		<description><![CDATA[Mitt Romney was wrong in his victory speech after the Florida primary Tuesday night when he attributed to Tom Paine the quote, &#8220;Lead, follow or get out of the way.&#8221; Although widely attributed to Paine, it appears nowhere in his written works. First of all, the quote is reprehensible on its face. It is flatly [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What a stark contrast. All those mud-slinging kids mangling each other with venomous attacks on bank accounts and personal lives on the one hand. The President of the United States on the other. President Obama&#8217;s State of the Union address this week was eloquent, elevated and full of national optimism. It was nothing like we&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Gay screenwriter Todd Haynes in his brilliant film, &#8220;Velvet Goldmine&#8221; (1998), has his own colorful way of depicting the &#8220;otherness&#8221; of our tribe in its opening segment. The baby Oscar Wilde, the famous gay &#8220;pop idol&#8221; of his day, arrives in a space ship and is planted on a doorstep in a basket with an [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Now that unfettered big money, in the form of the so-called Super PACs, are spending twice as much in the upcoming GOP primary in South Carolina as the candidates themselves, more attention is being drawn to their undue influence. Among other things, because these Super PACs are not affiliated with any candidate, they can haul [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The hit single, &#8220;Born This Way,&#8221; by Lady Gaga &#8211; the enormously-talented Stefani Germanotta &#8211; is a huge, obvious &#8220;shout out&#8221; to gays, a big component of her following. It was her contribution to the &#8220;It Gets Better&#8221; offensive against bullying and hate that resulted from a spate of high-profile teen gay suicides in the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Republican presidential primary season has produced, if nothing else, a sense that any given week can make a big difference, which of course has been a boon to the 24/7 news cycle media organizations. Who&#8217;s up, who&#8217;s down: it seems that none of the slowly-dwindling field of GOP candidates is immune. This past week [...]]]></description>

Wilde&#8217;s admirers were dismayed by the deeply spiritual nature of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Coming out of Tuesday&#8217;s GOP caucuses in Iowa, it never ceases to amaze how myopic the major media pundits are. There is nothing yet to establish that the latest GOP &#8220;flavor of the week,&#8221; Rick Santorum, will not experience the same pratfall as most the party&#8217;s other presidential hopefuls have experienced, surging to prominence only [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I do not contend that gay people alone express the kind of love that the ancient Greek titan Prometheus exhibited by stealing fire from Mt. Olympus and giving to mankind, fire interpreted as love that inflames the human spirit. But I feel strongly that within our wider humanity, gay people have always been a prevalent [...]]]></description>
