LOVING, LEARNING, BUILDING BMX FLATLAND

Use "BMX Flatland Events" to search the Internet & you'll discover a worldwide network of events & websites, some featuring video highlights from past "bicycle jams". BMX flatland is art - like poetry, ballet, figure skating & break-dancing. It inspires a special passion among those devoted to it. I discovered it accidentally. Other interviews & slow-motion "tutorial" highlights will follow.

Flatland BMX: America's Undiscovered Sport

I stumbled upon a group of young men involved in a new sport in NYC while visiting Union Square. I'd gone to Union Square to support Critical Mass and vloggers who opposed NYC's new requirements for "permits" and "insurance" for people shooting video. I thought the "story" of Flatland BMX was quite interesting. Enjoy the show and the explanations.

TransMasculine Community Network`shows 'biological women' an alternative.

Anyone "assigned 'female' at birth" who feels that categorization is in error is welcome to join the TransMasculine Community Network, www.tmcnetwork.com . This unique video examines one of the newest groups to appear on the gender-variant scene. Join me in watching this group of handsome young males join NYC's Gay Pride Parade for the first time.

GAY RUSSIANS MARCH FREELY IN NYC GAY PRIDE PARADE 6/24/07

A newly formed group of Russian-Americans joined NYC's annual Gay Pride Parade, June 24,2007. Their counterparts in Russia have faced physical attacks from skinheads, ostracism and opposition from the Russian Orthodox Church & non-recognition of their right to assemble by Russian Governmental officials. Hopefully, this small group of free LGBT Americans will keep hope for progress alive in Russia.

PATRIOTIC TRANSGENDER FASHION -" TRANSAMERICA STYLE"

Trans woman model & Transgender Fashion Artist, Julia Murray, shows us how patriotism & anti-war sentiments can be mixed during holidays like July 4th through clothing, even cothing with a militaristic sensibility, through the clever use of accessories. Glasses, patches & buttons can change the "mood" of one's clothing from "sober" to "playful & celebratory".

Transgender Fashion Artists meet Radical Homosexual Agenda

Life is about having fun & being free. This amusing video is a "triple cocktail" (great buzz w/o hangover) about art, politics, and fashion. Beautiful women, young handsome men & persons of unknown age & gender frolic in colorful foil and clothing smashing the bi-polar prison of male/female gender.

PERUVIAN FLOAT BUBBLES WITH PRIDE & BEAUTY & CULTURE

The Peruvian community in NYC was excited about finally being able to have a float in the NYC Gay Pride Parade. Colorful native costumes, beautiful women & dashing dancers celebrated their culture. Their happiness & good spirits were contagious...

TRANSEXUAL WOMAN TURNS UP THE HEAT

Lourdes Hunter, a transexual African-American woman from Brooklyn, fiercely attacked NYC conditions which cause prostitution, inadequate health care, sexual abuse in youth shelters and discrimination in women's shelters.

Transgender Fashion:The Revolution Begins!

Everyone is a victim of the bi-polar "prison" of gender. Nales, choose from the "trinity of ugliness" --blue, brown and/or black--in the "shade" you desire! Women, pick your favorite shade of pink & the painfully-restrictive clothing that makes 'you' acceptable. Well, "Transgender Fashion"( www.transgenderfashion.com)--not yet existing- lets you be the-person-you-are & 'beautiful' in whatever manner/fashion/color/style "YOU" choose to be! Yes, this is a fun video. But, we really intend to start something really unique here! My roomie lost her purse at Target. Why shouldn't women's dresses have pockets like male clothing does? Why can't men be fashionable like Randy Wicker is in this video? Oh, everyone joling the campaign to make this world "GENDER FREE" !!!!

TRANS WORLD: TOO HOT TO STOP !

Transexuals & gender idenity have captured the public imagination. "Transgeneration" (the series) & "TransAmerica" (the movie) have opened up public discussion about what it is to be male and/or female or somewhere in between. Gender identity is separate from sexual orientation. 25% of transexuals are attracted to members of the opposite biological sex before changing their gender identity. For them, changing gender means going from being a heterosexual biological woman to being a biological gay man--or from being a heterosexual biological male to being a lesbian, as can be seen in my previous vlogs: "Transgender Same Sex Marriage" and "Why Women Chase Trans Men". Now, trans people are organizing to become equal citizens of modern day society. This tells the story of their struggle......

Using "child rape" and underage prostitution to make money is not new. However, here we have a slimy fellow using (abusing?) his right to free speech in an effort to legally blackmail Pfizer or someone else to pay him off. This creep isn't worth your time or mine. However, after watching Michael Moore's "SICKO", I wonder where all our moral compasses got lost. His story is certainly worth hearing and sharing. Imagine, getting a $40,000 seven-month job by holding up outrageopus signs at 34th St. & 7th Ave in NYC! Can you really blame him for trying again? It would have been one big laugh if he hadn't slandered India and my friends who live/came from there!
