My favorite part of the evening was Rosario’s opening monologue. In the context of this historical weekend, Rosario got to passionately introduce on live TV her involvement with the civic group, which she helped co-found- VOTO LATINO. Read more about VOTO LATINO!

Gay Cousin Teddy on Equality Matters – A Facebook LGBTQ Political Action

Facebook Political Action

Facebook Political Action

Gay Cousin Teddy reports about the Facebook political action of which many (including myself) have been part.

During this historic week, thousands will be changing their picture and status on Facebook and other social networking sites in order to draw attention to marriage equality. The hope is to draw attention to the marriage debate and the reasons why marriage equality is important to the LGBT community. The goal is to raise awareness to the 1138 rights and privileges afforded to married couples. The hope of course is that more people will recognize this as a civil rights issue and not that of an argument of forcibly changing religious doctrine. – Gay Cousin Teddy

Vincenzo and I went all through one section of Richmond taking shots with the wrong exposure setting. We freaked out when we discovered that we took over 100 exposures and had to retrace our steps. I’ve been tinkering with many of them in Photoshop which appear completely dark but have some information hiding there. I’m turning them into these grainy B&W shots.

The Emergency Landing of Flight 1549 – A Metaphor for the United States?

Taken from ABC Local News Website

I immediately thought last evening that the emergency landing of US Airways Flight 1549 is a metaphor for the United States and Obama is the pilot. Can he safely land with two engines out- our economy in shambles and our dubious reputation abroad? Well of course after doing a search for this metaphor, it has also come to the minds of many. Here are some bloglinks to these metaphors:

An End to Don't Ask, Don't Tell?

President Obama will end the 15-year-old “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy that has prevented homosexual and bisexual men and women from serving openly within the U.S. military, a spokesman for the president-elect said.SF Chronicle

Let’s just hope Obama doesn’t screw this up as bad as Clinton.
