In an effort to clear the haze around the murky medical marijuana situation in the United States, Attorney General Eric Holder on Monday issued what many are hailing as a huge loosening of the ropes on the 14 states with medical marijuana clinics.

Monday, October 12, 2009, and not one thing on this wintry morning has changed for one gay person in America in terms of equality. In fact, in some states in the country, it continues, without impediment, to get worse. Maine legalized same sex marriage, and now a fierce ballot battle...

"I don't know why President Barack Obama is firing me, I want to do my job, I want to do my duty," Lt. Dan Choi recently wondered aloud while waiting to go off to an event on 9/11. This 28-year-old Korean American was at Ground Zero on this Sept. 11,...

I am leaving the Democratic party. It is with heavy heart that I change my affiliation to Independent. I'm 46, have been a registered Democrat since I was 18. My parents were from the East Coast, and proud Democrats. But it took the Democrats taking over, being in power, for...

There's a wacked out reward system going on in world culture these days and the concept of responsibility and/or repercussions is as obtuse as the Octomom getting a reality TV show.

A cop, who may or may not be racist, arrests America's foremost African American scholar, who may or may...

While live theatre may be a dying art, Legally Blonde: The Musical is breathing new life in to a new generation's theatre experience.

Today, August 12, 2009, the first openly gay man to be elected in the state of California, Harvey Milk, will be given the Medal of Freedom Award by President Barack Obama. It's a well deserved award, one too many years in the making. But like everything else done for or...

The King of Pop died the same day as Farrah Fawcett, eclipsing her loss that June 25th and turning the entire music world on its ear. The most famous living Pop star in the world drops of cardiac arrest while rehearsing...

Today, my first poster girl, Farrah Fawcett died. In the 9am hour on a June Gloom day the smile and hair that set the tone for a generation and the body and face that created the gold standard of movie star posters died of the Big C, cancer.

And it...

In this day and age of astronomical sums being bandied about like pocket change, a billion dollars -- or even four billion -- may not seem like a lot of money. But given that the United States is bleeding to death a billion at a time, when the pot is...

The Democratic Party, as stated, does not exist any longer; in fact, it hasn't for some time. The people that call themselves Democrats, the leaders of the party, have all morphed in to one political animal, part of a larger, non-identified party that proports to stand for something but has...

California Court Proves Theocracy Alive and Well

It's a shame gay means happy, because today in California there's not much for anyone to be happy about, and I mean anyone that knows or understands government or the Constitution of the State or country for that matter.

Today the State Supreme...

Joe the Plumber is queer by his own definition. In the evangelical magazine Christianity Today he stated that "People don't understand the dictionary, it's called queer. Queer means strange and unusual, it's not like a slur, like calling a White guy a honky or anything..." He went on to say...

**It's Not True

The headline "Majority Of Muslims That Attend Mosque Weekly Feel Torturing For Their Cause Is Just" got your attention, didn't it? It's not true, I made it up, but the thought of it probably already angered some. It wouldn't surprise me, however. After all,...

Felony stupidity. National Outrage. International Incident. Terrorizing Act.

National Embarrassment.

Yes, national embarrassment.

The United States, in particular New York City, has not recovered from 9/11 in any way shape or form; in fact, it's obvious most haven't even dealt with it. In fact, it would appear that Osama Bin...

I am an openly gay man and a supporter of same sex marriage and I wish Perez Hilton would shut up. This is a person who is famous for smearing snarky and crude things over celebrity photos and following Brittney's every move. He lives for controversy and is only famous...

Keanu Reeves and Al Unser Jr. have won the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach Celebrity Grand Prix. Reeves won after Raven Simone and Danny Way (a favorite to win) crashed on the route. Each is fine, although their cars may need some major help.
