Things That Have Happened Since Last We Spoke
- Our show opened. The cast, crew, and I survived with non-life-threatening injuries. Hoofreakinray.
- My sister released promo videos for her new CD, DVD, and boxed set. That boxed set is looking awfully literal.
- The US Senate held hearings on the pros and cons of offering domestic partner benefits to federal employees. (Which would finally bring the feds in line with most Fortune 500 companies and many American cities. Also: Ecuador.) Pretty major news, pretty minimal coverage.
- A teenager in Iran has been sentenced to death. For being gay.
- Across the border, the man who tried to make Iraq a marginally safer place for gays and lesbians has been assassinated.
- John Stewart got all Smartypants McGee and made me love him even more. Stephen Colbert was there, too.
- Nagin’s administrative trainwreck has damaged yet another group of innocent bystanders–this time, those living with HIV and AIDS.
- Billy went back on his word. He said he’d never play again. Well, it’s on, Mr. Corgan. It’s so on.
