HALLOWEEN

Hey everyone hope your all getting excited for Halloween!

It's always been one of my favorite holidays. As a little kid you get as much candy as you can carry and as a college student you can still get a lot of sugar if you know how to play the night...

So here are a few tips (if you missed them from this weeks show) to guarantee a spooky and sexy Halloween

1. Dress the Part--- Pick a costume thats going to show you off. Guy's if you've been hitting the gym recently dress up as a caveman or body builder or something to show off those guns, or if you've just grown your first mustache be Ron Burgundy. Girls it goes without saying if your trying to get guys attention, LESS IS MORE. Obviously don't go out naked but show a little skin, the more promiscuous you dress the more likely it is for a guy to approach you.

2. Be a little aggressive--- Everyone is out to have a good time so put yourself out there a little bit. Maybe go and introduce yourself to someone you normally wouldn't have the confidence to normally. Maybe you've always had a crush on that really cute girl in your spanish class, well nows your chance. Think about it even if she turns you down you're in a costume and can totally pretend it wasn't you the next day.

3. Try a little role play?--- Come on everyone... If you're already in a costume why not try it. If you have a long time parter or brand new friend mess around a little. Its a fun way to spice things up in the bedroom and do all the things you always thought about and could never pull off. Join the mile high club with a super cute flight attendant or maybe have that plumber take care of that problem you have...

4. Have fun--- Halloween is basically just about having fun so go out with your friends be safe and make some memories good or regrettable. AND YES!! Remember everyone this is one of the few times a year where you can actually say dude or girlfriend (whatever the girl equivalent to dude is) I had no idea thats what he looked like!!! He was in costume. So lower your standards a little??? Just kidding but have a good time!

Hope everyone has a great Halloween and please watch our show next week same time same channel.

National Coming Out Week

Yesterday (Saturday, October 11th) was National Coming Out day, so I thought I would share some fun gay history and facts.

The rainbow flag that we all associate with gays started to have significance with the LGBT community in 1978. The colors are used to represent diversity within the community, and is normally flown with red on top. Red signifies life, orange is healing, yellow is sunlight, green is nature, blue is harmony and purple is spirit.

Purple is another gay community symbol, with a very different meaning. Normally seen as a pink upside down triangle, this was a symbol used to identify homosexual men in Nazi concentration camps. The Holocaust was not just about jews, but many gays were deported as well. An upside down black triangle was used specifically for women who were lesbians, or not the ideal image of a woman. Many times these two are combined to form the color purple and purple triangles.

There are references of homo eroticism dating back to 12,000 BC! The first gay couple was thought to be Khumhotep and Niankhknum in Egypt during the 25th century BC, with the first Lesbian being from Lesbos in the 6th century BC. Looking at the current debate of gay marriage, the first recorded and legal gay marriages were performed in the 1st century BC. One marriage was even gave one man the same honors as Julius Caesar's wife. In fact, it is believed that Caesar himself was involved in a gay love affair!

Some other quick facts:

It was not until the 1920's that the term gay was actually used to refer to homosexuals.

In 1973, the APA removed homosexuality from its list of mental disorders.

Did you know... in many countries in Africa and the middle East, homosexuality is illegal which is punishable by large penalties, life in prison, and sometimes even the death penalty.

Here on Michigan's campus, there are very open and liberal gay and straight communities.
