Darren Hayes comes clean about love Posted Wednesday, July 19 2006 Very rarely has he made comment about his personal life but former Savage Garden frontman, Darren Hayes, has broken his silence about love and recording of his next album. In a message posted to fans on the singer's official website, Hayes says: "On June 19th 2006 I married my boyfriend of two years, Richard, in a Civil Partnership ceremony in London." "I can honestly say it was the happiest day of my life," Hayes continues. "I feel lucky to live in an era where my relationship can be considered legally legitimate and I commend the UK Government for embracing this very basic Civil Liberty. "I'm proud of who I am, and after what felt like an eternity, I'm finally in a place where my heart is secure and content. And I can finally make sense of all of the searching. "I still maintain the belief that families and relationships are not commodities to be sold off for public consu...

Janet Celebrates 20 Years of 'Control'

So this weekend is Gay Pride here in our Nation’s Capital.   Big freakin’ deal!   What the hell does that mean anyway?   Am I proud of the fact that I’m Gay?   I guess I would say I’m proud that, for the most part, I don’t hide the fact that I’m gay……but to say I’m proud to be Gay?   Hmmmmm….. To me, there is no question in my mind I was born this way.   No question at all!!   C’mon people…who in their right mind would actually choose to live a life that many people consider against God and unnatural and thusly are subjected to constant ridicule, and condemnation, and are not afforded the same legal rights as everyone else??   I have yet to meet someone who wants to volunteer to be in that role! That being said, since being Gay was never a choice that I made, I rather liken it to being a certain nationality…Italian, German, Irish, etc.   People don’t choose their nationality either.   So you have all these people who are proud Italians or proud Germans, right?   They are...

Over the years, I have seen all the games played....sometimes as a player, but mostly as an observer. At first, and for years, it was just something I observed and was disgusted by....glad that I wasn't a part of it all. Gradually, I think I started to avoid having any kind of social relationships just so that I could avoid playing that game. The assumption being more and more that everyone seems to be a part of this big "game". Given that assumption, why bother ever talking to or continuing a friendship with anyone? Granted, that assumption is completely unfounded and irrational. I do realize that......but somehow, I've allowed myself to drift further and further apart from people who are close to me. My mind is a little jumbled right now, so I'll continue with this later. Just wanted to get this down as I was feeling it.

BLUES are motivated by INTIMACY, seek opportunities to genuinely connect with others, and need to be appreciated. They do everything with quality and are devoted and loyal friends and employers/employees. Whatever or whomever they commit to are their sole (and soul) focus. They love to serve and will give freely of themselves in order to nurture others lives. BLUES, however, do need to be understood. They have distinct preferences and occasionally the somewhat controlling (but always fair) personality of a confident leader. Their code of ethics is remarkably strong and they expect others to live honest, committed lives as well. They enjoy sharing meaningful moments in conversation as well as remembering special life events (i.e., birthdays and anniversaries). BLUES are dependable, thoughtful, nurturing, and can also be self-righteous, a bit worry-prone, and emotionally intense. They are like sainted pit-bulls who never let go of something once they are committed. When you deal with a B...
