We'll Have a Gay Old Time
Despite originally planning to, I did not end up attending Winnipeg's Pride March today, but GLBT issues have still been on my mind...
Fortunately, I think the situation in Canada is pretty good (though not perfect) at this point in history, and hopefully, things are starting to turn around in the United States as well. I'm encouraged by the recent court decision allowing same-sex marriage in California (even if there are those already trying to undo it), and if some people could keep themselves from getting worked up about things like girls kissing at baseball games, the more rational Americans would be much better off.
(One of the few things that makes me sad about Barack Obama's presidential candidacy is that, while he's pretty good on these issues, he does not support same-sex marriage. :/)
Before I go, I should also offer up a somewhat related (and belated) plug, even though I'm quite behind on my viewing, for lampbane's excellent analysis of sexual orientation in the writings of Russell T Davies, ultimately arriving at the conclusion that Torchwood Isn't Gay Enough.
