From sea to shining sea... and north to the Arctic!
In Canada, things are generally better for LGBT folks than here than in the US. (In states such as South Carolina, Mississippi, and Alabama, they're way better.) But there are irksome spots. What Canadian LGBTs want to do is to amend their constitution.
Jillian Page, who writes for the Montreal Gazette, has graciously allowed me to put in Canadian Members of Parliament along with US House of Representatives.
But now it's your turn! Whatever side of the line you are on, it's your responsibility to let these people know that you expect respect, and it should be written into the constitution.
Lincoln, Nebraska - Jeff Fortenberry (R) - 1NE
Mountain View, California - Anna Eshoo (D) - 14CA
Moorestown, New Jersey - Jon Runyan (R) - 3NJ
Los Angeles, California - Linda Sanchez (D) - 39CA
Grosse Pointe, Michigan - Hansen Clarke (D) - 13MI
San Francisco, California - Nancy Pelosi (D) - 8CA
Moreno Valley, California - Mary Bono Mack (R) - 45CA
Corner Brook, Newfoundland(CAN) - Gerry Byrne (Liberal) - Humber—St. Barbe—Baie Verte
Harrison, Arkansas - Steve Womack (R) - 3AR

It's time to send Nutcase Norquist to bed... or the looney bin
Nutcase Norquist has been around for a long, long time, mostly in the shadows. I think, though, that his coming-out party has proved to be a giant dud. And so much the better.
For those of you who aren't in the know, his premise is quite simple. No money should be added to the federal budget, ever, ever, ever. Sounds good, right? On the surface,yes, it does. But then, things happen. Buildings fly into skyscrapers. Roads and bridges fall into disrepair. A little virus named AIDS comes to call. Hurricane Sandy does her thing directly over New York City. And on. And on.
What does this have to do with us transgender folks? Damn plenty. As long as goobers walk the streets, a policeman around can definitely make you feel safer. And you should feel safe. I'm not saying that a policeman should be at every corner, twenty-four hours a day, 365 a year. What I am saying, though, is when suspicious folks are are around and about, she or he will warn them that if they try anything, they will go to jail. Period.
But not if Nutcase Norquist has his way. It doesn't matter if all you transgenders are killed. Or tortured. Or raped. He has his precious greenbacks to line his pockets.
It's time to tell him to fuck off.

Once more - it's time!
I know, I know -- I'm beginning to sound like an ole broken record. But the thing is, it's important. You may live in one of those fortunate states, but the thing is, there are those states that are not nearly as fortunate. We need LGBT rights to be universal rights, not some crazyquilt map that you need to check every time you cross a state border.
