And poetic!! ETA: For people watching Stubhub ticket prices, there are a few sellers who have dropped their prices. Not low enough for me to afford it yet, but getting closer. It is surprising that tickets are holding pretty steady in price and there are still a lot of them. The "service" fees were over $50 per ticket. Since I printed the tickets myself, there's not much service involved. Congratulations, Q3, on all your hard work! |

But there should be at least two more current artists announced. Pink is on tour break that weekend. And Gaga has new music to promote. |

Russia and the IOC Agree: Don’t Be Openly Gay at the Olympics
On Monday, the Russian Interior Ministry confirmed what other Russian officials have been saying for weeks: Openly gay people attending the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, including athletes, will be arrested under the country’s draconian new anti-gay law. That law, you might recall, prohibits “homosexual propaganda” and is designed to discourage any kind of support for gay rights or even gay people. The International Olympic Committee’s response to gay people? We mean it: Stay in the closet. According to an IOC spokesperson, the Olympics aren’t the place for “proactive political or religious demonstration,” anyway. Just read the fine print: Rule 50 of the Olympic charter declares that “no kind of demonstration or political, religious or racial propaganda is permitted in any Olympic sites, venues or other areas.” By the IOC’s logic, gay people should be keeping quiet about their sexuality no matter what, in accordance with Rule 50. If they speak out and get arrested under Russian law—well, it’s not the IOC’s fault that they just couldn’t keep their mouths shut. This response is absurd on several levels. First, it’s simply incorrect. As my colleague June Thomas has pointed out, Russia’s law is written so broadly that a spectator noting that she loves her gay relative could lead to arrest. One need only state that being gay is OK in order to risk prosecution under the “homosexual propaganda” statute. Second, and more importantly, the notion that voicing support of gay people and gay rights, or that being gay, is a “demonstration” of “political propaganda” in violation of Rule 50 is obtuse and insulting. Supporting gay people’s right to exist and live openly is not “political.” It’s about human dignity, about respecting gay people as human beings and equals rather than disordered second-class citizens. Gay athletes aren’t planning to march through Sochi shouting confrontational slogans. They’re hoping to wear a rainbow flag pin out of pride for their community, or perhaps simply acknowledge the love and support of a partner. That’s not a demonstration of politics. It’s a demonstration of dignity.

OT mostly but I just got some great news! I have been working on some research for about 2-1/2 years that was a bit off-of-center (that is not mainstream). There have been many times when I just wanted to quit and be "normal". I just get official support from not only the highest level of my University but also another major University that is located about 20 miles away and is working in similar areas. It is a big deal. Not just support for the research project but support for me!  In the tough times, looking at what Adam and more importantly Adam fans are capable of has been part of my inspiration to just do it and not worry about what people think, or what credentials I lack, or what I do not know, or so many other reasons to just go back to doing what I know how to do -- and be normal! Congratulations Q3, this is wonderful news, which gave me a smile too .. This one is for you, which is so amazing as you are ..  |
