Jene Newsome played by the rules as an Air Force sergeant: She never told anyone in the military she was a lesbian. The 28-year-old's honorable discharge under the "don't ask, don't tell" policy came only after police officers in Rapid City, S.D., saw an Iowa marriage
One Step Forward, Two Steps Back
For those who don't know, you can now get married in D.C.! yay for the gays. It became official this past Tuesday and while the turnout wasn't as spectacular in numbers as it was in California, it wasn't any less significant. But my favourite part of it is that we're seeing black couples get married. not a big deal u say? well everytime someone speaks of blacks and gays
Small But Significant
i ran across a heated debate online about reggie bush on the cover of Essence magazine. i really didn't have a dog in that fight so i merely observed. as a result, when i ran across the magazine on someone's table. i picked it up 2 c what all the hubbub was about. i never found out but did run across a page on relationships. and way down in
