Proctor and Gamble Boycott
I read about the right-wing boycott of Proctor and Gamble. Well, I suppose they're entitled to boycott just like the gay community does. But in their case, they may find it tough to find cleaning products which may make them smelly. Well, we'll know who they are.
Some people came over to look at our house this past week. I guess they are building one with a similar floor plan and wanted to see what it would look like. I think we confused them a bit because the woman saw the spare bed and asked which of us lives in the basement.
How is it that gas prices can be $1.68 one day and $1.99 the next? And why is it that I always forget to tank up when it's cheaper?
Jimmy Swaggart made some comments earlier in the week about how he'd kill a gay person if they "looked at him like that." What ever. Wasn't he found with a prostitute at one time? He later apologized saying he meant it as a joke. I'm not sure I could see how he'd be joking by saying that, and I for one do not accept his apology.
The Presidential debates will be starting soon with the first one on Thursday, Sept. 30. I'll be very interested to see how they go. It'll also be interesting to see how the media reacts and who they deem to be the winner. Set your TiVos!
An article about the Repressive Era in Russia says laws from that time may be returning. Up until 1993 it was illegal to be gay in Russia and was punishable with jail time. Although that law no longer exists, the Russian Orthodox Church is trying to relive old times and have tried to enact several laws that would target queer folks over there. What frightens me about the whole thing, besides my fear for gay folks in Russia, is that after the gay marriage debate is done here the right-wingers will need something else to attack us on.
