REFERENDUM 71

To all of you Washington State registered voters, below is the language which will be used on the ballots for Referendum 71.

Is it a Choice or Not?

I just got done reading and commenting on an online friend’s journal post in which one of his old classmates finally got up the nerve to ask my friend if he is gay. He responded in the affirmative and thus began a discussion of the typical topics that come up when someone is new to [...]

The Gays and My Opinions

I’ve been paying a bit more attention to the news with regard to gay-related topics lately.

Thoughts of Memories

I’m one of those people that thinks that people need to get over their old childhood horrors and move on. Even so, I still recall my awful experience during a period of my childhood commonly referred to as “School Age.” It was a miserable time for me. I’ve lately been adding (and been added by) [...]
