2010 or 2012

Pretty much since Proposition 8 passed here in California back in November, there’s been a drive to get a repeal motion in front of California’s voters.  The various voices of the LGBT community is the state (and beyond) have, over the last nine months, been tying themselves in knots setting up discussions/meetings/polls to try and [...]

Obama Shafts Gays

A while back I mentioned that in light of the passage of Proposition 8 here in California, and similar political debates around the US, I’d probably be keeping a political angle here for a while, then I went quiet and it didn’t really happen.
That changes today.
Today is the day the the Obama Adminstration, the Administration [...]

Prideful

This is my first Pride month as a San Francisco resident.  Pride weekend itself is the last weekend of the month, with the Dyke March on the Saturday, the parade on the Sunday and a two-day celebration event at the Civic Center.
The theme for the event this year relates to that subject which is particularly [...]

Proposition 8 - Back In The News

Way back after the successful passage of Proposition 8 by 52% of Californians who voted, I said I would write up my thoughts on the way the ‘No on Prop 8′ campaign had been run.  In the end I didn’t do that because there was a rush to do so in other channels and by [...]

And when I say I’m adding to the meme - it hardly needs my support.

Odd Week

Been a bit all over the shop - had the trip to Santa Barbara, when I drove through an area that two days later was engulfed in flames, then on Wednesday night we went to the cinema to see Role Models, which I’ll review separately, before, yes my friends, we are indeed this sad: lining [...]

Good Day/Bad Day

So I watched with some awe and not a little wonder at the point when the networks inevitably called the election for Barack Obama, recalling the ups and downs, the out-and-out racism, the horror of Sarah Palin, the horrible worry that despite everything, it might all go terribly wrong in the ballot booths. And [...]

To My Fellow Californians:

 

An Unexpected Treat

Happy Hallowe’en for yesterday.  Hope you had a good and safe one.  And Happy November.
Despite living in a fairly residential area and having seen several groups of Trick or Treaters up and down the street, they seemed to keep avoiding our place, so the big basket of sweet things on the hall table was mostly [...]
