First a GLAAD Award, now were in the Library of Congress! I really like the unanticipated rewards of writing for tNCRM. Ive been given press credentials by the White House. Ive been called by The Southern Poverty Law Center. Ive been threatened by a white supremacist. Ive been quoted by World Net Daily. Ive exchanged tweets with Sarah Brady. And Ive wheedled it out of a zoo curator in Toronto that one of the zoos gay penguins had found a girlfriend for the next mating season - I was a regular Lois Lane. The New Civil Rights Movement is 88% David. But its 10% me. Now I sort of wish I hadnt given up writing a weekly column. It could have ended up in the Library of Congress. I never had very good timing. Send in the clowns.
