Fighting the good fight

Nothing like having the state Supreme Court affirm your rights as a second-class citizen to get the old blood pumping again, is there?  One thing can certainly be said about having been bitch-slapped again by the decision regarding Prop 8 which snatched away the right to marry from same-sex couples in California, is that it [...]

What have I ever done to you?

To be perfectly honest, I haven’t been in the best of moods lately. I’ve been in a foul ass, irritable, slippery slope of up and down and frankly even I’m sick of it. Nothing’s triggered it, I’m not upset about anything in particular, and I’ve had a lot of things go right recently. And then [...]

Keith Olbermann on Prop 8: He gets it

The thing about what has become an issue of national importance with regards to Prop 8 in California is that it really isn’t a gay issue. It’s a fairness issue. About what’s right and wrong, and what’s fair and just.  People are pissed and upset and if you think that it’s just marginalized and maligned [...]

Letter to Mom

Dear Mom,
Today’s a tough day for me. If you were here, you wouldn’t believe what just happened. Never in my life did I think I’d have someone like Barack Obama leading this country. I know we have it good here, mama, better than people in a lot of other places, but it’s been tough lately. [...]

Why gay marriage matters to me

It hit me the other day. I was active in yet another social media/networking site, this one called Friendfeed (that I really love, btw), and I read a post from a guy who’s around my age, married with a couple kids, doing fine with his career, and come across as generally happy and good natured. [...]

Let love rule.

The people who would love to repeal the proposition 8 measure are really driving me crazy.
I was planning to blog this morning about stopping my whorish ways, which really have gotten out of control. I’ve put the kabosh on my hookups which are just that, which never go anywhere other than a fleeting makeout/BJ session [...]

Endorsement.

“Is there something wrong with being a Muslim in this country? The answer is no. That’s not America. Is there something wrong with a seven-year-old Muslim-American kid believing he or she could be president? Yet I have heard senior members of my own party drop the suggestion that [Obama] is a Muslim and might have [...]

“With this, I thee wed…”

As Election Day draws nigh, I can’t help but politicize things. We’re on the cusp of having the first African-American president, something I never thought possible in my lifetime. Someone who, by comparison, would like to do something for gays and lesbians even though states tend to deal with the topic of gay marriage as [...]

In case you didn’t know where I stood

Kay Eye Arr

I didn’t coin the phrase Keep It Real, (although I’m absolutely certain I came up with TMI as a moniker for Too Much Information), but I do rock KIR as an acronym for the oft-said phrase. And today’s post will deal with some people who need to do just that, KIR, when it comes to [...]
