more hate from the catholic church
Published by November 12th, 2009 in civil rights, politics, that is so gay, tragic, well? and wtf?!. 4 CommentsTom Ford on gay marriage
Published by November 10th, 2009 in civil rights, hotness, mixed media, politics and that is so gay. 2 CommentsThis morning, I read this interview with Tom Ford, and I really liked some of the things he had to say; especially what he said about the gay marriage issue in this country. Tom Ford is my number one celebrity crush, so of course, any time I have a sliver of a good reason to [...]
Maine votes against gay marriage: some thoughts
Published by November 4th, 2009 in civil rights, is it just me?, politics, that is so gay, tragic, venting, well? and wtf?!. 7 CommentsYesterday, Maine’s vote sent a(nother) clear message to me: gay people do not matter to the majority of Americans. I am sure that many will argue that this is not the position of most Americans, but the message is too clear to ignore. Our civil rights are constantly up for debate, and constantly, we have [...]
a (queer) monday menagerie
Published by October 26th, 2009 in civil rights, hmm interesting, is it just me?, music musings, near and dear, politics, show the love, that is so gay, venting, wtf?! and you tube. 4 Comments- Pride in Atlanta is this weekend, and I am kind of excited about being able to celebrate Pride weekend without the heat of June, and hopefully, without the torrential downpours that usually came along with it. Anyone going besides me?
- This blog post about the (possibly diminished) potentiality of Adam Lambert’s success in the [...]
no 5SF this week, but some great news
Published by October 23rd, 2009 in all about me, civil rights, happenings, listen up!, politics and that is so gay. 0 CommentsAs you may notice, there is no five song Friday occupying its regular slot this week; I have had a really bad week (from being sick to the hot water heater woes to school work overload), so I am taking a break. I need to write up my concert experience from Mat Kearney last Friday [...]
with a “role model” like this…
Published by June 24th, 2009 in blog on blog, civil rights, is it just me?, listen up!, near and dear, politics, that is so gay, tragic, venting, well? and wtf?!. 5 CommentsWho needs enemies? ESPECIALLY when this particular “role model” is nothing but a non-celebrity that is using his crass, bitchy, and bitter attitude to do nothing but bring the rest of us down to his level. Unfortunately, the person I am speaking of, is faux-celebrity blogger, Perez Hilton, and his latest stunt that is [...]
um, thanks… FOR NOTHING
Published by June 18th, 2009 in civil rights, is it just me?, listen up!, near and dear, politics, that is so gay, venting, well? and wtf?!. 0 CommentsIt seems that my outrage yesterday was a little less than it should have been. Turns out, the gesture Obama tried to placate us with, was worth nothing:
The memorandum Obama signed Wednesday is not expected to grant health and retirement benefits to same-sex partners, as that is prohibited under the Defense of Marriage Act.

That’s right, [...]
um, thanks?
Published by June 17th, 2009 in civil rights, listen up!, politics, that is so gay, well? and wtf?!. 3 CommentsAm I the only one who thinks that Obama’s recent act of granting benefits to same sex couples is kind of, well, a cop out? First of all, it is only for federal employees, which is definitely nice, since I work for the government, and know many people that will be able to take advantage [...]

Published by November 10th, 2008 in civil rights, politics, show the love and that is so gay. 1 CommentThere are a whole bunch of people speaking out against Prop 8, and I was pleased to get this email from one of my very favorite singers, Ms. Sara Bareilles, the other day:
Dear Californians,
I don’t normally delve into the political spectrum, but this particular issue is very important to me and I want to share [...]
redistributing hate
Published by November 7th, 2008 in civil rights, listen up!, politics, that is so gay, tragic, venting and wtf?!. 13 CommentsI know that I already posted today, but this has me in such an uproar, that I literally feel my skin crawling as I sit here typing this. A close friend of mine who lives in California has alerted me to what can only be described as a redistribution of hate. I actually had to [...]
