South Florida Blade: A majority of the GLBT
community is quick to dismiss the politics of the conservative party, saying
Republicans work against our best interests. As a result, their opinions
are often ignored, with groups such as the Log Cabin Republicans
ridiculed as “self-hating” because they side with those who denounce them.
In the gay community, much of the great steps forward towards social
equality came from drastic efforts, from protests and lawsuits and public
battles. But changes can occur quietly, nevertheless pushing forward from
the inside.
When the Enemy Can Teach, and Learn
New York Times:Babu Pant likes to take advantage of the frequent delays at Nepal’s
newly elected Constituent Assembly. As the only openly gay member, he
takes every opportunity to work on his homophobic colleagues, trying to
convince them that contrary to what they were taught growing up in this very
conservative country, homosexuals are just like any other people.
In Conservative Nepal, a Tribune for the ‘Third Gender’
Speaks Out
Lindsay Lohan (MySpace): I've been watching the
news all morning, like everyone else - and I keep hearing about the issues
related to 'teen pregnancy'- It's all related to Sarah Palin and her 17 year
old unmarried pregnant daughter. Well, I think the real problem comes from
the fact that we are taking the focus off of getting to know Sarah Palin and
her political views, and what she can do to make our country a less
destructive place. Its distracting from the real issues, the real everyday
problems that this country experiences.

Us Magazine: The buzzed-about Sex and the City
movie sequel isn't official. At Thursday's DVD party in NYC, she [Sarah
Jessica Parker] said, "It’s all about the story. If we can’t tell a
story that’s really worthy of an audience, then we won't do it.
What Sarah Jessica Parker Says About the Sex and the City
Sequel
Salon:
Here is the current
draft for the latest plan [the Financial System Bailout]. It's elegantly
simple. The three key provisions: (1) The Treasury Secretary is
authorized to buy up to $700 billion of any mortgage-related
assets (so he can just transfer that amount to any corporations in
exchange for their worthless or severely crippled "assets") [Sec. 6];
(2) The ceiling on the national debt is raised to $11.3 trillion
to accommodate this scheme [Sec. 10]; and (3) best of all: "Decisions by
the Secretary pursuant to the authority of this Act are non-reviewable
and committed to agency discretion, and may not be reviewed by any court
of law or any administrative agency" [Sec. 8]. Put another way, this
authorizes Hank Paulson to transfer $700 billion of taxpayer
money to private industry in his sole discretion, and nobody has the
right or ability to review or challenge any decision he makes.

by Samuel and Bella Spewack with music and lyrics by
Cole Porter today.
Love, comedy and confusion thrive behind the scenes
of a Broadway-bound musical version of The Taming of the
Shrew in Cole Porter’s musical masterpiece. Quarrelling

witty, and sensual score featuring such classics as “Too Darn
Hot,” “So in Love” and “Brush Up Your Shakespeare!” Featuring
Orlando singing talent Michael Andrew.
The well-loved musical will open the company's 20th
anniversary season at the Lowndes Shakespeare Center.

Bob Edelson’s Street Art Noir: Photo Imagery
(BeatStreet Books, $20) evokes the rhythm and range of emotions of a "noir"
film. The images are dark, urban, mysterious, sensual, at times frightening, all
in a tongue-in-cheek, entertaining way. The images are based on street art
photographed recently in American and West European cities. Though originally in
full color, the images have been computer modified into high contrast black &
white graphics, to increase their noir-ish impact. Street art has never looked
more exciting. 4pmThe
only Jewish family in a luxury Fifth Avenue building of WASPs, the senior
Rothschilds took over the responsibility of raising their grandson, Matt, after
his mother left him for Italy and a fourth husband. Matt secretly wore his
grandmother’s dresses, shoplifted Barbies from FAO Schwarz, invented an
imaginary midget butler who he addressed at dinner parties, and got kicked out
of nearly every elite school in Manhattan—once for his impersonation of Judy
Garland at a recital. He was eventually sent to a boarding school (his
grandmother had to ransom off a van Gogh to get him in). In Dumbfounded (Crown, $23.95),
Matt Rothschild—the
man David Sedaris could have been if he’d grown up in an esteemed family on
Manhattan’s Upper East Side—tells the story of his childhood with humor,
honesty, and unlikely compassion for his eccentric relatives, including his
mother, in this bitingly entertaining and unexpectedly tender memoir of family
dysfunction. 6pm
Sunday, September 21, Coral Gables Congregational Church,
3010 De Soto Boulevard (Across The Street From The Biltmore Hotel)Like Kathleen Norris's bestselling
The Cloister Walk, Acedia & me: A Marriage, Monks, and a Writer’s Life (Riverhead, $25.95) is part memoir and part meditation. As in her
bestselling Amazing Grace,
here Norris explicates and demystifies a spiritual concept, exploring acedia
through the geography of her life as a writer; her marriage and the challenges
of commitment in the midst of grave illness; and her keen interest in the
monastic tradition. Unlike her earlier books, this one features a poignant
narrative throughout of Norris's and her husband's bouts with acedia and its
clinical cousin, depression. Moreover, her analysis of acedia reveals its burden
not just on individuals but on whole societies— and that the "restless boredom,
frantic escapism, commitmentphobia, and enervating despair that we struggle with
today are the ancient demon of acedia in modern dress." Presented in collaboration with Florida
Center for the Literary Arts. 6pm
