Faith Evans live

Faith evans is wasting no time getting the paper for Uncle Sam. It was reported a few weeks back the the R&B diva is in deep doo-doo with the tax man.

She hasn’t been seen much in the past years and that makes these performance that much more special. Hopefully we will be seeing a lot more of Faith in the coming months as she is said to have completed work on an album that is slated to be released on her own label.

Basketball Wives premieres on VH-1

Since the Real housewives of Atlanta is on hiatus, I had to find an interim replacement.

Basketball wives is just what the Dr. ordered. This show is juicy and messy (just the way I like them).

Even in death, gays in Africa get no love or respect.

I have heard some disturbing stories in my day but this has to be one of the most…

By now most of us know that Africa is no amongst the most GLBT friendly places in world but even this is a new low for Africa.

Read the story below to find out what local villagers did to a gay man after his passing.

Even death cannot stop the violence against gays in this corner of the world any more. Madieye Diallo’s body had only been in the ground for a few hours when the mob descended on the weedy cemetery with shovels. They yanked out the corpse, spit on its torso, dragged it away and dumped it in front of the home of his elderly parents.

The scene of May 2, 2009 was filmed on a cell phone and the video sold at the market. It passed from phone to phone, sowing panic among gay men who say they now feel like hunted animals. “I locked myself inside my room and didn’t come out for days,” says a 31-year-old gay friend of Diallo’s who is ill with HIV. “I’m afraid of what will happen to me after I die. Will my parents be able to bury me?”

A wave of intense homophobia is washing across Africa, where homosexuality is already illegal in at least 37 countries. In the last year alone, gay men have been arrested in Kenya, Malawi, Sierra Leone and Nigeria. In Uganda, lawmakers are considering a bill that would sentence homosexuals to life in prison and include capital punishment for ‘repeat offenders.’ And in South Africa, the only country that recognizes gay rights, gangs have carried out so-called “corrective” rapes on lesbians.

“Across many parts of Africa, we’ve seen a rise in homophobic violence,” says London-based gay-rights activist Peter Tatchell, whose organization tracks abuse against gays and lesbians in Africa. “It’s been steadily building for the last 10 years but has got markedly worse in the last year.” To the long list of abuse meted out to suspected homosexuals in Africa, Senegal has added a new form of degradation — the desecration of their bodies.

In the past two years, at least four men suspected of being gay have been exhumed by angry mobs in cemeteries in Senegal. The violence is especially shocking because Senegal, unlike other countries in the region, is considered a model of tolerance.

“It’s jarring to see this happen in Senegal,” says Ryan Thoreson, a fellow at the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission who has been researching the rise of homophobia here. “When something like this happens in an established democracy, it’s alarming.”
