The Fascist States of America: The proof is right here

The Fascist States of America: The proof is right here
I’ve been arguing since January that the United States is becoming or has become a fascist nation. I posted a list of characteristics in January. Earlier today I posted the evidence of the intertwining of corporations and government. Now I am using the characteristics and taking each point by point. So let me lay it all out for you. Please spread the word. Talk about what is happening to... 

Fascist States of America – There is no doubt about it

Fascist States of America – There is no doubt about it
The United States is a fascist country.  Here is what we know about the merging of corporate interest and government in this country right now: 1. The corporate world and the government are virtually indistinguishable.  People who work in the corporate world can become elected officials, and people who leave government  go to work for corporations as lobbyists.  Our SCOTUS has allowed corporations...

Reflections of a Teen Lesbian Now in Middle Age

Reflections of a Teen Lesbian Now in Middle Age
When I first began trying to peek into lesbian life, there weren’t very many places to go for information.  Today there are many ways to get information, to help young lesbians through the early years of identification and acceptance.  I had met a few lesbians in my teen years.  My parents paid for private tennis lessons one summer, and the instructor, Marion, was a lesbian.  I didn’t know...

Big Gay Love

Big Gay Love
Big Love–the story of a polygamous fundamentalist Mormon family–is a great show.  I just can’t get enough of it.  I grew up among Mormons and attended the church with friends from time to time.  My parents joined up for several years.  And I understand that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints has made some noise about exposing sacred rituals on the program and not getting...

Pity me! I Am But A Victim Of A Cruel Twist Of Fate!

Pity me!  I Am But A Victim Of A Cruel Twist Of Fate!
Most if not all behavior has genetic underpinnings.  There is just no question about it.  Psychologists’ take on the causes of homosexuality has not changed much in recent years.  Studies examining fraternal and identical twins indicate that genes are part of the equation.  If one of a pair of identical twins is gay, the likelihood that the other twin is also gay is much higher than for fraternal...

Why I Fight For Our Right To Marry

Why I Fight For Our Right To Marry
I’d like to welcome new writer Leslie Basden to AWOP’s GLBTQ page.  Leslie is a writer and a substance abuse counselor who works primarily with male inmates and parolees coming through the criminal justice system.  She resides with her long time partner (and now spouse) and is second mother to their grown daughter. I admit that I’m still reeling from the voters’ setting aside of equal...
