Good Bye 2008...

Hi dear friends, today is the last day of the year 2008, which has been at least one year with many ups and downs for me, I have a recount of some things that have happened.

This year, apart from one of the worst news was that was won the YES of Prop 8 in California, producing and one of the largest discrimination against the LGBT community in recent times and a right already obtained wrest us as was to be married to the person we love, for the simple and absurd whim of leaders homophobic hate ignorant among their followers.

Apart from that, this year has been good for lesbian visibility, we have seen in the media as at present more lesbian presence in other years and this fills me with pride because I know that although we each step cost. ... we are moving towards equality, and this presence that we now have an impact on society generally positive (though of course there are always exceptions) now you are saying to the world "heyyy we are exist, we are here and we have the same rights that you are lesbian, and we are wonderful".

The best moments left with the news and we saw this year and do not forget

The best series of lesbians remains excellent, and I think it will always be our beloved The L Word, and in 2008 made us live is one of the largest lesbian, in Season 5, filled us with joy by many returned one of the most famous couples in the world and endearing lesbian TIBETTE, I know that many can not forget that magical moment that we live in chapter 5x04 "LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED" in 46 minutes 49 seconds with the background music of Alice Smith and her "Dream" ..... Bette when Tina takes the arm and kiss ... by end of stress after 4 seasons, finally had a hope to see them back together and happy.

And so it was to the delight of all followers of the series, we were able to see again this year some of the best sex scenes TIBETTE.

The series was disappointed that we have been without doubt Grey's Anatomy, at the beginning, we thought we could see a love story in one of the most-watched television series, but when we were captivated Drs. Callie Torres and Erica Hanh and her newly discovered new attraction between them, when they finally had their feelings cleared and Dr. Erica Hahn had accepted her homosexuality shouting from the rooftops: I'm Gay .. I'm so gay, homophobic producers of ABC to cancel the character of the series and dismissed the actress Brooke Smith behind it.

Leaving us submerge in a deep indignation and remove a couple who had already won the lesbian community, because one way or another we had seen in a completely heterosexual. But despite everything has left us an unforgettable moment for all time:

In regard to series in Spanish, the most impressive and gave us more visibility this year, was the partner of Pepa and Silvia in the TV series Paco's Men (Los Hombres de Paco) (until that time hearing entirely heterosexual) peak in Spain.

In a series of police between bullets and rude men, there is a love story between a divorced coroner, Silvia and a lesbian police officer, Pepa.

This story has stolen the hearts of many inhabitants of our communitie, not only in Spain but in the rest of the world who do not speak Spanish, for its freshness, its naturalness, for being so entertaining and fun for their players and so sexy beautiful, and will positively reflect a lesbian relationship in a society full of prejudice and highly maleness as the police force.

Our big moment of PEPSI:

To finish the series, we can also highlight the efforts of a lesbian relationship in House No. 13 with a model in the "Lucky Thirteen"

Also in Bones we had kissing between girls, Angela y Roxie .

On national television in USA and in the popular soap opera All My Children saw Bianca (Eden Riegel) return to Pine Valley after a long absence, and brought her girlfriend played by Reese (Tamara Braun), we also have a newborn lesbian is the complete package, and one of the few success stories of lesbians on TV yet issued. For now none has been killed or dismissed.

Also this year saw the end of the love story of our beloved Ashley and Spencer from South of Nowhere.

Turning to Movies one of the best lesbian-themed films that total has come to cinemas this year has undoubtedly been I Can´t Thing Straight, the love story of a Jordanian woman Tala (Lisa Ray) to be married and Leyla knows interpreted by my adored Sheetal Sheth, who is the girlfriend of her best friend, and then begin to fall in love, a sense of duty and cultural boundaries is the Tala away, but the time will united again.

We can not miss this movie .... soon we will see loved people.

Among other films that have gone through the festivals in Cannes to receive high praise, it is remarkable for a French film director Céline Sciamma called 'Naissance des Pieuvres or as it is called "Water Lilies", a film about sexual awakening of three teenagers about 15 years, swimmers synchronized swimming in this environment are the 3 teens physically, emotionally and socially and we can see the confusion and distress of their players to cope with a love affair between two of the girls.

This year we were also highly visible thanks to the sport, many inhabitants of our planet have participated in the Beijing Olympics over a dozen female athletes competed in the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China, and took away several medals. Here the post.



Among the musical surprises of the year we launch the first album the group of Uh Huh Her made up for our beloved Leisha Hailey and Camila Gray, the band has very good music and has been well received by our community.

Among the outputs of the closet more catch out was the comedian Wanda Sykes, not for the fact that we know who is gay (and married) is something that is not what suspect surprising if their departure, in a demonstration for the rights of the gay community in Las Vegas last November before thousands of spectators and the press said: "I am proud to be a woman. I'm proud of being a black woman and I am proud to be gay."

Other outputs from the closet is also the most subtle come from Lindsay Lohan, who finally after all this history is having admitted that a romantic relationship with DJ Samantha Ronson, and what pleased me most is the positive impact that relationship is said that she is giving her life and that after a long time is really happy.

Among the most famous lesbian couples this year has left its mark and has held thousands of covers and our beloved media Ellen Degeneres, with its super-publicized Wedding of the Year.


Among the best news of the year in Spain we have the approval of the law that allows our babies have birth from two mothers, we finally included in a law of rights for the design, we can give at your partner your egg to be fertilized and implanted in her womb the baby to have both.

I leave you a song that I leave this year that has passed ... I hope you like He is Ivan Guevara "Por Amor al arte" (For the love of art)

Well this is a quick summary that leaves us in 2008 and that despite all the negative that could happen to it, both personally and LGTB community level, this year we can be more visible to the world, and I hope that Next year will be much better.

On the aims for next year every one of you will have theirs out of the closet, find the woman of her life, stop smoking, etc., all we ask is that with all my heart whatever the purpose for this new year, which is the main thing to be happy and assured them that this is not a cliche phrase, and I mean this utopian happiness and generic with that dream.

If not that happiness is within our reach, we can get it for ourselves if we suggest that, despite everything that can happen, whether we are alone, if we do not find love if we finished a significant relationship, if we go into the closet, but if we are outside our families do not want to see us more if we feel the weight of discrimination, if we are locked in a life that we do not want, if we are battered, homophobia if we ever hit, if not we like the world around us or their ignorance.

I ask you to always look for ways to be happy, to feel well, smile, have hope, the purpose of this new year is to try and be happy to fight with all our might to achieve this. Do not ever stop smiling, do not let us remove all the smiles, or that anyone has the power to hurt.

That is my intend for this year. :)

I hope .... feel it and I believe that the world equal to that dream, is not far away.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL THIS 2009 AND WE NEED TO BRING HAPPINESS IN OUR LIVES.

New Inhabitant.... Who out the closet?

Hey guys, then I have a story, but it is a very strong rumor because it has not yet been able to clear as to who it is.

Lesbian say that a very famous and that is within the closet, is thinking of kicking the door and exit.

This person is an actress, with many jobs in their curriculum, and now a root of her impending divorce, is planning to come out and declare openly gay.

The story is as follows, sometimes the actresses lesbians marry someone of the opposite sex who are seeing the benefits as it increases her credibility as heterosexual and have many more chances in the roles they offer.

But the failed on plan is that if the relationship does not last, the former has an advantage over total is an actress. This is the case with this star of television whose fake marriage just ended.

The lawyer is now the star of her client to get a divorce, fast and discreet to prevent her former, I spoke or asked to keep a good check your mouth shut.

However, this actress in question is worth considering whether to pay or get out of the closet once.

According to the investigations of the means exist 2 possible candidates to be the stars of this rumor and let me tell you that my Gayradar and so many others had sounded much for the two.

One is the actress Kate Walsh, best known as Dr. Addison Montgomery of "Grey's Anatomy" and now onlyo with the series "Private Practice," which is now divorced from her husband Alex Young.


The other is actress Marg Helgenberger, CSI Catherine Willows in CSI: Las Vegas, which is also separating from her husband.

between two, the bets more highest has Kate with a 97% of the votes.

And you think of who it is, Kate or Marg?

No Prop 8 ... "The Musical"

Hey guys, you story has been in a Hollywood musical in favor of gay marriage in California.

Many Hollywood stars have joined together to perform "Prop 8. The Musical," which is a musical against homophobic and absurd Proposal 8.

Marc Shaiman the renowned producer of musicals like Hairspray, (and gay activist) has teamed up with Adam Shenkman (the director of Hairspray the movie) to create a music video in protest against Prop. 8, participating in the video as many famous stars, the comedian Jack Black makes Jesus Christ, Neil Patrick Harris, Allison Janney, John C Reilly, Jenifer Lewis, Margaret Cho, Kathy Najimy and many more.

The video (available on the website Funny or Die) presents us with a group of players who represent the conservatives and progressives, and another group of supporters and opponents of Proposition 8, they face in a discussion of songs which stands for Jesus stop the fight, played by Black.

The conservative group, headed by actor John C Reilly, is helped from the Bible to deny marriage between persons of the same sex. At that time Jesus appears and says: "The Bible says many things, it also says you can sell your daughter for a sheep" jejeje ...

In the end, the conservative group appears to cede a little to the argument that the celebration of gay weddings could bring many economic benefits to the City Council.

This is an original and fun protest that shows that despite everything, the LGBT community and the people who are tolerant and believes in a world of equality, can deal with the injustices with a sense of humor.

Well girls here have left the video .... I hope you enjoy.

Women's Event 11...

Hi friends and readers of LesPlanet, as we commented in a post earlier this weekend has been held fund-raising annual Women's Event 11 at Chelsea Piers, which this year has honored Ilene Chaiken, writer, creator and producer Executive Series L Word (as all we know ...), Stephanie Gibbons, executive vice president of Marketing and On-Air Promotions, FX, and finally to Lisa Sherman, executive vice president and general manager of Logo.

Also attended a couple of Rossi Kelli O'Donnell, the spokesman for the city of New York Christine Quinn, and hetero allies such as MTV, and CEO Judy McGrath ...

During the dinner, there was a live auction of spot for the promotion of L Word with Pam Grier, Daniela Sea Rose Rollins and there to go climbing tenders ... and a lot of speeches.

When Jennifer Beals presented to Ilene, she made an emotional and brilliant speech on gay rights and as expected the day of tomorrow will reach a point where you can ask her daughter "is that there was a time when the gay people are not allowed to be married? "(was moved almost to tears when he said this sentence ....), and received a dream ovation from the audience.

At the awards ceremony, Ilene talking about when she thought that would have ended other L Word on TV shows where they would normally see a cop lesbian, lesbian comedy of mess ... and now realized that it was more difficult lesbian visibility on television when it started L Word, and that was really depressing ...

Next week, more specifically on 09 November will be held in Los Angeles on POWER UP's Annual continue to raise funds for the cause ...

Vote NO on Prop 8

Hi girls, today we are going to discuss the proposition 8 that despite the fact that many of us who do not live in USA affects us in an indirect way, as it is a struggle for the rights of our community, this proposition is quite insulting and certainly goes against the rights of many gays and lesbians .

The purpose of Proposition 8 is to redefine the constitution of California to eliminate the basic human rights of same-sex couples. They deny responsibility, dignity and respect as a married couple enjoys being part of a marriage.

The campaign "Vote No on Prop 8" inciting to address this initiative and to vote NO on Proposition 8 this November 4.

The constitution of the United States also protects the rights of all human beings living in USA. Proposition 8 is against this fundamental rule, and distinguishes only a group of gay and lesbian people-to unequal treatment under the law of the United States.

As religious freedom or freedom of expression, the right to marry is a fundamental right in our society. Marriage allows couples to legalize their commitment and allows them to take responsibility on each other.

It is important that this proposal does not succeed to protect the right of marriage. It is important to protect the equality, freedom and justice for all.

Many celebrities have donated money to the campaign of NO at this proposition, among them that this Brad Pitt donate to 100.00 dollars to the cause.

the actor said in a statement: "Because no one has the right to deny another their life, even though they disagree with it, because everyone has the right to live the life they so desire if it doesn't harm another and because discrimination has no place in America, my vote will be for equality and against Proposition 8, I will marry, the day that all those who want to marry legally in the country are capable of that."

Another of them is Steven Spielberg, who along with his wife, Kate Capshaw, others have donated 100.00 dollars in support of the cause.

Spielberg and Capshaw denounced the initiative: "By writing discrimination into our state constitution, Proposition 8 seeks to eliminate the right of each and every citizen in our state to marry regardless of sexual orientation. Such discrimination has NO place in California's constitution, or any other."

T.R. Knight has donated 50,000 U.S. dollars, the same amount as that Pete Wentz said: "There are a lot of causes out there -- a lot of 'good' fights to be fought. I think Proposition 8 is pretty lame -- as many others do too. It's (expletive) lame."

Betty DeGeneres, mother of the famous Ellen DeGeneres, who recently married her partner Portia de Rossi, just join the fight against the Proposition 8.

Betty said: "Every mother or father should know that their children have the possibility of marriage. And every mother should have the opportunity to be part of the wedding of his daughter. With your help, we can make it happen."

More and more voices being raised against Proposition 8 that aims to eliminate gay marriage in the referendum to be held in California on November 4, the money raised is being used in sensitizing people about the equality of homosexuals and the marriage between them.

For companies like Google, or Levi's, and directors and actors such as Brad Pitt, Ellen Degeneres and Steven Spielberg have been a powerful united voice. The New York Times, one of the largest newspapers in the United States, said to be against Proposition 8 through an editorial.

It seems that those who are in favor of the proposal 8 have raised about 25 billion dollars and broadcast ads are lies which have about homosexuality as attacking the church and saying that children are going to give a subject of homosexuality in schools (if this is unbelievable ... and lying to donate money to support hatred and discrimination towards the gay community).

Here you can see the video where a voice-over belies all the lies that are spreading about the consequences of legalizing gay marriage. Among the scenarios that are mentioned include the future inclusion of gay studies in schools, or changing the tax laws relating to the churches.


Numerous announcements have been issued against this proposal 8, with the collaboration of many famous and anonymous people, according to the surveys these ads have beaten strong against the previous but need more time on television since it seems that the SI will take advantage.

In one of them (so you can see below) Two women are seeing photographs of a wedding, one of the photographs displayed a lesbian couple at the wedding. and other supports that do not know how to feel about the subject, to which the first replied: "Nothing happens if you do not know how you feel, but do you want to remove rights and have laws that treat people differently?" . To which the answer is obviously "No".


In an interview with Ellen Degeneres on the "Tonight Show" talking about this Prop 8, you put the video of it.

Since LesPlanet you give our full support NO to this proposal and all people who are against Proposition 8 and entitled to vote in the U.S. go to the polls on 04 November and that its voice is heard loud. The result will be that all of California gays and lesbians can marry the person they love and have the same rights as anyone else of a different religion, color or sexuality.

Lindsay Lohan's novel...

Hi girls, it seems that Lindsay Lohan leaves no one to get into another, or rather to the goal in another, because between her alleged girlfriend and her father these days have somewhat angry.

Now this is a story of these "she said and he said and then she said… and then he replied" that both overwhelming and it makes clear the poor relations of the family Lohan, who apparently say things through of the media.

It appears that Samantha Ronson, mentioned at some point-or it is rumoured-her intention to write a book to explain "everything" and I say that is "Everything", her relationship with Lindsay?, Lindsay's relationship with other girls , a few days ago as did her ex-friend Courtenay Semel would have to read this book to leave questions ... Obviously, Lindsay's father, Michael Lohan, Samantha assumed that sought to publish the details of the life of her daughter, so it stated: "“Samantha drinks and passes the drinks under the table to Lindsay, and behind the scenes it gets worse and worse,” says Lohan. “Sam is using my daughter. My daughter isn’t working because she’s always with Sam. Even my ex-wife knows it. She just isn’t doing anything about it. She are using my daughter, nobody knew who was Samantha Ronson until she met Lindsay" This is not entirely untrue ... the father has its share of reason.

But it is clear that Samantha had to say theirs, so it has published on its MySpace blog a note that attacked Michael Lohan also said: "I do not feel the need to publicly defend my role in the life of Lindsay. My only regret is that I prefer my more than him. "


The exact note of Samanta is this:

SHUT THE F*** UP
Current mood: intimidated

"i really don't want to say anything because i feel like he wins- he, being the man who is so desperate for attention that he goes to the media whenever possible- i know i am being used, i am just a pawn- easy to sacrifice in order to feed his addiction. I was angry when i first read his attack on me, but- for me- i believe that actions speak louder than words... so now i just pity him- i am not standing in his way- i am not the reason that he has no contact with his daughter- he is- his need to throw a tantrum for the whole world to hear is- i am not going to go into a play by play defense- i feel no need to publicly defend my role in lindsay's life- i'm just sorry that she likes me more than him.
p.s. i'm not the one that is so lost that i need to use my relationship with lindsay to earn a living.... i am, always will and always have been here for her for her- not for anything else....so I think it's safe to say that there is not now and never will be a tell all..... written by me..... when does your book come out mr. lohan?"
Then Lindsay made other statements in which he spoke about her father: "He's out of control. I want to stop talking to the media and harming the people I love. "

But Lindsay also has a MySpace account, and has used it to show his regret over the betrayal of her father strike again and defending Samantha: "Samantha has not sold and I will not ever".

This is the note of Lindsay on MySpace:

DRUG FREE
Current mood: betrayed
Category: Life
"If you have something to say to me, say it to my face- that's what i have believed my whole life- don't be a coward and say it to others first, let alone all the media in the world- i think we know where the rest of this blog is going…

If you guessed it had to do with my father- then you guessed right! It really hurts, because i have tried- after all that my mother and siblings have gone through, i really tried to make things work- For the hope of having a father again-wanting things to change- even though people have said, some people will forever remain the same.

Having said that- the people were right, and he is yet to change- but this time, without his daughter by his side- He has become a public embaressment and a bully- To my family, my co-workers, my friends, and a girl that means the world to me (its obvious who that is).

He has no idea what is going on in my life because i have chosen not to involve him in it- His recent attack on my life and my loved ones is simply for an ADDICTION THAT HE HAS- FAME. Why he feels the need to comment on anything in my life that i may want to keep private, is beyond comprehension- If he really cared about me and my life, then he would learn to respect my wishes by staying out of it.

Samantha has not and would never sell me out. Nor has my mother, who is wonderful.

This further proves that any information that my father has about me or the people in my life is internet based- and about as accurate as a page six item.I'm not going to engage any further, though i probably could go on…

I have said enough, i have a therapist, and it is not the the camera man at x17."

Well girls and we see that this is burning, as end? Hopefully stop this girl live in peace with his partner and life in general, for that is trying to straighten her life ...

Lesbian Resort....

Hello girls, their story that the company Olivia, (the hosts cruise lesbian) has announced that it will create Olivia Communities, a resort comprising 334 houses in Tucson, Arizona, as well as what they read is a luxury residential lesbian.

Of course, Olivia does not discriminate against anyone not necessarily have to be lesbian or woman to live there (where everyone wants to live) but the company has created this project and has focused primarily towards the lesbian community.

In this Resort not only will the residents that their apartments if not also enjoy: a nightclub, a gym, two heated swimming pools, a playground for dogs, a fitness center and a hint of volleyball.

But, if everything you think little will also be with someone responsible for coordinating activities to entertain at all times to the residents.


The owners, will have access to all events at the site, especially for them.

Imagine listening to one of their favorite artists live while enjoying a drink near the pool or see the film premiere of new film festivals.

Well, you know people, if they're thinking of buying a house or having a place to relax here is a great option (I want one of those houses ...).

New homosexual "on line" TV channel ...


Hi dear people of LesPlanet apparently another European country joins the race for gay liberation becoming a reality television project as an exclusively gay.

MORE... of Jennifer Beals


Hi dear inhabitants of our colorful planet, I am counting that Jennifer Beals our beloved, charming, and beautiful Bette in The L Word (not always put more qualifiers as soil, because I promised my girlfriend that this time would the news without drooling and I go by the branches).

Well as I said our Jenny has perched and gave a short interview for the magazine in its number Moro July and August,

Here are leaving the article with the interview and photos it did to Jenny (now if I assure you are drooling more than one ..... I already did).

Jennifer Beals at 44, the L Word star talks about Flashdance, fame, and her plans for the years ahead.


Jennifer Beals doesn't go for halfway measures. When she turned 40, she says, "I wanted to be doing something I really loved. I didn't want to be driving by some stupid ad for makeup and be seduced into thinking I should look younger." She gives a giant roll of the eyes. "So you know what I decided? I went to Patagonia. On my 40th birthday, I was riding a horse galloping at full speed across the pampas and laughing my ass off."

Beals, now 44, has always been into controlling her destiny, even before she won the role that made her famous.

The Chicago native, daughter of an Irish-American mother and an African-American father, scored a small part in My Bodyguard in 1980 and had been modeling when she auditioned for Flashdance, about a sexy steel welder with ballet-academy dreams. But when she saw the full script, she didn't want to do the nude scenes, and she was about to start her freshman year at Yale, so she turned down a screen test. "The director, Adrian Lyne, called and told me how tastefully everything would be done," Beals says. "And I said to him, 'I'm sorry, but I don't know you. I don't know how tastefully you're going to do everything.'" Lyne agreed to use a body double, and Beals deferred her fall semester.

A huge hit when it was released 25 years ago, Flashdance landed in America's pop culture pantheon not so much for its rather standard Cinderella story line as for the fashion frenzy it inspired. Oh, those leg warmers, that ripped gray sweatshirt! "I thought everyone knew that trick," Beals says of the scene where she wiggles out of her bra without taking her sweatshirt off. "I did it all the time when I was a kid."

The attention that followed was intense: Beals's sudden stardom, critical carping about the film, the revelation that much of her dancing was done by an uncredited double. So she retreated to Yale (nice fallback), graduating in 1987 with a degree in American studies.

Her own life includes her husband, Canadian entrepreneur Ken Dixon, and their 2-year-old daughter. "She is so stinking cute. I don't think it was an accident that my daughter arrived after I was 40," Beals says. "I used to be a real hermit; at one point my husband and I lived on a 500-acre ranch -- just us, the dogs, the stars, and an old mare that I'd ride into the forest. I was in heaven! But your kid has to be a part of the world, and now I'm out all the time, listening to what's going on."

Midlife agrees with Beals, who has already identified running a marathon by the time she hits 50 as a goal. "I think it takes a lifetime to know your authentic self," she says. "I love that. There are many more lessons to learn. Like, I've got to learn to play the piano and how to blow-dry my hair." She flashes a wide, knowing smile. "I'm only half joking."
