For the past three years, I've been publishing LGBT graphic novels and comics under the Northwest Press imprint. The next book, coming in October, is a collection of new work from 33 established queer comics veterans and newcomers alike, called QU33R, and it contains a haunting piece by Andy Hartzell about Chelsea Manning, based on her documented chats with Adrian Lamo.

Here is that entire piece.

I was reading this excellent New York Times review of the film, "Milk", and it occurred to me that while movies like "Passion of the Christ" and other movies that appeal to rightwing Christians have had organized movements to get people to the theaters, I've not heard of anything similar for this movie, which sounds like a moving and celebratory tribute to a gay American pioneer.

What I decided to do was organize a group to go see it this Sunday in Seattle, and invited nearly everyone I know. For those who are traveling for Thanksgiving, I urged them to organize a group in their area. And when I thought a little more about it, I thought it would be a good idea to spread the call even wider.

My fiancé of six years and I were watching the Prop 8 results roll in, nervously watching the percentages shift slightly to and fro, and something occurred to me. I turned to him and asked, "Are you going to ask your parents how they voted on this?"

In the diary, Morning Joe EXPLICITLY plays the race card, I was struck by this comment about how the Morning Joe show criticized the Hillary Clinton speech as halfhearted:

The first hour plus were devoted to how Hillary's speech last night was a deliberately lukewarm "endorsement" of Barack Obama the Democrat, but conspicuosly failed to endorse him as a person.

I've this type of comment numerous times since she made her speech last night, and all I can say is that it goes to the heart of the whole PUMA mentality.

There is such a thing as willful ignorance.

On the CNN homepage today, there was a "Latest News" link to a video titled, "Was Chelsea or questioner out of line?"

Hmm. I clicked the link to see what the fuss was about. Apparently, someone at Butler University asked Chelsea Clinton a question about Monica Lewinsky, and she responded with a "verbal slap", "harsh words" and a "rebuff" according to CNN. CNN's Rick Sanchez said she "cut the guy off right at the knees".

Sheesh, what the hell did she say?

theotherside's diary, Obama Republicans, as well as some of the more contrary comments it generated, got me thinking about my thoughts on "unity" versus partisanship in politics.

Whenever I think of Republicans in conflict with Democrats, I think of my father and I. And being a gay, left-wing vegetarian growing up as my father's son was challenging, to say the least.

All you young whippersnappers think you know what obscenity is, by golly... back in my day, only the harcore-est of the hardcore offensive material could make it into that hall of fame. Figures that in this "anything goes" era that yet another standard has been watered down until it's basically meaningless.

Case in point after the jump, you hooligans!

My partner and I have three accounts at Washington Mutual, and the LGBT nonprofit I volunteer with has its money with Wamu as well. I was inspired by VolvoDrivingLiberal's diary about AnnCoulter.com advertisers to take action and ask Wamu why they thought it was good business sense to let people associate Washington Mutual with Ann Coulter.

I also contacted many of the advertisers and ad companies listed and sent them a version of this letter.

Maybe the recent diary about Bush's mental state was on my mind, or maybe I'm just used to Bush never seeming to show any genuine emotion (except maybe irritation and anger). But when I saw a headline on CNN that read Emotional Bush visits amputee vets, I clicked on it, because I really wanted to see if our President seeing the results of his policies actually had an effect on him.

My partner Steve and I got engaged in February of 2003, after a whirlwind courtship. He chose the perfect venue to propose; on the back cover of my favorite comic book, Carla Speed McNeil's Finder. Read More
