Despite the fact that I like Kara Kelty, I’ve been decidedly agnostic about the Flagstaff Mayor’s race. I’ll admit it: as a Southern Arizonan and desert dweller, much about Flagstaff puzzles me. Why are the trees so green? What is with that cold, white stuff on the ground in the winter months?
Needless to say, I’ve [...]
Back when my Mom was a teenager, she worked at Lucky Wishbone (how much more Tucson can you get). Just for grins, she used to ask customers if they prefered their order in a bag or a sack.
This was an actual stumper for some people.
A new poll finds that, apparently, twelve percent of Americans believe [...]
Congrats to Mari Herreras who is willing to call out Cindy McCain’s hypocritical high profile opposition to Prop. 8 in California (a bit late on that, right?) while her opposition was nowhere to be found against her own state’s similarly minded Prop 102. Will she be speaking out against that one too? Or will she only [...]
The silliness coming from the right about Amanda Simpson’s appointment make me wonder just how qualified a “minority” person has to be before these guys won’t allege tokenism.
Newly appointed police chief Roberto Villaseñor will be doing an event to reach out to Tucson’s gay and lesbian community tonight. He’ll be participating in an event called “Meet Greet & Sing,” which will be a karaoke night over at Woody’s, a bar at 3710 N Oracle. The event starts at 9:00 PM and runs [...]
Steve King is warning that the decision of the Iowa Supreme Court will make Iowa in to a Gay “Mecca.” King knows the story, ’cause he read it in a pamphlet that came to his house from Pueblo, Colorado. The underground homosexual population of Des Moines is ruining the soil to make landing strips for [...]
I know that a lot of y’all can’t stand Andrew Sullivan. There are many times that he infuriates me. Even when he does, though, it makes me think. But, check out this post that he did as part of an ongoing discussion about Ted Haggard and broader questions about religion and homosexuality. Money quote:
This is [...]
The movie “Milk” is playing in Tucson at two theaters, El Con and Harkins Tucson Spectrum 12 near I-19 and Irvington.
The El Con theater is owned by Cinemark. The CEO of Cinemark, Alan Stock, gave nearly $10,000 to the campaign for Proposition 8 in California.
Obviously, Mr. Stock has trouble with dignity for gays and lesbians. [...]
Mark Kerr over at the Tucson Observer notes that the ads being run for Florida’s “marriage” ballot proposition are identical to those being run here in Arizona. His question is how two groups can claim they paid to produce the same ad. Are they allowed to split the costs on this sort of thing?
