Over 200 Turn Out for Matthew Shepard Memorial in San Diego (tags)
Over 200 San Diegans marched in Hillcrest October 12, 2010 to commemorate the 12th anniversary of the death of Matthew Shepard, target of an especially brutal Queer-bashing attack in Wyoming, and to honor the lives lost to Queer-bashing, bullying and teen suicide. The event featured two marches, a preliminary rally outside Obelisk Bookstore (site of a memorial plaque to John Robert Wear, 17-year-old killed in a Queer-related assault in 1991) and a program at San Diego’s LGBT Center that featured speakers including Terry Summers, a personal acquaintance of Matthew Shepard.

Interview with Aaron McGruder, creator of Boondocks comic strip (tags)
The controversial cartoonist Aaron McGruder, creator of "The Boondocks" calls Bush a moron, says Americans shouldn't worry about bin Laden and says he might leave the country. To find Boondocks on the web, go to: www.ucomics.com/boondocks/viewbo.htm
The strip's two main characters are two African American boys, who are the first Black kids in a previoulsy all White suburb. It's a very funny comic strip, and, unlike the rest of the funny pages, they actually deal with serious social issues in an intellegent yet entertaining way.
