Life, Liberty & Roscoe on the Red Carpet
I went to Ann & Jorge’s the other night and got to visit with Arielle, and take Roscoe on a long walk around the neighborhood. I noticed the following billboard on Santa Monica Blvd. and thought it was nice:
Have you heard that Kenneth Starr (yes, that Ken Starr) and the Proposition 8 Legal Defense Fund have filed legal briefs defending the constitutionality of Prop. 8 and are attempting to forcibly divorce 18,000 same-sex couples that were married in California last year? The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in this case on March 5, 2009, with a decision expected within the next 90 days.
The Courage Campaign has created a touching video using Regina Spektor’s great song “Fidelity” that puts a face to those 18,000 couples and all loving, committed couples seeking full equality under the law. If you would like to tell the California Supreme Court to invalidate Prop 8, reject Ken Starr’s case, and let loving, committed couples marry, click here.
Roscoe is finally growing out of his crazy puppy phase, but he’s still a handful. Ann literally had to sit on him when I came in the door to keep him from going crazy. After I left, he howled at the window for half an hour and Ann posted the videos.
On our walk, Roscoe got to attend a red carpet event at The Body Factory
Roscoe and Daisy got along splendidly
Tonight, Dar and I finally went to see Revolutionary Road (after three previous unsuccessful attempts). I really liked it. Roger Ebert said that it was “so good, it was devastating”. I know what he means. It was terribly sad, but so well done. One of these days Leonardo DiCaprio has to win an Oscar. On the way out of the theater I took this.
Happy Friday the 13th!

great prop 8 vid – brought tears to my eyes. as for the other vid, well, at least someone loves you! peace, Al
fill the world with love :)
i LOVE the dogs! wuhoo!
The video is simply amazing- perfect song and perfect clips!
What’s wrong with love? What’s wrong with romantic love within the gay community? It’s like saying you can’t love because he’s not a she. No one should stand in the way of love.
@pukemeister - Very funny!
@Renatojr3 - All we need is love!
@Dezinerdreams - xo
@reckless_eagle - I wish everyone felt that way! Thanks.
Awesome video.
The last picture made me giggle. ;)
Don’t be a gaycist, hahahaa!!! I’ve always thought gay couples should have at least an equivalent to marriage in order to access spousal benefits. There’s definitely bigger issues at hand regarding families… such as single woman with 15 kids on welfare.
@omgitsmackie - Thanks! Have a nice weekend.
@figachewy - LOL…”Gaycist”! I’ve never heard that. Yeah, that Octo-Mom is NUTS huh??!! I remember reading an old post of yours on this subject and it was very well said. Thank you!

pretty cool video. nice pics of fun looking dogs :D
First of all – Happy valentine’s Day!
I’m bisexual and I don’t see why gay couples shouldn’t stay and be happy together.
@sl79 - I bet she’s a cutie!
@XsW3eTfLiP1nOyX - Thanks! Have a happy Valentine’s Day!

@CareyGLY - actually, a little girl in the video was holding the sign “don’t be a gaycist.”
kenneth star and his hate-lovin (hehe) friends are idiots.

Happy Valentine’s Day! Loved the Dakota Fanning piece – she does remind me of Ms. Foster, too! I was surprised not to see a piece on Westminster Dog Show, thought you might be there in the Best of Show circle with one of your 4 legged fans :)
