I have been working for equality for homosexuals on and off for about 36 years now, a perspective that reaches back to the very beginning of the modern movement for homosexual equality, which began in June of 1969 with the riots started at the Stonewall Inn bar in Greenwich Village by drag queens who refused …

Anchoress, attacking politicians through their children is wrong, period
I know I am late to the discussion of the “Family Guy” episode that took a shot at former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin through a character with Down’s syndrome identifying herself as the “daughter of the governor of Alaska.” But I have to say my piece. The dear Anchoress — I am never ironic or …

I just read Michelle Malkin’s post that Joe Wilson will be the first member of Congress to answer a State of the Union address with a live video post from …
Brown WON!!!
moar funny pictures Massachusetts member of Congress Barney Frank had a much classier reaction to Scott Brown’s victory than I expected, which is quoted at the American Spectator blog by Philip Klein: Rep.

UPDATED — We've got to throw them off their game — here's how
Conservatives and Republicans have got to throw the Democrats off their game of destroying the United States as a meritocratic, capitalistic democratic republic. Here’s our game-changer: we must recall the Democratic and independent U.S. senators who will be running for re-election in 2012 and 2014. It’s not enough to focus on the 2010 elections, assuming …

Kathy Griffin, fiscal conservative unaware
Kathy Griffin made my late life partner, Margaret Ardussi, laugh when she was in pain and dying, as much as I’d ever heard her laugh in our 20+ years together. We watched her first HBO special, “My Life on the D-list,” again and again in the fall of 2004 in the weeks before Margaret died. …

Punksmacking for Gay Patriot, bitchslapping for Peggy Noonan
Gay Patriot fell into bad company yesterday, by which I mean Peggy Noonan, who is too elitist and envious to understand the miracle that is Sarah Palin, and Noonan persuaded him that our nation’s ills are due to us pampered, spoiled Baby Boomers.

D.C. Tea Party was AWESOME! Estimated TWO MILLION served! (UPDATED: 1.2 million)
Margaret and I participated in a number of gay rights/homosexual equality and pro-choice marches on Washington in the 1980’s and 1990’s in Washington, D.C., and I have NEVER been in such a densely packed march as the 9/12 Tea Party march today! Within minutes I got separated from the women I rode down with in …
