What Cathy said.

And you showed great restraint in Rumsfeld’s presence. I would’ve had a hard time not belting him. But your dance floor stalking was far more effective.

When President Obama won on election night I was soo happy, but my joy was dampened by the passing of Prop 8. At the same time I was thinking we’ve come so far, yet we have far to go.

He knows no change who knows the true,
and on it keeps his eye
Who always still the unseen doth view;
Only the false & the apparent die.

Things change, both change not far
From what they are not but to what they are,
Or rather ’tis our ignorance that dies;
Forever lives the knowledge of the wise.

Ha ha, Bigot-Stalking – that’s so funny, well done!

An attorney who is lesbian? What on earth does it matter? I shall start firing people who are rumoured to like the colour purple. Daft beggars.

As Carine alludes, its a long road. The irony of Prop 8 I believe is that if it had come up in another election year
(i.e. when we weren’t all working our asses off to get Barak in office) the outcome would likely have been different. Talents, time and money had to be delegated. I think Christie may have missed that Ms. Hagen got her job back. That’s something. I wonder how she voted this year? Still a GOP supporter. Regardless of one’s opinion on the film Milk it does remind how far we’ve come, and still a young movement with a distance to travel. Just sometimes these pieces come all together and I have to rant. Here in NM the Senior Senator Cisneros was going to not suport the Domestic Partnership Bill. This was brought to light at a benefit for our local Human Rights Alliance. His number was passed out and he was deluged with calls to the point where he asked my “fearless girlfriend” the radio talk show host
(Breakfast with Nancy – http://www.ktao.com streaming live on the web) to call people off. He then went on her show and told people he did not realize until he received all the calls that his constituents felt the way they did and reversed his decision. The Bill is still stalled but the point is, the calls and letters and noise making works especially when organized.

There were several CIA, NSA or FBI translators fired for being gay…even though it’s about as easy to find someone who fluent in Arabic as it is to find a parking spot in New York City. Who knows what our intelligence community is missing because of this assinine decision? The rightwing anti-gay grip on America is literally killing Americans. Now that creep, Ken Starr (who brought down Clinton for a blowjob) has joined forces with California’s Keep Prop 8 folks. He’s even filed a brief with the Supreme Court! When is the gay community, joined by their supporters, families and friends, going to march on Pepperdine University, where Starr is the Dean of the Law School, and demand he be fired? I think Pacific Coast Highway needs to be brought to a standstill until Prop 8 is overturned.

What a crying shame that we lost the talents of Ms. Hagen, and I am sure many others who have performed brilliantly in their careers, through the colossal wrong-mindedness of the few. Dancing with the devil indeed, now if you go down to crossroads and Rumsfeld is there as well…
