my youtube channel & video blogging

So, I thought I should probably share my youtube channel and video blogging with you all.  This channel is not specifically focused on the same issues this blog is, but its still me, and Im still putting myself out there.  So yes, the first thing you may notice is that I am shirtless - and that will be a likely theme in the youtube videos.

I am single and ready to mingle, if Match.com cant find me a man then perhaps a shirtless youtube channel can ;) - I have no shame in my game.  Its a gay channel about my gay life and my gay opinions, so its gotta have some beefcake and besides sex sells.  Maybe people will watch my videos solely to see a shirtless guy talk.  I am not insinuating that I am attractive - beauty is in the eye(s) of the beholder.  I know that.

Anyway, in this video I discuss the difficulty of meeting good people in Atlanta, the cons of gay dating via Match.com and the woes of looking for a job with a Masters degree from a Tier One school in this shitty economy.  Enjoy:

economic effects of discrimination

Charlotte businesswoman discusses the impact of anti-gay attitudes on regional and state economies, particularly that of North Carolina regarding Amendment 1 - which will strip away the few existing rights that unmarried couples currently have in an effort to hurt gay citizens.  Unfortunately, this law will affect health insurance for unmarried couples in domestic partnerships for employment spouse benefits as well as unmarried partners who are separated due to domestic violence with restraining orders.  To ignore all relationships which are not marriages will undermine the protections for thousands of couples who do not want to participate in the failed institution... that is in addition to discriminating against gay folks, and resulting in young gay talent leaving Charlotte, North Carolina.



Fortunately, in Georgia we have this thing called Atlanta, but to be honest, we still miss a lot of economic opportunities which go to big cities in socially liberal economies.  Atlanta is a pretty gay city, but its considered the best the South has to offer gays, and were talking about the South, so the bar is set pretty low.
