Fighting Homophobia or The Shining with a Gay Twist - Hot, New Halloween T-Shirt Designs

By -
Whether you're making a statement against homophobia, or you're a Jack Nicholson / Steven King fan looking for a t-shirt with a "gay twist", look no further than BMP T-Shirts.  Created by New Jersey residents Diane & Kathy, these designs are just in time for showing the world who we are, while providing incredibly unique designs perfect for this holiday season!

Spooky Gay T-Shirt - We're Waiting For You Unisex T-Shirt
This design was 2 years in the making. We felt strongly about depicting homophobia as the “horror” it is for gay people when taken to the extreme. The idea came from the murder of Matthew Shepard in October 1998 as a result of homophobia. We struggled with this due to the sensitive nature of that event and we did not want to be disrespectful to the Shepard family or their organization. We scrapped it several times but would reconsider it once in awhile.

In spite of all the hard-won victories, homophobia still exists. Three black headstones placed in the background are a reference to Harvey Milk, Matthew Shepard, and Tyler Clementi, who suffered the same fate but for different reasons.

Since homophobia is a feeling and not a person, we didn’t want it to “Rest In Peace”. We replaced "RIP" with "DIE" and used 19XX as the indefinable “birth” date.

The tag line of “We are waiting for you…” is with the eerie hope that one day homophobia will be taken to its final death.

Queer Life in Germany - Learn German from a German Teacher and Native Speaker

In the news recently were a series of articles about how an increasing number of Americans are traveling to Germany for their education, as German universities offer free education to both their citizens and foreign students alike.  That's just the cherry on top when it comes to LGBT visitors to Germany, who have been coming year after year to enjoy all that Germany has to offer the LGBT traveler.  With Germany's progressive acceptance of gay & lesbian life, ranging from its varied nightlife in Berlin to its same-sex domestic partnership laws, it's no wonder it ranks as one of the top European destinations gays & lesbians travel to year after year (source: Community Marketing & Insights, 20th LGBT Tourism & Hospitality Survey) . While someone speaking English in Germany can get by in most places, having at least a foundation in basic German will open up a whole host of life experiences and opportunities simply not available to those not understanding
