For some reason, in the recent years, Oprah rubs me the wrong way . But, boy, DLB is just super charming - soooo much better than Sean Penn. That said, I also agree with some critics - in the US, the concentration on gay marriage is verging on counter-productive for the overall gay rights movement. The misrepresentation of gay marriage as the "last" gay issue/barrier is forcing other critical issues (eg. gay teens & seniors support, homophobic attacks, unequal treatment in the medical community, the international systematic homophobia and discrimination, etc.) to fall by the wayside. It whole thing feels like 2 steps forward, 1 step back... Anyway, leaving this on a lighter and very gay note... did you all notice DLB's apartment??? So well decorated... and from the little bit I can see - so clean!!! I'm so impressed; I think I'm crushing... lol *blushing and scratching my head* Cheers.
