Quoted!

[I’m quoted in this. :)
P.S. in case you’re curious, I’ve been mostly offline for the past month, taking a college course in Pre-Calculus, busting my ass emptying storage units and cleaning/organizing house, etc.

Gays forging creative paths to parenthood

Gays forging creative paths to parenthood
Couples turn to co-parenting to build and raise families
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2004/09/06/MNG1Q8KH241.DTL
excerpt relevant to step-parents and the polyamory community:

Ten years ago, co-parenting contracts — which can spell […]

More on Cho controversy

a) BuzzFlash Article
This is from the introduction of a great interview with Cho about the
debacle, published today in Buzzflash:
“We had interviewed Margaret recently, for a second time, about her new
“State of Emergency tour http://www.margaretcho.com/tour” and her new
DVD, “Revolution
http://www.buzzflash.com/premiums/04/06/pre04021.html,” when news
broke about the Kerry campaign apparently asking the Human Rights
Campaign to nix her appearance, out of […]

Letter written to all co-sponsoring entities of “Unity” 2004

Dear [enter name of person here],
As you’re no doubt well aware by now, one of the leading members of the
bi/queer community, Margaret Cho (* whose image appears on your organization’s
home page), has been disinvited from the Unity 2004 event that you
are co-sponsoring (as I see from this page:
http://www.margaretcho.com/unity.htm).
[* optional: applies to NCTE, SLDN, and […]

HRC fucks over Margaret Cho

Attn: Cheryl Jacques, Executive Director
Dear Cheryl,
There is really no polite way to say how throughly bleeped I think your
organization’s decision to dump Margaret Cho from “Unity” 2004 is. Just when
I was beginning to think that HRC might have turned a new leaf, and be an
organization that bisexuals and other marginalized folks within the greater
GLBT […]

Bi chants for Pride marches!

From a posting by Joshua Standig, jstandig -_at_- mindspring.com to the babn-chat mailing list….
The first one is based on a sign I made for the Pride Parade, reading “We
GLOW both ways.” When folks do this one (especially at night,) it would
be nicely theatrical to use lamps or flashlights, in […]

Letter to GLADD re: annoying bisexual stereotype in comic strip

Re: Pearls Before Swine, July 2nd, 2004 (use archive links to get to this edition starting tomorrow)
Cathy,
I’m not outraged by the July 2nd edition of “Pearls Before Swine”, just
annoyed and mildly pissed off… yes, I get that there’s little opportunity
to provide context in a comic strip, but having the tired stereotype of the

No sperm donations for me…
