Anti Gay Blacklist
Speaking of voting with your dollars, be sure to check out the local businesses and individuals who contributed to pass California Prop 8 (boo!) on the Anti-Gay Vegas Blacklist. Local LGBT activists have generously compiled the list for you. (Thanks Diana!) And … You can make the choice to shop elsewhere and support local businesses…
Support equality for all
The need for equality doesn’t take a holiday. I know it’s a busy time, but this is important: ** Day Without Gay — Dec. 10 — nationwide: Gays and allied supporters of equality and marriage for all are encouraged to “call in gay” as a show of the impact of the LGBT community across all…
Special Session

UMC closes oncology program
Our economy is in the toilet and now the county-run hospital is shutting down it’s cancer ward Dec. 31? Considering that I lost two loved ones to cancer this year, I can’t imagine how devastating this would be to a cancer patient and her/his family. You know, those with good insurance and those who can…
What would Jesus buy?
I just finished watching a documentary called What Would Jesus Buy? Produced by Morgan Spurlock (of Supersize Me and television’s 30 Days fame), the documentary follows an activist performance group on a cross-country (via biodiesel bus) odyssey on their quest to remind Americans the true meaning of Christmas. While Jesus features prominently in the title,…
