Sorry for the typos. As you can see I can't spell worth a damn and I got an itchy add comment finger before using spell check.
Hi Richard.
You and Mark are exaclty right. We are everywhere, but the huge difference is that this time around, compared to the earlier radicalizaiton of the 60's and 70's is that we're self organized and will fight as equals with unions, minority…
Thank you Bill. How well we both remember that most of us around at the time of the Vietnam war had come out of many other movements. I was in the anti-war movement way before I joined the GLF. I also worked with the homeless via, the Catholic Worke…
While it is truly inspiring that as members of society we “queers”, like all good and conscientious citizens, have a social duty to fight for “social justice” for all, in our current society unfortunately this rather nefarious duty is trumped by the…
For the record, as the founder of QueerToday.com - this organization was founded on the principles of social justice. That means examining the interconnectedness of our struggles in a way that lifts us all up together. That means ending all wars and…
Well, a name at last, and attached to such a lovely title. Our Paul's an Executive Director /b> no less. I'll let you know when I'm impressed by self-appointed leaders. It may not be for a millenia or two.
Paul is a genuine liberal. The real thing.…
Well, it would seem that I underestimated Bill’s reasoning’s for wanting to hijack the LGBTTI2QA movement. (IE –please notice I “did not use” the acronym GLBT) It would seem that not only is the “anti-war movement” interested in recruiting gays but…

Someone at GRAY QUEERS ASSOCIATION said that my encouraging GLBT folks to support the antiwar movement and oppose sellouts like SLDN was a "prime example of people attempting to dilute and hijack the LGBTTI2QA movement for their own diverse purposes…
Thanks so much for the reply Bill. I'm going to think on this tonight.
Hi Anthony.
Things are heating up. There's a general radicalization based on the wars and on economic collapse that'll create profound changes and for the first time it includes huge numbers of out LGBT folks. However this radicalization isn't guar…
This is just another prime example of people attempting to dilute and hijack the LGBTTI2QA movement for their own diverse purposes (IE- In this particular case lets recruit the gay movement in support of the stop the war movement.)
If the LGBTTI2QA…
I am very distressed by the actions of Obama. What I think is really distressing is my generation feels so helpless in the face of everything. I was talking to my good friends yesterday and the apathy that our generation has extends to every sector…

"This is a very dangerous escalation." The last time I wrote that was in the spring of 1970.

The killer ayatollahs are at it again.
The ongoing fight of young workers, students, women and our own LGBT brothers and sisters in Iran to destroy the rightwing pro-business theocracy of the ayatollahs had been met by a tenfold increase in government repression.
Protesters are being murdered both on the streets and following sham trials, beatings and torture. This is a regime that’s tortured and killed thousands of young gay men and boys, feminists and lesbians, union organizers and students. And now they’ve added a nasty new twist… Continue

What the march means.
It was, as predicted, an anti-Obama, anti-Democrat party and anti-Barney Frank rally. Given their record or betrayals and hostility it really couldn’t have been anything else. Democrats opposed it from day one but all the carping and whining of its White House and DNC detractors was in vain. It was a success and according to Jones, Andy Towle and police roughly 250,000 marched in spite of hard economic times and a short organizing time.
It reflected some, but not all of the diversity of the LGB… Continue

Paul F. Cogan said… - Blogs and blogging have made a tremendous impact within the gay movement. Through our use of blogs such as Queer Today I would like to acknowledge and thank everyone who has joined me in blogging on Queer Today and I hope collectively we will continue to help to make future significant contributions to the movement.
As has become clear over the past few years, blogs such as ours provide journalists and activists like us an opportunity to effectively report on issues that mainstream and print media do not cover. Our online commentary not only raises awareness and visibility to issues important to the movement but also allows us to force a more nuanced and deeper reporting on these often complex and difficult issues.
For all of our brothers and sisters who rarely see themselves represented in the media or who live in places without a strong gay movement, our blog creates a deeply needed sense of community for them. Our blog functions as a modern day town crier, bringing all of us together regardless of where we live or who we know, to share information and knowledge about our movement. Our blog provides a forum where we can report, debate, consider and call our movement into action.
The information imparted over our blog - both with the citizen journalists writing about issues important to the movement and bloggers like each of you whose comments add texture to the stories – will engender ability for online organizing and activism like no other media supporting the movement.
Our blog can deliver news to thousands of gay people as that news is unfolding, engaging them as participants in our movement instead of passive readers. Often our blog is where news about the movement begins.
So, the next time you are at your computer, click on the book marked button for Queer Today. Come into the blog and see the latest news of the movement and add your voice with a blog entry in support of the gay movement.
