Zenger’s Newsmagazine Editorial on Proposition 8 Decision
Written before the most recent development in the federal case challenging Proposition 8 — the good-news, bad-news decision of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals to delay same-sex marriages in California until at least December, but also to consider the all-important issue of whether the supporters of Proposition 8 even have legal standing to appeal — this editorial from the summer 2010 print edition of Zenger's Newsmagazine shows what a roller-coaster this issue has been and how the Queer co...

Conflicts of Interest/Corruption in the MLPA Initiative
Many do not feel that the head of the Western States Petroleum Association is there out of her voluntary concern for the ocean. She has been lobbying for more drilling off the coast, even after the recent Gulf Oil Disaster. She is there to look out for oil interests, in both the placement of no-fishing MPA’s, and making sure MPA’s do not interfere with oil and energy related operations - now or in the future....

US Navy And Univ of Wisconsin Continue Victimizing Animals In Military Research
The Navy has subjected primates to chair confinement for months at a time, causing despair,
cramping as baboons were forced to sleep and defecate sitting up in chairs. The Navy violation of a US treaty with India caused Indira Gandhi to ban primate export to the US. Their sonar and
propellers kill whales and dolphins. Their jet bombers launched from aircraft carriers kill animals.

“8: The Mormon Proposition”: Two Movies in One
Director Reed Cowan’s film “8: The Mormon Proposition” is really two movies in one. It’s an exposé of the Mormon church’s role in passing California’s same-sex marriage ban, Proposition 8, at the polls in November 2008 and also a stunning tale of how a church that has institutionalized anti-Queer bigotry wreaks its vengeance against hapless Queer youth from Mormon families who, as part of their belief system, feel duty-bound to drive out their Queer kids and abandon them to homelessness, drug...

Sexual Offense in California
Yet, somehow the attitude for some citizens thus goes, after more legislation has been proposed, and in process of being enacted (Assembly Bill 1844 Chelsea’s Law), in California following the recent rape and killings by one John Gardener, a sexual offender released from prison and not very closely and competently monitored by the system, is that everyone, that is everyone thought to be a “good” citizen of the state of California, ought be able to live in a Utopian world in which “no one” fee...
