"BACK"
Have you ever had a travel companion who displayed more interest in sampling a particular locale’s smorgasbord of available men, than in actually experiencing the full spectrum of delights that a given destination has to offer? Well I certainly have and I find it to be a damn annoying personality defect. While I am the last person to begrudge anyone a little holiday hanky-panky (hell I encourage it), I find it positively insufferable and, moreover incomprehensible, when hooking up becomes anyone’s raison d’etre on holiday.
As we pause this July 4th to remember our nation's fight for independence, the SLDN family asks our friends and supporters to take a moment to reflect upon those who serve our country in the shadows of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." Today, in every corner of the globe, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans are on the frontlines, serving our country. They serve with honor and distinction defending our freedoms while serving in silence.
Of course, Isaiah Washington acted like a horse's ass. But it's amazing to me that he has been fired from Grey's Anatomy by its producers at ABC Television Studios when the network itself doesn't have clean hands on the issue of storylines about homosexuality. I'll go ahead and make the accusation: ABC Entertainment regularly airs programming that is anti-gay.
Do you like your partners to be older than you or are you a bit of a chicken hawk? Does age matter in a relationship? How do you find partners when the scene is geared towards the younger crowd?
It could happen when you have the least amount of time available for it. Someone comes out to you. He may even hit on you. He thinks he wants a lover, or maybe just to get laid, but you know better. What he needs is a mentor.
The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force Policy Institute, in collaboration with the National Coalition for the Homeless, released a national report today titled Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender youth: An epidemic of homelessness. “Epidemic” is a strong word to use, but in this case it’s justified.
First of all when Republicans first started using the term "San Francisco Decmocrat" it was shorthand to their base of hate. It meant, "I like gay people," and all that goes with it.
Why don't I feel rage over this latest so-called sex and drugs scandal concerning the nation's top Evangelical leader? The President of the National Association of Evangelicals has been exposed as a man who allegedly cheats on his wife and family, employs a male prostitute, uses illegal drugs, and generally lives a life of complete hypocrisy.
Lincoln's City Council and the Lancaster County Commissioner voted to approve a suicide prevention grant focused at gay and lesbian youth. The approval of this much-needed grant has in no way rendered the issue moot. The opposition to the grant from Councilwoman Robin Eschliman and Commissioner Bob Workman has fueled an ongoing debate. For weeks the debate has been playing out in editorial cartoons and letters to the editor and will, no doubt, continue on for some time. -->
