Go see "Milk"

If you haven't gone to see "Milk" yet, go. I found it a remarkably moving film about Harvey Milk, poltical activist, politician and martyr.

It worked for me on a number of levels. First, it illustrated quite movingly, how far we've come in the Gay Rights movement in such a short period of time. Second, it had a number of parallels between the Anita Bryants and the Dade County anti-gay legislation of 30 years ago with today's reaction to the California's Prop 8 legislation today.

We need more politicians of conscience and after the eight years of the second Bush presidency, we'll get them.

Wow. That's some yard.

Wow. That's some yard.

I Hate Good-byes...

These days thanks to the ubiquitous nature of email, IM, and social networks physical proximity isn't as required for friendships the way it once was. But even with that said, I still hate saying good-bye both when I leave and when friends leave. Part of it is my own chickenshit nature: my inability to directly face adversity. I would much rather take my leave quickly and out of sight than work a room of friends.

Which is probably why I'm glad that I have friends that won't let me get away with that sort of thing. But I think that's what makes a friend a friend -- their way of pushing you to be more than you can be.
