Judge Vaughn Walker, presiding over the Prop 8 trial in San Francisco, is gay.  Conservative Christians hate that.  Anti-gay activist Matt Barber writes,

This is no different than having an avid gun dealer/collector preside over a Second Amendment case – or a frequent user of medical marijuana deciding the legality of medical marijuana.

First, given the good [...]

Watch all the way to end, and witness the arbitrary insanity of marriage inequality.

I love Alvin McEwan’s Holy Bullies and Headless Monsters blog.  If you believe facts and truth and reason have any place in the marriage equality debate, then you need to check out his deep research and tear-’em-down analysis.  I was making a list of blog posts he’s written that I want to keep handy, and [...]

Thank God it’s only February. 

My training for the AIDS/LifeCycle took a big hit this week due to work responsibilities.  No bike time at all.

Tuesday

Runyon Canyon jog/walk with Lucas.  Time to top: 18m52s.  The goal is to jog the entire way to the top (no walking breaks) by Easter.  I can’t jog down, as that would destroy [...]

And I’m a dog man.

Will and I are off snowboarding for the weekend. I’m afraid that’s going to have to count as training.

Bryan Fischer, a radio host for the American Family Association, has stirred up news by implying gays should be thrown in prison, pulling back, and then implying it again.  Yesterday he posted this on his blog:

Think for a moment of the current social controversies that could potentially be avoided if homosexual conduct was still against [...]

President Obama’s remarks today have drawn attention back to Uganda’s Kill-the-Gays bill.  And the media still hasn’t gotten it right.  Some conservatives offer the outright lie that it only intends to execute child molesters and people who deliberately spread HIV.  The liberal media points out that the bill would also execute people who merely have [...]

Andrew Sullivan messed up my blog.  But in a good way.

I had a half-hour server outage this morning.  Turns out that Andrew’s multiple links to my blog gave it a huge surge in traffic.  Now, I don’t expect that sort of traffic every day, but let’s plan for success, right?  So I upgraded my web [...]

Everything but the word.  That’s what we won in Washington state last year.  Civil unions with all the (state-level) rights of marriage, but not the word itself.  I’ve heard people talk as though it’s a reasonable compromise.

There can be no compromise.

Some people out there want us to have nothing.  No civil unions, no domestic partnerships.  [...]

This June I’ll be doing the AIDS/LifeCycle once again, a week-long, 545-mile bike trip from San Francisco to Los Angeles.  I’ve decided to keep myself honest with the cardio training by posting each week’s regimen.  Weeks will go from Monday to Sunday; I’ll get off the couch on Sunday mornings when I realize, Oh no, [...]
