Two guys: two secrets

I received two (printed!) new books today from amazon:
1) Secret Historian: The Life and Times of Samuel Steward, Professor, Tattoo Artist, and Sexual Renegade.
2) A Great Unrecorded History: A New Life of E. M. Forster
Both biographies about (gay) writers I really like. I am not sure how to read these - being used to ebooks ;-) - but I will give them a try.

Indeed a change that matters... - The Democrats new Civile Rights section.

According to the Democratic Party's new "Civil Rights" section of its website:
Democrats are committed to:
  • Strengthening the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division to better protect voting rights;
  • Enacting the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, which includes measures prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity;
  • Ensuring full civil unions and federal rights for LGBT couples;
  • Repealing “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” in a sensible way that strengthens our armed forces and our national security;
  • Ending racial, ethnic, and religious profiling; and
  • Building a fair and more equitable criminal justice system that provides non-violent offenders a second chance at a rehabilitated life.
The repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act however, one of Obama's campaign promises, is nowhere to be found.  Of note is the inclusion of "full civil unions" which of course, continues to define gay and lesbian Americans as second-class citizens.

By the way: the new logo looks very Obama...

triple hmmm...

Don Quixote - the ballet

I went to the ballet Don Quichot with Eddie and No and it was very nice. It's of course really old fashioned and yes (as usual) the wedding takes much to much time with all the guest having to perform. Don Quichot was played by Peter de Jong and Sancho Panza by Karel de Rooy who did a great job.

Now that all the fashion designers are preparing MadMen autumn and winter collections - it's nice that AMC has a cute app that shows you who you could be in MadMen yourself.

I probably should like Kurt Hummel (Chris Colfer) but I must admit that my guy absolutely is Noah Puckerman (Mark Salling)
