Television:
The View discusses Prop 8. With all the shock surrounding the passing of Prop 8, watching the women of The View talk about this is like watching the entire country grapple with the consequences of bigotry. Black women discussing this issue brings to mind the emotional struggles that the dominant members of our society must have felt when they were granted the power to change and improve the lives of others. How did slave owners really feel about being slave owners after the Emancipation Proclamation? How did men really feel about giving the right to vote to women after keeping it from them for so long? How did white people feel about segregation? How do the people who oppose Prop 8 really feel about taking away the right for gays to get married?

They must struggle with themselves. They must. And it is our responsibility to show them that their struggle is worth resolving.

Politics:
Keith Olbermann's "Special Comment" on Prop 8. I haven't been a big fan of Olbermann, but we owe him a big "thanks" for stepping up and saying this. With this "Special Comment" he has done something that not even Rachel Maddow has done.

Movies:
"Chris and Don: A Love Story"
The documentary about Christopher Isherwood and Don Bachardy was just nominated for best documentary in the Gotham Independent Film Awards. The legendary gay couple was born thirty years apart and stayed together thirty-three years.

Music Video:
Grace Jones "Corporate Cannibal"
