Raise your hand if you think the Carolina Panthers cheerleaders staged the whole thing as a publicity stunt. Also, Alaska approves benefits for same sex partners – yay, Alaska! This blog will probably be even more quiet than usual as I am dealing with an unexpected death in my family. I will probably continue updating [...]

This is a good reason for using an unknown sperm donor: he shouldn’t have to pay child support. In Sweden a judge has ordered that a man who donated his sperm to a lesbian couple (who subsequently split up) must pay child support because he is still the legal father of the three children. Now, [...]

I found it quite interesting to compare the results of Equality Forum’s Fortune 500 Project and the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index. According to Equality Forum, 92.2% of Fortune 500 companies protect their employees from discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. Of the 39 companies on the list for not providing this coverage, [...]

I’d like to say I’m surprised by this, but I’m not – not after what happened to me on the cruise. A lesbian couple tried to enter a gay bar in London – G-A-Y Bar, actually – and were turned away by the door staff because they didn’t look “dyke enough.” In an editorial at [...]

This is somewhat shocking – a Canadian girl was expelled from school because her parents are lesbians. It’s a religious school, of course, but the girl herself hadn’t done anything wrong. So much for preaching tolerance, eh? Also, it looks like Olivia is expanding. They’re looking at the market for retirement communities, and might also [...]

I want to write about my experiences on RSVP – let’s just say I was accused all week of being straight, good grief – and I want to check out what’s been happening over at CyDy while I’ve been gone, but for now I am just going to give a link to the New Zealand-based [...]

That case in Utah that I mentioned a few days ago has popped up again, this time on a religious page called LifeSite, where the article is titled Natural Mother Punished By Lower Court While Former Lesbian Partner Gets Visitation Award. Interestingly, the end of that article includes a link to the Salt Lake Tribune’s [...]

Okay, raise your hand if you’re surprised by this: “Although the loss of lives is deeply saddening, this act of God destroyed a wicked city.” Marcavage said. “From ‘Girls Gone Wild’ to ‘Southern Decadence’, New Orleans was a city that had its doors wide open to the public celebration of sin. May it never be [...]

David Crary has written an article for the Associated Press called Gender gap divides U.S. gays, lesbians. It’s a really good article, go check it out. (BTW, I have updated this site to Movable Type 3.2 – let me know if anything looks funky.)
