I felt it was equally important to include songs about how far we've come, and how beautiful our lives can be. "Equal" is one of those songs, as is "Two Great Dads" - another "me" song (laughs)! I'm afraid I wouldn't be much of a gay parent; I'd be way too busy being a kid with my kid (laughs)! Whenever we are at my husband's family events, I spend all my time playing with the children.
MIDWAY, Ind. - The Haynes family has long been embedded in the rich past of this tiny Spencer County community, population 100. One way to make sure that tradition lives on, Theresa Haynes believes, is to preserve the homeplace that's almost equal parts residence and museum.
TODAY, WE SHOULD have a moment of silence. On this day in 1982, the Equal Rights Amendment died. Unable to overcome the lies and distortions of its opponents, it failed to win ratification by the 38 states necessary. Conservatives bombarded the ERA as if it were the devil incarnate. It would lead to unisex toilets, they said. Women would fight in combat alongside men. And homosexuals would want to marry.
We, as a people, have survived and prevailed over one of the greatest holocausts in human history, the Holocaust of enslavement, comparable only to the Native American Holocaust. And we will survive and prevail over the horror, hardship and devastation of this combined natural and man-made disaster. But as we move forward to bury our dead, bandage our wounds, recover our lost ones and rebuild our lives, let us first pause to pay homage to the many thousands dead, to mourn especially the many who died avoidable deaths, casualties of criminal neglect by the established order. Let us reaffirm the uniqueness and equal worthiness of each of their lives, as the Husia teaches, and remind all who would deny it that they were and remain equal bearers of dignity and divinity, regardless of the va...
Recently, baseball returned to Washington, DC for the first time in 34 years. And when the Washington Nationals took the field at RFK Stadium, they played by the same basic rules that have always governed baseball -- three strikes and you're out, four balls and you walk, three outs in an inning, nine innings in a game. Hispanic Americans understand the historical role the courts and government have played in the lives of minorities in extending equal protections and rights. They know that judges and the courts are often the last resort for minorities seeking redress from inadequate or unfair laws. Furthermore, Hispanics, like other minorities, have a great appreciation for rules, like the filibuster, that have guaranteed them a voice in their government. An authoritarian regime in which...
A positive ID on this scurrilous scumbag of plant life isn't difficult. It crawls and creeps. It climbs and chokes. It's focused and resilient. It's fecund and patient. It isn't even ugly. It's bindweed ... wild morning glory ... convolvulus. It's the weed from Hell. And I would say it's back if it had never left. As George Bush once tried to say: "Fool me once, and I'm new at this. Fool me twice, and I'm afflicted with landscape disability syndrome. Fool me again, and I must be Linda Jarsky." (Oh, that was funny, Betula.) Weeds, in many cases exotics who awakened in resource heaven, are plant beings who scheme every minute of every day for another way to subjugate the basic needs of others to the realization of their most extravagant desires. And this is why Betula lost it. Ethnobotani...

Dear Carolyn: My husband and I live an hour from our families, and each lives in a different town. We try hard to spend equal time with each. Yet we are trapped in a constant tug of war between his parents and mine, and between my mother and father, who are divorced. We have an infant son whom they covet, but my mother can't stand that I spend time with my father because of his wife ("that woman"), and my mother-in-law constantly picks at us for visiting my parents "too much." It is starting to seem more like a competition than a desire to see their grandchild. It has gotten so bad that they ask us where we are on weekends to see whether we are at another grandparent's house.
Happy Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month! As the presidential proclamation declared, "Each June, we commemorate the courageous individuals who have fought to achieve this promise for LGBT Americans, and we rededicate ourselves to the pursuit of equal rights for all, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. Equal rights are a worthy cause for commemoration. At least they are unless one lives in Virginia Del. Bob Marshall's America. There, acknowledging gay pride is an "endorsement of costly, anti- social, immoral behavior."
Democratic responses so far reflect external realities: she's inexperienced, knowing little or nothing about foreign policy or national issues; she's really an antifeminist, wanting the government to enter women's lives to block abortion, but not wanting the government to guarantee equal pay for equal work, or provide adequate child health coverage; she shills for the oil and gas industry on drilling; she denies the scientific truths of global warming and evolution; she opposes sex education and her daughter is pregnant; and, rather than being a maverick, she's a radical right-wing ideologue. The Palin nomination changes the game. The initial response has been to keep the focus on external realities, "issues" and differences. But the Palin nomination is not about "issues," but the symbo...
