This Week in Gayness: Call In Gay Tomorrow

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

 

An Iowa court has agreed to entertain challenges to the state's discriminatory gay marriage law.

Here's more info on that transgender prostitute who was beaten to death in a Memphis jail.

An 18-year-old who is transitioning from female to male has some devastating words for high schools, their students, and their administrators.

Apparently, Washington State residents are unaware of the separation of church and state-- or the fact that "religion is superstition and myth," as an infamous stolen sign indicated.

Don't forget: a Day Without A Gay is Wednesday. Read more about that here.

An art student at Brigham Young University saw his art project, which featured gay students from the school, censored and possibly even removed.

And some hope for the future:

North Carolina law does prohibit gay marriage here, but GOP attempts to enshrine it in the state constitution have so far failed.

Carrboro has had a long history of being gay-friendly. It was one of the first communities in North Carolina to offer health benefits to the same-sex partners of municipal workers. Openly gay former Mayor Mike Nelson served five terms and is now an Orange County commissioner.

So it did not really surprise many in this state when the other day the Carrboro city council has passed a resolution supporting gay marriage and sent copies of it off to the state and federal government.

Hey, every step in the right direction is deserving of applause...

So you had to pick the most conservative paper (short of the Spokesman-Review) to quote. Yeah, the capitol allows a "holiday tree" and a menorah as well as a sign from atheists. Which got stolen and returned to a *surprise* country music station. Maybe a college prank/military prank, maybe just idiots? I think that we (in Seattle, mainly) should just enjoy the friggin' holiday season, whether we're celebrating a holiday that was co-opted from the pagans by the Catholic Church, celebrating a minor Jewish holiday that's been expanded upon to go head-to-head with Christmas, or celebrating the time of year when we all get to stay inside, snuggle and eat comfort food. Just eat, drink, and be a little friggin' merry!
