Frank Rich can be the Best Man at my Marriage There's no doubt in my mind that the extensive media coverage and social conversation of the past four-year history of this latest action to remove gay/lesbian discrimination has been effective in diluting the homo-hating potions and superstitious invectives thrown at us. The echos of previous court decisions that have been heard across the country will prove too powerful for the cobwebs of prejudice and animosity to resist

Fatherhood Dreams Though parenting is not on my life list of things to do before I die I found this DVD expanding and challenging to my civil rights activism. It isn't enough to just be comfortable about what I find necessary in my situation, it's also important to know there are many avenues to a productive life that advance peace and happiness for others.

The "Propriety" of Mocking the Founder of Islam The parallel of self-righteous Islamic fundamentalists threatening those who would mock it and the use by Christian fundamentalists of the police power of the state to block gay and lesbian citizens from protection of their rights and property is striking.

Which Door Do You Want Between You and Your Civil Rights? Neither the accepting or objecting denominations have a right to interpose religious beliefs between the sanctified doors of their houses of worship and the county court house doors of the respective states.

Substitute Language Must be Submitted to Re-Educate Deranged Oklahoma Senator Even though he lives in the state made famous by humorist Will Rogers who never met a man he didn't like, Sen Russell never met a gay man or woman he could like.

Hall-la-lou-lou-ing for Oklahoma's Senator Tom Coburn: Congress's Worst Person? As Henry II is alleged to have said to his henchmen in regard to the Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Becket, who had been blocking some of Henry's governing and expropriating plans, "Is there no one to rid me of this meddlesome priest?" Odd isn't it how frequently, almost inevitably, religious piety and the process of making civil law become nearly conjoined twins.

There's No Excuse, on Earth or Anywhere Else How valuable it would have been to be a crucifix on the wall when that discussion took place. It rivals Richard Nixon's 18 1/2 minute tape gap during the Watergate scandal. But there is still extant documentation and living witnesses to this inexcusable violation of the trust of children, both orphans and those with living parents.

Oklahoma Women Retain Control Over Their Own Bodies HB 1595 was the latest attempt to separate women from their bodily integrity by allowing politicians, both male and female, to practice medicine without a license.

Gay Blood Weaker than Water Why is it that one can risk, and sometimes lose, one's life, pay taxes, contribute to a better society, but if that person is gay, lives in a gay-negative state, the obituaries and official press release from your employer ignore your family life?

Where in the Constitution is there an orientation test ? Preaching and teaching about the sanctity of marriage from an institution that knowingly shuffled child abusers around in a holy shell game of deception is beyond the overused word of hypocrisy. It's more clearly described as a license--a permit to do what it pleases in regard to civil criminal activity, above the law, and above the clouds in their minds, wreaking emotional and physical damage on innocent people. Just how ch

Oklahoma Homo-Haters Trying Their Best for an Arrest It would seem that biblical devotion to literalness and inerrancy precludes the ability to read, interpret, and understand this law. We know that bible fundies aren't really interested in truth, but just in maintaining their flat-earth dream world made in their own image.

Feeling Like a Lost Raffle Ticket? As we GLBTs emerge sweaty and disheveled from our post-coital ruckus in Maine, I'm reminded that this is America and everything is for sale, including our gay/lesbian equality--that's the American way, you know. You want to know how we're going to sell it? What's it going to be: always the bridesmaid, never the bride; always the best man, never the groom?

Gay Men Should Quake and Quail? Only when court decisions go against the Joke-lahoman's perceived order of labor kow-towing to management, does it find the rule of law to be inconvenient and flawed. Along with the School Board, I think the editorial staff of the Joke-lahman needs some remedial reading instruction.

GOPer Okie Rep Fallin's not for Vegetarians Ms. Fallin's event menu was not for the vegetarians. She served red meat to the red necks, boiler plate to the beer can crushers, and a cold shoulder to any possibility of a different POV.
