our time is now...

ok, i promise this isn't going to become a "big gay blog". pam spaulding and joe.my.god and so many others do it so much better than i ever could.

that said, the issue of glbt equality is very personal for me and i would be remiss if i didn't jump into the fray while "we" are in the limelight. who knew that glbt-related issues would be vying for equal coverage (at least in the progressive blogodrome) with O's first SCOTUS nominee.

i realized just how much coverage glbt issues were getting today, when i made my daily foray into the land of huffington (not to mention my subsequent foray to the "big orange monster", aka Daily Kos). following are linky's to the articles "all things gay" from the front page and the politics page...keep in mind, this is JUST TODAY, just huffpost:

thanks, dan choi, for putting a face on so many of the issues of importance to the glbt community in addition to your valor in standing up to dadt!

wanda on the first lady...

perhaps one of the funniest (and most accurate assessments of the msm's veiled racism) conversations wanda sykes has had with leno.



leno makes a great point that wanda can do the neck crank/finger snap joke and he can't.

i'll take double standards for $1000, alex.
