Cultural Motives in the Gay Marriage Argument

by Albert Bales

Homophobia is Not the Core Issue

Cultural change is a constant process of accommodation and adaptation to developing social conditions which are sometimes seamlessly assimilated with scarce notice and sometimes accepted only after serious conflagrations up to and including war. When proposition 8, the measure banning gay marriage, was passed by a 59 percent vote last November the decision unleashed a militant backlash by gays and their supporters that has prompted a judicial review now gestating in the california State Supreme court. The passage of the initiative was a surprise to the gay community who, by and large, felt that they had broad support for their cause. Discrimination was at an all time low, gay politicians were well accepted in the state and local legislatures, there are many popular gay media figures.

"Sports Out Loud" The Best Gay Sports Magazine in the World?

by Joe Jewett

Aiming to fill the void of gay sports press in the marketplace, the magazine "Sports Out Loud" has hit newsstands. But, have the publishers hit a home run or is it a foul ball in the dirt?

When I first got my hands on Issue #1, I'll be honest, I was kind of disappointed. Turns out the first installment of 'SOL' (an unfortunate set of initials), is a swimsuit issue. So my first instinct was to take this magazine as anything but serious....a disappointment for a publication that not-so-modestly bills itself as " the best gay sports magazine in the world." But as the saying goes, you cannot judge a book or, by extension, a magazine by its cover. So on we go.

Minsk Gay Guide: Gay Life in Belarus

by Bartleby

Belarusians Below the Radar..

Among the former Soviet states in Eastern Europe, Belarus is the most resistant to social change, restricting gay life to private connections out of the public eye. Homosexual behavior was decriminalized in the early 1990s, but pervasive homophobia has largely squelched the gay rights movement. Neighbors of Belarus like Russia, Poland, and Lithuania enjoy far more advanced, even if fledgling, gay life.

Minsk, the capital of Belarus, provides a tenuous, semi-safe haven for gays through an underground network of private organizations and rotating gay nights at bars and clubs.
