Joe Mannetti IT'S HARD TO REMOVE THE "ASS" FROM "ASSIMILATION!"

One of the great things about getting older is that you care less about petty things like A-List approval or mainstream acceptance. That leads me to the topic that I wish to discuss - and ALL the issues connected to it.



ASSIMILATION.



Wikipedia online defines assimilation:

"Cultural assimilation is the adoption by an individual of some or all aspects of a dominant culture. Cultural assimilation is a process of socialization. It can be a voluntary process,… Continue

Andrew Mager Harvey Milk Day now an official California Holiday

"Harvey Milk Day, a state day to honor the slain San Francisco gay rights advocate, is now official in California thanks to a somewhat unexpected signature Monday from Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has vetoed such legislation in the past."

Here is the article on SF Gate:

David Watters CHRIS MASON | DRIVING EQUALITY

You can't see anything from a car; you've got to get out of the goddamn contraption and walk, better yet crawl, on hands and knees, over the sandstone and through the thorn-brush and cactus. When traces of blood begin to mark your trail, you'll see something, maybe. ~Edward Abbey



CHRIS MASON



Chris Mason, who is the inspiring figure behind Driving Equality (http://drivingequality.com/) and a full-time student majoring in Peace and Justice Studies at Tufts University, has… Continue

David Watters NEVER BLEND IN: THE DEADLIEST OF SINS (INCLUDES AN INTERVIEW WITH DJ Reed McGowan)

NEVER BLEND IN: THE DEADLIEST OF SINS



Researched and Written by David Watters







"Someday, maybe, there will exist a well-informed, well-considered, and yet fervent public conviction that the most deadly of all possible sins is the mutilation of a child's spirit." Erik Erikson (1902-1994)







The transition through adolescence is challenging for many as this is a period where identity is most vigorously being shaped. If, during this time, a… Continue

Tabitha Creative Arts Group...of some sort

A month ago, I was ready to run away to San Francisco and leave this town behind after I graduate. Lately I have been thinking hard about who is going to clean up this town. Everyone talks about leaving Marion because Marion is a shithole. But, no one gives suggestions about how to make Marion a better place. Now, I'm taking that task upon myself. I don't know if I will make a living, or if I will be able to retain my sanity. That has yet to be seen. However, I am going to stay in Marion, and… Continue

SunshineCJ17 Are we Ever Really Free?

Photobucket

I believe that in life, there is more to it than meets the eye. And socially, I believe everyone is trying to be the same. And everyday people are ruled by their pathetic life's drama: media, parents, friends, political crap, etc.. I am one of those people who hates being bound or better yet, restrained from what I feel. Whether it be truth, clothes,… Continue

Tabitha The minority

The other day, I was having a conversation with my sister about gay marriage. She said she didn't really agree with it, but she didn't think it was a big deal either. I told her that I didn't think that the majority should be voting on an issue that only affects (effects? ugh) the minority. She gave me a raised eyebrow at this comment.



It made me really ponder the idea. Why should I be able to vote on an issue that will not change my life in any way? Well, besides the fact that my… Continue

Enrique Gutierrez Paterson Unveils Same-Sex Marriage Bill

Gov. David A. Paterson on Thursday announced he would introduce a bill to legalize same-sex marriage, drawing on the soaring oratory of the civil rights movement to call on the Legislature to add New York to the four states that have already authorized such unions.



Comparing the status of gay men and lesbians to that of African-Americans, Jews, women and other groups who were historically excluded from full political and social equality, Mr. Paterson said he would lead a movement to… Continue
