Once again, I have missed the boat. Do you think that having a talent for writing and spending the time and energy sitting down to write a story and create a website is what it takes to get people to follow your work? Well, think again! You know what it takes? Being a lesbian, that's what. Who knew? Well, I for one did not but consider me schooled!
First of all the wires were buzzing, and by wires I mean wireless, magic interwebs, because "A Gay Girl in Damascus" had been kidnapped by Syrian security forces. It turned out that the Gay Girl had not realised just how important she would be to the international world because the world responded in full force, demanding her immediate release. And when the Syrian forces claimed to not have this Gay Girl, the world was relentless - "We know you are lying so let her go and let her be!" The Gay Girl would have been touched by all this support if indeed the Gay Girl had been a gay girl and not a Guy from Scotland. I wonder how his/her girlfriend in Canada feels about this... I am a little surprised that the two were dating when they had not even met - that's taking a long distance relationship to a whole new level. So maybe a Gay Girl had tired of her website and wanted a way out but we have now learnt that the way to get out of a blog is not by being kidnapped by Syrian security forces.
Some might sit around and think - who would even think to do this? Well, this action is not out of the ordinary at all. No, sir, it is not. Before A Gay Girl, aka Amina, branched out and launched her own blog, she was writing on the website Lez Get Real - a lesbian news website. When Amina went missing, the editor of Lez Get Real, Paula Brooks, reported the kidnap. When Amina turned out to be Tom, reporters became curious about everything. It turns out that Paula is actually Bill. Bill wrote as Paula because he felt that he would not be taken seriously as a straight man (what a joke those folk are).
So there you are, slaving away with your ideas and your words and your ethics that somehow include being yourself. How dare you! All these important stories that you are robbing the world of because you won't take the leap and be a lesbian. Shame on you!
because... how else can you feel?

Did this really happen? What a hoax! I only found out through your blog entry, thanks!
So who's this? ;)
Oh yes, Dodo! It was too much how much bigger the hoax became. This is what they mean when they tell you (when you are a kid) not to lie because then you just have to lie more and more and it never ends up well :-)
Hehe fb... who is this indeed ;-)
