The Well Spoken Negro's Salon: The Meaning of Today, with the SCOTUS on My Mind
http://thewsns.blogspot.com/2013/03/the-meaning-of-today-with-scotus-on-my.html
The Well Spoken Negro's Salon. Tuesday, March 26, 2013. The Meaning of Today, with the SCOTUS on My Mind. I have no idea if I will ever find the man of my dreams and marry. It's not always in the cards for everyone. However, I don't want my government telling me that I cannot marry, nor do I want my government to treat me differently (and to deny me and my potential husband federal benefits) from any of my straight friends. Why is that concept so difficult to understand? So do we. 3. Black, Male and Gay.

The Well Spoken Negro's Salon: The "Undeserving" Women of the Violence Against Women Act
http://thewsns.blogspot.com/2013/03/the-undeserving-women-of-violence.html
The Well Spoken Negro's Salon. Thursday, March 7, 2013. The "Undeserving" Women of the Violence Against Women Act. I am glad that the Congress finally passed, and the POTUS has signed. Id like to dedicate to all the ladies out there. A blanket inclusion of all women, meaning none are deserving of violence, is out of the mental grasp of some. Isnt that what Suffragettes were told for decades by men in their lives? Isnt this what Rep. Marsha Blackburn is saying to other women? March 8, 2013 at 8:18 AM.

The Well Spoken Negro's Salon: February 2014
http://thewsns.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
The Well Spoken Negro's Salon. Friday, February 21, 2014. Old Ideas, New Victims. The state of Arizona, through its legislature, passed legislation that would allow businesses to discriminate openly. Against the GLBT community on the grounds of religious freedom. Think about that for a minute. Similar legislation has been flirted with (or partially passed) in Kansas. What if a Muslim denied service to that conservative "Christian" on religious grounds? Would that be cool, or would the vitriol begin?

The Well Spoken Negro's Salon: What You Say to Me is Still "Paper Thin"
http://thewsns.blogspot.com/2013/04/what-you-say-to-me-is-still-paper-thin.html
The Well Spoken Negro's Salon. Monday, April 1, 2013. What You Say to Me is Still "Paper Thin". I know that the Republican National Committee has conducted its autopsy, and the report. Actually, that's not true. If the GOP really wants to engage with the many, many, many demographic groups that it lost in 2012, then some policy changes will be inevitable. Until the RNC is really ready to do that, then all that they will say will be just "Paper Thin.". There is noise about changes to come in the elections...

Exploring Seattle: Forwards or Backwards
http://www.exploringseattle.com/2012/02/forwards-or-backwards.html
Where to Drink in Seattle. Where to Eat in Seattle. Exploring Seattle Headline Animator. Uarr; Grab this Headline Animator. Monday, February 13, 2012. My latest favorite saying, which I stole from someone (sorry I cannot remember who to credit), is that eating mostly local and eating organic is not some newfangled, trendy, snooty thing. It is basically just eating like our grandparents did. It is that simple. Choices and not just accept the latest new thing that corporate America shoves down our throat.

The Well Spoken Negro's Salon: May 2012
http://thewsns.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
The Well Spoken Negro's Salon. Sunday, May 20, 2012. Somewhere, Bayard Rustin Is Smiling. I cannot believe that I am able to write that the NAACP has come out in support of civil marriage equality. Once again, I am sure that there will be some interesting sermons and discussions among Black folks on this Sunday. Wednesday, May 16, 2012. Thank You, Mr. President. But for what President Obama did a week ago, all I have to say is THANK YOU! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Black, Male and Gay.

The Well Spoken Negro's Salon: Will Being Gay in Uganda Lead to Execution or Imprisonment? XV
http://thewsns.blogspot.com/2014/02/will-being-gay-in-uganda-lead-to.html
The Well Spoken Negro's Salon. Thursday, February 20, 2014. Will Being Gay in Uganda Lead to Execution or Imprisonment? My last post about this subject is dated August 17, 2012. So, it appears that on this day in February 2014 that Uganda has decided that being a sexually active gay/lesbian person should earn that person life imprisonment. And that that should be the law of the land there. I cannot imagine being G,L,B or T Ugandan. I am glad that the Obama administration has spoken out.

The Well Spoken Negro's Salon: November 2012
http://thewsns.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
The Well Spoken Negro's Salon. Friday, November 9, 2012. Now That It's All Over. While hurling firecrackers, bottles and racial epithets at the students inside of the house. What is it about conservative positions that so many find untenable? Too often, the answers given, if the question is even addressed, is a mish-mash of a desire for "socialism," not "understanding" America, or simply a desire to take "hand outs." Those are stupid answers, and they avoid the substance of the question.

The Well Spoken Negro's Salon: A Sense of Palpable National Pride
http://thewsns.blogspot.com/2013/04/a-sense-of-palpable-national-pride.html
The Well Spoken Negro's Salon. Wednesday, April 17, 2013. A Sense of Palpable National Pride. I woke up this morning to the news that New Zealand was the latest nation to vote in marriage equality. However, I didn't expect to see what I saw in the article I was reading. The people gathered in their parliament began singing. Later, I found out that the song is called " Pokarekare Ana. Progress has happened elsewhere, and that is great news for the world. April 18, 2013 at 1:39 PM. Black, Male and Gay.
