is not a sincere pope."

or drink while you read this - you might spray food
all over the place."

All? Not in Utah"

caseworker who told Ms. Losco that 'post-op' transgender
people have more rights than 'pre-op' ones was mistaken."

Re "Liberals and
Their Invisible Homophobia"
"It’s
annoying to have to take time to respond to someone like
Jamie Kirchick, whose obsessive attacks on yours truly
have become minor masterpieces of deliberate deception
and obfuscation."
-
Photographer
Fined for Refusing to Shoot Commitment Ceremony
"This is wrong!!
Where did we get the idea that we can force people to
work for us even if they find what we are forcing someone to
do objectionable."

Obama Interview
"I was a bit
surprised that the one and only gay press Barack Obama
is choosing to talk to would fail to question him on his
association with proudly homophobic antigay reverend
James Meeks."

Obama: Not the
Whole Truth on LGBT
"Like a true
politician, Barack Obama never answered Kerry Eleveld's
question on why he allowed on his stump an antigay preacher
who states the need to 'break the curse of
homosexuality.'"

Barack Obama
"Regarding
Obama's interview, I've heard several of my friends refer

alone to make it happen."

Jock Soto article for April 7, 2008."

understand why various leaders are so threatened by a group

Lawrence King and
"Mixed Messages"
"It is great that
there are hundreds of agencies that will sign a letter

life of this young brave boy. We have a long way to go."

On "Straight
Acting"
"I think what
many gay men are finding they are attracted to these
days - though they term it 'straight acting' - is actually
that down-to-the-core relaxed, unafraid, unaffected
(at least in the way GAY men can be), way of 'being'
that they intuitively feel in many straight men (even
underneath said straight man's own false 'behaviors') that
they don't feel in the core of many gay men."
-
Larry King: Right
Issue, Wrong Tack
"Any kid, gay or
straight, needs to know how to keep themselves safe
from physical harm. It isn't clear that Larry King's
counselors did that, but neither did they douse him in
steak sauce and throw him in a bear pit, as your
article suggests."
-
Obama vs. Hillary
"I will continue
to support Hillary till the end, because I know where
she stands on gay rights."
-
My Letter to
Sally Kern Was Unanswered

in the public eye, who consider homosexuality on par
with terrorism or cancer?"
-
Salt Lake City's
"Mutual Commitment"
"Is this a back
door to polygamy?"
-
Feds Deny
Passport for Gay AIDS Volunteer

years ago the passport office refused to change my
husband's name based on our marriage in Massachusetts."

Straight-acting
"Being who we
really are may give peace, but it will not change
social reality."
-
Another Letter to
Sally Kern
"We want an
apology, Sally Kern. It's time for awareness, it's time
for reform."

Obama Delivers
Most Important Speech...
"Hopefully,
everyone sees that he is no better than the Islamic
people amongst us plotting to take over our country, our way
of life, our culture."
-
Sally Kern:
Old-fashioned Fascism
"Dear Sally,
You've got blood on your hands... You are not the voice

terror.... You are the terrorist.... Not us."
