Flaming Politics video blog (Episode 7): Let's talk rural America

As we head into the Pennsylvania primary, which might finally determine the Democratic candidate for President of the United States, Japhy discusses Barack Obama's recent "bitter" comments and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's position on gay marriage and anti-gay marriage amendments. Japhy also chats about he himself views rural America, how other gays view rural America, and how folks in those small towns view us.

Breaking! Naked people "sexy," activism "not so much"

It was a crushing blow to find out that while I was researching an important article on gay male sex on television and getting my nails done, the gays got over political activism.

First I had to get over my shock at there being a trend among my people that I wasn't already at least aware of, if not on the forefront of. Remembering the early days of ACT-UP, and actually having been at the White Night riots (and if you don't know what those are, seriously, you need to take queer history 101 immediately) - in fact, being one of the few les/gay people who remembers when San Francisco Pride was actually called the Gay Freedom Day Parade - I suppose it's no surprise this news doesn't make me happy.
