Based on the dramatic drop it readership of the last week, no one really cares if I finish my week-long “Equality Matters” series. At 5 entries, we’ll call it a work week and break for the weekend. Some of the thoughts percolating in my head: I have to agree with Back2Stonewall on the issue of [...]
You know, in over a decade of being a loudmouth know-it-all on most political topics, it occurs to me that I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve shared my opinions about the Israel-Palestine conflict. There was a period of 6 months a few years ago when I took a serious interest [...]
I did something I don’t usually do last night, I watched the local news. It wasn’t entirely intentional. I was watching Brothers & Sisters and didn’t pay enough attention to the screen as they rolled into the lead story on the nightly news. Shock! Scandal! Hypocrisy! Shame! So, apparently, at 9:30 a.m. on a Saturday, [...]
I’m never quite sure what to do or say on the anniversary of 9/11. I didn’t know anyone involved in the events of the day. I’d never been to New York, or Washington DC, or rural Pennsylvania. The closest this tragedy came to touching my life in any real way was friends-of-friends-of-friends. So, like I [...]
While I’m waiting for my laundry to get clean, I thought I’d share a thought that’s been rumbling around in my head for a few days. I’m going to miss the Olympics. I mean that in the sense that I’m going to be genuinely disappointed that I’m not watching them when I clearly have both [...]
To put tomorrow’s hearings in perspective, here’s a clip that sums up my thoughts… ‘Gays Too Precious To Risk In Combat,’ Says General While I believe that all people should have equal access to joining or participating in any institution (from marriage to war-mongering), it’s hard for me to get terribly excited about my fellow [...]
The Supreme Court of the United States has ruled that administering the death penalty by lethal injection is not cruel and unusual punishment. With a 7-2 verdict from SCOTUS on Baze v. Rees, which challenged Kentucky’s lethal injection program as unconstitutionally cruel and unusual, that pretty much clears the way–for the first time since last [...]
Today is World AIDS Day. I could quote statistics or tell deeply personal stories about how AIDS impacts us all, but I’d rather do something else. This year, I’m going to make one simple request. Last year President Bush promised to fix the problems with allowing HIV+ people into the country. Currently, only 13 countries [...]
So earlier this month, I submitted an op-ed piece titled “How I Came to Oppose Barney Frank” to a few LGBT media outlets I had connections with. QVegas and QSaltLake, the two for whom I used to work, picked it up in slightly different forms (though essentially the same). You can read it on the [...]
