Dear Senator Kerry

Dear Senator Kerry, I am very grateful for your victories and am praying for your swift and graceful transformation from Senator to President of the United States. I heard you speak in San Francisco last year, when you were embarking on your campaign trail. I found you to be an eloquent and sincere man. We […]

Passion

I just saw “The Passion of the Christ,” and it was a lovely film. I know how it ends, so it wasn’t really suspenseful, but the way that it completely bowls you over is pretty scary. Being raised as a born again Christian and Buddhist, the story of the crucifixion was always somewhat glossed over. […]

I Have A Dream

What do we do if we don’t get the democratic candidate to support same sex marriage? We don’t think about that until we have to think about it. I never have a back up plan. I just assume that when I step up, there are going to be stairs there. Perhaps it’s foolish, but fools […]

My Response

My response to Bush’s statement on same-sex Marriage “Good morning.” “Eight years ago, Congress passed, and President Clinton signed, the Defense of Marriage Act, which defined marriage for purposes of federal law as the legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife.” Which was a big mistake when he did it, […]

Dear Gov. Schwarzenegger

An open letter to Gov. Schwarzenegger: Hello there Governor, I am responding to your comments on the recent “Meet the Press” where you said if they did not put a stop to same sex marriage in San Francisco something to the effect of – “the next thing you know there will be riots and injured […]

I’m Sorry Rev. Jackson, I am for Real…

Dear Rev. Jackson, I have been a fan of yours for many years. We once shared the stage in San Francisco at Davies Symphony Hall. Your message of equal rights and peace has always resonated with me. Through all the different political and social upheavals over the past decades you have been a strident voice […]

Troubled

Bush is “troubled” by gay marriage in San Francisco. (sung to the tune of “Trouble” by Cat Stevens) Trouble Oh trouble set me free I have seen the gays And it’s too much too much for me Trouble Or trouble can’t you see To be married and be gay You’re taking my laws away And […]

Step Up

Step up your game. No matter who you are or what you feel about homosexuality. If you are gay, lesbian, transgendered, bisexual, bi-curious, metrosexual, heterosexual, celibate, hermaphrodite, a satyr, a succubus, a fucking human being – and especially if you are a fucking human being, and really want to live in a country where all […]

Thank You Gavin Newsom

San Francisco fucking rules. I am so proud of my home town for legalizing gay marriage, sending gays and lesbians down to the city by the Bay that was built on rock and roll to tie the knot. Who don’t like that? Well, the bullshit “Family Values” groups don’t think it is right. One dude […]

Racist, Homophobic, Misogynistic Right Attacks Margaret

Margaret received these letters immediately following this post and this post from the right wing website, Free Republic. We originally posted the emails with all the names and return addresses intact, but eventually had to remove them because we became aware they were being contacted by many of Margaret’s outraged fans. Free Republic, which a […]

Who’s a Hypocrite?

I heard about an article that was written in some newspaper that said that Madonna, Megan Mullally and me, being gay icons, are hypocrites because we be married and that we have no credibility when we talk about how it is wrong that gay marriage isn’t acknowledged by the government. I didn’t read that shit […]

Cornell University

Cornell University is hard to get to, and well worth it. The architecture is both sleek and ancient. The students are sharp as razor blades. The statue outside the hotel we are staying on campus, a massive, nude, shiny metal bearded man, actually has a phallus, but it’s cold here, and he is a grower […]
