Nice work! I would have loved to have been there.
At least we have universal healthcare over here...but the issues of depression and youth suicide in the Queer community here just suck and never get covered of course.
Neither does the homeless iss…

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.
