Voting on Equal Rights is a National Disgrace
With a record of 0-31 in marriage initiatives, now may be a good opportunity to review our complicity in a process that doles out or strips away basic rights by majority vote.

Was it bigotry that defeated gay marriage in Maine and California, or was it ignorance? Films like The Campaign, about the fight for gay rights, require our attention and our support.

The ACLU is back in court in Florida challenging the constitutionality of that state's thirty-year old law which prohibits lesbians and gay men from adopting.

Prejean might want to take a brief look at Milk and think about how her legacy will hold up over the long haul. It is not the hero of that movie she resembles. No offense intended.

Carrie Prejean has become a sort of anti-Susan Boyle. It isn't just that she's a bigot, per se. There is no shortage of bigots. They just usually don't wear tiaras.

Watching the film on the 30th anniversary of Milk's tragic and unnecessary death ... I was reminded that while we've come far, we really haven't gotten anywhere.

The most poignant aspect of Milk is that the story it tells -- of the fight against ignorance and intolerance -- is, unlike the hairdos and the Haight couture in the film -- all too current.

There she was, on the screen, in Milk. Anita Bryant, speaking out about "the homosexual agenda." Back in 1977, she was hugely controversial.

Bryant became the gay community's public enemy No. 1 for leading a movement to overturn antidiscrimination laws. I called her office to find out what she thinks about the upcoming movie.
