You know it’s ironic. My older brother is a total hetero-queen. The boots he wears have 3″ heels and he bought them because they click when he walks, he uses a hair iron, he wears ass tight jeans, he L-O-V-E-S fashion, oh, and he loves women. I know, I thought he was gay too, but au contraire. He’s just femme!

In the past few days, I have been very fortunate to be emotionally moved by some closely related events.

The California Supreme Court ruling has legalized gay marriage for Californians. The old anti family argument just does not jell for most reasonable people. The Rainbow Sash Movement must express both its joy at the ruling in favor of Gay Marriage, and at the same time its disappointment in the response of the California Catholic Conference of Bishops. In matters such as birth control, choice, gay marriage and stem cell research Catholic voters will judge for themselves. The Catholic Bishops can only speak for themselves.

Basic Rights Oregon has just learned that the California State Supreme Court has ruled this morning that laws excluding gay and lesbian couples from the right to marry are unconstitutional.
Today’s historic decision in California is a victory for all Americans who cherish fairness and opportunity. While the ruling has no legal impact on Oregonians, we are encouraged by the societal change this represents. This country is steadily moving in the direction of recognizing that every committed couple in a trusting and loving relationship deserves dignity and equal treatment under the law.
California’s High Court did its job today by ensuring that all Californians are treated fairly and equally under the law. Basic Rights Oregon continues to work for a day when all Oregonians are treated just the same under Oregon law.

All eyes are on Oregon as we cast our ballots in the May 20th presidential Primary. (Don’t forget to mail your ballot by Friday, or else you’ll want to drop it off at an official ballot drop site.)
Meanwhile, we’ve told you about dozens of local candidates who deserve your vote. The Basic Rights Equality PAC supports local and statewide candidates who will make a real difference for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Oregonians - and whose races could be decided by just a few hundred votes.

I created a very brief text message on my cell phone that said something like “Happy Mothers Day. Don’t forget to call your Mom today!” Meant to be a mass text message to my friends, I soon found that I faced more than the usual problems in selecting recipients from my contact list.

(Los Angeles, CA, 05/08/08)— Novelist Michael Holloway Perronne has courted controversy in the past by speaking out against a book banning Alabama state senator and in his writing by confronting Hollywood’s still prevalent closet and also ageism in the gay community. However, Perronne considers his new novel, Embrace the Rain, which explores post-Hurricane Katrina life in a small coastal Mississippi town to be his most personal work yet.

It may have flown under the radar for some, but earlier this month, a poll posted on WhatTheyPlay.com asked parents “Which Do You Find Most Offensive?” WhatTheyPlay.com is a parent resource site for video games. It features ratings and information, presumably to allow parents to get the “facts” about what Junior is really doing on Nintendo all day long.

Today, April 25, is the National Day of Silence, an observance of the rights and experiences of gay and lesbian students who often feel their sexual identity is silenced in high school and middle school cultures. The idea is that students who choose to participate in the Day of Silence spend an entire day not speaking. Of course, this sort of protest requires the support of school teachers and administrators, many of whom require students to speak in the regular course of a school day.
