He is followed by secret police. His friends are routinely whipped. Some are executed. His name is Mani Zaniar and he is the leader of Iran’s secret gay rights movement.

It is the most dangerous civil rights movement in the world. And for the first time ever, Mani, and many others, have risked their lives to come on camera and tell their story.

In this startling and unique documentary, Out in Iran, we go to Iran and get the world’s first look at life inside Iran’s persecuted gay community. We meet an astonishing group of courageous people with heartbreaking stories.

I'm making plans to check out of Hotel California soon.

Going to check on SF air fares tomorrow.

hollie_is_right has a great collection of music videos up. And don't miss this one (my own favorite JD song) -

Someone from Dublin, Ireland, made a whole bunch of visits to Stephanie online. It makes me really happy that my sister's memory is still alive and that other people are enjoying her work.

*

The San Francisco move is looking like a strong possibility. Not definite, but definitely possible.

Random fact: For some odd reason, I just can't warm to being called a Nazi.

If I missed your birthday over the past week or two, please accept my humble and contrite apologies, and belated best wishes for a happy one and many more.

Abdullah Gül and Ehud Olmert may be packing up their coffee cups soon.

Seems islamist fundies are still obsessing over bad haircuts.

I've decided I'm going to indulge in breakfast tomorrow. Went to Whole Foods and bought an overpriced (well, I did say Whole Foods, didn't I?) mini-quiche.

Yummm.
