Proposition 8 "fails to advance any rational basis in singling out gay men and lesbians for denial of a marriage license. Indeed, the evidence shows Proposition 8 does nothing more than enshrine in the California Constitution the notion tha

Update: Shortly after I contacted Amazon customer service, my account was upgraded to prime. I haven't checked with friends to see if they can use their emails yet.

Google says they "apply a narrow set of removal policies for pornography, violence, and hate speech." What seems incongruous with this to me is that they also filter many (non-explicit) gay-related searches. For example, typing "is my son"

Amazon claims that email is not a valid .edu address. It says the same for my roommate's email. We both go to Northwestern University where the student email addresses are Google Apps emails @u.northwestern.edu.

You beat me to the punch. It'd be nice for a title to specifically address heterosexual men; otherwise it comes off a bit sexist and heteronormative.

These days when so many people have widescreen laptops, I wonder why things like the bookmarks toolbar don't default to docking to the left or right side. I can't afford to give up space at the top or bottom of my screen, but my left and r

My high school psychology teacher taught us about illusory superiority by another name (which is discussed on the Wikipedia page): the Lake Woebegone Effect. This refers, of course, to Garrison Keillor's Lake Wobegone , where "all the wome

Why can't system apps go in the app store? They could be installed by default, but able to be uninstalled and then reinstalled from the app store. Think Apple's Remote app. What Gruber says makes sense for apps like Mail and Safari, but S

I completely agree. I hate when people ask me if I am an Eagle scout because I feel like they consider me a failure, or at least that I gave up, when I say no. But I don't feel that way myself. I had different priorities and different go

Especially coming from my experiences as a camp counselor, I totally understand the value of separating boys and girls sometimes. I can't think of any circumstance when it would be useful to separate a group of adolescents by sexual orient

I can't say my entire scouting experience was wonderful, but I loved the time I spent backpacking with my troop. We hiked regularly in the Ocala National Forrest in Florida and took trips in the summer to North Carolina, the Southwest Canyo

And it provides the same result as "don't ask; don't tell": it creates an environment where people are not free to be honest about who they are and sets up a structure that reinforces the idea that one kind of person is inherently better th

One of the most important parts of learning vocal technique is learning what feels right and what doesn't. Good teachers will often work on this with students by asking how the student thought something went ("Was that better or worse than

Thanks, I missed that link. Still, I'm especially interested to hear about his early lessons as well as the ones closer to his breakthrough period. To be clear, I'm not criticizing him or his teachers. I'm just more interested in their ro

Like any instrument, technique plays an extremely important role in singing. Poor intonation is less an indicator of a good voice and more of good technique. Of course no one would criticize a girl who picked up a cello and just started p

Also, in a phenomenon somewhat unique to singing, what you hear just isn't what others hear. For example, sometimes people will modify their technique such that their voice sounds very resonant to them, but externally the sound doesn't car

That's a pretty good summary. For what it's worth, here's some transgender terminology worth knowing: Transgender: a person who identifies as a gender that doesn't match their genitalia at birth (some transgendered folks have genital reassi

What meaning is that? The meaning I am actually more familiar with is "the belief that one sexual orientation is inherently better than another."

Do you know any gay men? This is beyond offensive to me. I'm a hacker, a Christian, and a gay man. I've been a babysitter and a church camp counselor (of children from fourth through twelfth grade). Before you talk about the "problem gay

Just as an aside, "straight-acting" isn't an appropriate term to use. It perpetuates false stereotypes of both gay and straight men.
