As others have written, Mildred Jeter Loving died last Friday. She and her late husband Richard were co-plaintiffs in Loving v. Virginia, which in 1967 struck down the remaining miscegenation (anti-mixed-ethnicity marriage) laws.
That case has long given me hope that Hubby and I might enjoy legal marriage without having to move to the one […]
Hubby and I won’t bother with religious organizations that are hostile to our lives as gay men, with respect to the polity of the congregation concerned. That means a gay-agnostic congregational-polity church in a hostile association is better than gay-affirming church in a hostile connectional system. This makes affiliating with a connectional or episcopal church […]
Hurray! Hubby and I had our first date seven years ago tonight. He’s at work, and I’m thinking deeply and fondly of him.
Last night, he and I were shopping for groceries and, in frozen foods, the conversation turned to our Easter observances. To tell the truth, I was thinking of a lo-cal or vegetarian answer […]
I am disturbed that
the UK Home Office will deport 19-year-old gay Iranian Mehdi Kazemi back to Iran, where his life is most surely in danger. (He was studying in the UK.)
there isn’t a strong campaign to pressure the UK government to allow him to stay there.
Kazemi’s […]
Yesterday, a Day Job Office Mate and fellow Project Runway watcher suggested a spin-off series: a new, new Odd Couple where Tim Gunn (D.C. native!) and Chris March share an apartment and hilarity ensues.
I suggested, “They could just move the same Eames chair back and forth.”
Well, dang, if the United States Postal Service didn’t provide […]
Sorry Grace, back in the box!
Even though Day Job is around the corner from the CBN News office, I don’t think much about that candidate for America’s #1 lunatic: Pat Robertson.
The readers at Towelroad, using a YouTube-d video grabbed by Right Wing Watch, is having a “I can’t believe it” moment.
Seems the 700 Mob now thinks I-35 is […]
I know plovers doesn’t rhyme with lovers, but this hopeful story (with a cute photo) from today’s New York Times makes me even happier with Massachusetts than Virginia (the “is for lovers” state) that makes life very hard indeed for same-sex couples. No, I’ve not forgotten.
And given my choice of where I can live, work, […]
This Telugu-language video, performed by the Nritanjali Academy of the Andhra Pradesh state, India, was all the hit today at Day Job.
I like it for its catchy, informative way of promoting condom use.
It features women’s and gay men’s particular needs without embarrassment.
Clever [...]
Stentor Danielson picks up on two kinds of churchly homophobia and I suspect the quieter one he mentions is the more toxic. (Debitage).
Lifehacker reminds us that the five-year window “Do Not Call” registry so many of us used will be re-opening next year. You can reset the [...]
