Yeah, I got some presents at Xmas, but can anything compare to a lap full of nephews?
I also got a bunch of clothes and a few gift certificates. One of the gift certificates is to a movie theatre chain with lots of outlets in Utah, but the nearest theater to Manhattan is about 5 hours [...]
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 in [...]
In a story from a Utah network, Utah State Senator Chris Buttars is once again managing to say the most vile, distasteful and offensive things without fear of reprisal. In interviews with a documentary crew, he manages to insult LGBT people, Muslims, and African-Americans. Excerpts from the story:
Sen. Chris Buttars: “Homosexuality will always be a [...]
A facebook status update from Utah State Senator Scott McCoy (a.k.a. “The Gay”) first alerted me to this cheery news:
From the Salt Lake Tribune:
Governor endorses civil unions
Here is a sentence you probably never expected to read: Utah’s governor supports civil unions.
Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr., a spokeswoman said Monday, backs Equality Utah’s Common Ground Initiative, [...]
I love me some righteous indignation. I know, you’re shocked. I’ve never let on in this blog that I get worked up over causes I hold dear, but it’s true. I really sort of enjoy getting fired up and angry at the injustices and wrongs of the world. I also love to rally support around [...]
I’ll say this much, my experiences with Mormonism never approached the level of outright abuse and torture leveled on Eric Norwood, whose story “Trapped in a Mormon Gulag” is a painful and unsurprising story. His tale is one of many from the Utah Boys Ranch – a sort of private education/prison facility run by professional [...]

Taking advantage of momentum following the apparent passage of California’s Proposition 8, Equality Utah called a press conference for Monday, Nov. 10 at noon in its offices.
“Over this recent election cycle, there has been much emotion around California’s Proposition 8 – emotion on [...]
Yesterday, over 3,000 Utahns gathered around LDS church headquarters to protest the passage of California’s Prop 8 and the Mormon involvement in the campaign. My friend Jesse took some amazing photos and videos of the event. Troy spoke at the event and has video from KSL that put the attendance at 3,500.
Meanwhile, California activists [...]
My trip home is coming to a close all too quickly. Said some family goodbyes today since I’ll be taking off before some of them leave work tomorrow. Jasmine is joining me on the first leg of the flight home (she’s on her way to Sacramento to visit her boyfriend before he leaves for a [...]
This was an unusual holiday. For the first time, the number of adult children versus still-living-at-home children in the family has caused severe disruption to our usual traditions. So we began opening presents at 8:00 am, took a break, started again at 10:00 when some of the others showed up, went to my grandparents house [...]
