adexter's comments:
on The End of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"?
I agree. My ears close when I hear people use the term: "the gay lifestyle." Being gay is not a choice. As an out lesbian I can honestly say that the only choice I made was to accept who I am and be proud.

on Weighty Issue
Unfortunately my 14 year old female cousin is extremely overweight at probably close to 200 pounds. She is a wonderful, sweet girl. When I spend time with her family, I see her drinking soda and eating chips for breakfast. When I see her reach for a second soda of the morning, I tell her no and feel like a monster. Her family has been through a lot with the recent death of her father (my uncle)after a long illness. Could you please comment on the relationship between depression and emotional hardship and obesity and also the role that I and other family members can play to influence positive change in that family. Thanks.

on Clinton and the Generational Gender Divide
I feel that our international reputation as the leading nation of opportunity and equality suffers because we have not had a female president. If Chile and India can embrace females as top leaders, why can?t the United States?
