By
Editor April 12, 2013 » Add the second comment.
Attorney Lynne Stewart is being held hostage by the State — the federal government. She is valiantly fighting both her unjust imprisonment and a serious bout of cancer. Time is a critical element in both instances. Lynne Stewart’s imprisonment is payback for her unrelenting defense of the poor and oppressed over decades in this complex [...]

Why same-sex marriage matters
When the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments on same-sex marriage over two days in late March, it signaled how far the fight for lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender/queer rights and liberation has come. Mass consciousness has changed. An ever-increasing majority of people in this country now support same-sex marriage. Regardless of how the high court rules in June, this [...]
