What do you think of the new look? May is Ledcat's birthday and blue is her favorite color. Don't worry. I have a real gift hidden … well, I can't tell you because she does read this. I think. At least she fakes it well. Nonetheless, blue. Today seemed to be the day of multiple […]
Attached is the letter to Senator John McCain from First Class Petty Officer Lonnie Allen. Update 4:45 PM The protestors are not from Get Equal or Equality Across America. They belong to an Arizona organization called HERO (Human and Equal Rights Organizers) based on Phoenix. The protestors are reported to have been arrested, cited and […]

My brain is really tired so I'm giving this my best shot. First, the follow up from the White House DADT protest yesterday. The protestors have been released and preliminary reports on how the transwomen and transmen were treated in the jail system are additional sadness related to this entire issue.

I don't like political surrogates. This came up at the Steel City Stonewall Democrats meeting tonight with regard to PrideFest. I suggested allowing only elected officials to speak which didn't go over very well. However, I can tell you from last year, the decision to allow people with no name recognition to speak on behalf […]
