In an unfortunate turn of events, Lt. Choi was honorably discharged for being honest about who he is-A man willing to fight for our country, and who happens to be Gay. Watch his interview on Rachel Maddow.
The past few days have been wonderful. We are fortunate enough to have our families join together to share love, laughter, and humor since we began our visit to our hometown Chicago. I (Marcos) cannot believe my little brother will be a teenager soon. He plays a mean bass and his hair keeps getting longer-all the hipsters are jealous. Oh to be that age again.
Our in-laws were together for the weekend and had a wonderful time swimming, kayaking, hiking, and talking of stories past. We must remember whether blood or not, your family is your family. We both read constantly about the negative in our community such as the recent crimes against Gay men in Palm Spring, CA to the recent suicides of LGBT’s who cannot wake up to another day of feeling they have to be ridiculed.
Keep in mind the one’s who do love you healthily. Follow your heart and love one-another. It can get better all the time.
UPDATE: ARGENTINA IS NOW THE FIRST COUNTRY OF THE AMERICAS TO HAVE LEGALIZED SAME-SEX MARRIAGE
Our friend from Argentina informed us of the following…
“Dear friends, today begins the discusion of “marriage for all” on the Argentine congress.
The project was approved and next week will be discussed on the deputy room. If they approved the law, it will go to the senate to be discussed there…and probably, before our Bicentennial anniversary we be the 1st American country to have marriage for all…same right with the same name!”
We have been traveling across country and have noticed some positive changes. Even in the heartland of Kansas, USA we saw a Pride flag waving in the open air. It was beautiful! There’s definitely an increase in Pride in the country.
Outfest, the Los Angeles-based nonprofit organization dedicated to nurturing, showcasing and protecting lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) images, has announced an original and diverse programming lineup for Outfest 2010: The 28th Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Film Festival. The nation’s leading LGBT festival and the oldest film festival in the city will be held July 8 to 18.
In addition to the 147 films (60 features and 87 shorts) from 23 countries, Outfest hosts over a dozen panels and special events at several venues across Los Angeles, including Hollywood, West Hollywood and Downtown.
“This year’s incredible line-up celebrates all of the forward-thinking artists that push the boundaries for LGBT rights and equality,” says Kirsten Schaffer, Executive Director of Outfest. “From Allen Ginsberg’s quest for personal and artistic liberation to stories that challenge the status quo in the age of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell and gay marriage bans, this inspiring collection of films is sure to impact both gay and straight audiences.”
