“STR8 Against H8″ ’11 Charity Calendar

I guess when you find yourself at the center of controversy these days, it’s become the norm these days to take advantage of that opportunity to cash in…even if it is for a good cause!

A group whose ‘In your face’ attitude and language offends many both in and out of the gay community, the group that famously trashed the whole ‘It gets better’ video collection for The Trevor Project as fucking shit. The group that used a 4 year old baby shouting obscenities in one of their videos is back to shout in your face again. Yep, the   FUCKH8 group launched their bold new 2011 charity calendar.

Reinforcing the negative stereotype that us gay folk just cant keep our hands of those straight boys, to the absolute max, they’ve come up with ‘STR8 AGAINST HATE’ calendar!       They’ve pulled out the stops and hired a bunch of straight models (and pulled one of the street) stripped them, sprayed them with a ton of oil and photographed them.

Dudes take it off so the homos can get their rights on! is how they see it, and say it in the behind the scenes video which was too explicit to be shown on YouTube without being edited.   The charity group which raises funds for the US fight for equal marriage and ‘queer’ youth counselling and suicide prevention.   The small but cute calendar is just $3,   $2 of which goes to the charity fund.

The stereotypes don’t stop there, all the guys are muscle bound hunks, fine specimens of beefcake, because Luke ‘the fag’ behind it, likes ‘em like that. It’s hardly representative of the whole community, but having said that, they are rather nice eye candy, it’s reminiscent of a colour version of the muscle pictorial magazines of the 50’s and 60’s!

‘Harry Potter’ star Daniel Radcliffe hopes to save the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) youth through a “major donation” to The Trevor Project.

“It’s extremely distressing to consider that in 2009 suicide is a top three killer of young people… It’s vitally important that young people understand they are not alone and, perhaps even more important, that their young lives have real value,” Radcliffe said.
