Roman (Polanski) Circus - by Mark Gabrish Conlan/Zenger's NewsmagazineWhat Roman Polanski did to a 13-year-old girl one afternoon 32 years ago was disgusting, but the amen chorus of hypocrites calling for his punishment is equally disgusting. Polanski is a victim of a long-standing vendetta against him by Los Angeles County law enforcement that began when they suspected him of the murder of his wife Sharon Tate and their friends, and his arrest in Switzerland and the calls for his punishment now have far more to do with vengeance than justice. It's time to stop... Posted: Thu Oct 29, 2009 7:17PM

Béla Dornon: Queer Photographer Seeks to Document California’s Same-Sex Marriages - by Mark Gabrish Conlan/Zenger's NewsmagazinePhotographer Béla Dornon calls them the “142 Days” — from June 15, 2008, when the California Supreme Court decision allowing same-sex marriages to be legally recognized took effect, to November 4, 2008, when the passage of Proposition 8 took that right away again.

“Nommogeneity” Explores African-American Poetry and Culture - by Mark Gabrish Conlan/Zenger's NewsmagazineIt took two years to make and it's only 32 minutes long, but Terrence Stubbs’ film “Nommogeneity” is a powerful portrayal of cutting-edge African-American poetry and culture that's well worth seeing.

“Voices of Honor” Tour Targets “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” - by Mark Gabrish Conlan/Zenger's NewsmagazineO.K., so maybe you're a hard-core peacenik who wouldn't dream of joining the military or of supporting anyone who would. You should still care about the continued exclusion of open Queer people from the U.S. military under the so-called “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy. Not only is the policy unjust and discriminatory on its face, it's also disproportionately enforced against women and people of color — so in practice it's racist and sexist as well as homophobic. “Voices of Honor”...
