Instead of having dinner with Reggie, whose business trip was cancelled, I stayed home and ate healthy vegetables and veggie hotdogs which are now disagreeing with me in several disgusting ways. Kinda like the show Scrubs, which I watched for about five minutes for the first (and last) time in my life. And NBC thinks it is funny?
I spent an hour organizing GBLT material- newsletters, newspaper articles, and ephemera- to take down to the state historical society. Amazingly enough, the society has nothing in their collections on GBLT people. Not even a newspaper clipping file. They aren't alone- the major university libraries have ignored the topic as well. Recently, people here in Tucson raised money to have backcopies of the Observer microfilmed to preserve it for posterity. This community newspaper has been published for over 20 years and not one library bothered to collect copies of it. What does that tell you about how people view the queer community?
