More Wisdom From Sinfest (And Friends)
Hey, I'm sorry but I friggin' love this comic. And here is yet another reason why - a little commentary on you straight folk and your fear of same-sex marriage. Enjoy.
UPDATE: Here is more reading on this ongoing inequality. Do you think you know where the problem lies? Think again.
UPDATE: More on Proposition 8, and other laws of its kind, from Keith Olbermann. Now, I'm no fan of Olbermann's but what he says here is powerful. You can find the text of his commentary here.
UPDATE: There will be a protest this Saturday, 15 November 2008, at 1:30 PM EST at the United States Capital Reflecting Pool. Details here.

Pride! What Is It Good For?
My apologies to Edwin Starr but, during Pride Week here in the District, the question needs to be asked. What is the point of this week-long celebration of all things gay?
The homosexual community has become more fragmented and can't seem to agree on anything.
HIV/AIDS is still among us, still claiming lives.
Homosexuals are more visible now than they've ever been.
Pride festivities have devolved into fetish- and stereotype- filled parties where the most negative aspects of the community are on display.
What is there to be proud about?
I wish I knew. At one point in time, Pride Week was a time to show solidarity to the world. It was a time to stand for causes, to push for equality, to demand the same protections afforded to other targeted groups.
Now? I don't know. I certainly can't see a point to any of it. Maybe it's because I've seen where things were and where they are. Maybe it's because I'm just getting old and jaded and comfortable. Maybe it's because I could be right.
Would someone tell me? Pride ... what is it good for?
