Good morning all...
Sunny and warm in the great PacNW. Saw "Once on This Island" last night... wonderful! My ex- plays Papa Gue (sp), and damn him, he still makes me cry when he sings. Went out with the cast afterwards and had a wonderful time.
No plans for the weekend. The relationship drama continues, not sure if I have a bf or not right now.

BB - I have already thought of that. Anyone own a gun?????
It really is a freaky little creature. I am out in my barefeet at 6:30 a.m. spraying water at it.
My friend used to use a water gun to shoot bleach into the eyes of pigeons. I could try that. And, the stupid rat terrrier never catches it.

I know that if a seagull eats an alka seltzer it will explode..I wonder if it that happens to a squirrel too? Time to do I study I believe.

Henry “Harry” Hay, the founder of the modern American gay movement.
“Harry Hay’s determined, visionary activism significantly lifted gays out of oppression,” said Stuart Timmons, who published a biography of Hay, called “The Trouble with Harry Hay,” in 1990. “All gay people continue to benefit from his fierce affirmation of gays as a people.”
Hay devoted his entire life to progressive politics, and in 1950 founded a state-registered foundation network of support groups for gays known as the Mattachine Society.
Hay was also a co-founder, in 1979, of the Radical Faeries, a movement affirming gayness as a form of spiritual calling. A rare link between gay and progressive politics, Hay and his partner of 39 years, John Burnside, had lived in San Francisco for three years after a lifetime in Los Angeles. Hay is listed in histories of the American gay movement as the first person to apply the term “minority” to homosexuals. An uncompromising radical, he easily dismissed “the heteros” and never rested from challenging the status quo, including within the gay community.
“Harry was one of the first to realize that the dream of equality for our community could be attained through visibility and activism,” said David M. Smith of the Human Rights Campaign in Washington, DC. “When you were in a room with him, you had the sense you were in the company of a historic figure.”
Due to the pervasive homophobia of his times (it was illegal for more than two homosexuals to congregate in California during the 1950s), Hay and his colleagues took an oath of anonymity that lasted a quarter century until Jonathan Ned Katz interviewed Hay for the ground-breaking book “Gay American History,” published in 1976. Countless researchers subsequently sought him out. In recent years, Hay became the subject of a biography, a PBS-funded documentary, and an anthology of his own writings called “Radically Gay: Gay Liberation in the Words of Its Founder.”
