Several DKos posters have recently asked if I would post a regular diary on LGBT events in the news. I'd like to hear from more folks in the DKos community in order to get an idea of the level of interest (both in the subject and my taking it on). No tomato-throwing please! :)
I post quite a bit here, but I'm pretty prolific on my own blog, Pam's House Blend. I focus on politics generally, but mostly on gay issues, race (whatever that term means nowadays!), and random things on my acerbic mind -- especially about the Religious Right. [I also have this unseemly habit of venturing over to Freeperville to see how those knuckle-draggers live -- so you don't have to.]
Reading everyone's opinions and thoughts each day on DKos is really invigorating, so I'm willing to give this project a shot as a contribution to the community.
After the jump is a list of some of my diaries, and a poll.
Here's a sampling of the relevant diaries I've posted on DKos.
Wingnut anti-Subaru campaign for courting gay market
Formerly suicidal gay teen thrives with lesbian foster family
Dems timid response to the Right, now in CA
Dems letting the GOP split religious black community
British "Ex-Gay" ministry throws in the towel
Court: Philly can offer gay partnership benefits
Homophobia kills here -- but also in Jamaica
The Anti-Gay Week in Review
Methodist pastor on trial for being a "self-avowed practicing homosexual"
NYT on Matthew Shepard 20/20 - killer is bisexual, so it isn't a bias crime
Jeb Bush "Comes Out" against FL marriage amendment
Freepermania on the Gay Blame/values issue
The Gay Blame Game -- not just the GOP
"Homosexuals are Hellbound" - OH Super DOMA
So, in consideration of my ungodly day job schedule, it looks like the best day for me to post is on Fridays, but I could be convinced to do it on Mondays. Should this be a weekly or every other week? Give me some feedback, and any nifty ideas on the name for the diary.
Thanks!
