A missing 24 year-old California woman and her family need your help. Please visit findmitrice.info and spread the word & her likeness, particularly to folks in and around California.
Holding the 14th amendment to its word.
LGBT people are basically invisible in the survey that is supposed to reflect the diversity of America's population – and that's a big problem.
Archived material about the 2008 California marriage equality fight and this site's treatment of it can be found at an LD No on 8 page.

Lesbian Dad is written by a parent who answers to the name "Baba" and works toward a world in which amor does indeed vincit omnia. Still curious? You'll find a ton more on the About page.
