We are fighting back against the violence and hatred with a peaceful candlelight vigil. We would like to invite you to light a candle for the people who have fallen victim to hate crimes in our community and throughout the rest of the country.The Queer Ally Coalition will be doing some fund raising at the event, selling candles, rainbow flags, and whistles, which we hope will prevent future attacks from happening to members of our community. See you there!It starts at 8pm at the Pillars on Boren Ave. and Pike St. in Capitol Hill, Seattle, WA. | | | | | | (kiss a girl) | | | | | |

BIG KUDOS toABC for taking such a stand. I suggest everyone go tohttp://abc.go.com/site/contactus.html and thank ABC for showing theirsupport of the gay community and not tolerating any sort of prejudicefrom their actors.Here is a link to the story I found about ABC's commentshttp://apnews1.iwon.com//article/20070119/D8MO3R3G0.htmlI really hope Isiah Washington is written off the show by the end ofthe season. Send his character off to where ever to do charity work orsome such... Isiah has said he would like to see a story line aboutDrs without borders so there is the perfect out that can also serve toshed light on a wonderful social program. | | | | | | (kiss a girl) | | | | | |

You've been ever been mistaken for "the one with cancer" because people think your extremely short haircut looks like you are post-chemo. You've screamed "of course he's on a lot of narcotics. He has cancer!"This community is for all queer caregivers of folks with cancer...whether that person is your spouse, partner, mistress, best friend, shortstop on your softball team, parent, child, however you define family. The idea is to share strength, support, ideas, resources and a listening ear.The full url is http://community.livejournal.com/queercancercare/ | | | | | | (kiss a girl) | | | | | |

I know I have on occasion and I don't really think much of it but now after this question I am def. going to think more on it | | | | | | (kiss a girl) | | | | | |

I mean Jesus get over yourself.. your the one calling me your the one stalking me online and your the one texting me and "I want YOU" I think NOT... I have had this trouble since I basically came out.. and usually the problem strands with the obvious girl in the closet that wants to use me as a door matt to her sexuality.. fell for that once NEVER again.. so why when it is totally obvious that I ONLY want to be friends and after I let them know that they get all pissy at me and there goes the friendship.. now I realize maybe they are hurt or feel stupid or rejected.. but why cant I have friends that don't get to this point of me having to reject them.. totally sucks..its like I either have to only have guy friends then off course they want to woo me into becoming str8 cause you know I just haven't had the "right" guy.. im fed up its much easier to have no friends that invest time, effort, and emotional shit into making new ones only to have them and all THEIR issues fuck it up.. Im really seriously freaking pissed about all of this.. | | | | | | (9 kisses | kiss a girl) | | | | | |
