It's been 40 years, what about our equal rights?!!

Howdy All!

I've been to and survived the fortieth anniversary of the Stonewall riot- a.k.a. The 2009 San Fransisco Freedom Day Parade and Celebration.
I did so ALONE which for some odd reason has become an on-going theme for me in these post illness days. I first encountered Ronnie [ a.k.a. Mister Leather Daddy- Alameda County 2007 and his husband- Kevin, we were at the south corner of Sixth and Market Streets The Ross Store to our backs and Market Street and the Virgin MegaStore to the front. The parade started promptly at 10.30 hours and was over by 13.45 hours.
After the Parade I walked to Civic Center for the Celebration. It was there that I found a cute Aussie by the name of Andrew hawking a new magazine recently available here in the 'States. DNA is a mens men magazine from Austrailia. According to Andrew, DNA has been publishing for the Australian Gay Male market for the last 10 years or so.

In addition to meeting Sir Ronnie and Kevin, Aussie Andrew 9of Sydney), i met a trio of young cute guys from Idaho- Rob and his partner Adam and their friend Derrick
I took a liking to Derrick not so much for his young age of 21, but rather for the fact of him wearing a red silk kimono.
Incidentally Rob was the "old man" of the trio at 35 years of age and his partner Adam was 32 years old.

The day we stood together and said NO MORE!

Howdy All!
This coming Sunday June 28th marks the FORTIETH (40TH) anniversary of the modern Gay Rights Movement. It occurred at the Stonewall Inn in New York Cities' Greenwich Village. June 28, 1969 was the day when we stood collectively and said "NO", We will not yield and allow yet another police raid disrupt our lives. Our courage occurred at the Stonewall Inn- a gay-oriented nightclub. In this behr's opinion The gay community has been mighty tolerant over the past four decades. We still do not have Equal Rights and we can only marry our life partners in a hand full of united states. Incidentally Das Behr notes his own "Out & ABOUTness of twenty five years". LET THE PROTESTS CONTINUE WITH SOME FERVOR THIS TIME!

Two Score Ago

Two Score Ago...
The current era Gay Community got it's start two score ago. Okay, if one score is twenty years, then two score would be -yup- FORTY YEARS! We commemorate the Stonewall Inn's patrons rebellion of the raids done by NYPD way back during the last Sunday of June 1969. During the last forty years, I think we have been more than tolerant of the lack of Civil Rights to beRIGHTFULLY bestowed.

HURRAY!!! to New England because all six states(Massachusetts, Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Rhodes Island now permit same gender marriage!!!!!< NOT MUCH FOR UBER LIBERAL CALIFORNIA, EXCEPT GET OUT OF THE FUCKING WAY YOU DINOSAUR.

Another Day In Paradise

Greetings All!
For those peoples that think of California as I once have- the state of progress and all things that are "cool", California's reputation is just that- a reputation. I reside in Northern California- the San Francisco Bay Area actually, and lemme tell you... it's NOT THAT PROGRESSIVE!! Five out of six New England states: Massachusetts, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire and Connecticut, all allow 'marriage equality' [same gender wedlock]... Now that's PROGRESSIVE- however, not too shocking, considering that the American Revolution started there in the place we all call New England. The commonwealth of Massachusetts a.k.a. the Land of the Pilgrims and The Puritans was the first state in the Union to grant same gendered couples the right of marriage. And here i am a transplanted N'Englander, formerly of Massachusetts, oddly enough, living here in California for the past twenty-three years!
Hell, even the State of Iowa has voted to permit same gender marriages.....
Hello?!? CALIFORNIA IT'S TIME TO WAKE THE FUCK UP!!!!

To ALL those concerned- FUCK YOU-!!!

Howdy All!!!
DasBehr has been completely been abandoned by guys & emtities I really thought were my friends- and those I cold rely upon- Manny and Russell. Evicted me from the room I was renting in their Campbell CA home whilst I was hospitalized and in a COMA mind-you. All of my possessions were seized and either given to Goodwill or sold... Namely two single drawer CD players, one eight input stereo output mixer, and my entire CD collection- including my hard to replace maxi-singles, also my Passport and my birth Certificate and my High School Diploma GONE... AW, THEY HAD TO FILE BANKRUPTCY TO SAVE THEIR HOUSE FROM FORECLOSURE AW- FUCK THEM they thouroughly got what they deserved- cause hey! you don't evict somone when they're hospitalized- It's just bad karmaThe Gay "Community" Of San Jose- Bars You know the businesses from where many gay folk get the realization of whom they are... For example the current day gay Community got it's start from the days long ago when gay bars were Police raided on a regular basis, one such place- THE STONEWALL INN in New York City was where we took a stand against the police raids- the stand-off became known as the STONEWALL RIOTS and they lasted for three (3) days. Each year thereafter the "Gay Freedom Day" is a recognised celebration of our strength in numbers throughout the world. This "Gay Day" occurs during the last weekend in June of each year...

Personally speaking, my whole world has beedn drastically altered since my illness- during the Winter of 2008. My recovery would have been so much easier if I had the support of the Bar community of Gay San Jose- As of this blog, I have been 86'd from both of San Jose's popular gay-bars. Namely MACS CLUB On Post Street, [86'd for pan-handling outside on the sidewalk in front of the bar] and RENEGADES on Coleman Avenue at Taylor Street. [86'd for falling asleep on th back patio]. The bar where a good chunck of my cash was spent- Renegades- THE place where a great number of my friends hang-out, play pool and socialize. The one bar, where I was told specifically, that I must have a job before I can be allowed to return to that bar. Fuck! y'know? I run a good chance of becoming a disabled person- that means no job for this behr....Anyways I've asked "Mary" to hang out with me at the SF Gay Day at the end of June... she said she would love to! Dasbehr will be hanging with a straight gal-pal for the 40th San Francisco Gay Freedom Day Parade! I can hardly Wait!!!
