Yes, it’s another gay marriage post; I hadn’t intended for this blog to become so practically exclusively focused on that debate, but at the same time I can’t deny that it has a very personal dimension for me. But if you read no other article about this issue, please read this powerfully moving story, a […]
As Jeff noted last week and Cornelia followed up yesterday, tomorrow is the DC area’s Dining Out for Life event, in which a number of local restaurants will donate between 25% and 100% of their meal proceeds to Food & Friends, which “prepares and delivers meals and groceries to nearly 1,000 people living with HIV/AIDS […]
The list of DC GLBTQ blogs and journals is now up to 117 118 sites, with 89 90 of those having RSS feeds. The OPML file for the latter also is available. [Update 03.10.04 10:20: Just added Jol’s television-related blog to the list. Welcome, Jol.]
Today’s Times has an article (“Gay and Republican, but Not Necessarily Disloyal to President”) about gay Republicans who have decided to continue their support for Bush and to vote for him come November, despite his call for a Constitutional amendment banning gay marriage.

Today during my departmental staff meeting with my boss and her direct reports, our librarian talked about an upcoming conference she’ll be attending on libraries and computing; she noted that there was going to be a session on “blogging,” and that she hadn’t known previously what that was.

As I sat here on the futon reading a column by Jonathan Rauch on nytimes.com, I pointed it out to Jeff (a few days ago he had noted another upcoming Rauch article in the Atlantic, which he was reading at brunch today), who mused as he pulled it up on his own laptop about this […]
“America stands at a defining moment. The only comparison is our battle for independence for England.” No, that quotation wasn’t George Bush talking about the war on terror, John Kerry speaking about the dangers of the Patriot Bill, Abraham Lincoln during his Gettysburg Address, or even Ralph Nader’s ego holding forth on his candidacy for […]
Both Jeffs (mine and the other one) have posted about Mark Morford’s recent column in SF Gate, “Where Is My Gay Apocalypse,” wondering why we’ve not seen the wrath of God that the religious right would have us believe should have occurred upon the granting of gay marriages in San Francisco (and elsewhere). I have […]
Jeff already has reported on our outing to the HRC-organized rally for gay marriage last night, about which our impressions largely are in sync. Turnout seemed high; a lesbian employee had predicted a small crowd, but the numbers looked pretty impressive to us, though it’s hard to tell since the space was not a large […]
When I first saw an item in a Forbes column about the amount of money Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ is raking in for him, I thought the sentence about his receiving a percentage of the merchandising from the sale of “mugs and nail necklaces” must be a joke. But it’s true. The […]
