That’s My Middle Name; Don’t Wear It Out

The bitch is back and I am not talking about Elton John. I just saw Karl “The Bitch” Rove on FOX warning conservatives not to harp on Barack Obama’s middle name because it perpetuates the widespread (and accurate) assumption that conservatives are bigoted. I think that Bill Cunningham’s racist and inflammatory comments over Obama’s middle […]

Open Letter From Hillary Clinton To The LGBT Community

From Clinton, this is great too: “As I have traveled around the country these past twelve months, what I sensed in my heart has been confirmed – America is embracing its LGBT sons and daughters with an acceptance and understanding as never before. On the campaign trail, a father of a gay son will ask […]

Open Letter From Barack Obama To The LGBT Community

Here is a message from Obama to all of us! “I’m running for President to build an America that lives up to our founding promise of equality for all – a promise that extends to our gay brothers and sisters. It’s wrong to have millions of Americans living as second-class citizens in this nation. And […]

PETA Passion

Wow this is very interesting! People are super passionate about PETA! They really love them or they really hate them! I guess I would say myself, I don’t always agree with all their tactics, but hell, I just love animals. I can’t help it. I love them. All animals. But mostly dogs, because they are […]

PETA’s Wear Your Own Fur Campaign

I think that PETA has to be one of the most exciting political organizations around. They have a simple mission, to make the world stop the mistreatment of animals, which is a very important cause. They have lots of great ad campaigns with famous people stripping down to show they would rather go naked than […]

What’s The Big Deal About Turbans?

What’s the big deal about turbans? Supposedly the Clinton camp sent a picture of Barack Obama wearing a turban out to conservative websites to re-emphasize the false rumors that he is a Muslim, which is pretty low of them, mostly because of some Americans’ misunderstanding and prejudice against the Islamic faith. People just assume all […]

It’s All About You

In 2004, I was invited by a prominent LGBT political organization to perform at the Democratic National Convention, but just days before the event, I was abruptly dis-invited. I believe it was because at that point, the Kerry camp was trying to avoid controversy. It may have been because I said that I thought Theresa […]

Whatever Happened to Gay Marriage?

Hey everyone! I am blogging once in a while now for CNN so check me out there also! What ever happened to gay marriage? People don’t really talk about it anymore. I fear the issue has just gone away. With all the excitement about a Bush-free world, everyone sort of forgot that we don’t really […]

Coyote

I hike with my two young girl dogs early in the morning, mostly because they expect it, and they both sit on my chest like the winged incubus from “Gothic” until I cannot breathe. A little like waterboarding, this is dogboarding, but it is not torture for information, it is gentle persuasion in order to […]

Ralph

My first true boyfriend is my beautiful manchild German Shepherd mix Ralph, pronounced “Rayfe” like the actor Ralph Fiennes. I got Ralph from the West Valley animal shelter and it was right when “The English Patient” came out. Ralph was such an injured baby. He had a bad wound on his head from unknown causes, […]

Transgender Conference is Killing our Culture?

I am sickened by the casual way in which the right wing media spew forth hatred of homosexuals. Here is the latest call to action from GLAAD referring to a disturbing exchange on “The O’Reilly Factor:” Laura Ingraham claims that Transgender Conference is “Killing Our Culture” on FOX News’ The O’Reilly Factor While guest hosting […]
