I've been reading your blog for a few months now and while I don't quite understand every position you take I do enjoy reading them. Don't lose your sense of humor. The prop. 8 thing has really seemed to take the wind out of your sails. It's only one battle and the war is far from over. And I hope you don't mind me saying, you're cute. peace & love E. N.

"The prop. 8 thing has really seemed to take the wind out of your sails."

On the contrary, Ed -- Prop 8 has re-energized me (and hoepfully all of us) like never before . But yea, I did take it on a deeply personal level, since I had major CA wedding plans that I had to cancel. It was hard to laugh for some time after.

Peace & love right back atcha!

Thank you Jeremy and on behalf of my partner and myself we with you and your partner all the very best wishes for the new year!

Happy New Year! We shall remain strong and fight this fight till we win!

I think that 2008 showed us that as much as things seem to be going our way, we can never let up and never take anything for granted. And, that we can never underestimate the depths to which those who would deny us dignity are willing to stoop. But, I think that we also found allies who are ready to step up and stand with us. We've come a long way, but we have miles to go.

May 2008 serve as a defining moment in our lives. May we never become complacent. May our invigorated zeal serve us well in the coming year. And, may we all enjoy health, peace and happiness.

Thank you, Jeremy, for being so diligent and for being the voice that we need. Happy New Year to you and all of yours.

And, Happy New Year to everyone - we deserve it.

Jeremy,

Happy New Year to you and yours!

thanks for maintaining this site! I love it!

Great job (and quite articulate). As a long-time reader, it's always great to see you in person. Keep up the good work. I'm trying to do the same out on the left coast (where apparently we STILL have a long hill to climb).

Thank you Jeremy, and Happy New Year to you and the man you love.

Thank you Jeremy. . , for the 2008 and 2009 tapes. Annus Horribilus or Annus Mirabilis? Both can be said of 2008. Now at the 40th Anniv Year of STONEWALL ....we are just beginning STONEWALL 2.0. and have you, and lots of others, to lead us on our way. But our leaders must do it LOUDLY, not apologetically,...or we run the risk of just getting in line and run over, like we have been doing.

Here, this is from MLK's Letter from a Birmingham jail. (see PHB Diary for first of a TWO part series. Comparing Gay Rights to Desegregation.

"My friends, I must say to you that we have not made a single gain in Civil rights without determined legal and nonviolent pressure. Lamentably, it is an historical fact that privileged groups seldom give up their privileges voluntarily . . . we know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed . . . . there is a type of constructive, nonviolent tension which is necessary for growth. Just as Socrates felt that it was necessary to create a tension in the mind so that individuals could rise from the bondage of myths and half-truths to the unfettered realm of creative analysis and objective appraisal, so must we see the need for nonviolent GADFLIES to create the kind of tension in society that will help men rise from the dark depths of prejudice and racism to the majestic heights of understanding and brotherhood."

Keep being our GADFLY Jeremy... (and its okay not to wear pants doing videos...just don't stand up...wait and do that in 2009 at rallies!!!)

Best to you, and all yours
