Filed Under LGBT, Politics | Leave a Comment

What do you think is the best way to move LGBT-equality issues to the front burner in Washington?
Professional and grass-roots lobbying
Elect more LGBT and pro-LGBT candidates
Direct action or civil disobedience
All of the above
Not sure

  • 00:11 @DearBadKitty Aaah, not sure how I missed the connection there. #
  • 01:30 If ego smelled liked cow manure, Twitter and Facebook would smell like a farm right about now. #
  • 01:31 With that said, I’m off to open some windows and air the place out. Goodnight everyone! #

  • 11:42 I’m following @Jesus on Twitter. Does that make me a born again Christian? #
  • 12:27 I’m not sure why people feel the need to remind me that I’m a lezzie. I know that already. So does my girlfriend. #
  • 12:30 @Snapperpacheco LOL! Thanks for the reminder. My memory is SHOT. #
  • 18:49 Sitting in Equality Across America (EAA) National Conference Call. Discussing: regional conferences, Harvey Milk Day and next steps. #

  • 19:01 We want to make sure that people don’t think they HAVE to get arrested in order to get involved [in direct action]. – Sherry Wolf #
  • 19:16 The EAA call is being used to remind people that THREE people were arrested in DC recently – not just Dan Choi. #
  • 19:19 And actually, it was more than three. I certainly hope the actions in DC were meant for the movement – and not egos. #
  • 19:20 @dymsum Yeah, she’s on the call. And I quoted a couple of things she said. #
  • 19:28 @brewsternorth Yes, if you rely solely on the mainstream media, that’s the story you’ll get. #
  • 19:35 @wonderwillow and @whitney86, Yep. bit.ly/dCcfTo #
  • 19:39 "We need an entire summer of action, not just a day of action." (unknown participant on the EAA conference call.) #
  • 19:45 @RealLifeUnplugd That’s really, really good to hear. I’m hearing a lot of "What about ME?! I was there, too!" #
  • 20:14 Ok, lots to accomplish tonight. No more Twitterland for now. (I think) #

  • 16:07 @Dyke67ny And I do believe that jail was their goal. If they hadn’t been arrested, it wouldn’t have been news. #
  • 16:15 @Cherilnc You’re very welcome. We love that book. Ok, I lied. We love the sex scenes in that book. Ha! #
  • 16:19 @Cherilnc Ha! That’s a good question. I finished my census, just waiting for my @QueertheCensus sticker so I can mail it in. #

  • 08:51 @JaynaPonder and @PinkBatPrincess – I spoke the truth as I know it. That will always be the way I do things. #
  • 08:53 And with that said, I have an opening on STR on 4/25/2010 to discuss trans issues. Guest suggestions welcomed. #
  • 09:03 @JaynaPonder And it is your right to make that decision – a decision I respect. As it’s my right to always speak the truth as I know it. #
  • 09:05 @polerin Looking up Marissa Richmond right now. Thanks! #
  • 09:07 @GenoPunk Noted. #
  • 09:07 @polerin Wow! I found Marissa. How did I miss this great story? bit.ly/avtRxV #
  • 09:11 @polerin Just my luck. I can’t find Marissa on Facebook. #
  • 09:13 @JaynaPonder You had an opportunity to enlighten me on 4/25/2010, but you declined the offer. #
  • 09:25 @burgerbecky Sorry for the shorthand. STR = SistersTalk Radio. I shouldn’t assume everyone knows what that is. #
  • 09:29 @polerin Once I got the spelling of her name right, I was able to find an email address. Thanks again! #
  • 09:37 I’ve been under a pop-culture rock. Thanks to @JaySays, I just learned about TRANSform Me: bit.ly/czS6Ck #
  • 09:52 @burgerbecky A word of caution is warranted. We’re not very good at being PC. It drives me nuts & limits authenticity. #
  • 11:46 @PhinLi Thanks for the suggestions. I will take a look as soon as I can. #
  • 11:49 @PhinLi I met @Ignacio_Rivera at #CC10. I think my assistant producer has tried contacting them already. #
  • 12:34 Very excited to announce that @LaverneCox from VH1′s ‘TRANSform Me’ will be on SistersTalkRadio on 4/4/2010 at 5pm CST! #
  • 12:53 I’m looking for a small, easy-to-use, portable and affordable projector (for doing presentations). Any suggestions? #
  • 13:09 @promodiva Thank you! #
  • 13:58 @Snapperpacheco I saw that one. The reviews weren’t that great. #
  • 14:09 @wvmtngrl07 When they say "take back OUR country," do they mean the country they took from someone else? #tcot #ratbastards #
  • 14:10 @wvmtngrl07 And, if that’s what they mean, do they plan to give the country BACK to the people THEY took it from? #tcot #ratbastards #
