Who is the ultimate gay icon of all time? It`s Britney, Bi***




"Pop star Britney Spears has been named the ultimate gay icon of all time in a poll by the Equality Project, having beaten off competition from Lady Gaga, Barack Obama and Cher.


Spears took 31 per cent of the vote. Madonna was ranked second with 25 per cent and bisexual Lady Gaga took 22 per cent of the vote in third place. Ironically, Lady Gaga is considered to be the world`s most influential gay rights advocate."

Lady Gaga, Britney Spears and Madonna are the Holy Trinity of gay icons.

Lady Gaga doesn`t pose a serious threat to Spears` reign as the most beloved gay icon. Lady Gaga may have millions of gay monsters who adore her, but some critics accuse her of pandering to gays and lesbians. Gays and lesbians don`t need the blessing of a publicity hungry celeb to legitimize their community.

However I predict that Madonna will be back on top before you can say "Snap." Madonna has staying power and she`s had a long relationship with gays and lesbians. All girlfriend has to do is release a new album or launch another concert tour and she`ll be the ultimate gay icon again.

New Zealand - United States relations...

New Zealand - United States relations
...
New Zealand – United States relations refers to international relations between New Zealand and the United States of America. New Zealand is a friend, but not an ally of the United States. Nonetheless, New Zealand has maintained "excellent" relations with the United States^[1] on a broad number of international issues. President Obama reiterated this in 2009, saying that New Zealand and the United States had a very strong relationship and he wanted that relationship to be even better. ^[2]
Both the United States and New Zealand share some common ancestry and history (see British Empire), having both been British colonies. Both countries had native peoples who were dispossessed of their land by the process of colonisation. Both have been part of the Western alliance of nations in various wars. There are numerous other similarities between the two countries.

The ironies of ironies - Kiwi PM John Key is now a dedicated anti-nuker.

When the New Zealand Labour Government introduced and adopted its anti- nuclear policy in 1987, the then National opposition not only vehemently opposed it, they actually ridiculed it as nonsense!

It put New Zealand off-side with the US for over 20 years until President Obama has introduced his nuclear weapons reduction policy and agreement with Russia to reduce their nuclear weapon arsenals by a third. Obama also seeks a world without nuclear weapons - rhetoric perhaps, but a mindset change in reality.

 During these years of isolation for NZ after they refused entry to US warships unless they were prepared to disclose they were nuclear powered or armed, NZ has been unable to train with the US miltary or receive intelligence reports from them, and NZ was locked out of the ANZUS alliance. New Zealand received information from third parties and trained with mainly Australian military forces. NZ adopted an independent foreign policy, but was always a friend and ally of the US, but not officially the latter.New Zealand refused to commit combat forces to  Iraqi conflict unless it was sanctioned by the United Nations. New Zealand has shown its commitment by sending special forces troops to Afghanistan for the next 18 months or so at least.

Well that has now apparently all changed, and NZ has come in from the cold. But the US found over 23 years that the little guy won't always accept being bullied in the schoolyard by one of the big guys! I'm pleased anyway because I'm not anti-American but was just anti- bully!

So here is Johny Key one of President Obama's favoured guests this week as a member of a foreign conference of world leaders in Washington. He has already met with Vice-president Joe Biden and will talk with President Obama on the nuclear issue. PM Key has found himself the vehicle to which recognition of New Zealand's two decade long opposition to nuclear weapons will be directed. And that dear readers is the ironies of ironies; granted that Key was hardly old enough to have been a politician back in 1987. He is the one who accepts New Zealand's anti-nuclear redemption on its behalf. Did the National Party actually oppose New Zealand's anti-nuclear policy? Yeah right!
