Gay rights are not some "slippery slope". All people are people, regardless of anything else that happens in their lives... The only way it is fair to remove rights is if they are a convicted criminal; until then current laws (or lack thereof) are just unacceptable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3955615969511521360.post-56804564076034754632009-01-17T12:43:00.000-07:002009-01-17T12:43:00.000-07:00How about posting a link to lobby against gay righ...How about posting a link to lobby against gay rights to be fair.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3955615969511521360.post-65536969893744835922009-01-16T11:56:00.000-07:002009-01-16T11:56:00.000-07:00In the interest of (fairly) presenting the other (...In the interest of (fairly) presenting the other (right and responsible) side of the issue, I ran across this newsletter item this morning.<BR/><BR/>http://sutherlandinstitute.org/newsletter/newsletter.asp?n=105Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3955615969511521360.post-21863318799874411192009-01-15T12:18:00.000-07:002009-01-15T12:18:00.000-07:00Ms. Mullen preaches that public reaction, even neg...Ms. Mullen preaches that public reaction, even negative reaction, to CW articles is good. She also believes name calling to get that reaction is proper writing technique. That is why all Utahan’s are “Slobs” and all legislators are “Neanderthals.” It is surprising because she also preaches that broad labeling statements are discriminatory and are wrong. I guess this is just another example of someone not practicing what they preach. <BR/><BR/>Public reaction to edgy well written articles is good.

All showings I attempted were already sold out. My friends tell me the same for the local ticket sales. Anywhooo, I'm just saying, boycotting Sundance is shooting off your nose, etc. Many of the greatest films in gay cinema have found their first voice at the festival.
