The Rise of the Second Stonewall Movement - Stonewall 2.0

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.
Welcome, Folks, to Jimboland Jots

Online Chat with a Live Anti-Civil Rights Mormon
Filed under: activism, gay culture, health and wellness, technology
I just discovered that the Mormons have a live online chat. So, being the activist that I am, I logged in and politely (yes, with civility) asked “Beth” why the estimated $23 million that the Mormons gave to pass Proposition H8 in California was not used to feed the hungry, clothe and house the homeless, help the poor and elderly, etc., according to the teachings of their religion.
The Book of Love - MSNBC’s Olbermann’s Eloquent Defense of Gay Love and Marriage
Filed under: activism, gay culture, men's health, spirituality, video
This is, in a word: astonishing. I am definitely impressed that Keith Olbermann focused so eloquently and passionately on the core issue of love of those in gay relationships for each other. I was deeply moved and I think you will be, as well. Coming from a talking head from MSNBC, no less, it carries considerable weight. PLEASE SHARE - this is a stunning statement in support of LOVE.
America Begins to Revive and Create an Inclusive Nation
Filed under: activism, art, fables of fabulous faggotry, gratitude, health and wellness, technology, video
America just voted into office a visionary, educated, progressive Democrat for President: Barack Obama! He will be our first out bi-ethnic President, being of African and European (”white”) ancestry, and he represents the hopes, dreams, and lifetimes of work by generations of Americans from all walks of life. I am very proud that I voted for President-elect Obama, as did virtually all of my friends and family of creation in San Francisco. Last night, in the Castro - good old 94114 - the fabulous San Francisco Late Nite Coalition shut down the street and everyone celebrated this monumental and historic election.
A New Day is Dawning and The Worst President Ever is Sent Packing
I sit here, reading the news online - as I have done for years, now - and await the results of this historic election. In my rambling around the Web, I encountered a column by actor, John Cusack, in which he states
“The era of market idolatry is over. This is the end of Milton Friedman, Reaganomics and supply-side theory. This ideology has never been about free markets but a fundamentalist vision that is a cover for naked aggression and a social contract based on fear and greed. The government’s job is to create optimal conditions for corporate profit, to privatize everything in sight and to sell off its own body parts. To literally devour itself.”
