*This applies to everyone reading, not just locals* Integrity and honesty seems to be going out the window more and more every day. I’ve had more than one episode w/paid signature gatherers lying about the petitions they are asking people to sign. I’ve also seen stories all over the national media regarding similar instances. The …

Scurr’ed
It’s no secret I rarely rant about politics. Of course, there are times where I feel compelled to speak up. The current political climate would be hysterical if it wasn’t so incredibly scary. The attack on Prez Obama continues simply because is he is black. I doubt anyone can now deny that racism is alive …

It Gets Better
So I decided to post a video for the It Get’s Better project on youtube. It didn’t turn out as well as I had hoped but I got thru it w/o blubbering too much. Sadly, ever since my last software update, my camera doesn’t work so well. It came out very distorted and grainy. Oh …

Legal
Well, it seems I’m a legal citizen again, even if its only for the time being. With yesterdays ruling on Prop 8, California inches one step closer to being the state I’ve come to love. Even better, the judge’s statement was incredibly well written and based on detailed facts.1 A recent in-depth study of the …

Accept
I got a few very interesting emails from folks who disagreed with my last post. The overall theme was the same as my friend I referred to on FB. I must admit I just don’t understand. When has separate but equal ever worked? How are we ever going to get equal rights under the law …

Coming ‘round
Every time I think I have people figured out, good or bad, someone comes along and surprises me. I should just realize it is an impossible task and learn to roll with the punches. I had a very odd conversation with a co-worker the other day about gay rights, specifically about gay marriage. It was …

WWMD – Coming Out
This is a hard question for me to answer. Having some significant mental (and physical) scars from my own coming-out, it is not something I often look back on fondly. That said, I’ve come a long way over the years and I wish I would have had the options most gay people have today. Q: …

Right or Wrong
As you know, I rarely weigh in on politics (for a reason). However, I’ve been mulling this one over for awhile now. I’m quite sure my opinion is in the minority. Well, that is why its called an opinion. Just like assholes, ever body has one. I’ve been reading a lot of the fall out …

WWMD
This month’s WWMD is a bit heart-wrenching. One of my readers who has never commented confided in me recently. I have his permission to share his question anonymously. Q: I just found out I am HIV-positive. I’m so scared and I feel like my life is over. I feel lost and confused. What should I …

Morality Reloaded
I’m feeling long winded today, you’ve been warned! I’m also touching on a subject I’ve beat a couple times here before. For the best sense of what I’m getting it, you should probably read the previous rant on the old blog. I’m specifically calling attention to an important distinction of the general use of the …
