Queens Mourns Slain Gay Rights Activist Saturday






Among the many stories that were put aside, but not forgotten, amidst the devastation of Hurricane Sandy was the heartbreaking tale of Lou Rispoli, a gay 62-year-old Queens man beaten so badly early on October 20 that his family had to take him off life support five days later. And so with his killers still at large, local Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer on Saturday is holding a candlelight

#LGBT Voters Gave Obama Edge in 2012 Election

Looking at the Power Within Us All




My story in the new anthology For Colored Boys Who Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Still Not Enough (http:/www.4coloredboys.com) is about a moment of recognizing the pitfalls of love and facing the reality of ending a relationship when you truly love someone—albeit filled with pretty words and poetic prose.

A Listener Takes Bigoted Dr. Laura To Task





On her radio show, Dr. Laura said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance.
