Thkx @NYTimes' #FrankRich for once again outlining where '80s style gay bashing has returned.

Having survived the awful '80s culture wars and the incredibly stupid silence on AIDS by Washington, Frank Rich has crafted an editorial in the New York Times that unfortunately reports that for all of our perceived progress,  those battles that I thought were in the past are not.

This piece is essential reading if you are concerned over the mess at the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery.  It is very informative and explains a lot of the players as it outlines the mess created around this important exhibition.

Today is International AIDS Day (formerly known as Day of Silence / Day Without Art) and so I will go silent for one day.

As we enter a season of generosity and gift giving, please consider a donation to our local Red Project -  an organization making a real difference in the lives of those impact by this disease.  Quick Donation Link: http://bit.ly/hkxZaH 

If you wish to go global with your gift, there are groups out there who would be great choices including (red).  LINK:  http://www.joinred.com

I'm looking forward to a better tomorrow.
