I do think it would be an incredible experiment to shut down the whole Internet for five years and see what sort of art is produced over that span. There’s too much technology available.

“You can find our issues explicitly referenced on only three [presidential] candidates’ [Web] sites (Kucinich, Richardson and Gravel). Frontrunners Clinton, Obama and Edwards carefully parse their support of our people into specific reforms. We find no evidence that the Democratic frontrunners counter Republicans’ anti-LGBT speech with routine and positive inclusion of LGBT people in their visions for a whole and healthy society.

The Democrats include us – sorta – but only in response to a direct question and typically in the language of careful legislative reform.
