Her Time Made OUR Time Possible…YOUR Time Can Too!
Barbara Gittings-Lesbian Activist. Gittings marched in the first gay picket lines at the White House to protest the federal government’s policy on discrimination of homosexuals, holding a sign that read “Sexual preference is irrelevant to federal employment.”
Gittings met her partner, Kay Tobin Lahusen in 1961 in Rhode Island, they lived, loved, and fought for rights together for 46 years until Gitting’s death in 2007.
As you walk down a street OUT and PROUD, remember your forefathers and mothers who laid that sidewalk down for you.
We were out playing at the Apple Store, when we were given a demo of the new magic mouse. We will definitely be seeing one stuffed in our stocking this year. Wireless with a multitouch sensor and this gesture control that makes you feel like a Jedi. When you just wisk your fingers for control you’ll find yourself saying to unwanted windows, “these aren’t the droids I’m looking for.”
For only $69.00, it’s definitely worth hooking somebody up this holiday.
DON’T forget to thank the good people at Mac, either in store, or on the comments section, that your are buying them because of their repeated support of equality for all and stance against Prop 8 last year.
We are uncles! If you’re not an uncle yet, get on it. We can truly say it is one of the best feelings in the world. We met him during thanksgiving, only a few wks old, and he melted us like ice in AZ. Weak at the knees bad. We love you buddy and will be there for you for whatever you need.
A NOTE: buddy I hope your mom saves this for you: Your uncles love you. We’ll be there for you no matter what. Mom and dad love you, to be honest, most likely mom and dad will win parents of the year for the next 17 years in a row. You hit the parent jackpot. As a bonus, we’ll be uncles JACKPOT!
Yo, Pete Wentz, we thank you for the following: giving to No on 8, posing for the NO on H8 Champaign, AND (and our fav) taking to the mic and demanding a better world of equality. FallOut Boy was great / hell is great- oh we know we’ll hear from the haters and that is fine. If you love rock and want it to be pop (popular) then you love’em! If you think rock is something only you and your overweight friends can bang to in your mom’s basement cause ya’ missed the 70’s… catch up.
As the EqualJunction community how do we say thank you? Here is the solution: write Pete, thank the band, OR if you want to be really brave, a rock star, and so here is your challenge: Look at your ipod. Who did you listen to this week? If you know they have given to equality, write them an email on their fan site thank them. IF you don’t know if your fav musician has done right by your believes LET US KNOW! We have their number and WE WILL CALL THEM. (Seriously, not their mgmt, not their label, the band we’ll call!) We’ll call them, tell them about you, their fan, and ask why they haven’t taken that next step to make their rock, rock for a reason.
Some tend to believe that all churches will exile the LGBT community, however that is NOT true. One of the churches that is ALL inclusive is the United Methodist Church in Hollywood. They are highly in favor of equal marriage for ALL and their hearts and doors are open. For more details, click HERE.
Fun Fact: The basement of the Hollywood Church was used to film the “Under the Sea” Dance in the Back to the Future Trilogy.
If you’re not an uncle yet, get on it. We can truly say it is one of the best feelings in the world. We met him during thanksgiving, only a few wks old, and he melted us like ice in AZ. Weak at the knees bad. We love you buddy and will be there for you for whatever you need.
