When we started raannt, we decided to dedicate a SEXY list every month to things we thought were sexy, intriguing, mysterious, luxurious, gorgeous, priceless and thought provoking. They are must have things! This last week when all of this business about the students at IUPUI being denied service by the JUST COOKIES bakery occurred, we decided to dedicate a list in support of ALL gay youth, not just the college students at IUPUI. In the same manner we do everything else, we poked some fun at the issue and posed the following question to friends, celebrities, colleagues and just about anybody we could contact. “GAY CUPCAKES ARE SEXY BECAUSE?…” Many people didn’t understand why we asked this specific question, so let us explain. It didn’t really matter what we asked we just wanted to show, in a light hearted way, that tons of people out there supported these kids and wanted them to realize they were not alone and that many, many people felt they were beautiful, talented…and priceless, much like what we had printed on our previous SEXY lists. But than a horrible event occurred. Within one week, five gay teenagers committed suicide. We could no longer look at the situation with a light hearted manner. In a conversation between several people we know, one of which remains extremely bigoted, the issue came up that any business had the right to refuse service to anyone. While this depends upon where the establishment resides, the Indianapolis based bakery being on government property, the issue was being lost in the details. You see, for anyone who is gay and has suffered any kind of injustice or has been with someone who is gay and depressed or suicidal, which we have, you know it doesn’t start with the gun, the knife, the rope or the pill. No, it starts long before that with the harassment, the name calling, the cold shouldering, the denial, the fear and yes, the refusal of people to deal with us as human beings. So you see, it’s not really just about a couple of students who walked into a bakery and attempted to order some cookies for a diversity group. What occurred is just part of a long line leading up to events which eventually become out of control for some people. It starts with the cupcake! So in support of the gay kids at IUPUI who stood up for their rights as human beings, and for the thousands of others we will never know who battle this injustice every day, we give you this SEXY list, to show you that, yes…people really do care. And for the five kids who lost their lives this week, may you be remembered with beauty and amazement and may your choices be lessens to others that life, as sexy as it is at times, is oh so very precious!

But as we all know, beauty takes time. The cupcake is topped with Louis XIII Remy Martin Cognac and edible gold flakes before finally being crowned with a hand-blown sugar fleur-de-lis.

I cannot believe we live in a world that is treating gays the way African American’s were treated. How far have we really come?… We are human beings and deserve rights. Freedom rights. Love. Partnership. Equality. If a simple order of something so sweet can turn into hate, where are we headed?. Love yourself, love others, treat people with kindness. For what is hate worth.
