Are you kidding me??? David Tyree for discrimination


This has to fall under the heading "are you kidding me???"

Giants 2007 Super Bowl hero David Tyree said he'd trade "The Catch" and the team's championship to keep marriage between one man and one woman.

"The catch was a gift, it's not like I'd try to do it. I couldn't do it again so that was a miracle," he said. "There's nothing worth more than [maintaining heterosexual marriage] right here for me."

Asked if he'd give up the Super Bowl to stop gay marriage, Tyree said: "Honestly, I probably would."

He said last week gay marriage would lead to anarchy. Today, he said, the morality of a country is defined by its law.

Ironically, this comes almost 44 years after laws against interracial marriage were struck down.  SRSLY.

Blake Shelton - anti-gay tweet


Blake Shelton is getting a lot of heat today for what might have been "drunk-tweeting" or something.

Lots of web activity around this.  What on earth would make him tweet this out of the blue?

And what will the producers at The Voice do?  Not a great move for the early stages of The Voice.

And btw - why do all straight men ASSUME they have a "behind" worth touching?

UPDATE: Blake Shelton apologizes for tweeting anti-gay message


After further correspondence, he eventually tweeted this message in opposition of anti-LGBT violence:

"Miss New Mexico doesn't believe in GLBT rights"


Apparently, Miss New Mexico isn't all that "enchanted" with the New Mexico LGBT community.

According to Jesse Lopez, president of Albuquerque Pride, the current Miss New Mexico, Madison Tabet, agreed to perform at the upcoming "Outstanding Awards" show to be held on March 11th.

But this past week a rep from the statewide Miss New Mexico offices called with bad news. "The conversation, like I said, was pretty heartbreaking when she said Miss New Mexico doesn't believe in GLBT rights. So it was an emotional day for me yesterday," said Lopez.

When a reporter from KOB Eyewitness News 4 called the Miss New Mexico offices for confirmation, Carol Henry, the statewide Executive Director of Miss New Mexico, said that was a personal question she wasn't willing to answer.

Mr. Lopez showed KOB Eyewitness News 4 documented proof that Tabet had agreed to the appearance through Facebook, email and phone call discussions.

The story at this point seems to be that Ms. Tabet has another appearance scheduled for that night.

Ms. Tabet, unfortunately, was not a finalist during her national pageant.  Nor was she voted Miss Congeniality or honored with a Quality of Life Award at her national pageant.

Miss New Mexico 2009 Nicole Miner, who placed in the top 7 at her national pageant, will take part in the Outstanding Awards show.
