Kama Navel-Gazing: Is It What Being Queer Is All About?

[What I am about to say in this post may come across as controversial, as unreasonable and probably as anti-queer? Please feel free to disagree with me and let me know what you think. I'd rather stir a debate than keep quiet.] Navel-gazing, I said: the narcissistic act of always looking at oneself, at staring at ones figure in the mirror and telling oneself: "I am important, I am important and I want the world to turn its gaze on me..." I acknowledge that I am narcissistic in many ways a… Continue

Bill Perdue 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

Brian No More Money to Anti-Progressive Democrats

I think we should support this, and you should convince everyone you know to sign on. The Democrats are playing to the Right and sucking up to the insurance industry because they think they can get away with it and no one is standing up to them. I have always believed that we need to go even further, and, as I've said before, divest ALL funds from ALL Democratic candidates--even the progressive ones. But I understand I'll get a lot of pushback on that one. This is a good first step.… Continue

GRAY QUEERS ASSOCIATION Canadian Senior Queers Are Better Off Than American Senior Queers!

The next time you overhear some pessimistic fool whine, ”Life is all downhill after forty," I suggest you give into temptation and bitch slap that fool right into next week. NO...WAIT! I’m kidding, violence is never the answer. Instead, simply enlighten that misinformed simpleton to the treasure trove of information and services that CARP (Canadian Association for Retired Persons has to offer Canada’s aging population which currently consists of nearly fifteen million people, aged 45 and ove… Continue

Jamie UC flash mob scheduled for Tuesday

It has been five years for Ohio, one year for California and one week for Maine. Citizens in these areas have been stripped of their rights under the guise of defending marriage. It’s time to change that. For Tuesday, Nov. 10, University of Cincinnati students have planned a flash mob and silent protest in response. A flash mob is a brief assembly of people, from seemingly out of no where, who freeze in a position that represents what that particular issue means to them. This is not your ordin… Continue

Mark Daniel Snyder Why Kucinich Voted NO on Health Care Reform

Congressman Dennis Kucinich after voting against H.R. 3962 addresses why he voted NO, stating: "We have been led to believe that we must make our health care choices only within the current structure of a predatory, for-profit insurance system which makes money not providing health care. We cannot fault the insurance companies for being what they are. But we can fault legislation in… Continue

QueerToday Anti-Women's Rights Amendment to Health Care Passes House

"November 7, 2009 — This evening, the House of Representatives voted to adopt the Stupak/Pitts amendment. Planned Parenthood condemns this unacceptable addition to the health care reform bill that, if enacted, would result in women losing health benefits they have today. Simply put, the Stupak/Pitts amendment will restrict women’s access to abortion coverage in the private health insurance market, undermining the ability of women to purchase private health plans that cover abortion, even if they… Continue

Jeff Yablan 13 (Lucky?) Years

I have been an advocate for the medical use of marijuana ever since 1996. I have seen numerous instances, not only in myself, but in others, where marijuana has made all the difference in their health. And for the serious illnesses, most people agree. Now here we are, 13 years later, and do we really have the safe and affordable access we wanted? Many do, but unfortunately, many do not. There are a great many AIDS and other patients who can not afford all the expenses that are required for hea… Continue
