Further Thoughts on Marriage & Sexual Difference
2008-06-24 18:54:00 I don’t consider myself a supporter of gay marriage (even though I will effectively be voting for gay marriage this fall) largely because that institution has long served to bring together two people of different genders in a lifelong sexually exclusive union. I have mentioned this notion in numerous blog posts and devoted these ... More About: Marriage , Thoughts , Gay Marriage , Sexual , Difference
Another Gay Hillary Supporter Against Obama
2008-06-24 18:05:00 It seems now that not a day goes past without my learning of yet another gay Hillary Supporter ill at ease with his party’s presumptive presidential nominee. This trend of gay Democrats opposed to Obama seems has become a national phenomenon. A reader just alerted me to a Washington Blade article reporting that one of the ...

2008-06-24 13:18:00 Sunday night, when for the first time in several weeks, I finally had an evening free, I got around to sorting my notes.

Straight Writer Decries ?Islamist? Intolerance of Gays
2008-06-24 12:50:00 It seems that all too often gay political organizations are reluctant to address the anti-gay attitudes at the core of radical Islamism. They seem sometimes to style themselves as a part of a “Coalition of the Oppressed,” allied with all those at odds with Western governments and societies. But, some do get it, even figures ...

Men Aren?t Pigs
2008-06-23 23:58:00 Among the many troubling things the non-monogamous “married” man Eric Erbelding said to the New York Times was his repetition of the refrain we hear all too often, particularly from gay men, that “Men are pigs.“ Granted, given our natural inclination to (for lack of better term) to “spread our seed,” we men do seem to ...

Return of the Sensible Sullivan?
2008-06-23 20:00:00 Shortly after I first discovered Andrew Sullivan ’s writing in the New Republic in 1989, i started reading his work with great alacrity.

Liberal Law Professors ?Victims? Of BDS
2008-06-23 13:17:00 “We must try to hold Bush administration leaders accountable in courts of justice. And we must insist on appropriate punishments, including, if guilt is found, the hangings visited upon top German and Japanese war-criminals in the 1940’s.” - Lawrence Velvel, Dean of the Massachusetts School of Law at Andover (The Raw Story) Well, ain’t this a ...

Betting on John McCain (to Get More than 30% of Gay Vote)
2008-06-22 04:24:00 Back during the 2004 presidential campaign, the gay media, indeed all media, all but ignored gay Republicans (indeed all gay Americans) intending to vote for President Bush. I guess they assumed the number would be small because Log Cabin had failed to endorse the Republican nominee that year. All were surprised to see exit polls ...

2008-06-20 16:20:00 Shortly after posting my piece, Will Gay Marriage Help Tame Men?s ?Piggishness??, I considered contacting the leading national gay organizations, California groups and other individuals at the forefront of the gay marriage debate to ask them how they felt Eric Erbelding’s comments in the New York Times might impact the movement for gay marriage, particularly ...

Life?s Little Ironies: McClellan Wrote a Book, McCurry Didn?t
2008-06-20 11:00:00 Funny that the White House Press Secretary who helped facilitate an Administration’s decline in the polls writes a book while the one who helped save his boss from having a public relations disaster sink him doesn’t.

More Narrow-minded Prejudice against Gay Republicans
2008-06-19 19:10:00 This morning, while surfing the web, I chanced on yet another piece on a left-wing site attacking gay Republicans . This writer, the Huffington Post’s Gene Stone, must have thought himself particularly clever when he came up with the title for his April 2006 post, The Gay Republican: Oxymoron, or Just Moron?. But, all ... More About: Prejudice
Barack Obama?s Sister Souljah Opportunity
2008-06-19 17:23:00 Back in June of 1992 when speaking to a gathering of Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow Coalition, then-presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Bill Clinton, repudiated the African-American hip-hop artist/activist Lisa Williamson (AKA Sister Souljah) for her comments suggesting blacks should stop killing blacks and should instead “have a week” where they “kill white people.” This became the first “Sister ...

Barack Obama: Typical Politician
2008-06-19 10:57:00 I can’t say I’m surprised. Presumptive Democratic Presidential nominee Barack Obama has opted out of the public campaign finance system. Not that I don’t support his decision to forego public funding of his campaign. I would rather presidential campaigns didn’t drink from the federal trough. What this does show is that despite his ...

Gay Marriage Roundup
2008-06-19 06:22:00 Despite my opposition to court-mandated gay marriage, I thought it would be appropriate to highlight some developments this week from California and beyond. First, some personal stories of the first-day of marriage ceremonies in San Francisco are chronicled at a website called the “Experience Project.” The energy inside was very different from the energy outside.

Democrats Go All ?Hugo Chavez?To Solve US Energy Needs
2008-06-18 21:36:00 Good heavens…. House Democrats responded to President’s Bush’s call for Congress to lift the moratorium on offshore drilling. This was at an on-camera press conference fed back live. Among other things, the Democrats called for the government to own refineries so it could better control the flow of the oil supply.

Will Gay Marriage Help Tame Men?s ?Piggishness??
2008-06-18 18:48:00 Before Andrew Sullivan decided that the purpose of gay marriage was to confer “dignity” on gay relationships (a definition ironically bought by the California Supreme Court), he made perhaps the most solid social argument for extending state recognition of marriage to same-sex couples. In his landmark 1989 essay, “Here Comes the Groom,” what he called a ... More About: Marriage , Gay Marriage
The Spiritual Intimacy Sex Should Afford
