The FreeState Legal Project expressed concern that an attack on a man in Ellicott City that included anti-gay slurs was not investigated as a hate crime. According to a report posted on ellicottcity.patch.com, on April 21, a man was attacked and stabbed in the forearm in Ellicott City. The perpetrator allegedly “[used] slurs against homosexuals” during the attack. The assailant was charged with first-degree assault and reckless endangerment, but not with committing a hate crime.
Wow! Ten years. Where did they go? I remember the day I was asked to meet Joe Berg and Jim Williams for lunch. I was wondering what I may have done. I went into this meeting with my guard way up. Anyway, they proceeded to explain to me what was about to happen. Then they asked me, “Would you like to get on board with us?” My first reaction was, “Are you sure?” We all laughed. Well I guess you all know the answer to the question. And so Baltimore OUTloud was born.
A rose doesn’t look the same to any two people. To a botanist it looks one way; to a poet it looks very different. And so too, a paper like OUTloudlooks very different depending on the viewer. But on this, the paper’s tenth anniversary, I thought it might be a good time to step back and dissect it for what it is.
The Delaware Senate on May 7 approved a bill that will allow same-sex marriage in the First State. The 12-9 vote came more than three hours after lawmakers began to hear testimony from House Bill 75 supporters and opponents.

I ain’t dead yet bitches! Contrary to popular belief, Alexander is not dead (at least I don’t think so). There have been many dirty rumors going around to the effect that I overdosed on one too many Botox and mascara injections, that my Mercedes went into the harbor after I imbibed several bottles of Grey Goose (at least I wasn’t accused of drinking rail), that I was murdered (like how many queens in this town can afford silver bullets), or that my poor heart simply gave out after years of hard living (of course, for that one to be true, I’d have to have a heart to begin with).
