Doing some unique gift wrapping for the holidays this year
Published January 6, 2012 | 
Guest post written by Lindsay Ruman
There are all kinds of little special things that I like to do for the holidays. I make lots of crafts, including crafts that I can use as decorations around my home. But I’m always on the look out for something else a little special. While I was looking online to see what I could find to do new for this year, I ran across some ideas about making your own wrapping paper and decided to do that.
While I was online getting a little more specific info about some gift wrapping inspiration, I ran across some info on HVAC. We could use a replacement system in our household, so I decided to order it to be installed from that website.
I did come up with some pretty good unique gift wrapping ideas and already the gifts that I’ve given to my coworkers have been a pretty big hit because of all the special wrapping! I do think that I’ve done a pretty good job of it myself. I’ll have to do this next year too.

Defensively, Santorum spoke out against gay marriage to a gay-friendly crowd, comparing it to polygamy.
Gay Marriage in Washington State?
Published November 13, 2011 | Washington may become the seventh state t legalize same-sex marriage. Several gay-rights groups, including a handful of religious organizations have put pressure on the legislature to pass a law in 2012 to enable marriage equality. Senator Ed Murray is openly gay and believes they will have enough votes to pass. Conservative Senator Dan Swecker is against the motion, saying that it will open the door to “other alternatives.” What does he mean? Animals?

Now that Grand Praire Texas can get Ambit Power I’ve switched us over and hopefully my husband can get off my back about spending too much money on utilities. We decided a long time ago that I was in charge of all the house related stuff and that means paying the bills, too, although he just funds the money into the checking account. I don’t know why he needs to stick his nose in everything so much but he needs to just chill out – I can’t tell you how many fights I’ve had with him trying to tell me how to do things better or that I’m not doing them the right way. I’m like, do you want me to be in charge of this or not? Anyway, enough of my soapbox, but I’m just sick to death of him really making me nutty – there’s something to be said for having your own space and having your spouse trust you to do a good job with it. That’s how I feel about all this home stuff.
Gay Africans Seek Haven
Published October 29, 2011 | The parliament in Uganda seeks capital punishment for people who engage in homosexual acts. There is suspicion that this anti-gay mindset has its root in the teachings of U.S. evangelical groups. Uganda has received international attention, but it is not the only African nation with anti-gay laws. This may lead to more LGBT people seeking refuge in other countries, including the United States, if the international community doesn’t put pressure on Uganda and other African countries. Oddly, The United Nations and the U.S. State Department do not track whether refugees are displaced due to sexual orientation.
Gay Veteran Re-enlisting
Published October 25, 2011 | Lee Reinhart of Chicago served in the Navy for four years, followed by three years in the Coast Guard. He was discharged from the Coast Guard in 2002 for being open about being gay. After last month’s repeal of “don’t ask, don’t tell,” Reinhardt has decided to enlist in the Navy Reserve.
Reinhart has been very vocal about repealing DADT after being ousted from the Coast Guard. Someone has finally heard his voice and listened. Reinhart is just one of many thousand of men and women who are affected by this change in a very positive way.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Marriage
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are clearly America’s perfect couple, except for one thing – they have kids and aren’t married. Why? Because they are principled people of influence who have made another commitment – not to get married until the entire country has equal marriage rights. Of course, the kids want mom and dad to tie the knot – who can blame them? Read more at the San Francisco Examiner.
Gays in the military come out
Published September 23, 2011 | The don’t ask, don’t tell (DADT) law took effect during the Bill Clinton era in 1993 and was the first step towards equality for gay people in the military.

As a result, many service men and women have come out to openly declare their preferences and this momentous victory in American history.
