Harry Hay

Even though I’m posting a lot, I’m still not finding time for everything I want to mention. I was very remiss in not talking about the passing of gay hero and activist Harry Hay. James has several good posts about him.

One of the fabulous artists in the Barry and James collection has a new web site!

She’s adorable, and she’s in a band!

Can't be an Atheist in the Boy Scouts

From CNN: Atheist Scout given a week to declare belief

“We’ve asked him to search his heart, to confer with family members, to give this great thought,” Brad Farmer, the Scout executive of the Chief Seattle Council of the Boy Scouts, told The Sun of Bremerton.
