Join the LiveJournal Revival!

Are you fed-up with garbage, full-of-shit sites where nobody actually communicates, such as Facebook, Instagram and Tumblr? Do you wish your old friends who've migrated to those sites would return to LiveJournal? The the_lj_revival community has been set up with that aim in mind, and you are invited to join it. If you are already on LiveJournal and still have a Facebook profile, and would like to see more people returning to LJ or setting up accounts here, we invite you to post a link to this community on your Facebook Timeline. If you would like to find out who is still using LiveJournal and make contact with those who are already here, you are invited to copy and paste the 'about me' questions on the profile page and post them with your answers to the community.

Memorial for Chuck Thompson

(From Cat Hicks)

There will be a memorial to honor Charles Elfrink-Thompson (aka Chuck Thompson, Chuckie two-way)

Friday, May 7th, 2010, 1pm
University Congregational Church
NE 45th & 16th, Seattle
http://www.universityucc.org/

It is asked that no flowers be sent. If you choose to honor Chuck, you may do so by donating to the Seattle Childrens Hospital.

As an organ donor, Chuck brought new life in the passing of his. A final gift to those in need.

"This is the Gay World Series, not the Bisexual World Series"
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2010/04/22/BAS51D26LD.DTL

...

All Steven Apilado, LaRon Charles and Jon Russ wanted to do was to win the championship game at the Gay Softball World Series for their amateur San Francisco team.

Instead, they were marched one by one into a conference room at the tournament in suburban Seattle and asked about their "private sexual attractions and desires," and their team was stripped of its second-place finish after the men were determined to be "non-gay," they said in a lawsuit accusing a national gay sports organization of discrimination.

...

They were asked "very intrusive, sexual questions," including what their sexual interests and preferences were, Suzanne Thomas, a Seattle attorney for the plaintiffs, said Wednesday.

Charles, who was D2's manager, asked whether he could say he was bisexual and was told, "This is the Gay World Series, not the Bisexual World Series," the suit said.

...

Beth Allen, an attorney for the alliance, said Wednesday that the suit has no merit and that none of the plaintiffs suffered any discrimination.

...

"This is not a bisexuals vs. gays issue," she said. "It's whether a private organization may say who may be a member of their organization. It's an issue of freedom of association."

Chuck Thompson RIP
Chuck Thompson was fatally injured in an accident yesterday. He was a longtime BiNet Seattle organizer and our treasurer.

His organs have been donated. There will be a memorial, but I have no details yet. There should be a notice in the paper soon.

Chuck was a great guy. He had an infectious sense of humor that always brightened up a room. I know he will be missed.
