LGBT Rights in Florida
Just recently, I was going through some of my old files on my computer and came across a feature I wrote in April 2010. It detailed the life of a lesbian couple and their struggle to gain custody of several children that one of the partners had in a previous relationship. The story was heartbreaking to write about and detailed how convoluted the Florida adoption law was at the time. While it is...

NPR: Moammar Gadhafi Ruled Libya With An Iron Fist →

Pentagon Gives Chaplains OK on Same-Sex Weddings →

The New Robyn: Or, Why I’m Obsessed With Nicola Roberts It’s not very often that I’m impressed by pop music, but the last couple of years have brought about Lykke Li, Roisin Murphy, Robyn (a re-birth, if you will) and Marina and the Diamonds, to name a few. All of these artists have brought an emotional sphere to their sugar-coated edges, which has translated into, dare I...
