Micheal Guest is the former US Ambassador to Romania, and was the first openly gay US Ambassador confirmed by the Senate. He resigned, after years of service to the country, in 2007, and on his departure delivered a scathing indictment of the State Department and specifically the then-Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice for their lack [...]
…. and sailors, and Air Force types (why is there not a simple one worder for people in the Air Forces of the world?).
One of my relatively recent blog discoveries is Joe.My.God, and I’m loving Joe’s post on the subject of out servicemembers joining London’s Pride march.
Accompanying this photo, he simply comments
Openly gay members of [...]
Just a quick beg: Sunday 19th July I’ll be taking part in San Francisco’s AIDS Walk. All in a good cause, please think about sponsoring me here. (Apologies that the site’s so grim).
Minimum for online donations is $25 I’m afraid, but let me know if you’d like to give less and we can work out [...]
Ah yes, this is clearly going to run and run.
Now that La Palin is talking in a limited way to select media outlets about her resignation and the hot topic, whether she thinks she’ll run for national office in 2010, a whole new raft of contradictory nonsense and non-sequitur rambling has drifted within range of [...]
Sarah Palin’s unquestionably odd decision not merely not to seek re-election next year, but actually to resign this month hit on Friday, a day which, it’s been noted by many, was a holiday and when most Americans were off work, chilling with family, and assembling Home Depot barbecues ahead of the 4th. A slow news [...]
For all the very many years I’ve been coming to the US, the total number of States I’ve visited is relatively small, and is mostly comprised of states close to or on one coast or the other. By My reckoning, it’s thirteen all told.
But today added to that as I’m briefly in Missouri, and if [...]
Ooooh, this is an odd one.
A solitary worker operates a moon base which is the hub for a Helium-3 farming operation at a time when Helium-3, provided by the Lunar Corporation, has solved Earth’s fuel problems. His only company is a computer/robot with the voice of Kevin Spacey and a display that conveys its ‘emotions’ [...]
It’s an odd time, considering it’s immediately post-Pride and the 40th Anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, which kick-started the gay rights movement (as it was then called). This weekend, the same weekend that San Francisco was demonstrating that it’s a hugely inclusive city, police officers raided a new gay bar in Fort Worth, Texas, arresting [...]
Well! It’s frankly astonishing that I’ve spent so much time in San Francisco over the years and never been here for Pride before, but it’s true.
That sad ommission has now been rectified with a fabulous day of Parade-watching and event-going in brilliant sunshine and wonderfully high spirits.
The Parade, I have to say, is long. It [...]
Obviously a tragic loss after the early fightback against her cancer, and only the day after it was reported that she and Ryan O were going to be married.
But also poor Farrah because now that freak Michael Jackson has also died today, no one’s going to give a damn about her.
