The other night Jennifer and I were sitting around the table with our friend Heather. In one of those rambling, free-flow conversations you have over tea, I noticed that the topic kept circling back to health concerns. From reproductive health to weight loss to psychological problems to general aches and pains… easily half of our [...]
I’m well aware that the majority of people who read and comment on my blog are gay, but there are also a number of non-LGBT allies who check in regularly. Today’s entry is for you in the second category. I know it’s a bit long as blogs go, but please hear me out. Yesterday on [...]
Okay, we’ve been having a lot of fun this week on the blog, rating superheros and watching funny videos, but it’s time for another boring, political editorial. It used to be that I was required by my job to pump out one of these every two weeks. So this morning I opened my email to [...]
I have a theory (it could be bunnies) about the current foot-dragging of the federal government around LGBT rights. Why has Obama forsaken us on the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell? Why is the Senate considering stalling the Matthew Shepard Act by tying it once again into a defense spending bill? Why hasn’t the [...]
I found this quote from Jeffrey Toobin in The New Yorker pretty interesting: His jurisprudence as Chief Justice, Roberts said, would be characterized by “modesty and humility.” After four years on the Court, however, Roberts’s record is not that of a humble moderate but, rather, that of a doctrinaire conservative. The kind of humility that [...]
I was in a really bad mood today. What put me in the bad mood isn’t especially important, but it occurs to me that it’s a good thing this summer is 99% vacation. Even 9 months after leaving my last full time job, certain aspects of corporate mentality still manage to piss me off really [...]
By now we’ve all heard the latest canard from the right-wing, about how queer equality advocates are out to destroy free speech for Christians. Hate crime legislation, housing and employment nondiscrimination protections, even anti-bullying bills for schools – according to the religious right, these are the greatest threats to free speech ever. And, of course, [...]
As long as I’m unleashing my inner-13-year-old-girl-with-a-thing-for-animated-graphics on my blog (see previous post)… Buttars-Palooza is a response by the Utah queer community to those nasty comments of State Senator Chris Buttars I reported on last week. Although I sorta referenced it on my twitter feed, I haven’t blogged my response to the hand-slapping he got [...]
First, they wanted to take National Endowment for the Arts money out of the stimulus package. Of course, that money might have created or saved the jobs of artists and those who support the arts community, but conservatives are only concerned about “shovel-ready” jobs (i.e. unskilled labor jobs). Now, RNC Chairperson Michael Steele tells George [...]
From Joe. My. God.: The Uniting American Families Act will be reintroduced to the House next Friday by Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY). The act would allow the same-sex partners of legal U.S. residents to enjoy the same immigration rights as heterosexual couples. The unfair current law has stranded thousands of gay couples overseas or forced [...]
