How Twitter has changed the Blogosphere, but not...
Twitter has changed the blogosphere by fundamentally shifting the appeal of casual sharing from blogs to Twitter itself. Where as once upon a time everyone wanted or eventually had a blog to share their thoughts, today much of that has shifted to Twitter. via inquisitr.com
I think this is quite true. I actually struggle now with blogging, where before it came so easy to me. Now, when I...
Obama signs hate crimes bill into law
President Obama on Wednesday signed a law that makes it a federal crime to assault an individual because of his or her sexual orientation or gender identity.

This is huge, because it’s a giant VISIBLE step from our national government that gays, lesbians, and transgender people are United States citizens and are not second class. They are deserving of civil rights and...

A disgusting homophobic story from my morning...
Today, something happened that absolutely disgusted me.
I was at Starbucks buying my regular everyday Chai Latte. In line directly before me was a little old man, and in front of him was a young man with a U.S. Army outfit on. The older man tapped the younger on the shoulder and said, “Hey there, I just wanted to thank you for what you do for our country” and shook his hand. The...

So says twitter and aol. must be true! How awful. She’s won quite a few emmy’s for her contributions to the show, if i’m not mistaken. Why leave that behind?
NOOOOOO!

Obama picks MN woman as 1st openly gay US marshal
libertyavenue:
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama has nominated a Minnesota policewoman to become the first openly gay person to serve as a U.S. marshal.
Sharon Lubinski is an assistant chief in the Minneapolis Police Department, where she has worked for 20 years.
Obama has had a rocky relationship with gay activists, who want him to end the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy on gays....

Amazon: Buy Physical, Get Digital Free, Please?
It’s no secret that I love my Kindle app for the iPhone. I don’t actually own the Kindle physical device, because the advantages for the iPhone app for me are that it’s something I *always* have with me, and it’s backlit for nighttime reading. I’ve bought many books for it and I’ve read some awfully huge books on it, such as A Song of Ice and Fire series by...

Glee’s Chris Colfer Comes Out to The Advocate
Your character, Kurt, is the show’s fashionista and a key member of New Beginnings. How similar was your high school experience in Clovis, Calif.? It was similar in the sense that I was definitely teased a lot in high school and I was definitely at the bottom of the food chain: total underdog, complete “Gleek.” I was never like Kurt at all; I wish I was now that I watch the show, but I was...

U.S. District Judge Adalberto Jordan dismissed a lawsuit yesterday, essentially finding that the Jackson Memorial Hospital was within its rights to leave a dying woman alone while denying her present and immediate family to visit her, be updated on her condition, or even to provide the hospital with medically necessary information. via blog.mattalgren.com

The Higher Lifetime Costs of Being a Gay Couple
Our goal was to create a hypothetical gay couple whose situation would be similar to a heterosexual couple’s. So we gave the couple two children and assumed that one partner would stay home for five years to take care of them. We also considered the taxes in the three states that have the highest estimated gay populations — New York, California and Florida. We gave our couple an income of...

Here she is in all of her glory.
There’s really nothing negative you can say about her. Not only is she beautiful, confident, sassy, and stands up for what she believes is right - she’s also damn talented. I have nothing but respect for her. And now that she’s not touring with Kanye, I’m definitely going to see her live. I like supporting artists who are about...
