Linebacker Scott Fujita is an American whose names comes from his Japanese parents who adopted him and gave him their name. Today he will play for the New Orleans Saints in the Super Bowl. Only he and one other professional football player (Baltimore Ravens linebacker Brendan Ayanbadejo) have spoken out in support of gay marriage. (At Right: Saint's Linebacker, Scott Jujita)

"The Advocate" interviewed Scott and below is a one question and answer.

The Advocate: Do you worry about alienating fans for being so supportive of gay marriage?

Scott: I've found that every time I open my mouth about an issue that's unrelated to football, I alienate some people. But that's a risk I'm willing to take. Because for every piece of hate mail I've received for speaking out in support of gay marriage or for wanting to bring the troops home or for discussing the injustices of Japanese internment, there's a dozen people who either appreciate what I'm doing or who think about the issue in a different way.

I have never claimed to have all the answers, still haven't met someone who does. But I have some strong opinions about things, especially when it comes to issues of prejudice and inequality. I also recognize that the platform I've been given as a professional athlete will be taken from under me once I leave this game, at which point no one will care to ask my opinion. So in the meantime, why not stand for something?

Dear Doc: As a bottom, I like to make sure that my anus is thoroughly clean before receiving anal sex. My question is when to stop cleansing? I can spend up to 20 minutes and 30 flushings before the water that comes out and fills the toilet is clear. Is that the proper amount of time and the best way to judge? It just seems that I am cleaning out more than just the large intestine. Thanks. Dick

To Ron: I was an active Jehovah Witness but no more. Do you have Jehovah Witnesses on Apollo Network?

Whatever one thinks of or however one grades the US President's State of the Union Address on Wednesday night, credit goes to the man for his ballsy plain speaking about ending the military policy of Don't Ask; Don't Tell. (At Right: Israeli gay soldiers are allowed to march in the Jerusalem Gay Pride Parade.)

As soon as the words floated over their heads, a section of military officers wearing hundreds of metals and ribbons sat on their hands and made moues of disapproval. There was polite applause from congressmen who supported the end of the 17 year old ban of gay people willing to give up their lives for their country. How well has DADT worked? Since its birth, 12,600 US gay Military men and woman have been discharged from service.

When will DADT end? When will tens of thousands of USA gay people be allowed to serve in uniform? The president gives us hope, but with Washington bogged down in political scrapping, it could be another twenty years.

Honolulu: The Hawaii Senate approved same-sex civil unions Friday, potentially setting up the measure for final passage as soon as next week. (At Right: Gay Hawaii Flag.)

The Senate passed the bill on an 18-7 vote, moving it to the House and signaling that the Senate's Democratic majority has enough votes to override a possible veto from Republican Gov. Linda Lingle.

Sir Francis Bacon (22 January 1561 - 9 April 1626), philosopher, politician, and judge held the highest position in the land, next to the king, appointed by King James I, and he was gay. So was King James. Modern scientific thought owes and acknowledges its present methodology to Bacon as he paved the way in his writings. His writings are so profound and like in thought and wording to William Shakespeare's that it has long been rumored that Bacon,not Shakespeare, wrote the most famous plays in the world.

To Ron: What on earth was the radio evangelists thinking in saying that Haitian people brought the earthquake tragedy on themselves? Is this man insane? Has he no passion?

From Ron: The answers to your questions are 1- I have no idea; 2- Yes; 3- None. From the get go, starting with tribal medicine men, all leaders of organized religions have manufactured enemies to frighten believers into physical submission and financial sacrifice. The unspoken message of the radio wing nut was that people should not send their money to Halite but to send money to him instead. This so called "television ministry" has made tens of millions of dollar over the last 30 years using such hate tactics.

The only difference between P. R. and the Phelps guy who shows up at gay and military funeral with religious hate signs, is that one is far richer than the other. Both are totally lacking in basic Christian charity.

(Above: Satan (Lucifer) in classical paintings and statues was often portrayed naked, usually with an erection or a very, very long penis. Also, the ancients were treated to paintings based on religious beliefs that in hell the devil would constantly use his large phallus on both men and women. At some point the penis was changed to a long tail to avoid offense among those unfamiliar with the male anatomy, and being screwed for eternally in hell was dropped. In sum, the long, hard penis of sexual punishment turned into a long harmless and useless tail.)

The DC Superior Court upheld the decision of the DC Board of Elections and Ethics to reject a proposed ballot initiative that would have prohibited gay marriage in the District. (At Right: Sign at gay rights demonstration in Washington, DC.)

Consequently, gay marriage in Washington, DC, could be legal as early as March.

Once again a big mouth televangelist, whose hateful name will not be mentioned on this site, has stepped up to announce that his wrathful god sent a killing earthquake on the country of Haiti because "the Haitian people made a pack with Satan."

This is wrong on so many levels, that it is difficult to know where even to begin.
