What Defines a Community Organization?

Tonight there will be a “townhall meeting”, a 90 minute online forum to address “Prop. 8: The Facts and the Future”. It is hosted by the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Center and will feature its CEO, Lorri Jean. At first glace this seems like a reasonable organization and individual to take charge and...

Ministers in Maine Support Marriage

On Thursday, a coalition of religious leaders in Maine held new conferences to support marriage equality. “We are speaking here today in support of civil marriages for same-sex couples because assuring full human rights for all citizens advances the common good,” said the Rev. Marvin Ellison...

Ex-Mormon Marches Against Prop 8

In the San Diego Reader a straight woman, an “old hippy” and former Mormon, tells of her experience protesting Proposition 8. It’s delightfully full of exploded stereotypes and down-home observations. It made me smile… and tear up a little. I would have made a great flower child...

Civil Disobedience in San Francisco

One of the notable attributes of the protests in response to Proposition 8 is that they have for the most part been peaceful. In all reports I have seen, the police worked with the community to minimize conflict and keep peace and the gay and gay-friendly protesters have not rioted or destroyed property...

A Report from the Los Angeles March

Saturday was both exhilarating and annoying, encouraging and exhausting. What follows are some of my personal observations. According to the Los Angeles Times, the police reported that between 10,000 to 12,000 of the 40,000 anticipated people attended the rally and march at City Hall. (Personally...

The El Coyote Boycott

I’m terribly busy this morning and so I can’t share my perspectives about the El Coyote boycott last night. But until then, here is the LA Times write-up. Don’t believe the part about police in riot gear. Four very friendly and cooperative officers showed up in their usual uniform to...

Warning New Jersey and New York

Delerious over how their campaign of lies succeeded in California, anti-gays are already planning on their next target: Gallagher said anti-gay marriage groups plan to focus next on New Jersey and New York, where the state legislatures are being lobbied to pass laws legalizing same-sex marriage. The...

One Proposal for Going Forward Towards Marriage Equality in California

The voters of California have spoken twice about whether gay citizens are to be considered full citizens of the State, regarding marriage. In 2000, the voters declared with a majority of 61.4% that the state would only recognize marriages between opposite sex couples. And just this week they declared...

Your Effort Matters

Sometimes in the middle of a big campaign we feel like our efforts really won’t make a change. And if we don’t have the time or ability to go to some preordained place and do some authorized activity then we may think that our help isn’t appreciated or even necessary. But sometimes...

To the Woman Who Lives Across the Street and Watched Me Grow Up

I grew up across the street from a soft-hearted Mormon woman (and her late husband) in Ventura, CA. Back during the Prop 22 election she confessed to my mother her guilt and conflict because she felt a “yes” vote was a vote against a gay man down the street she knew personally. Today [.....
