Embracing a Teaching Moment
As I was sifting through the 365Gay news headlines today, the blurb for “Those Who Can, Teach” caught my eye: “The Family Research Council’s attack on Kevin Jennings should inspire us to a teachable moment. ”

I spent a part of this afternoon at a panel discussion put together by the Ali Forney Center to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall riots.

Pepsi: Going for the Guy

Friday Geek Out: Pride
This weekend New York City closes out 2008 Pride Week with the March down 5th Avenue into the Village. The 2008 theme–”Live Love Be”–is quite appropriate in this year where California has taken a huge step forward with same-sex marriage. And, honestly, what more could you ask out of life than to be able to [...]
