BlueWorks - Boycott
A song about violence and the vicious circles it produces. A song about the chronicles of “useless crimes”.
I have used this video which was broadcasted by Associated Press about the beating of a gay man in New York. It’s the Jack Price case back in October 2009.
I thought that it suited perfectly in this occasion… You can watch the original Associated Press video here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYCSFE…
I have also used some really usefull results about LGBT Bullying Statistics. You can watch them all here:http://www.zimbio.com/LGBT+Pride/arti… &http://queersunited.blogspot.com/2008… -
- In response to all the bullying of all people and gay bashing and slander of past and present, this song is an empowerment tool for you.
- lyrics:
- It’s time to speak out boldly
stand up for our beliefs
Bullies are taking over
not just LGBT
can’t believe what I’m reading
Now it’s all on TV
Nobody’s saying nothing
But you know that feeling
I was so scared to even walk around you
Loved to talk shit with all your friends all around you
Had to eat lunch by myself
But now I stick up for myself
Paybacks a bitch
Now watch me switch it up
Enough is enough
They called us
Butch
Stems
Faggots &
Fems
They called us
Trade
Queens
Sissies &
Freaks
I find it hard to believe
with our technology
we can’t start educating
young people questioning
they love school but they hate it
and they can’t say a thing
folks don’t what they’re facing
Same thing happened to me
I was so scared to even walk around you
Loved to talk shit with all your friends all around you
Had to eat lunch by myself
But now I stick up for myself
Paybacks a bitch
Now watch me switch it up
Enough is enough
They called us
Butch
Stems
Faggots &
Fems
They called us
Trade
Queens
Sissies &
Freaks
Stand up for yourself
You’ve got support now
don’t let them beat you down
stand up for yourself
time to fight back now
if you don’t know I”ll show u how
at school
at church
at work
at home
you’re not alone
stand up
you’re not in this fight alone
I was so scared to even walk around you
Loved to talk shit with all your friends all around you
I remember it like yesterday
calling me out my name
embarrassing me everyday
Payback’s a bitch
Now watch me switch it up
We’ve had enough
They called us
Butch
Stems
Faggots &
Fems
They called us
Trade
Queens
Sissies &
Freaks they said
Stand up for yourself
You’ve got support now
don’t let them beat you down
stand up for yourself
time to fight back now
if you don’t know I”ll show u how

Justin Bieber gay bashed… Punches alleged bully
Justin Biber with buddy and business partner, Usher
By Anne Lu
AHN Entertainment Contributor
Vancouver, BC, United States (AHN) – Justin Bieber was reportedly thrown out from a laser tag center after a 12-year-old boy alleged he was hit by the tween heartthrob. However, a report claims that Bieber was actually the victim of a homophobic taunt.CBC News reports that the unnamed boy complained that Bieber punched him while they are playing laser tag with more than a dozen other kids in Richmond, B.C.
The owner of the center said Bieber was kicked out of the facility after the complaint.
Cpl. Sherrdean Turley of the Richmond Royal Canadian Mounted Police told E! News, “What I can say is that we received a complaint Friday evening of a 12-year-old boy that was assaulted at a local entertainment facility. The boy’s father reported it to police and we are currently investigating.”
According to TMZ sources, the police already know that Bieber wasn’t the instigator in the incident. There wasn’t any incident of assault as well.
Apparently, the alleged victim followed and targeted Bieber during the game. When the singer got frustrated, he told him to stop. But the kid responded, “What are you gonna do about it, f*****?”
The kid allegedly repeated his homophobic taunt and put his hand toward Bieber. The singer pushed the hand away as he left.
Law enforcement told the website that the boy’s father was the one who filed the complaint hours later. He allegedly repeatedly told people that he’s a lawyer at the scene.
Bieber, meanwhile, will be going public to lend his support to the anti-bullying campaign within next week. Sources said that although his camp wanted to keep the details of the confrontation private, the 16-year-old singer felt it was important for people to know what happened.

Facebook and GLAAD Team Up to Stop Anti-Gay Bullies
Fresh off a screening of The Social Network, I am on a Facebook high. I am shamefully addicted to the ‘book, or FB as I like to call it, and it pains me how much time I spend procrastinating on the website. But I feel a bit better about it now that it has become clear that the company is (at least attempting to be) a friend of the gays.Facebook is joining ranks with the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) to combat anti-gay epithets that have made their way onto the site. They created the partnership after GLAAD asked for Facebook’s help in removing a page dedicated to the victims of anti-gay bullying who have committed suicide.
Say what? That had me a bit confused, too. You see, the RIP dedication page soon turned into a war of words, with hate speech about the gay and lesbian community dominating the “discussion.” If you have ever attempted to talk to someone pummeling hate speech your way, you’ll know that it is not much of a discussion. It is an attack. Facebook has reportedly developed new software that will allow filters to quickly track language that is deemed hateful or threatening to the gay community.
“Educating people about the lasting and damaging impacts of ignorant and hateful comments is a responsibility shared by parents, educators, organizations like GLAAD, and services like Facebook,” Facebook Spokesman Andrew Noyes said in a statement. “We take our Statement of Rights and Responsibilities very seriously.”

Tainted Love
On September 28, the City Council of Norman, Oklahoma, a conservative city made a bold decision in favor of an unpopular proclamation recognizing October as GLBT History Month. The 7 to 1 vote came after three hours of anti-gay rhetoric from community members opposed to the proclamation.
The victory was followed one week later by the suicide of Zach Harrington, 19, who attended the council session to support the proclamation.
“When he was sitting there, I’m sure he was internalizing everything,” said Nikki Harrington, Zach Harrington’s older sister. “I’m sure he took it personally.”
Harrington, a talented musician, graduated Norman North High School in 2009. He was subjected to constant harassment after he came out as gay. “He feared for his safety,” stated his father Van Harrington. According to his father, Zach requested to leave high school early in his senior year and finished his diploma in a separate program.
Van Harrington stated that his son experienced a hard reality at the council session as he witnessed the same sentiments that tormented him in high school being shouted and applauded by adults.
“Equality Forum mourns Zach Harrington,” stated Malcolm Lazin, Executive Director of Equality Forum, which coordinates GLBT History Month. “Zach reminds us why we need GLBT History Month to build self-esteem and buttress youth against the tsunami of homophobia in our schools and society.”
In 2006, Equality Forum, a national GLBT civil rights organization undertook coordinating GLBT History Month (www.gltbHistoryMonth.com). Each of the 31 days in October, a gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender Icon is featured online with a video, biography, bibliography, downloadable images and other educational resources. In its fifth year, there are 155 Icons archived on the free site.
“The GLBT community is the only community worldwide that is not taught its history at home, public school or religious institution.” stated Lazin. “Without this information, it is no wonder that homophobia has such a devastating impact on gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender youth.”
“Zach like other teen suicides reminds us why youth need role models, history and the civil rights message of our important national and international contributions.” said Lazin.
