Mrs. Kramer vs. Mrs. Kramer
"It's an old story—parents split and fight for custody. But when both are women, and one says she is no longer gay, it gets complicated."

Isabella prefers to skip rather than walk down the long halls of the Thomas Road Baptist Church in Lynchburg, Va. With each springy step, the first grader's butterfly-print dress puffs full of air, giving her the appearance of weightlessness. She swings a… Continue

Marketing YOU Web 2.0 Style
1)The large job boards are ineffective for both sides of the equation.
2) Recruiters complain that they get spammed with thousands of resumes and less than 1% of them are qualified candidates.
3) The reason for this is because large jobs boards encourage mass emailing of applications and resumes as if volume is quality.
4) However, candidates typically don't… Continue

Linking Diversity-friendly Employers with top LGBT Talent

Newsweek Cover: Gay Marriage and the Bible
So says the Newsweek cover story, and indeed, the article provides an articulate example of the long accepted premise that you can use the Bible to support virtually any position on virtually any subject.

Letter to The Denver Post..." Thanks, but No Thanks to Civil Unions!"
“Thanks, but no thanks!” When I married my partner at the Metropolitan Community Church of the Rockies in 2004, I did not sign up for a civil union. When Referendum I was on the ballot in 2006, I voted “NO” because I did not want a civil union and I celebrated it’s defeat. When my partner and I were legally married in California four months ago, we pledged our love in marriage, not in a civil union. When thousands… Continue

For example, responding to Vermont’s Civil Unions legi… Continue
