Married gay service members will still be discriminated against because of DoMA. They will not receive any of the benefits hetero married service members get; ie base housing, housing allowance, use of the commissary, etc, etc, etc, etc.

RE: (AUS)Tasmanian government supports gay marriage but won't act alone on the issueposted in LGBT News
So you want a word that separates us from the heteros, than a word that includes us into the whole of society.
The whole "separate but equal" has always been a lie.
By not giving us "marriage" they are saying that we are not good enough to have the same things they have.
As I explained before, marriage is included in every international agreement. If we start making up words just for fags, the we have to make new international agreements.

RE: A Possible Validation for Bisexualityposted in LGBT News
All the bisexuals I know are complete sluts.
They justify it by saying they can't be satisfied by just one person.
Of course a few also use the excuse of "I want to get married and have kids and I can't do that with a guy".
PS: There's a "bi" guy in the current UK Big Brother, but he's never had sex with a woman. It's like he's trying to pull the "I'm not a nasty faggot, I'm bi".

RE: 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' Repeal Countdown: The End Is Nearposted in LGBT News
Military officials also say the disparity in benefits between gay married couples and heterosexual couples also must be addressed.
Gays and lesbians will share the same barracks and bathroom facilities as other troops. But those legally married will be treated differently from heterosexual married couples when it comes to assigned housing, relocation packages and some other benefits.
Yep, Jim Crow is alive and well in the US still.
Married gays won't get any of the benefits that married heteros get.

RE: Judged and banned as "Non-gay related movies"posted in GayTorrent.ru Discussions
The movie in question is RocknRolla.
We (the staff) are slagged off because we have an Auto Approval system, which means things slip past us. We (the staff) are slagged off if we suggest that Auto Approval be ended so things don't slip past us.
As I said earlier in this thread, AA users are posting a lot of stuff that has no business being here. They are violating our trust in them, then bitching at us for correcting the situation they caused.

RE: Judged and banned as "Non-gay related movies"posted in GayTorrent.ru Discussions
We have had a rash of movies uploaded here recently that have nothing to do with GLBT whatsoever and many that break one or more rules; ie the blockbuster rule.
Of course you don't say what movie it was that you uploaded, so I can't give an opinion on why it was deleted.
If the rules are followed, you won't have to worry about your uploads getting deleted.
Since you have been entrusted with AutoApproval, your uploads bypass staff scrutiny. We usually only see then if we happen to come across it on accident or if someone complains about it and we check it out.

RE: Vatican Named in International Criminal Court Complaintposted in Religion & Philosophy
If the pope didn't know it was going on, then he must be extremely negligent in his duties of running his religion.
If he knew it was going on and did nothing to stop it, he's guilty.

RE: [UK] - Gay men can donate blood as health experts lift controversial banposted in LGBT News
So you can never get HIV from pussy? That's apparently what they are telling us with the "new" restrictions.
It's still anti gay, but a tiny bit less so now.

Like most of Europe, the UK gives some extremely weak punishments for crimes.

RE: What's your experience with .mkv files here on the tracker?posted in GayTorrent.ru Discussions
I've long advocated banning RM file since they are ALWAYS crap quality. Sadly, too many people complained so we still have that crap video format.
I don't care for WMV files because I don't think you get quality for the size of the file. The quality seems to be half that of an AVI of the same size.
We're starting to get HD porn, so I don't see why we shouldn't have MKV files for them. I only download MKV files for movies now, but only on titles I know are Blu-ray or HD. MKV does seem a bit of a waste for DVDs.
My rule of thumb for AVI porn is 1gb for every hour of video. 1.5 hour video is 1.5gb (ish) of AVI. That's for a DVD. Blu-ray and HD should be 1.5gb per hour of video.

RE: California Gay History: 'Stop SB48' Referendum Faces Uphill Battleposted in LGBT News
are telling would-be voters the new mandate would inappropriately expose young children to sex, infringe on parental rights and silence religion-based criticisms of homosexuality.
Conservatives can't win on the facts, so they always go for the scare tactics.

Thanks for this.
One problem though, it lists a bar that is only "friendly" as being gay.

RE: Warning, Facebook will tell everybody that you illegally download moviesposted in GayTorrent.ru Discussions
YES, it would depend on your country.
Most western countries can't prosecute you unless they have direct evidence that you committed a crime; illegal downloading in this case. Just being a member of a site isn't proof of anything. Also, there are members here who only download/upload stuff from the perfectly legal members' section.

RE: Gay Male College Students Using ‘Sugar Daddies' To Pay Off Loan Debtposted in LGBT News
This isn't anything really all that new.
Women have been renting their stuff to make money for college for ages.
When I was in college, I knew a guy (hetero) and a girl who tricked with men for cash.

Sadly, he is in the extreme minority.
Virtually every reggae artist tries to out do the others in how hate filled homophobic their albums/songs are.

RE: Is it possible to change bonus system?posted in GayTorrent.ru Discussions
I was about to suggest PMing the seeder and asking them to increase the speed but I think they changed the site and made all uploaders anonymous. That's too bad. If you sent me a PM asking nicely to increase the speed I would have no problem doing it.
We changed it because people were wrongly accusing us of giving the info to the studios/anti piracy groups. We're stuck in a perpetual catch 22. Damned if we do, damned if we don't. Can't win for losing.
Also, most times, people don't keep their upload after a certain amount of time. I no longer have any of the stuff I uploaded here prior to Jan 2011. This was either due to hdd crashes or making space for new stuff.
