Ok, I've been way to heteronormative lately - I mean, I haven't mentioned homosexuality in like what - three posts? This is unacceptable.*

So, here is a fun article from "The New Gay" website, which a friend introduced me to:

A third link, also courtesy of a friend. Recently, there have been some attacks on clinics that offer abortions, including the assasination of a doctor in the midwest who performs abortions, as he was coming out of church. This doctor's assasination led some on the right to wonder if they were being too virulent in their anti-abortion rhetoric, if perhaps it had inspired the murderer. For the most part however, these introspective voices - among whom was Shepher Smith of Fox News - were shut down, and the virulence went back to normal.

Apparently, there was another attack this week on a clinic that offers abortions - and the press barely reacted:

Rachel Maddow, who generally does a great job of covering both womens' health and GLBTQ issues, covered Dr. Tiller's death extensively, and was involved in a documentary about it. Here is the link: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/39826272/ns/msnbc_tv-documentaries/t/maddow-assassination-dr-tiller/

* Almost as unacceptable as mocking oneself on the internet
