Happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I'm italian so today I'll be rocking the italian food and chowing on a murderless tofurkey. Below is my family's recipe for ricotta cheese stuffing which is the best stuffing in the entire world!

I love COLDPLAY

COLDPLAY is my favorite band and last night I was lucky enough to see them in concert in Anaheim. In the middle of the show Chris Martin performed a solo on his piano (swoon) and he messed up which I didn't enough notice until he said "Aww Fuck!" The entire crowd burst into applause. Apparently, swearing is popular in Anaheim.

The incident reminded me of when someone starts to laugh during the sketches on SNL. When those moments happen the laughing or swearing performer appear to be so in the moment and that makes them more "human" and relatable.

Chris Martin taught me that we are all the same. We all laugh, cry and swear.

Have a Happy and safe Thanksgiving!

Here's my favorite song for the 4th year in a row:

Gay Adoption in Florida

CNN.COM has just reported that a Florida circuit judge declared it unconstitutional to prevent gays and lesbians from adopting children, saying "the blanket exclusion" of gay applicants "defeated Florida's goal of providing dependent children a permanent family."

Florida is the only state that specifically bans all "homosexual" people from adopting children, although it does allow them to be foster parents.

This month, Arkansas voters approved a ballot measure to prohibit unmarried partners -- same-sex or opposite-sex couples -- from adopting children or from serving as foster parents.

Obviously, I'm biased when it comes to this stuff but I think the main concern for everyone should be the children. Children need love and support to grow into upstanding citizens or... lesbian comedians and it shouldn't matter who parents as long as the children are cared for.

Happy Holidays Homo Style!

I just finished wrapping Christmas/Hanukkah presents for my friends, family and new in-laws when I sat down on the couch, surfed the internet and found the HRC (Human Rights Campaign) Shop for Equality Guide. Now I have to go out and reshop to make sure to support the organizations that support me and my community. Luckily I love to spend money so this won't be a problem.

"The Human Rights Campaign Foundation's Buying for Equality guide will help you easily support companies that support equality for LGBT Americans. This year hundreds of businesses have earned the right to call you a customer with the commitment they have made to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community." -HRC

Last week Wanda Sykes announced she is gay and married at an equality rally. If you haven't watched her speech check it out.


VIVA LA GAYS!

It's the end of the world as we know it...

*** WARNING The below link is to a very disturbing video on cnn.com.

This video shows 2 years olds beating each other up while their father eggs them on. There are crazy people in this world but once you have children you are no longer allowed to be crazy. You have to behave and set and example for your spawn.

I do not really HATE kids I just know that childcare is the most important job in the entire world and I don't take it lightly.

PROBLEM: If I had a kid it would be freakishly strong and freakishly flexible and who know how many 2-year olds it could beat up.


SOLUTION: No kids for Bridgey!

What the hell is wrong with Texas?

One of my dear myspace friends turned me on to the below video about Texas' sodomite and decency laws. But it's not only a Texas thing, 13 other states has/had sodomy laws too.

These dumb rules make me want to hop a plane to Texas and have anal sex in the Houston airport! And I would totally do it just to rebel but my little gentle faberge egg-like bottom won't allow it.

p.s. Did you notice in the first sentence I wrote "turned me on." :)

Where the HELL is my cell phone?

Right before bed last night I turned my cell phone off. I thought I was being smart by not wasting the phone's batteries while I slept. Of course today I couldn't find my phone anywhere and when I called it all I got was my own delightful message telling ME that I'M not available. When actually, Bridget on Bridget's voicemail doesn't know what she's talking about because I AM available, I just am unreachable.

Today was like a social experiment. It felt very strange to be out of touch from my family, coworkers and friends. Growing up my parents didn't have cell phones but now it seems you can't survive one day without one.

The World has been very quiet today without the constant cell phone ringing or texting buzzes. And that little bit of peace and quiet has made me look at everything in a whole new light. Did you know the sky is blue? Me neither!

Anyway, if you have been trying reach me I'm not blowing off I just have no idea where my damn phone is. I hope I didn't miss any awesome gigs or a call from Oprah. Oprah is not a person who is likely to call more than once when she wants something

p.s. I can't stop listening to Natasha Bedingfield's "Say It Again". It's been lodged in my brain FOREVER!

p.p.s. Maybe Natasha Bedingfield has my cell phone?


p.p.p.s. Why does this keep happening to me?

I could NEVER be JAMES BOND

This weekend I saw the new James Bond film, Quantum of Solace. I have no idea what that title means so if you do please enlighten me.

The action scenes got me so revved up that I ran to Blockbuster and rented the last 007 movie, Casino Royale. Both films are terrific and I still can't believe stunt people do what they do for a living.

While I watched Casino Royale I thought to myself, "I could never do that." What I should have thought was, "Duh! I COURSE I CAN'T DO THAT!" Besides that fact that I'm NOT a male secret agent, here is a list of 10 other reasons I could NEVER be James Bond, Agent 007.

1 I don't drink martinis. If I'm going to drink, which I rarely do, I'll have a glass of wine.

2 I have no threshold for pain. When I stub my toe I cry so I could never fall off a building and keep running after some badguy/badgirl. Although, I'd be more likely to run after the badgirl.

3 Speaking of running...yep...nope...I can't do that. I'd be out of breath in less then 4 minutes and I'd be sweaty. No thank you!

4 I'm a nester. I couldn't just "hook-up" with a bond girl and leave her high and dry even if she was a double agent. In the middle of my mission I'd probably beg M for a day off so I could take my lady to the Abbey.

5 Did I mention the whole running thing? Yep...nope...I'm still not doing that.

6 I HATE guns. If someone invents a gun that shoots rainbow unicorns then I'll consider getting one.

7 I can't drive a standard transmission. Do they make Aston Martins in automatic?

8 I couldn't kill anyone, not even for revenge. It's all too scary and I have enough trouble sleeping at night.

9 I need friends and family. Bond is a loner and he must be very sad on his birthday. Maybe if I give him a hug he'll reconsider killing on demand.

10 Bond's traditional tuxedos is classic but boring. I'd prefer to wear the bow tie with a strapless red gown.

Keith Olbermann is my HERO!

I'm a HUGE fan of MSNBC and I regularly watch the lovely Rachel Maddow and Keith Olbermann. They offer so much information and barrels of laughs (more Olbermann than Maddow)

But tonight the O'Reilly-hating Olbermann made me cry. His elequint words on Proposition 8 gives me hope for our future.

Please take 7 minutes and watch this video in entirerty:

I LOVE MELISSA ETHERIDGE!

Today Singer Melissa Etheridge posted a blog on the DAILY BEAST in response to the passage of Prop 8.

Her words made me well up and gave me strength for the fight ahead. I hope they do the same for you.

YOU CAN FORGET MY TAXES: by MELISSA ETHERIDGE

"Okay. So Prop 8 passed. Alright, I get it. 51% of you think that I am a second class citizen. Alright then. So my wife, uh I mean, roommate? Girlfriend? Special lady friend? You are gonna have to help me here because I am not sure what to call her now. Anyways, she and I are not allowed the same right under the state constitution as any other citizen. Okay, so I am taking that to mean I do not have to pay my state taxes because I am not a full citizen. I mean that would just be wrong, to make someone pay taxes and not give them the same rights, sounds sort of like that taxation without representation thing from the history books.
Okay, cool I don't mean to get too personal here but there is a lot I can do with the extra half a million dollars that I will be keeping instead of handing it over to the state of California. Oh, and I am sure Ellen will be a little excited to keep her bazillion bucks that she pays in taxes too. Wow, come to think of it, there are quite a few of us fortunate gay folks that will be having some extra cash this year. What recession? We're gay! I am sure there will be a little box on the tax forms now single, married, divorced, gay, check here if you are gay, yeah, that's not so bad. Of course all of the waiters and hairdressers and UPS workers and gym teachers and such, they won't have to pay their taxes either.
Gay people are born everyday. You will never legislate that away.
Oh and too bad California, I know you were looking forward to the revenue from all of those extra marriages. I guess you will have to find some other way to get out of the budget trouble you are in.
…Really?
When did it become okay to legislate morality? I try to envision someone reading that legislation "eliminates the right" and then clicking yes. What goes through their mind? Was it the frightening commercial where the little girl comes home and says, "Hi mom, we learned about gays in class today" and then the mother gets that awful worried look and the scary music plays? Do they not know anyone who is gay? If they do, can they look them in the face and say "I believe you do not deserve the same rights as me"? Do they think that their children will never encounter a gay person? Do they think they will never have to explain the 20% of us who are gay and living and working side by side with all the citizens of California?
I got news for them, someday your child is going to come home and ask you what a gay person is. Gay people are born everyday. You will never legislate that away.
I know when I grew up gay was a bad word. Homo, lezzie, faggot, dyke. Ignorance and fear ruled the day. There were so many "thems" back then. The blacks, the poor ... you know, "them". Then there was the immigrants. "Them.” Now the them is me.
I tell myself to take a breath, okay take another one, one of the thems made it to the top. Obama has been elected president. This crazy fearful insanity will end soon. This great state and this great country of ours will finally come to the understanding that there is no "them". We are one. We are united. What you do to someone else you do to yourself. That "judge not, lest ye yourself be judged" are truthful words and not Christian rhetoric.
Today the gay citizenry of this state will pick themselves up and dust themselves off and do what we have been doing for years. We will get back into it. We love this state, we love this country and we are not going to leave it. Even though we could be married in Mass. or Conn, Canada, Holland, Spain and a handful of other countries, this is our home. This is where we work and play and raise our families. We will not rest until we have the full rights of any other citizen. It is that simple, no fearful vote will ever stop us, that is not the American way. Come to think of it, I should get a federal tax break too..."

YES WE CAN!

Last night was a tremendous victory for Democrats, the American people and I believe for future of our World. Barack Obama is our President-Elect and won by a landslide.

So much happiness, yet last night I couldn't stop crying over the pending passage of Prop 8 to once again ban gay marriage in the state of California.

This news is devastating to my family as to many of you but I know this is a fight that we will win. It might not win it tomorrow but we will win it within our lifetime and I personally vow to keep fighting for progress.

Now here's the good news, this morning I was forwarded a link to the Washington Blade informing us that the fight back has already begun.

VIVA LA LESBIANISM!

"SF City Attorney to file legal challenge to Prop 8
Measure leads with 52 percent of vote
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) | Nov 5, 12:02 PM


The San Francisco City Attorney's office says he plans to challenge the validity of a ballot measure that would change the state constitution to ban gay marriage.

Spokesman Matt Dorsey says City Attorney Dennis Herrera will file the legal challenge in the California Supreme Court if the measure passes.

With 95% of precincts reporting, Proposition 8 is leading with 52% of the vote. But there are still as many as 3 million ballots left to be counted.

The first lesbian couple to be married in Los Angeles County after the Supreme Court threw out the gay marriage ban also plans to announce a lawsuit against Proposition 8. Attorney Gloria Allred says that lawsuit will argue that the measure is unconstitutional."

Dear Mormons who are Homophobic,

Dear Homophobes,

You have every right to believe whatever you like because this is America and I support your freedom of speech. But you aren't just exercising your First Amendment right, you are attempting to take rights away from other citizens, citizens that pay their taxes and abide by the laws. What makes you above the law in your attempts to change the Constitution for your own religious agenda?

A local news channel in Utah did a report on the commercial I shot against Proposition 8. I couldn't be more proud that somehow this ad has put the extremists on the defense and exposed them for what they are.

Sorry homophobes, gays have been around since the beginning of time and we're not going anywhere. We are here, we are queer and we are getting stronger everyday.

Bridget

p.s. I'm not slamming all Mormons but I am targeting those that are trying to discriminate against anyone for their gender, race and sexual orientation.

p.p.s. In this blog post, I really just wanted to write "FUCK YOU!" like 10,000 times but I didn't. Aren't you proud of me?

BRUNCH WITH SANDRA VALLS

This week on BRUNCH, Baby Bridget and I are in bed with Latin diva comedian Sandra "I can take off a woman's bra in under 3 seconds" Valls.

I attempt to interview Ms. Valls but she is too distracted with punching, tickling and removing my bra again and again. Damn I love her and you should too!

BRUNCH WITH SANDRA

My "No on Prop 8" Commercial

For those of you who know or don't already know, California's Prop 8 ELIMINATES RIGHT OF SAME-SEX COUPLES TO MARRY.

If it passes it will change California's Constitution to eliminate the right of same-sex couples to marry.

If you're a registered voter in the state of California PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE vote NO on Prop 8!

Check out the commercial I shot last week for NO on 8...and check out my blonde wife...MEOW!

p.s. The Mormon Church has giving over 20 Million dollars to pass Prop 8. Don't allow a church to take over our government.

p.s.s. FYI-If a mormon really came into my house and touched me or my wife I'd kick them in the nuts and piss on their skull. :)

GOD BLESS AMERICA!
