This is for everyone who claims to care about progressive issues. Telling the Dems to go F*#k themselves will do nothing to move LGBT issues further. Here is what will move LGBT issues further.

Who Is The Enemy for LGBT Rights?

It may be the wrong time to tell gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender folks that the hard work isn’t over. They may not be thrilled to hear that if we are to achieve Equality, we all must double down our efforts, and work in more direct ways by getting engaged in the legislative process.

Civil Rights is a Black Issue

Ancient Organic Particles from Space Discovered

I think Rachel Maddow is rubbing off a bit on me. I think this is the type of story that she really gets excited about. For me as a gay man, interested in equality, the importance of this story is more than simply geekiness however. The greatest force that fuels homophobia and anti-gay sentiments, is an irrational refusal to accept Science and let go of religious junk that stands in the way of true Faith[Read More…]
