Media At Launch Of ‘WTF’ Seem To Miss The Point.
facebook.com
Well, there has seemingly been only one story so far in the media about the launch of the ‘WTF’ campaign, to end gay youth suicide, but not straight teens. This campaign is not about ending discrimination, it is about raising money for Rainbow Youth and Outline services. They should at least be honest about this from the start than do some ‘KONY2012′ ‘clickactivism’ con that donating to these groups will end discrimination in NZ.
There is talk about discrimination, but the examples are we cannot marry, (marriage is not a right), Doctors don’t understand your want to transition, (get a better doctor), and gay teens are far more likely to top themselves that straight teens. There is also no word on how we end discrimination, or why we are meant to be nice to the GLT people. Well, they are being raised in a ‘straight’ world, and are now having ‘heteronormative’ behaviour forced on them as the accepted norm for gay people. We are not like you. campaigns may try to push we are not different but we are. because everyday the world tells us we are different and it is hard to ignore……
So lets be honest. This campaign is about making money for underfunded services for gay youth. It is not aimed at gay youth, or actually gay people at all. If it was, this would have worked better for honesty……
Straight people who are getting very angry with me for daring to question their huge help for the pathetic homos keep asking what I would have done. Well, I would have got John Waters to make it, and just point out the truth….
REVEL – The Night Comedy Great Janey Godley Finally Met Comedy Great Billy Connolly.

The Night Billy Connolly came to see me do comedy
I never thought I would ever write those words down in a blog but here I am. Let me take you back a bit, when I was growing up in Glasgow in the 70s and my dad let me hear an LP vinyl recording of Glasgow comic Billy Connolly- I have been hooked and love the man ever since. His story telling style hooked me and made me really interested in comedy.
When I went into comedy at the age of 35, the first press reaction was “Janey Godley is like discovering an early Billy Connolly” I was touched but a tad embarrassed in case the great man ever read that and was annoyed, as if he ever read about me? What a dick I am.
Anyway I have followed his career and been totally in love with his style and always regarded him as the best comic I have ever known. So I land in Wellington New Zealand for the Comedy festival to learn that the Big Man is in town and was staying in the same hotel as me and Ashley.
READ THE REST HERE.
I adore this story from Janey. I also find it strange two such funny fucks, both from Scotland had never meet before. I suppose I thought Scotland was like the gay community and they all knew each other. Anyhoo, janey hits Auckland now at the Comedy Festival so go and see her. She is the bees knees in honest, funny as a fit comedy. True class.

IT IS NOTHING.
“I was really surprised,” she admitted on On Air With Ryan Seacrest. “I didn’t know anything about it. I wasn’t happy about it.”
“I understand it’s punk rock and everything, but to me there was such a feeling of love and good energy and positivity,” continued Madonna, who ended her performance with a lit-up message touting world peace. “It seemed negative.”
“It’s such a teenager, irrelevant thing to do,” the “Gimme All Your Luvin’” singer added. ”There was such a feeling of love and unity there. What was the point? It was just out of place.”
BLAH BLAH. SHUT UP MADGE, WHO GIVES A FUCK ABOUT SUPER BOWL ONCE IT IS OVER? JUST MOVE ON.
