I thought people said things would get better under Rudd.
Where’s the evidence? This certainly isn’t it!
The State Government faced a public backlash yesterday after the Herald revealed laws had been quietly introduced to prevent people “causing annoyance” to participants in the huge Catholic event which will climax with the Pope’s arrival in Sydney in two [...]

I am pretty heavily involved in the local battle for same-sex marrriage, with the past five months being dedicated to the battle for Civil Unions with Ceremonies. Last night a much watered down version of the Civil Partnerships Bill we’ve been fighting for was passed. A bill that doesn’t include ceremonies.

Civil Unions Update
Posted by: Ryan on: March 13, 2008
So, last time the civil unions campaign was all Fluffy Bunnies, Rainbows, and Hugs all round! (Even from the media!)

I laughed my arse off watching this. I think that I found it even more amusing, because it kinda reminded me a bit of my current relationship.

Yay for the Netherlands supporting LGBT rights!
Disjointed Feminism
Posted by: Ryan on: October 27, 2007
There is a fabulous post about Feminist Identification over at Feministe from their wonderful guest blogger, La Lubu.
She has a comprehensive list of ways in which she feels a disconnect from the feminist movement, and it got me to thinking about my own identity, and ways in which I overlap with the feminist movement, and [...]

I just watched the last part of the Debate between Howard and Rudd, and I was very amused. Poor Howie, he simply wasn’t at his best.
I was very very impressed by Kevin Rudd though, and I sincerly hope that he is our next Prime Minister. (Dude is promising fast, cheap broadband… that is a PM [...]
