One thing I’ve always said regarding the battle for LGBT equal rights, was that the movement is far too passive, even “respectful” of those who legislate against us, as they have now done again. I’m not condemning  any of the incredible efforts made by LGBT camps in our fight against Proposition 8. On occasion after […]

I found an excellent article today on Huffington Post by Shaun Jacob Halper regarding the passing of Prop 8. It starts… “This past Election Tuesday, Californians turned out in droves to recognize the rights of caged-chickens while denying the rights of gays and lesbians to marry. Passing Prop 2 and Prop 8, Californians secured a

You may have noticed the Fresno Bee decided to not cover last Sundays No on Prop 8 rally, although every other media outlet did.  The Bee did a front page spread on the "Yes on 8" rally that happened the week prior in the exact same location.  This strikes as unfair and purely partisan on

I am having Sarah Palin nightmares. I dreamt last night that she was a member of a club where they rode snowmobiles and wore the claws of drowned and starved polar bears around their necks.

Can we just cut the bullshit? Let’s stop saying stupendously idiotic things like Americans who are on the wrong side of an issue are “ignorant” or “uninformed”? There’s one reason and one reason only why so many Americans can’t hold a decent conversation involving topical issues, and that’s that they don’t make any effort to

It’s Christmas time.  A time of giving, of charity, of compassion.  At least, it is supposed to be.  This Christmas season however, we get to watch GOP Presidential contender Mike Huckabee travel about Iowa selling his views of America – an America where not only is it not ok to be gay, it’s just plain
