Free Ruslan Sharipov now!

Tell the scum-sucking hypocritical windbags that Bush has appointed to run the state department that we, the American citizenry, are watching, and will hold them and the President accountable for their vicious hypocrisy that subsidizing a fascist oligarchy of homophobic ex-Communist bureaucrats by $500 million dollars a year represents.

Letter to Lafayette Parish district board and administration re: “Louisiana”

The behavior described by the ACLU in the press release entitled “Louisiana
School Punishes 7-Year-Old Boy for Talking About His Lesbian Moms”(1) is
utterly despicable, it is a disgrace to the good name of public education!
This action has brought international disrepute and disgrace on our nation
(4). Dr. Easton’s those by Mr. Thibodaux (2) and Ms. Wilson (5) clearly
indicate a lack of understanding of the nature of the situation. This
child’s parents are gay, they are two women, and that child should be free
to talk about them, and their relationship, and use the appropriate words
for it, at any age. Any restrictions on that send a clear message that one
set of relationships is acceptable to talk about, and another isn’t. I wish
to thank Ricky Hardy for being the sole member of your board to “get it”,
and advocate for an apology.

Louisiana School Punishes 7-Year-Old Boy for Talking About His Lesbian Moms

LAFAYETTE, LA - After a 7-year-old boy was scolded in front of his
classmates and sent to a school behavioral clinic for answering another
child’s questions about his lesbian mothers, the American Civil
Liberties Union today demanded that the school expunge the boy’s
disciplinary records and stop restricting him from talking about his
family with other students.

BI POC Institute Report - Please distribute

The first gathering of bisexual people of color took place on Thursday,
August 21, 2003, as part of the 2nd Annual North American Conference on
Bisexuality in San Diego, CA (http://www.bisexual.org/nacb/). The
Bisexual People of Color Organizing Institute was aimed at creating
dialogue and developing actions steps around the needs of bisexual
People of Color. This historic event took place after decades of active
participation of bisexual people of color in the people of color gay,
lesbian and transgender movement, the larger gay, lesbian and
transgender movement and the larger civil rights movement.
Over 30 participants from throughout the United States and Mexico
participated in the Bi POC Institute. They discussed issues of race,
class and sexuality and were encouraged to share challenges, triumphs
and learned lessons from their respective personal and professional
experience in being part of, working with and providing services to,
this often overlooked, often forgotten community.

Reasonably good article on Bisexuality basics…

[Interesting that this popped up on a New Zealand web site. The taxonomy is somewhat absurd - yes, bisexual behavior manifests itself in many different ways - so does straight and gay/lesbian behavior… you could create as many labels for sub-groups and classifications within those communities as well. -Thomas]

folks, they are Lesbi-Men!

Generation Gap over Gay Marriage

Debate on Gay Unions Splits Along Generations
By Amanda Paulson, Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor
For today’s teenagers, homosexuality has never been a taboo topic.
They’ve grown up with positive gay characters on MTV’s the Real World, and on network shows like Will and Grace. Many have “gay-straight alliances” at their high schools. And it’s a […]
