I’m off to Nebraska for five days and the next months will be very busy for me as I head to Canada, Montana, Washington, D.C., Oregon, Hawaii and Washington. Jess Durfee isn’t a thug, but … Many were very surprised at the harsh editorial in last week’s progressive weekly, City Beat that attacked Jess Durfee,…
For me, it’s Governor Como for President in 2016. Let’s not forget it also took Republican senators votes for our successful Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell and New York Marriage Equality victories. John Sanfilippo, his family and Brian deserved better This past Sunday, I believe God cried. He cried over how some of his shepherds hurt…
Yes, someone hacked into my email while I was out of town. We are trying to fix it. Three days in our state capitol I just got back from three days in Sacramento, full of meetings, dinners, receptions, etc. I’ll give you a full report in my next column, but it was great to see…
Well, summer is here. Take the time to see how beautiful our city really is. Yes, take the time in your busy schedules to “smell the roses.” An overwhelming response I wish, most sincerely, to thank the so very many of you who responded to my last column. It’s been overwhelming and I will live…

I’m off this Saturday to San Francisco with Stuart Milk to commemorate Harvey Milk’s birthday with rallies, marches, dinners, etc. I’ll be in the city by the bay for four days! Happy birthday, Harvey! The redistricting issue All my life, I have fought for Latino and GLBT visibility and equality. I have fought racism within…
The only way I agreed to go to Arizona for a charity fundraiser was on the condition I would not spend a dime; I didn’t for five days. Now I owe a lot of people “thank you” cards! Next trip: San Francisco for Harvey Milk’s birthday on May 22, then Nebraska! If it ain’t broke,…
