live you, then you have just discovered your soul mate... “
Well done guys !! Keep up the good work.

How does SA Boyzz Measure Up
JOE ARPAIO: Love Him or Hate Him
TO THOSE OF YOU NOT FAMILIAR WITH JOE ARPAIO, HE IS THE MARICOPA COUNTY SHERIFF (ARIZONA) AND HE KEEPS GETTING ELECTED OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
These are some of the reasons why:Sheriff Joe Arpaio created the "tent city jail" to save Arizona from spending tens of millions of dollars on another expensive prison complex.He has jail meals down to 20 cents a serving and charges the inmates for them.
He banned smoking and pornographic magazines in the jails, and took away their weightlifting equipment and cut off all but "G" movies. He says: "They're in jail to pay a debt to society not to build muscles so they can assault innocent people when they leave." He started chain gangs to use the inmates to do free work on county and city projects and save taxpayer's money. Then he started chain gangs for women so he wouldn't get sued for discrimination.
He took away cable TV until he found out there was a federal court order that required cable TV for jails. So he hooked up the cable TV again but only allows the Disney channel and the weather channel. When asked why the weather channel, he replied: "So these morons will know how hot it's gonna be while they are working on my chain gangs."
He cut off coffee because it has zero nutritional value and is therefore a waste of taxpayer money. When the inmates complained, he told them, "This isn't the Ritz/Carlton. If you don't like it, don't come back."
He also bought the Newt Gingrich lecture series on US history that he pipes into the jails. When asked by a reporter if he had any lecture series by a Democrat, he replied that a democratic lecture series that actually tells the truth for a change would be welcome and that it might even explain why 95% of the inmates were in his jails in the first place.
With temperatures being even hotter than usual in Phoenix (116 degrees just set a new record for June 2nd 2009), the Associated Press reported: About 2,000 inmates living in a barbed wire surrounded tent encampment at the Maricopa County Jail have been given permission to strip down to their government-issued pink boxer shorts. On the Wednesday, hundreds of men wearing pink boxer shorts were overheard chatting in the tents, where temperatures reached 128 degrees. "This is hell. It feels like we live in a furnace," said Ernesto Gonzales, an inmate for 2 years with 10 more to go. "It's inhumane."
Joe Arpaio, who makes his prisoners wear pink, and eat bologna sandwiches, is not one bit sympathetic. "Criminals should be punished for their crimes - not live in luxury until it's time for parole, only to go out and commit more crimes so they can come back in to live on taxpayers money and enjoy things many taxpayers can't afford to have for themselves." The same day he told all the inmates who were complaining of the heat in the tents: "It's between 120 to 130 degrees in Iraq and our soldiers are living in tents there too, and they have to walk all day in that sun, wearing full battle gear and getting shot at, and THEY have not committed any crimes, so shut your damned mouths!"
Way to go, Sheriff! If all prisons were like yours there would be a lot less crime and we would not be in the current position of running out of prison space in South Africa with one of the highest crime rates because ... our Government believes that criminal have more rights than the victims?!
What is your feelings on this topic? Do you agree or disagree with Joe Arpaio's antics? Post your comments.

Blonde in Bar
A Blonde from Pretoria is sitting in the bar with two guys beside her.
The first guy says to the barman, "Johnnie Walker, single."
And the second blurts, "Jack Daniels, single."
At that, the bartender approaches the lady and asks, "And you ma'am?"
She answers: "Katryn van der Merwe, married."
