selenakA profile of Claude Lanzman, apropos his recently published memoirs. Fascinating.
itsnotmymind pointed me towards this article: One town's war on gay teens. Gutwrenching and infuriating to read, very compellingly written.
And hooray for the internet: "8", a play written by Dustin Lance Black (scriptwriter for Milk and J.Edgar) and directed by Rob Reiner, featuring an all-star cast including George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Martin Sheen, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jane Lynch, Kevin Bacon, Matt Bomer and others, is online. It is a powerful account of the case filed by the American Federation for Equal Rights (AFER ) in the U.S. District Court in 2010 to overturn Proposition 8, a constitutional amendment that eliminated the rights of same-sex couples to marry in the state of California. Framed around the trial's historic closing arguments in June 2010, 8 provides an intimate look what unfolded when the issue of same-sex marriage was on trial.
