Restore Equality 2010: When They Fight, They Give Us Hope
Perseverance will pay off in California next year. Restore Equality 2010 officially launched its petition drive along with a social networking site, today. The statewide group is a coalition of organizations committed to repealing the unconstitutional Proposition 8 which narrowly passed last November, damaging thousands of families in the state and destroying what could have been the election’s most prized lesson: prejudice and discrimination are a thing of America’s past.
Queer Culture and the Reasons You Should be an Activist.
No matter how you spin it, there is something for everyone in being an activist. Within the broad gay community, we have developed our own labels. Some of those labels cross the boundaries into the straight world, some are fairly queer specific. Queers United covers many of these gay phrases under “Word of the Gay,” which I link to several times in this post.
This listing was inspired by conversations with various people within the gay community about “assimilation” and the fear that the marriage movement is absorbing our “queer” identities. I disagree with that ideology, but that is not the point here. The point is, “I’m here to recruit you.”
