http://transpolitical.blogspot.com/2009/07/syracuse-sucks-if-youre-trans-and.html "It's just one of those days When you don't wanna wake up! Everything is fucked, everybody sucks!" — Break Stuff, Limp Bizkit How furious am I today? Let me count the ways .... On second thought, no. Who's listening? Precious few. Yeah, cumulative things get to be a rabid bear when they're piled atop each other and compounded. Starting off the day fighting doesn't help. Nice sticky heat… Continue

It's Marriage Mania In Maniacal America

"I'm goin' coconuts but least I'm goin' my way. I'll probably be here when that sun goes down. Goin' crazy, ooh, from the heat!" — Goin' Crazy, David Lee Roth Maybe it's just the unending heatwave in Texas, where any day below triple digits actually feels slightly chilly, but it seems to my overcooked brain that both sides on this same-sex marriage tug-of-war are coming down with a chronic case of the wackies. Or maybe it's just a sizzling hot summer everywhere and it'… Continue

The Difference Between Trans And Gay

"I'm tired of hearing people talk about me, Telling me I'm a disgrace to society. Just look at yourself clearly in the mirror. I'm not much of a sinner! I'm just following my feelings." — Gay Pride, Omar Kamo A couple things stuck in my mind recently for different reasons. One was a documentary done on the Montrose, Houston's storied gayborhood. The other was a photo of a new mama cat with kittens, all contentedly laying in my friend's closet. The documentary inspired… Continue

Chastity Bono Transitions, The Media Circus Follows Right Behind

It appears the tabloids were true. We today got confirmation that after his 40th birthday, Chaz (formerly Chastity Bono) has begun the transition process from female to male.

"He is proud of his decision and grateful for the support and respect that has already been shown by his loved ones. It is Chaz's hope that his choice to… Continue

You Can Marry, But You Can't Work

"I look at you and see the passion eyes of May. Oh, but am I ever gonna see my wedding day?" — Wedding Bell Blues, Fifth Dimension It became official yesterday afternoon when New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch signed a bill into law, making New Hampshire the sixth state to allow same-sex marriage. Lynch, a Democrat, personally opposed gay marriage but earlier said he would view the issue "through a broader lens." Virtually all of New England now allows same-sex marriage, wi… Continue
