If you are a new visitor - welcome! - you may want to subscribe to our RSS feed. Thanks so much for visiting Jimboland Jots - the world from a freethinker, gay, green, radical, and American progressive worldview.


It is hard to be the one who is purposefully left out, to be excluded, to feel “less than” others, and relegated to some second tier of human citizenship. Americans get righteously - and rightly - upset about such things and lesbian and gay Americans - and our many and diverse friends - are very pissed off. We are getting angrier and rising up against seemingly endless waves of anti-gay marriage rights and anti-gay parent adoption laws in California, Florida, Arizona, and elsewhere in our fair country. Gay people have had it with such legalized and accepted bigotry.

Andy Thayer has been working to secure marriage rights for gay couples in Chicago for more than 10 years.

The vote seems like a setback for the gay marriage movement, Thayer said, but the nationwide backlash is an opportunity to build momentum for local discussions on equality.
