New Pastel Painting: "Tie the Knot"

It almost feels like a cosmic alignment. My latest piece celebrates a sexy beginning to Summer as well as a playful twist on gay marriage, and it turned out that the first full week of Summer saw the Supreme Court grant federal recognition of same-sex marriages by overturning DOMA while their action on Prop 8 resumed same-sex marriages in California. Happy Summer!  The original as well as limited edition Gallery and Studio prints are available for immediate purchase at BREYETTE.COM.

Footnote: So those who have asked about a self portrait ...those are both me. So as not to have the figures look like twins I made additional alterations to the figure in turquoise.

on the drawing board: something sweet

After two full frontals in a row and a good majority of the works I've done so far this year featuring mostly naked men, I found myself in the mood for something a little sweet.  Cake anyone?

CA Keeps Existing Same-Sex Marriages, Will Civilization Crumble?

When the California Supreme court ruled on Tuesday to uphold Propostion 8 banning same-sex marriages, they also ruled that the 18,000 gay and lesbian unions that took place while it was legal will remain valid.

So apparently these same-sex marriages have been deemed harmless to the State and the institution of marriage, prevent no threat to opposite sex marriages and will not bring about the collapse of Chrisianity and all of civilization.  

By keeping valid these existing marriages, the court has clearly illustrated that Prop 8 is purely an act of sexual discrimination.  Perhaps this will actually be fuel for overturning this heinous ammendment.

Proponents of Prop 8 made public

Despite efforts by Supporters of Proposition 8 to seek a preliminary injunction to hide the identities of those who contributed to their campaign. A California judge ruled that campaign disclosure laws are needed to protect public interests.

If you want to know who and how much money was donated to pass Prop 8 you can check it out here:

Say NO to Hate, Vote NO on 8, Time to Donate

A recent poll shows the California ballot question to ban same-sex marriage, Proposition 8, is now favored by a majority. Until recently the bill looked to be headed for defeat but many hate groups like Focus on the Family, member of the Mormon Church and the Knights of Columbus are funding the campaign to strip some Americans of their rights, and the tide is turning.

In an effort to defeat these anti-American groups that support discrimination, segregation, prejudism and bigotry generous donors Tom Bombardier and John Fowler, along with the Human Rights Campaign, will double every online contribution made TODAY, up to $120,000 to fund the effort to keep marriage in California fair and equal to EVERYONE regardless of sex, race, or religion.

3 Down 47 To Go

Today the Connecticut Supreme Court ruled that same-sex couples have the right to marry. Even though the state already allows same-sex civil unions, the court ruled that they did not go far enough.

The 4-3 ruling will make Connecticut the third state, behind Massachusetts and California, to allow same-sex marriages, decisions that in all cases were made by the highest state court. The decision marks the first time that a court rejected civil unions as an alternative to granting gay couples the right to marry.

Same-Sex Marriage Equality Down Under Gets Held Up

Australian opposition leader Kevin Rudd [the nelly looking queen pictured] will never consider same-sex marriage, but he will remove all other forms of discrimination if elected, he has stated.

"My position – the party’s position – is it is between a man and a woman," Rudd said when asked if he would ever consider gay marriage.

"All other forms of same-sex discrimination should be removed. When it comes to these forms of discrimination we've just got to get past it"

I wonder if politicians ever listen to themselves speak. Do they realize the stupidity that comes out of their own mouths. In the above sentence he admits same-sex marriage is a form of discrimination. Then says, 'we've just got to get past' the other forms of discrimination. WTF! Why can't he "just get past" marriage discrimination? Why don't politicians just say it without all the doublespeak, "I am against it because I'm a bigot". There isn't a single legitimate reason to deny gay couples the right to marry. Not one.

Australian Marriage Equality spokesman Peter Furness said, "Politicians will eventually have to follow public opinion. The majority of Australians support equal marriage rights."

Poll Results & New Poll

A couple weeks ago the poll asked "in which of these places have you had sex?" I was a little suprised by the results. I wonder if your parents know what's going on under their roof while they are out? And 32% said you've done it in a car in heavy traffic!? Hmm... wonder if they have a breathalizer test for that? Here are the results.

1. At parents or relatives house when they were home (54%)
2. In a public park or alley (52%)
3. In a public restroom (47%)
4. On a beach during the day (41%)
5. At my workplace (41%)
6. In a car in heavy traffic (32%)
7. On camera (23%)
8. In a bar or club (not the restroom) (19%)
9. At my gym (15%)
10. In a taxi, subway train or bus (10%)
11. On a plane (8%)

Now that I'm back from vacation and the 'poll' feature seems to be working again...this weeks poll asks "When do you think same-sex marriage or civil unions will be recognized across the U.S.?" Now 10 years ago I wouldn't have thought that even one state would recognize same sex marriages, but one does and a handful more have some sort of civil union legislation in place. On the other hand, dozens of states have passed 'bigot laws' defining marriage as between a man and a woman, very similar to previous laws that forbid marriage between couples of different races. Also the sociopathic moron in the White House has stacked the supreme court with pre-Renaissance thinking judges that have more compassion for corporations than people. That balance might not shift back to progressive thinkers for quite some time.

The poll is in the side bar.

Justice & Equality Triumphs in Massachusetts

BOSTON - Massachusetts lawmakers blocked a proposed constitutional amendment Thursday that would have let voters decide whether to ban gay marriage in the only state that allows it.

"In Massachusetts today, the freedom to marry is secure," said a victorious Gov. Deval Patrick, who had lobbied lawmakers up until the final hours Thursday to kill the measure.

Bigots like Former Gov. Mitt "Hypocrit" Romney, who pushed for the amendment, were justly handed defeat in their anti-American attempt to usurp the founding principals of the U.S., freedom and liberty. Even in a democracy the populous should not decide the rights of others. That's why we have a representative democracy, to ensure that the rights of ALL not just the majority are protected. The defeat of this bill is a victory for all minorities who's rights should not be denied because they might not have the votes in a general election. Legislatures pass numerous laws without putting it on a ballot, that's their job.


As tax-paying Americans we should not be denied the rights granted to others because we are (born) gay or a minority.


Good job Boston!
