		<description><![CDATA[Earlier this week I took my camera into San Francisco with the goal of taking some pics in my old neighborhood. This was the first photo I took: Click photos to enlarge What is it? Well, it&#8217;s the ceiling that was over my head the moment I discovered that Ash is now available for preorder [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I live-blogged the Proposition 8 hearings in San Francisco for 365gay.com. It was a long and draining but exhilarating day; you can read my blog posts about it here and here, and see a replay of the live blog here. Although many analysts aren&#8217;t feeling very positive after the hearings, I refuse to write [...]

I&#8217;ll be attending the hearings, sort of, from a special viewing party hosted by NCLR at the San Francisco Public Library (across the street from the California Supreme Court), as well as the press conferences before and after. To watch [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Today, Barack Obama will be inaugurated as the United States&#8217; 44th president, and its first African-American one. What many might call his charmed candidacy and election has been marred, in my opinion, by his invitation to the homophobic Rick Warren to deliver the invocation at his inauguration. Partly as a move to appease angered LGBT [...]

		<description><![CDATA[The past few days have been bitter for a lot of LGBT people who supported Obama, as well as for progressive straight people. The other night on The Rachel Maddow Show, Maddow succinctly took us through the timeline of the entire Obama-Warren-inauguration-debacle and clearly outlined why it is such a slap in the face to [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Like thousands of other people across the U.S. and the world today, I protested the passage of Proposition 8. It might have been abnormally hot in San Francisco today, but everybody was in a good mood. Lots of people seemed to enjoy the sign that my girlfriend and I made: Here are some more excellent [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Like the majority of Americans, I am happy that we have elected Barack Obama as our next president, a person who, in his biracial, transnational roots, puts a much improved face on the United States. However, I am also deeply disappointed that Californians have voted to revoke my rights and to discriminate against me as [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Marriage is a such a complicated word. I used to think it was an archaic concept out of touch with today, because in many, many cultures, it was a contractual bond between a man and a woman for the purpose of ensuring property rights. If this sounds a bit brutal, consider that marriage between members [...]

Sarah Palin in Thursday night&#8217;s vice presidential debate, while Sarah Palin turned on her populist charm. What surprised me? The gay marriage question (transcript from CNN). GWEN IFILL: Let&#8217;s try to avoid nuance, Senator. Do you support gay [...]
