Catching Up on the News


Friday, November 18th, 2005

With the whole family situation I haven’t been reading queer news lately. Here are a couple of things I missed; this weekend I will catch up on CyDy itself! Also, watch for potential changes around here in the coming months, especially integration with some other parts of CyDy.

  • Those Panthers cheerleaders (you’ve heard about them, right?) got fired for code of conduct violations. Hopefully that has more to do with sex in a public place than it does the fact that it was lesbian sex.
  • Georgetown University, which is local to me, is giving partner benefits to gay employees. This is notable mostly because it’s a Roman Catholic institution!
  • I’m starting to get a little fidgety – PlanetOut just bought The Advocate and Out Magazine. I guess it’s time for queer corporate behemoths to come of age?
  • Former New Jersey governor Jim McGreevey is more out of the closet now. Cool!
