This next subject is as universal as the human experience and spreads throughout the world in many different forms, both legal and illegal, friendly and stolen, and in the mere disappearance of one child and unannounced appearance of another – no questions asked. There are so many other on the black market and simply sold children for economic reasons in the poorest of regions and the wealthiest of communities as if a child is a simple commodity, not a living, breathing life. In between there exist the most vilest of the child trade for sex, work and any other whim an entitled person might feel to any other thing on the market place to be bartered over as if it were a trinket in the world’s largest flea market. I grew up an adopted person amidst these images and one pondering what made me so fortunate to get the luck of the draw, ending up with upper, middle-class, phenomenal parents through a Los Angeles Superior Court County Adoption, is a tale of randomness in the extreme.
What would happen to this world if the real power couple was Oprah and Gayle King, the editor-in-chief at O! magazine and her best friend. It has been speculated for years and the case is just not so, but let’s pretend and see how the world would change.
I know it’s been a long running joke in the lesbian community but we all know it is just wishful thinking, but let’s take that wish on into fruition and live in this world for a little while. I think we would find 2009’s political landscape much different for gay men and women.

I was reading an article on the election in Maine today, and although it was a fairly positive article in regards to the “No on 1″ campaign, there were a couple sentences that when I read them… they stung. Like a slap in the face. Not gonna lie, I started crying. While the comment itself [...]

From time to time the wife and I receive emails from the all powerful *eyeroll* Joe Solmonese and the HRC. Tonight the wife got an email about a nationwide special that the American Family Association produced called Speechless: Silencing Christians. I will go on and say that I have not read the book they reference [...]

Over the last several days, tens of thousands of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender and their Supporters have taken to the streets of California to show their outrage with the passage of CA Proposition 8.

I am overjoyed with the results of Tuesday’s election. It amazes me that finally, an African American has done what no other could do: become President of the United States. It proves that anyone really can become President if he/she sets his/her mind to it. It proves that we, as a nation, are moving away [...]

Through the victory of President-Elect Obama, a great step has been made toward the dream of equality. I am proud to say that I voted for him and truly believe he will be a great president.
