		<description><![CDATA[Abomination?! Obama-nation!
A fabulous line-up of artists mock the hate and rhetoric that allowed Prop 8 to pass in California. It&#8217;s a wonderful bunch of folks and you have to look closely to identify them, since this truly is an ensemble effort. 


Regarding the rhetoric that Prop 8 would mean teaching children about sex, the &#8220;Gays&#8221; [...]]]></description>

Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I adore Melissa Etheridge, and I am glad that she is &#8220;allowed&#8221; to perform on the property of a Catholic College &#8212; even though she dares to live a life out loud with her partner and their children.  
Still, the latest local effort for the Catholic Church to distance itself [...]]]></description>

Comedienne and cleaning spokesperson Diane Amos recently spoke to the San Francisco Bay Times about drawing from her life experience for material for her stand-up.
She says that talking about coming from a gay-parented family in her comedy worked to her advantage because other comedians couldn&#8217;t steal her material!  Good point.
Excerpt:

The Lifetime Network has poached Ian Ziering from his success on &#8220;Dancing with the Stars&#8221; and added their own &#8220;twist&#8221; for a new dance competition. (There&#8217;s always a twist, isn&#8217;t there?)

&#8220;Fading to Grey&#8221; is about the 25th anniversary of a gay couple, and includes an adult son of one of the men  &#8212; a result of a one-night stand. I am not yet able to find a review for [...]]]></description>
