“An Open Letter to Kate Bornstein” by Quinnae (at Questioning Transphobia). Follow Up for Kate, by Tobi Hill-Meyer.
I am probably late in the game in my linkage, as these have been making the internet rounds. But if you haven’t seen these pieces yet: They are smart and fierce, and very much worth a read.

Remembering Rev. Paul Fairley: "Connecting with... →
I went to Metropolitan Community Church Toronto tonight, to light a candle for my friend Rev. Paul Fairley, who died of cancer in late 2008.

I knew that his work as a theologian and spiritual worker meant a...

I am going to Toronto tomorrow, yay! Does anybody in the US who frequently travels to Canada have good advice re: what to do for my phone situation when I’m in Toronto?

VOTE TODAY, folks! The polls don't close for... →
I’m mostly going off these guides. And hey, San Franciscans!!!: *YES on AA, A, C, D, E, I, J, M, N.
