- Over at Penguin Central, BadTux reminds us that the face of hate is not always easily recognizable, that a huge effort is underway in California to repeal the right to marriage for the LGBTQ community, and that you can, and should, grow a pair and tell the bigots to fuck themselves.

Come out, come out wherever you are! Although Coming Out is painful for a lot of folks, one day it won't be a big deal. We're getting there, but a journey of a thousand miles and all that, you know?
Glad I throw a little humor in the mix for ya! ;)
regarding california and prop 8. our neighbors put up a yes on 8 sign extremely close to our yard boundary. mr. sgtg nicely asked that they please move it. mr. neighbor said 'sure, i told my mother this wouldn't fly'. mr. neighbor's elderly mother lives with them. sheesh, i just can't believe that this ridiculous prop even got on the ballot, let alone all these ridiculous yes on 8 signs.
My post on Prop 8.

Geeze, BadTux, how embarrassing. Sorry 'bout that.
Hey, Alan, your blog makes the difference between a spittle-flecked rant and a wine-flecked expounding, yaknow?
Hey, terrorist nun, thanks for the Reggie pix and glad to hear you and Mr. sgtg are keeping the fires of bigotry squashed.
