Tonight on SistersTalk Radio, we interviewed out and proud musician Tom Goss.
Tom grew up in Kenosha, Wisconsin. He spent his childhood in the gym with his gymnast parents and brothers, but switched to wresting in junior high—a better outlet for some serious teenage aggression—and stuck with it through college.
Music was another, more enduring passion. His mom bought him a gu… Continue

He has played a hardened ex-convict, a mentally challenged man and a California stoner. But Sean Penn's current portrayal of a gay politician has some critics calling it his best performance ever.
How this tough-guy, straight actor was able to step into the shoes of Harvey Milk, the country's first openly gay politician, in the new film "Milk" is as much a testament to Penn's talent as it is to a culture that has become more accepting of gays.
Yet, while Penn receives raves for his performance… Continue
In the latest sign that the battle over same-sex marriage is far from over, the Legislature's gay and lesbian caucus and Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg on Tuesday introduced a resolution opposing Proposition 8.
The non-binding resolution, introduced on the second day of the new legislative session, seeks to put the Legislature on record as declaring the gay-marriage ban approved by voters last month was an improper revision of the state constitution.
Sen. Mark Leno, D-San Francisco… Continue

Ask 30-year real estate professional Patrick Lynn what kind of impact the gay, lesbian and bisexual community has on the greater San Diego real estate market and he'll tell you it's just the same as any other group, except that it has strong buying power.
The annual estimated value of the gay and lesbian market nationally is $515 billion and, because most same-sex couples do not have children, they have more discretionary spending money than their straight counterparts.
"I think the power of… Continue

The Pulse of Equality survey, commissioned by the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) and released today, shows a majority of Americans favors a broad range of policies and protections for gays, as well as supporting them as adoptive parents.

Arizona voters last month approved an amendment to the state constitution defining marriage as "only a union of one man and one woman"--just two years after they rejected a similar though broader amendment, making Arizona the first state in the Union to reject a ballot initiative aimed at preventing gay marriage. What happened between 2006, when Proposition 107 was narrowly rejected, and 2008, when Proposition 102 breezed through?
The Prop. 107 campaign unfolded against a backdrop of consistent… Continue

A gay version of the Bible, in which God says it is better to be gay than straight, is to be published by an American film producer.
New Mexico-based Revision Studios will publish The Princess Diana Bible – so named because of Diana's "many good works", it says – online at princessdianabible.com in spring 2009. A preview of Genesis is already available, in which instead of creating Adam and Eve, God creates Aida and Eve.
"And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Aida, and she slept: a… Continue

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Gay rights groups and newspaper editorials on Tuesday condemned the Vatican for its decision to oppose a proposed U.N. resolution calling on governments worldwide to de-criminalise homosexuality.
The row erupted after the Vatican's permanent observer to the United Nations told a French Catholic news agency the Holy See would oppose the resolution, which France is due to propose later this month on behalf of the 27-member European Union.
Archbishop Celestino Migliore sa… Continue
