SheZow, the Transgender Heroine That Isn’t
David Perry

ezs note: Yeah, I like comics. Especially manga. To see a good example of transgender manga that is very similar to "SheZow", go to mangafox.me/directory and look up "Ore to Hero to Mahou Shoujo". I think that you'll find the themes very similar. (although s/he is a bit older)

Entertainers mourn Jean Stapleton: 'A great actress and a wonderful lady'
Greg Botelho
*more here*
ezs note: Jean Stapleton, who played Edith Bunker on CBS's 'All in the Family' , was truly a remarkable actress. In one of the most memorable episodes, Edith befriends a transgender woman, only to have her friend murdered. This causes a serious loss of faith in Edith.
We have lost a dear friend and staunch ally. Rest in peace, Jean.

'Milk' at 8pm on TNT
The movie 'Milk' will be shown at 8pm (Eastern) on the cable channel TNT. I haven't seen it yet, but I do plan on seeing it. The show is about Harvey Milk, the first (announced) gay man who was mayor of a major metropolitan city (San Francisco). The lead role is played by Sean Penn. Please, if you have any thoughts, share them with us. Thanks.
