Washington, DC, USA. Representative Barney Frank of Massachusetts breached what had become a polite protocol in Washington that exempts the US Supreme Court from partisan wrangling and personal attacks, by referring to U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia as a "homophobe" during an interview with 365Gay.com.
Respectful relations between the separate branches of our government are essential to our democracy.
We believe Barney Frank should apologize to Justice Scalia and the rest of the Supreme Court for his intemperate remarks.

TS-Si Sunday, 23 September 2007 Metro DC community and Mautner host memorials
Washington, DC, USA. Cheryl Ann Spector delivered far more than she ever promised. Ms. Spector worked ceaselessly to secure equal rights, to the great benefit of anyone who values a just and civil society.
While her work had immediate benefit to our neighbors who are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transsexual, and transgendered, she was loved for her personal qualities and over a generation of dedicated community service.

TS-Si Sunday, 19 August 2007 Ms. Soto was mistreated; who is next?
Springfield, VA, USA. We would be remiss if we did not address the latest fiasco involving the Washington, DC corrections system. The District's officers strip searched a female bodied person and then assigned her to facilities with male bodied persons.
This episode raises troubling questions — yet again — about the DC system and the safety of anyone ensnared by its incompetence.
The errors were system-wide a |
