Hi friends,

I need your HELP!

On Saturday, June 15, the Hillcrest community will host the third annual Amazing High Heel Race, in which all money raised goes to pay for the Hillcrest Pride Flag that was installed last summer, including paying down the installation costs, the continued maintenance of the flag and for the future monument project at the flag's base.

The flag has quickly become a symbol of Hillcrest and our community and it is our duty to make sure it continues to fly proud for generations to come.

Do you believe there will ever be a time in these United States of America when we will not be known as gay-Americans and just simply be Americans?

I ask because I feel that we have become a nation of hyphenated Americans. You know what I’m talking about: gay-Americans, African-Americans, Latino-Americans, Irish-Americans, Jewish-Americans, Mexican-Americans, Muslim-Americans, Japanese-Americans, just to name a few.

Do the hyphens keep us separate from one another? And if that is the case, then we will never be equal because separate but equal is never, ever equal.

There are a lot of sound reasons to critique Keynesian economics, but a reason that its creator was gay shouldn't be one of them.

Niall Ferguson, the Laurence A. Tisch Professor of History at Harvard University, has sadly, in 2013, just found that out.

Ferguson's speech to investors and financial analysts at the 10th annual Altegris Conference in Carlsbad, Calif. that should have awed his audience instead shocked and offended them.

Dear Mr. Ken Williams,

I loved your article in SDGLN regarding Peter Rauhofer. It was poignant, and meaningful.

As a fan, and friend of Peter, I had the honor of his presence, graciousness, and hearing his genius music production.
