"With celebrity fly by night marriages & 50% divorce rate, marriage needs an infusion of good gay love." -Jeremy Hanson

At this, the "largest protest in the history of the glbt movement," across the states and across the world, "We call upon the Supreme Court of California turn back the tyranny of the majority." - ( Read more... )

I'm off soon to join the impact, the nationwide set of protest/rallies versus proposition 8.

And I'm nervous as all hell.

Nothing specific worries me, but I'm bubbling over with nervous gases. My mind is alive with visions of angry mobs and RNC head-busting. Did I mention that socialists are organizing it?

Everyone wants a peaceful assembly, ( Read more... )

Sad and reflective, I emerged from the theater after Brokeback Mountain. It's a great film. As a piece of art, it's just great. The pacing is damn near perfect, the panoramic views are very Chinese (and very good), and the acting was uniformly convincing. And, yes, the sex between the two cowboys was fun to watch... but that really seemed ( Read more... )

So pounds out my left temple, in time with an imagined rendition of Ella's Night and Day. It's not work-related: I only worked 4 hours today and it was actually quite nice. I reminded elderly voters of an event tomorrow, and talked to a few more about their voting preference. Sure, the exposure to geriatricity got me down for a bit... quite a ( Read more... )

The National Coming Out Day luncheon was a fine time indeed. A better success, I think, than the District 202 event. Here I was seen by many, talked to quite a few, impressed at least one OutFronter, and got to know the new Communications Director. Lots of folk assumed I worked for the org... I laughed it off and said something to the effect of ( Read more... )

Unless she had a major change-of-heart in the last decade-and-a-half, Bush's Supreme Court nominee is actually pro-GLBT! Or, she was at least willing to commit to writing, in 1989, her agreement that gays/lesbians should have "the same civil rights" as straights. There's plenty of room to play with this, of course -- "sure you have the right to ( Read more... )

First off: I'm still unemployed. I did go talk with a lady from "Career Opportunities" and she'll try to find a job for me. It's a bit like hiring a taxi in an unfamiliar city. It might zip you right to where you want to go... or, it might cross two or three extra bridges as it spirals toward and away from the destination. But, it beats walking ( Read more... )

Please note that it is not forgetful that has led me to post no pictures honoring Dave & Diana (the generous friends who sponsored me in my potentially-career-building GLBT rights walk). No, not forgetfulness. Modesty. Humility. Lack of courage.

But no longer!

So now... ( the first of two promised images )
