Equality 2010 →
marcovhv:
This isn’t about gay vs. straight. It’s not about religion. This is about love and equality. If you value human rights and feel that protecting minorities is one of the things that makes our country great, please join us and vote “YES” for marriage equality in 2010.
Now go sign it.

Second Life for Gamers
I haven’t logged into a traditional game (MMO or singleplayer) in weeks. I’m feeling like a pretty sad excuse for a gamer, but I’ve been having a really good time in various virtual worlds as of late. I finally *get* Second Life. I understand why it’s addicting, and why people spend so much time there. I have never been bored in Second Life, there is always something to...

Marriage equality and transgender issues
This is exactly why it is so ridiculously silly that there are laws that prohibit humans from marrying any human they want. Let’s take California for example. If two men want to get married, they can’t. However - if one goes through the necessary requirements for a legal gender change (which involves one surgery) in CA - they can have a perfectly legal opposite-sex marriage. Call it a...

Creative Activism
The San Diego LGBT community is freaking rad, have I said that before? Constantly, there are new and interesting ways to promote equality popping up left and right. My latest favorite is Guerrilla Queer Bar. The idea behind this is that instead of gathering for solidarity at a local queer bar in Hillcrest, North Park, or University Heights (gay “home turf”) there will be a day...

Whirlwind of news
Wow, I feel like there is a SLEW of things that I should be writing about right now, and have little time to actually write about them. So, it’s going to be linkspam with very little meaningful commentary. First and foremost - Maine has legalized gay marriage today. A big win, especially D.C. now recognizing gay marriages from elsewhere, and New Hampshire hot on the heels. I’m 50%...
Mint Juleps, beach rides, and gay bookstores
Whew, what an exhausting weekend. Friday night, we were all geared up to go to a party at Ari’s house, but Luke felt like he had a fever. He was quite sick, so we ended up just playing a little Free Realms and then going to sleep. Saturday morning I prepared for a Kentucky Derby get together at my place, which ended up pretty decent. It was the first time 3 of my coworkers/friends had...
Derby picks
Tomorrow is the Kentucky Derby, and we’re having a few friends over for a Derby watching event complete with big hats and Mint Juleps. :) I’m putting down some cash on Hold Me Back and Chocolate Candy. Both of these horses are mid to long shots, at 15-1 and 20-1 respectively. I never find much of a point in betting on the favorites when I’m only spending $50 or so, so...
