The Defenders (Short Film / PSA)

So I did a short film earlier this year, an all-volunteer cast & crew, to protest the passage of Proposition 8 here in California, which bans same sex marriage in favor of opposite marriage. The Supreme Court just ruled it constitutional, and the finished PSA was uploaded just after the decision. Click the video for [...]

Queers Control the Weather!

Duhn-duhn-duhhhhhhhhhhhh! A group called the National Organization for Marriage (NOM? They know about the internet meme they’re conflating, right?) has an unintentionally hilarious ad out whining about not being able to discriminate as they please.

Jon Stewart Grills Mike Huckabee on Gay Marriage

A U.N. resolution, to be introduced by the French, is about the weakest statement that could be made (not even in support of homosexuality: simply of decriminalization!), and the Catholic Church [...]

Whether You Like It or Not

It’s not over. Denied a basic civil right, one we’ve fought for over decades, one that was nearly unimaginable when I was a kid, we will not stop fighting for it. Our relationships exist, with or without legal recognition and protection. Like it or not. My favorite sign among many at the Silverlake No-on-8 protest [...]
