'Milk' Screenwriter = Another Hero of mine
You guys, I am NOT even lying here...there is some REALLY great stuff tonight! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE watch the video of Dustin Lance Black as he speaks in Washington State about his coming out, the liberation of the LGBT comm, and making Marriage Equality a Federal Matter. There is also a really long and great article that deals with the fait of the LGBT community depending on what cases the Supreme Court hears in the near future, and some other really encouraging things as well...but there is always a thorn among the roses. If anyone knows who the fuck this Bret Easton Ellis guy is, I'd like 'un' know him right away, if you get me.
The Avocate
Dustin Lance Black, who wrote the sceenplay for the movie 'Milk' gives ONE OF THE BEST SPEECES I've ever heard in my life - from Washington State. Introduction by Chad Griffin, pres of HRC Video included ... VERY moving.
4 PAGE ARTICLE describing the decision the Supreme Court has to make about which of several cases to hear, some about DOMA, and some about Prop 8. It tells which wins will get LGBT closer to victory, which will not, and what would happen in the aftermath. It's an AWESOME piece, detailing, truly, how history is happening right now, in our country, in this year and in the next. If you have time, I highly recommend reading
I never knew this guy ever existed and I've never seen any of his work that I know of, but I can tell you this, I have 'Less Than Zero' respect for Bret Easton Ellis, THIS HOMOPHOBIC, INSENSITIVE, HURTFUL, HATE-INSIGHTING, POOR EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN BEING
Maine Firemen APPEAR IN AN AD about Marriage Equality in their state. The article also includes how Marriage Equality was legalized in Maine back in 2009, but it was replealed with the help of NOM (Natioinal Organization of Marriage)

Well, it's been a long day. Got my twitter hacked today, so yeah, if anyone got some DM's that really didn't sound like me, THAT'S BECAUSE IT WASN'T! In fact, on matters not regarding my hack, if you DID receive a DM from me within the last 2 days, YOU CAN TOTALLY THROW IT IN THE TRASH AND DON'T OPEN ANY LINKS!!!!! So sorry about that, and thanks to everyone who helped me out.
Gah, you guys, I had a daydream earlier that I actually MET Chad Griffin from HRC, and damn if that didn't nearly bring me to fuckin' tears. Shit, if I could meet any ONE of the people I hear about or read their writing, I think I would just faint. Just out-right FAINT! I'll have more later. Thanks to anyone who came here tonight, and much love.
