Still No Arrest in Gay Bar Firebombing

February 28, 2018 By Frank Perez

Still No Arrest in Gay Bar Firebombing It has been four months since Circo, a popular gay bar in San Juan, Puerto Rico, was firebombed in what was apparently a vicious hate crime.  No arrests have been made and the investigation appears to be at a standstill. On Saturday, October 28, 2017, a group of masked persons dressed in all black attacked the gay club by throwing … [Read more...] about Still No Arrest in Gay Bar Firebombing

Donald Trump, Ronald Reagan, and Robert Frost

February 28, 2018 By Frank Perez

Donald Trump, Ronald Reagan, and Robert Frost When candidate Trump first proposed building a wall along the Mexican border, the old English Professor in me immediately thought of Robert Frost’s poem, “Mending Wall.”  Then the old political observer in me thought of Ronald Reagan’s famous line at the Berlin Wall: “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.” Frost opens his poem with … [Read more...] about Donald Trump, Ronald Reagan, and Robert Frost

Republicans & Pedophilia

February 28, 2018 By Frank Perez

I have always been bamboozled by the fact that Southern voters consistently vote republican, against their own best interests. As a historian, I understand why the South turned red: white voters were pissed off when Democratic President Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act in 1964. Johnson thought the Democrats had lost the South for a generation, but 53 years later, … [Read more...] about Republicans & Pedophilia

The Holiday Shopping Guide

February 28, 2018 By The Very Rev. Bill Terry, Rector

Black Friday, Cyber Monday and a host of other buying opportunities abound at this time of the year. Then there are the charities. Tis the season for the big “ask” because tis the season AND its tax write off time. So, listen to those little bells in the malls and all of those free stamps and gifts that you get in the mail from us non-profits. Tis the Season! Then it is the … [Read more...] about The Holiday Shopping Guide

Change in Leadership at BreakOUT!

February 27, 2018 By Frank Perez

Seven years after founding BreakOUT!, Co-Director Wes Ware is stepping down. According to Ware, “As a white, queer, transgender Southerner, I set out in 2011 with the hope and intention of growing the organization and transitioning leadership after five years. I firmly believed as I continue to believe that our liberation is tied up together. That none of us will be free … [Read more...] about Change in Leadership at BreakOUT!

The Supreme Hypocrisy of the Republican Party

February 27, 2018 By Frank Perez

The Republican Party—that Grand Ole Party of patriotism and family values—has finally showed its true colors. Again. The GOP tax bill demonstrates clearly why the republican party has given up flag-waving and Bible-thumping in order to defend treason and pedophilia. The love of money (which is the root of all evil) has always been the Republican Party’s only core value. And … [Read more...] about The Supreme Hypocrisy of the Republican Party

Christmastide

February 27, 2018 By The Very Rev. Bill Terry, Rector

Beyond the cards, glitz, and glimmer; beyond the call for Christ in Christmas and beyond Currier and Ives there is a real story here. The story is more than a birth narrative. The birth account is found really in two of the Gospels and they serve as a sort of prologue to the rest of the story. But I believe that the birth of Jesus has a broader appeal and broader text. The … [Read more...] about Christmastide

Mid-Term Congressional Elections and Impeachment

February 21, 2018 By Frank Perez

All 435 members of Congress are up for reelection this year and the Democrats’ chances of recapturing the House are better than they have been in years. Many are predicting the mid-term elections will be a referendum on Trump although Democratic leaders fear making impeachment a campaign issue could backfire. Their fears are irrelevant as calls for impeachment are gaining … [Read more...] about Mid-Term Congressional Elections and Impeachment

On Christians and Shitholes

February 21, 2018 By Frank Perez

Donald Trump’s recent “shithole” comment about countries comprised mostly of brown people is the latest confirmation of decent people’s worst fears about the megalomaniac currently occupying the White House, namely that he is ignorant, crude, racist, and generally despicable. The comment came as no surprise to those who have long since resigned themselves to the fact Trump is a … [Read more...] about On Christians and Shitholes
