WHY DO THE BIRDS GO ON SINGING?

Don't they know it is the end of the world? It ended when you said...goodbye.

It is with deep sadness that I say goodbye to the ever-handsome, steadfast friend, and connoisseur of the good life, STANLEY KEITH PEARCE – June 13, 1928 - February 2, 2010.

Stanley was married to Frank Weston, who for a turbulent decade was Pride Law's biggest supporter and defender, and who worked tirelessly for the addition of sexual orientation to the University's official nondiscrimination policy. Frank was the fiesty LRC law librarian who took our issues right to the top and demanded that this University have a conscience when it came to ensuring the rights of its LGBT students, faculty, and staff. With Frank's leadership on this issue, we prevailed.

Stanley was also a law librarian, working at O'Melveny and Myers in Los Angeles for almost 30 years When he and Frank met 39 years ago, they joined their lives and together traveled the world, drank the finest wines, and defied a cultural stereotype of how gay men were supposed to be. They were married in October, 2008, and cherished the right to call each other husband.

It was my great privilege to know him. Goodbye, my friend, and I toast to you: salute! skoal! cheers!

WHO'S APATHETIC?

Just thought I'd ask.

You can either sign below, or do something.

Whatever. Go study or waste time. I don't care.

HOMOPHOBIA THRIVES AT NOTRE DAME

Can it be true that Notre Dame is the only top-twenty university to not have sexual orientation in their official nondiscrimination policy? Read the story here.

Days after a cartoon in the school newspaper that advocated beating gay people into vegetables, a renewed effort is under way to get some official university protection. It seems like a huge uphill battle since the university does not even recognize or allow LGBT groups on campus.

Besides our reaching out with a letter of protest to the administration - and letters of support to the LGBT students, faculty, administrators and staff - what about asking our own university leadership for help on this? Just saying.
