As the American state of Maine gears up to vote on the issue of gay marriage, a speech given to Maine’s Judiciary Committee back in April from an 86-year-old war veteran has gone on to become a YouTube hit. His heartfelt words cut right to the heart of the matter - “we can all be different and still be equal” - and I felt compelled to pass them on.

From the totally awesome Joe.My.God.
Gentle readers, I’m rerunning my annual Pride rant for the fifth year. I wrote this post in 2005 a couple of days after attending Pride here in NYC. In the following years I’ve reposted it in advance of the day in the hope of encouraging you to attend. My apologies to those that have read it before. Have a wonderful Pride. Love each other.

A weekend in Fiji: Part 3-strikes?
8:30am
Tour Lady: Bula! It seems that your Driver is not on Fiji time; you come so very early! Hahaha. Us: Ha. Cough. Tour Lady: We just need to wait for the others to arrive.
