Thomas C Waters Nominated for Iris Marion Young Award
This morning I received an email, altering me that I have been nominated for the Iris Marion Young Award for Political Engagement.

Transphobia in the LGB community
I think there is clearly some within the LGBT community who express transphobia at anywhere from a very mild to very blatant and offensive level.
Why We Need To Care About the National Organization for Marriage (NOM)

there is a homosexual agenda, and that agenda is to be treated with the same rights, responsibilities, and protections as straight people currently enjoy.
Is NASA To Announce Life on Other Planets?
OK, so this is way off topic for me, but these types of things really get me interested, and so I have to post about this. Science bloggers are going a bit nuts over the vague announcement by NASA on Monday that it will discuss an “astrobiology finding that will impact the search for evidence of extraterrestrial life.†Some writers and bloggers are speculating that it could be a discovery on Mars, which has been[Read More…]
World AIDS Day 2010
I often wonder if there ever will be a day when AIDS will be about as devastating as the common cold. I believe AIDS has changed so much of our culture and the way people relate, share intimacy, build relationships and live their lives.
