Giving gay thanks
By: French Wall
| |
Many husbands can, and do, rudely refer to their wives as "the old ball and chain." What a dreadful metaphor for a relationship! |

Obscene Threat
By: French Wall

The next time you hear anyone claiming that the United States was founded as a Christian nation, understand that your are listening to either an ignoramus or a liar. |

Kinsey's Insight
By: French Wall
| |
Gay people have a special interest in stopping today's insane laws regulating adolescent sexuality, not only because homophobia exacts a particularly harsh penalty on kids exploring their homosexuality, but also because with a slight change in the law we all could
easily revert to being the outlawed sodomites we were when Kinsey was writing. |

'Illegal Aliens'
By: French Wall

In 1988, Democratic presidential candidate Michael Dukakis used Neil Diamond's paean to immigrants "[They're Coming to] America" as his theme song, an unthinkable selection in today's xenophobic climate. |

Fewer Laws, Not More
By: French Wall
| |
The US already has an infamous and deplorable prison-industrial complex that imprisons more people per capita than any other country. Ever-more Draconian sentences aimed at ever-more demonized drug users and
sex offenders keep prisons packed, even as violent crime rates drop. Do we really want to lock up more people for longer sentences because they used insulting language? |

Speedy Adios
By: French Wall

Gay people have a particular interest in Gonzales's speedy exit, for the besieged Attorney General has turned to a strategy often employed by politicians looking to distract the public from their own malfeasance: get

Stop Bullying
By: French Wall
| |
Instead of trying to join the laundry list of protected elite,
gay people should insist that anti-bullying rules evaluate action, not political motivation. Someone who has been viciously bullied for any reason should have access to fair recourse regardless of their race, ethnicity,
sexual orientation, or political persuasion. |

From Stonewall to Knoxville
By: French Wall
| |
The recent Knoxville arrests underscore that amidst today's rainbow marketing hoopla, men-- many men, when one counts across the country-- are still being targeted for arrest by
police and for public humiliation by the press. All because they sought out gay sex. |

Christmas as a Gay Celebration
By: French Wall
| |
Jesus is hardly a comforting model for those who would uphold the traditional nuclear family as the primary means to personal fulfillment. As far as we know, he defied the conventions of his time by refusing to marry and
sire children. Furthermore, he minimized the importance of blood ties when he announced that it was not his biological family, but rather those who renounced judgment and practiced love who were his true mother and his
genuine brothers. |

L'Affaire Foley
By: French Wall

Today our gay political groups mindlessly join the condemnation of Foley as some sort of monster. And for what? Good-natured, online locker-room talk with willing young men. |

Aim Higher!
By: French Wall
| |
The goal of those seeking justice is to strip marriage of its special privileges, and to allow
everyone access to the legal resouraces they need to take care of their households-- without having
to present themselves as a sexually-related, much less sexually-exclusive, couple. |

Jury Duty
| |
Why does the US Constitution repeatedly guarantee
the right to a jury trial? Why do the constitutions
of all fifty states similarly claim for their citizens the
right of a trial by jury? |
