Last night, Anthony and I went to see Hedwig and the Angry Inch at Neumos. It was a great show! It took Hedwig a couple songs to get into it, but once the band got on, the show was great! The only bad thing about the show was a few stupid guys who heckled… I think they didn’t realize what they show is about.

After the show, Anthony and I had an interesting conversation about Capital Hill. The audience was a great example of what CH is becoming. We went to a gay themed show, yet gays were not the majority. It was a mix of straight and gays, but most definitely mostly straight people. The straight crowd included a mix of yuppy people who seemed out of place (but tried REALLY hard to fit in) and obnoxious frat-boys. Slowly, the gay ghetto is turning into over-priced condos that are replacing the artists, gays, and odd-ducklings that made CH such a fun place. Once it is so expensive that none of the cool people live there, what will be the draw?

Columbia just passed legislation to grant same-sex couples many of the rights of marriage - which their president has agreed to sign. It is interesting to me that in a country dominated by the Catholic church and is supposedly ruled by a machismo sentiment is still more progressive than us.

But, hey… Dallas might elect a gay mayor.

California just became the first state in the US to allow same-sex conjugal visits.

Interesting. In the UK, the trans community is embraced. Here we fire them…

Why does this feel so half-hearted?

I don’t really care much that one religious zealot is protesting another religious zealot. My question is, where do the Phelps’ get their money? They are always flying around the country protesting. Their church is made up of other family members, so it isn’t like their donations floweth over.
