We at MySpace already engage that war :
We want a total equality in rights for LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Transexual, ...), and that for any country in the world (China, Iran, Egypt, Japan, Austalia, Argentina, but also Russia, Poland, Italy, United Kingdom, France, and United States).
We are the only minority that don't have such rights !
We are speaking about laws, and if things have changed a little since the first struggle of gays in Christopher Street at New York almost 40 years ago, and huge manifestations of Lesbians and Gays first in democracy countries (so called !),
There's still text that condamned LGBT : just say mariage and adoption, or sexual majority,
cause they are so many others, and the situation his different between countries.
As blacks that must end : this war is to win ! And we will win this war, as we are seek about all false reasons advanced to explain why such discrimination must stay : YOU CANNOT HAVE KIDS !
People that say that, know how silly they are, but they will prefer to die then accepting the truth.
The truth is, like blacks, womans, so called colored peoples,
they are afraid to see something witch is new for them, they are afraid to live everyday with people that are different in their ways ...
THAT MUST END !!!
Course we know, as blacks and womans that law is not enough, but again WE MUST HAVE THE SAME RIGHTS !
So, we will fight for this, giving examples, and first being openly what we are :
WE ARE PROUD TO BE LESBIAN, GAY, TRANSEXUAL, we are proud to live with the one we love, ... openly,
we are proud to share wonderfull moments of life, and we shout it :
WE ENJOY OUR LIVING !
That's the major reason we accepted to be in this group, our flag is the rainbow flag, the most beautiful flag in the world.
We LGBT are welknown and famous all around the world as artists, scientists, teatchers, peace fighters, ...
And we want it to be recognize, we want that our comrads should stand on their knees and stop to hide themselves !
We already had hundreds of examples of stupidity in a so called friend space like MySpace :
First, they didn't want us to put that we were gays on top of our pages,
so we fight, repeat to put it on our pages day after days, denounce it into declarations,
and the worse (how strange !), was for US Sexy Guys members.
But we won !
Then they blocked non porn pics, refuses us to play gay songs.
We fought many, many, many times, AND WE WON.
We have hundreds of examples of bulletins blocked,
of the fact we were everyday spied as any members of MySpace.
But we were discriminated cause we struggled against those criminal practices,
THEY MUST END !
So we were blocked, couldn't do anything on our pages, even open it !!!
For months, can you imagine that !
Again, by strategy and certainly because we are wealthy,
and because of the huge support of MySpace members we won !
We can use our pages, but we are still block for a lot of things, posting a simple gay video clip, having sudden buffers when playing gay songs, requests that doesn't arrive to us or are blocked, bulletins blocked (you can't see them).
That's the kind of practices, we not only denounce, ...
We are ready to suite to end those practices.
To end this simple text,
we are here to struggle, to help all those who suffer,
TO GAIN DIGNITY !
We also are international, so we don't accept any kind of discrimination against womans, blacks, yellows (sorry it's not for doing joke, it's to use silly words employed that thos we denounce), and all other minority that suffer...
Our battles had already began, and we won each of them, now we say :
WE ENGAGE THE FINAL BATTLE FOR EQUALITY !
Sure we wont succeed immediatly, we don't have little brains,
sure we can't win alone,
sure they exist those so wonderfull LGBT associations that fight all around the world !
We a here to put our flag, the rainbow one !!!
WE ATE PROUD TO BE LGBT, PROUD TO BE GAY,
And we ask all MySpace members to help us in this war, LGBT or straights,
cause we know that the huge majority agree with us.
You already helped us so many that MySpace surrendered each time.
MySpace practices is just an example of criminal practices we face everyday,
but IT MUST NOT EXIST.
Come on, do it again, repost this manifest, sustain us and all gay singers, bands, artists that you enjoy to listen or watch !
WE HAVE A WAR TO WIN!
Thank you everyone, we know in your way you will join our struggle, and we thank you in advance,

FIERS D'ETRE GAYS ! NOUS AVONS UNE GUERRE A GAGNER ...
Nous, dans MySpace, avons deja engage cette guerre :
Nous voulons une egalite totale en droit pour les LGBT (Lesbiennes, Gays, Bisexuels, Transexuels, ...), et ceci dans n'importe quel pays dans le monde (Chine, Iran, Egypte, Japon, Australlie, Argentine, mais aussi Russie, Pologne, Italie, Royaume Uni, France et Etats Unis).
Nous sommes la seule minorite qui ne possede pas ces droits !
Nous parlons de droits, et si les choses ont un peu change depuis la premiere revolte et bataille des gays dans Christopher Street a New York, environ 40 ans auparavant, et les premieres immenses manifestations de Lesbiennes et de Gays dans les pays democratiques (se disant !),
Il y a toujours des textes qui condamnent les LGBT : parlons juste de marriage, d'adoption, de majorite sexuelle, car il y en a telllement d'autres, et la situation est differente selon les pays.
Comme pour les noirs, ceci doit s'arreter :
Cette guerre est a gagner !
Et nous gagnerons cette guerre car nous ne supportons plus toutes les fausses raisons avancees pour expliquer pourquoi de telles discriminations doivent etre maintenues :
NOUS NE POUVONS PAS AVOIR D'ENFANTS !
Les personnes qui le disent savent combien elles sont stupides, mais elles prefereront mourir que d'accepter la verite.
La verite est que comme les noirs, les femmes, les soi-disant personnes de couleur, elles sont effrayees de voir quelque chose de nouveau pour elles, effrayees de devoir vivre avec des personnes differentes d'elles dans leur genre ...
CELA DOIT S'ARRETER !
Bien sur, nous savons comme les noirs et les femmes que la loi n'est pas suffisante,
mais a nouveau :
NOUS DEVONS AVOIR LES MEMES DROITS !
Et nous allons nous battre pour les obtenir, donnant des exemples, et d'abord etant ouvertement ce que nous sommes :
NOUS SOMMES FIERS D'ETRE LESBIENNE, GAY, TRANSEXUEL,
Nous sommes fiers de vivre avec celui (celle) que nous aimons, ..., ouvertement,
nous sommes fiers de partager ces merveilleux moments de vie,
et nous le hurlons :
NOUS SOMMES REMPLIS DE JOIE DANS NOTRE MANIERE DE VIVRE !
C'est la raison principale qui fait que nous avons accepte d'etre dans ce groupe,
notre drapeau est le drapeau arc en ciel, le plus beau drapeau du monde.
Nous LGBT, sommes fameux, tout autour de la planete, comme artistes, scientifiques, enseignants, combattants pour la paix, ...
Et nous voulons que ceci soit reconnu, nous voulons que nos camarades puissent se tenir droit sur leurs jambes et cessent de se cacher !
Nous avons deja des centaines d'exemples de stupidite dans un soi-disant espace d'amite comme MySpace :
En premier, ils n'admettaient pas que nous mettions que nous sommes gays en haut de nos pages, alors nous nous sommes battus, repetant de le rajouter jour apres jour, denoncant ceci dans des declarations, et le pire (comme c'est etrange !), etait pour les membres americains de Sexy Guys.
Mais nous avons gagne !
Puis ils boquerent des photos sans caractere pornographique, nous empecherent de jouer des chansons gays.
Nous nous sommes battus plusieurs, plusieurs, plusieurs fois,
ET NOUS AVONS GAGNES.
Nous avons des centaines d'exemples de bulletins bloques, du fait que nous etions espionnes tous les jours, comme tous les membres de MySpace.
Mais nous avons ete discrimines, parceque nous nous sommes battus contre ces pratiques criminelles,
ELLES DOIVENT CESSER !
Alors nous avons ete bloques, nous ne pouvions plus rien faire dans nos pages, meme pas les ouvrir !!!
Pendant des mois, pouvez vous l'imaginer !
A nouveau, par strategie, et certainement parceque nous sommes doues,
et grace a l'immense soutien des membres de MySpace,
NOUS AVONS GAGNE !
Nous pouvons utiliser nos pages, mais nous sommes toujours bloques pour plein de choses :
poster de simples clips videos gays, ayant soudainement du buffer en jouant des chansons gays,
des requetes qui ne nous arrivent pas ou sont bloquees, bulletins bloques (vous ne pouvez pas les voir !).
C'est le genre de pratiques que nous ne faisons pas que denoncer ...
Nous sommes prets a mener des actions en justice pour mettre fin a de telles actes.
Pou arreter ce simple texte, nous sommes ici pour nous battre, pour aider ceux qui souffrent,
POUR GAGNER LA DIGNITE !
Nous sommes aussi international, c'est pourquoi nous n'acceptons aucune sorte de discrimination
envers les femmes, les noirs, les jaunes (desole, ceci n'est pas pour faire une blague, c'est pour denoncer les mots stupides employes par ceux que nous denoncons),
et toutes les autres minorites qui souffrent ...
Nos batailles ont deja commence, et nous les avons toutes remportees,
aujourd'hui, nous disons :
NOUS ENGAGEONS LA BATAILLE FINALE POUR L'EGALITE !
Bien sur, nous ne gagnerons pas immediatement, nous n'avons pas de petites cervelles,
certainement, nous ne pouvons pas gagner seuls,
bien sur elles existent ces merveilleuses associations LGBT qui se battent dans le monde entier !
Nous sommes ici pour planter notre drapeau, le drapeau arc en ciel !!!
NOUS SOMMES FIERS D'ETRE LGBT, FIERS D'ETRE GAYS,
et nous demandons a tous les membres de MySpace de nous aider dans cette guerre, LGBT ou heteros,
car nous savons que l'immense majorite est d'accord avec nous.
Vous nous avez deja aide tellement nombreux, que MySpace a du rendre les armes a chaque fois.
Les pratiques de MySpace sont juste un exemple des pratiques criminelles auxquelles nous devons faire face tous les jours,
mais ceci NE DOIT PAS EXISTER.
Allons, reprenez ce manifeste, et soutenez nous, ainsi que tous les chanteurs gays, groupes, artistes que vous appreciez tant d'ecouter ou de regarder !
NOUS AVONS UNE GUERRE A GAGNER !
Merci a chacun, nous savons que tous a votre maniere, vous allez rejoindre notre bataille, et nous vous remercions par avance, vous etes merveilleux !

Ruppert Murdoch untouchable, why ? Ruppert Murcoch intouchable, pourquoi ?
To some he is little less than the devil incarnate, to others, the most progressive mover-and-shaker in the media business. Whatever the case, as head of a global broadcasting empire worth £30bn, Rupert Murdoch continues to provoke strong emotions.
No-one who saw Melvyn Bragg's dramatic interview with Dennis Potter in 1994 will ever forget it. Potter, who was terminally ill with cancer, yet had lost none of his waspish wit, mused on his life, his work...and his illness.
"I call my cancer Rupert," he told Bragg. "Because that man Murdoch is the one who, if I had the time (I've got too much writing to do)... I would shoot the bugger if I could.
"There is no one person more responsible for the pollution of what was already a fairly polluted press."
Young Rupert with father, Sir Keith
The focus of Potter's hatred - Rupert Murdoch - is now 71, with a new baby daughter by a new wife.
He is as ambitious as ever, still planning to expand his business, News Corporation (News Corp), and intent on establishing his children as worthy successors to their old man.
From Page Three through the Simpsons and BSkyB to Twentieth Century Fox and digital television, Murdoch has created a personal media empire before which even Citizen Kane would tremble.
But, his many detractors would say, Murdoch's success has resulted in the dumbing-down of the media, with quality entertainment and journalism replaced by mindless vulgarity.
'Wheeler-dealer'
Beyond this, they mutter darkly about his emergence as a voracious political wheeler-dealer.
Keith Rupert Murdoch was born in Australia in 1931. His father, Sir Keith, was a regional newspaper magnate, based in Melbourne, and the family enjoyed considerable wealth.
Even as a child, Murdoch knew his own mind. He was, his mother recalls, "not the sort of person who liked playing in a team".
I'm rather sick of snobs who tell us they're bad papers.
Murdoch lambasts his critics
Groomed by his father, young Rupert was educated at Oxford, where he supported the Labour Party. But, aged just 22, Sir Keith died and Murdoch returned to Australia to take charge of the family business.
"My father left me with a clear sense that the media was something different," Murdoch recently told one interviewer.
Taking charge, not of his father's more prestigious titles, but of the Adelaide News, a loss making newspaper based in the provinces, Rupert Murdoch began his spectacular rise.
'Sleaze'
Soon he had expanded his legacy into a nation-wide business, encompassing newspapers, magazines and television stations.
He also found time to found Australia's first national newspaper, the Australian.
Even then, he was accused of peddling sleaze. He responded with typical directness.
"I'm rather sick of snobs who tell us they're bad papers, snobs who only read papers that no-one else wants," he said
Probably the bravest deal-maker the world has ever known.
Andrew Neil
1968 brought a major breakthrough, when Murdoch beat Robert Maxwell to buy London's News of the World. He later incorporated the Sun, the Times and the Sunday Times into his News International group.
It was the Sun which introduced bare breasts to the breakfast table and which, during the 1982 Falklands conflict, provided history's most infamous headline.
GOTCHA!, screamed the paper's front page after the sinking of the Argentinian cruiser, General Belgrano, to huge outrage.
As Charles Foster Kane once put it: "If the headline is big enough, it makes the news big enough".
Murdoch went from strength to strength. Moving to New York in the '70s, he snapped up, and revitalised, both the New York Post and New York magazine.
But it was the 1980s which, in many people's minds, defined Murdoch.
Murdoch shook up publishing in the '60s
Leaving Fleet Street for good, he re-located to Wapping in London's East End, refused to recognise unions and sacked 5000 workers.
Vowing to "shock people into a new attitude", Murdoch fought a year-long battle which, though eventually victorious, made him into a bogey-man for many on the left.
But Andrew Neil, his former right-hand man at the Sunday Times and Sky Television, called Murdoch "probably the most inventive, the bravest deal-maker the world has ever known".
Profits from Murdoch's lower-cost newspaper empire offset the losses he accrued at Sky Television, allowing him to buy the rights to Premiership football and revolutionise the sport, to many people's disgust.
Global reach
But it is the United States which has proved Murdoch's happiest hunting ground. He even became a US citizen in 1985 to comply with the country's media ownership laws.
As owner of Twentieth Century Fox and the Fox television network, he has been responsible for both the Simpsons and the feature film, Titanic.
The Dirty Digger of popular repute now enjoys a global reach, using a sophisticated system of communications satellites to reach his audience, whether in Baltimore, Basingstoke or Beijing.
Domestically, though, Murdoch's life has been complicated, to say the least. After a short-lived early marriage, he and his second wife, Anna, divorced in 1999, after 31 years.
The "battle of Wapping" left many scars
Three weeks later, he married Wendi Deng, a Chinese-born News Corp executive. He was 68, she 32. Their child, Grace, was born in November 2001.
Strangely for a man who despises the aristocracy and praises meritocracy, Murdoch has shamelessly promoted three of his four grown-up children to run his companies.
Though his daughter, Elizabeth, left Sky Television to pursue her own dreams, sons James and Lachlan remain poised to take over from their father, whose recent brush with prostate cancer caused tremors in financial markets.
Whether pronouncing on New Labour (he is broadly in favour) or on the Euro (he is firmly against British participation), Rupert Murdoch continues to live up to his billing as a press baron.
An early apostle of digital broadcasting, Murdoch entered the internet business just as the smart money left town. It is clear that he still sees plenty of dragons ripe for slaying.
With no intention of retiring, Rupert Murdoch's many fans and enemies may well have to put up with the Digger for some time yet.
