I hope you signed on to the open letter to Sally Kern, to let her know we’re listening. While we’re all waiting for updates on that issue, I think it’s best to zoom out a bit and cool our heads.
Here’s just one of the wildly funny strips in Celine’s Gay Balls of Fire, a lesbian […]

An Open Letter to Sally Kern

Posted in March 18th, 2008
Published in Gay Rights, News

Dear Sally,
I saw the statement you released yesterday in which you said your “hate speech” is merely “free speech.” That’s kind of gross, but it’s also beside the point.
The point is this: your words have consequences. Ask Judy Shepherd — her son, Matthew, was viciously murdered ten years ago by people who think like you. […]

The 61-year old representative from Oklahoma has been caught on tape giving a speech that strongly criticizes the gay lifestyle. It has found its way to Youtube, where the speech has generated very passionate viewer reactions. The speech was secretly recorded during […]

A Thesis on Satsu, the Vampire Slayer

Published in Comics, Buffy

I found a wonderfully detailed analysis of Satsu’s character on Season 8 of the Buffy comics. Stormwreath studies virtually every panel Satsu appeared in and gives us his own clinical interpretation. Here’s an excerpt:
Recent developments would tend to suggest that Satsu is becoming a major character in ‘Buffy’… In fact, if the show were still […]

Published in Internet, Lists

The TLL site has been kind enough to include About Womyn to its roster of lesbian blogs. It’s a pretty exhaustive list compiled in over 4 years, with the links being continually updated. I actually didn’t send them About Womyn’s link, so a big shout out and thanks to the one who did, whoever you […]

Buffy and Faith Fanfiction (with a little bit of Satsu)

Posted in March 16th, 2008
Published in Literature, Buffy

With the dizzying developments in Buffy Season 8, a lot of questions are being raised. One question I’m particularly eager to get answered is, “What’s Faith gonna say?” I think it’s the hidden Fuffy in me surfacing. I’d make a fanfic myself but I’m already busy writing one on Star Trek: Voyager. So, I decided […]

Published in Events, News

Dani Campbell may have come out broken-hearted after the last episode of A Shot at Love, but things have certainly picked up since then. Busier than ever, Dani Campbell is balancing things between her career as a firefighter (yep, she’s still there) and being the hottest futch on the planet. It must be tough being […]

Published in Religion, Gay Rights, News

In the Iranian Islamic Penal Code homosexuality is illegal and punishable by death. Torture in the form of whipping is also used to punish homosexuals. Ironically, the law provides for a choice of execution — hanging, stoning, being halved by a sword or dropped from a high place — but a judge may also […]

Tying the Knot: Why legal marriage matters

Posted in March 13th, 2008
Published in Gay Rights, Videos

I’d like to share to you this trailer of a compelling documentary I saw a few months ago. It’s called Tying the Knot, and it’s about the fight for gay marriage in America. Why is it so important? Among other things, without a state-recognized union, your partner will be treated pretty much like crap if […]

If you care about them, you should be ready

There was a lot of talk when Heath Ledger’s last will and testament came out. Apparently, he wrote it in 2003, before his relationship with Michelle Williams. In it he left all his assets to his parents and sister. Even after the birth of their daughter Matilda Rose in 2005, he never got around to […]
