Quotes!
We destroyed and annihilated them (Iraqis) ... We destroyed the infrastructure. We dismantled their abilities to defend against outside invaders. We didn't even do that to Germany in World War II. You don't do that unless your plan is to stay - to occupy.

All new! (well... kinda...)
I am using "To Quote A Queer" for your enjoyment, pleasure, and thought. There is one thing that held me back. It's that the quotes range from the very liberal (the late Gore Vidal) to the very conservative (David Brock). It's simply a fact that this will anger some. The only thing I can say to people who hold such views is to read about a month's worth of quotes. What is demonstrated (I hope) is that a full range of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender views will be represented. So enjoy!

Transgender student in California recants sexual assault story

ezs note: It turns out that the story told by the transgender boy is NOT true. I'm sorry about that, and I will pull the previous article. What I wrote in the opinion piece afterward, however, remains true. If you see a transgender person being attacked and/or assaulted, turn them in!
