I’ve always thought Daniel Radcliffe was a big ol’ bottom of a twink an awesome person. He recently recorded a PSA for the Trevor Project, the nationwide suicide prevention hotline that recently set up a chapter in Tulare county. It will begin airing this spring.
Rick Santorum, the guy who once famously compared homosexuality to bestiality and thus prompted Dan Savage to coin the term santorum to describe something else entirely, gave a speech today at CPAC that touched on the subject of DADT. The typical conservative line on DADT has been that the policy shouldn’t change because according to military brass it works just fine. Except now of course Admiral Mike Mullen came out against so now apparently the opinions of the higher ups don’t matter because they’ve been brainwashed:
Addressing how the military leadership, led by Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mike Mullen, could now favor a repeal of the law, Santorum raised the specter of brainwashing.
“Political correctness is reigning in the military right now,” he said. “”Some people say: [Do] whatever the generals say [on DADT]. I’m not too sure that we haven’t so indoctrinated the officer corps in this country that they can actually see straight to make the right decision.”
Oh and did I mention that Mr. Santorum has been visiting early primary states recently? I’m almost secretly hoping he does run – watching him and Sarah Palin have a battle of wits would be epic!
And the big question is… will YOU be there?

From Tulare County PFLAG comes a chance to show your creative side and have some fun:
Hi friends -
Many of you know me as a straight ally for SSM rights. Now I have something fun to share, and I hope you can help me if these activities look fun to you, or to help me get them to someone who might be who I am looking for.
I am working as a producer for a short film being made in the Porterville area in late March.
I need extras and crew helpers (aka “PAs – Production Assistants”) to help.
The casting notice is online at http://visalia.craigslist.org/tlg/1584259673.html and is copied in this email below.
As many as 15-20 extras are need, ages 15 and up.
There is information about the PA positions online at http://visalia.craigslist.org/cwg/1584610422.html
I can probably use at least 5 PAs per day during the entire period, and you need not be available every day, so don’t be shy.
You can read about the film and director at http://mikethefilmmaker.com/garden/
Please pass this all along to other lists that might be helpful. I have been told that there is a Tulare LGBTQ list (which I am not on) that might be especially helpful.
Thanks in advance,

From the Empty Space Theater in Bakersfield comes a weekend chock-full of performances. First up is Super Villian!
The world mourns the death of Earth’s greatest super hero, Excelsior… but no one is more upset than The Remote, the super villain that spent his life fighting Excelsior, but was not the one to kill him. Without a super hero to fight, The Remote is no longer seen as a super villain, just a fool in a silly costume. With help from his friends, The Remote must pull himself up from rock bottom if he is ever to be known as a super villain again.
Winner of 8 awards and rave reviews, James Kopp’s comic book comedy, Super Villain, swings back to The Empty Space with new scenes for one encore weekend, running for two nights only, Feb. 5th & 6th at 8 PM. For reservations call 661-327-PLAYAdmission is free, with a suggested donation of $15 for adults, $10 for students/seniors.
Also playing this weekend is the Rocky Horror Picture Show:

Are you one of 1,000?
On Saturday, February 6th, 2010 people from across the state will come together in unison to take action in repealing Proposition 8 and restoring marriage equality in California. This will be the biggest statewide event planned to gather 100,000+ signatures to repeal Proposition 8 in a single day! It’s a hefty challenge, but it’s one that we are ready to take on. If we have 1,000 volunteers and they each collect 100 signatures, we’ve met our goal. This is your chance to prove that you’re serious about equality. Every day that goes by is another day that we allow discrimination to be written into the constitution. It doesn’t matter what your sexual orientation is. It doesn’t matter what your political party affiliation is. Race doesn’t matter, and neither does gender, religion, age, etc. This is a human issue. It’s an equality issue, and equality knows no bounds.
