This is positively a step in the right direction, though we have a long way to go before we achieve true and full equality for all LGBT persons. It is a sad fact that a large segment of society still regards gay men and women, among various minorities, as second-class citizens - or worse. That is the salient point of my recently released biographical novel, Broken Saint. It is based on my forty-year friendship with a gay man, and chronicles his internal and external struggles as he battles for acceptance (of himself and by others).

I would challenge LaSalvia to stop talking and 'stirring the pot' and find ways to WORK WITH Obama instead of criticizing him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For example, Mr. LaSalvia, what have you done, so far, to reach across the aisle, to work with the Obama Administration on GLBT issues?  And, what will you do this coming week to do so?</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8221068378890991039/2203792726440278786/comments/default/6237625159475493798'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8221068378890991039/2203792726440278786/comments/default/6237625159475493798'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://echelonmagazine.blogspot.com/2009/06/goproud-praises-former-vice-president.html?showComment=1243955924322#c6237625159475493798' title=''/><author><name>coachsappho</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05919525890003541408</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='02417451551963370656'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://echelonmagazine.blogspot.com/2009/06/goproud-praises-former-vice-president.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221068378890991039.post-2203792726440278786' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8221068378890991039/posts/default/2203792726440278786' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221068378890991039.post-3098353075787248209</id><published>2009-06-02T08:05:39.897-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-02T08:05:39.897-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Well, I know Cheney has spoken up before on the is...</title><content type='html'>Well, I know Cheney has spoken up before on the issue of gay marriage but, isn't it awfully easy for him to speak up now, when he has little to no power?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If Cheney truly cared, why didn't he do more for gays while he was in office???

These agencies can offer you classified ad space at special discounts. This is also a great opportunity especially if you are setting up a new business or are tight on your advertising budget.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;When you use a professional ad agency, you tend to receive an early notice of the special offers and prices and also a considerable reduction in the advertising rate for national press. So help your business grow by promoting it in the low priced publications.
