After being criticized yesterday by gay groups for her weak condemnation of Joint Chiefs Chairman General Peter Pace calling gays “immoral”, Sen. Hillary Clinton issued a more strongly worded follow-up statement: “I disagree with what he said and do not share his view, plain and simple,” the Senator said. “It is inappropriate to inject such personal views into this public …

Grandmothers Against The War staked out their weekly lonely afternoon vigil on 5th Avenue in front of Rockefeller Center today, as always largely ignored by both tourists and office workers, who cast them scarcely a glance as they bustled onward to the food court and discount souvenir t-shirts.

I kind of adore Rollerina, a veteran of the Vietnam War, the Stonewall Uprising, Studio 54, and ACT-UP. Why hasn’t anybody made a movie of Rollerina’s life? The music at …
