Monday. December 1.
I’m kind of dreading heading back to work, on one hand. But on the other, I’m really looking forward to getting back into the swing of my regular, daily routine. I mean, sleeping in every morning for four days straight was awesome and all, but I was mostly bored out of my mind [...]

InterstateQ – What’s your opinion?
I guess everyone’s noticed I’ve taken a little holiday weekend break from almost everything work and web related. It’s awesome. This weekend’s a perfect time to get your feedback.
Since I’ve re-dedicated myself to paying more attention to InterstateQ, I’ve noticed I don’t like the theme and design. It looks rather crowded. Part of that’s my [...]

Thanks for the things that matter
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! It’s so wonderful to be able to take one special day out of each year to think long and hard about the people, places and things for which we are truly thankful.
So many times in the world you hear people use the words “thank you” as a sort of involuntary, instinctive reply [...]

Yes, join us Greenland
Greenland just voted for independence. Another step toward complete autonomy, away from Denmark.
Well, you know what I say: Come join us Greenland! Part ways with that old world European power ruling you thousands of miles away from home! Welcome to independent North America!

No Milk for Cinemark
I’m usually not one for boycotts, although I did boycott the 2008 Olympic Games (I watched the opening ceremonies, though; I wanted to see the political capitulating).
For all the rounds of boycotts going around after the passage of Prop. 8, I’m thinking that most of them are either going to be blown way out of [...]

Call me crazy, but I’m American first
All of this talk of Obama’s hesitancy on a DADT repeal is making me nauseous.
Washington Blade editor Kevin Naff says:
There is no rational justification for prolonging the repeal effort any longer. No more waiting, no more excuses and no more cover for duplicitous, squeamish politicians from our timid activist groups.
Flaming Politics’ Brock Savage says:

Yes on 8 leader: Liberty Counsel/Univ. represent ‘extreme fringe’
Foot-in-mouth syndrome or how conservatives really feel about Falwell’s minions? Either way, it’s funny as hell.
From The San Francisco Chronicle:
Other conservative groups that loudly backed Prop. 8 are being targeted as too extreme and off-putting by ProtectMarriage.com, which put the constitutional amendment on the Nov. 4 ballot and hopes to help persuade the state Supreme [...]

Why here?
At least one blogger has asked why gay folks are protesting Prop. 8 in places like North Carolina. Here’s why:
California’s gay marriage ban could open the door to legal discrimination against unpopular groups if the state Supreme Court allows the voter-approved measure to stand, blacks, Latinos, Asians and other minorities said.

Legal scholars say the measure, [...]

Weekend radical right wrap-up
A few items of note from the weekend, from the void-of-all-reality world of the Radical Right…
The N.C. Christian Action League’s correspondent L.A. Williams and executive director Rev. Mark Creech attempt to paint all LGBT people as violent — “He said as discouraging as the nationwide Prop. 8 protests are, they serve a function in uncovering [...]

Update: Prioritizing the movement
A few days ago I blogged about my ideas on where our movement should go next. I made a priority list on what we should focus on.
My most recent post on this notion of “you haven’t suffered enough” prompted some more thinking on my part. Updated priority list below the fold…
