(Community Matters) Alberta Phillips at her most vulnerably candid on discrimination by skin tone in the Black community.

(Community Matters) hmm, occurs to me that our own Congressman, Lloyd Doggett, might have had more insight into the failures of the first bailout legislation than I’ve given him credit for. Am looking forward to a better process this go around.


LGBT Equality Among Texas GOP

(Community Matters) I’m surprised to read the Bentzin’s still identifying as Republicans. Ben & Joanie both seem so open and accepting of gays & lesbians, I had assumed they now support domestic partner benefits (if not marriage), reversal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell and reversal of other LGBT inequalities. I’ll have to talk with them about these. Maybe it’s becoming so that Texas Republicans are for LGBT equality. That would be nice to learn.

New Chair of GOP
