My Brother Testifies Before Congress
My brother testified before Congress this week on a panel about federally funded abstinence-only sexual education programs in public schools.  (In case you haven't met my brother, he testified on the side that believes that abstinence only programs are worthless and alienating.)  While I will always be proud of my brother, I believe this issue in particular is important, whether or not my brother had anything to do with it.

Max blogged about his testimony in the Reproductive Health blog RH Check.  My brother's testimony in its entirety was published by this awesome gay reverend in Atlanta.  (Warning: it is a bit of a read.  Good, but not short.)  You can view my brother's actual testimony (snazzy suit included!) in this clip from CSPAN.  There's was also a long Q and A session with the whole panel afterward that he also participated in, but we don't have video links to that at the time being.

I'm so proud of him, I could just explode!  Go Max!

Off to curl up with my darling dear.

Cheers.

. . . in Tucson. But we go back to visit the east coast (read NJ and NY) whenever we can because both of our extended families live there. And that is why I said we should meet up in Philly one day, since we are always close to there when we visit and (sadly) not very close to Florida . . .

I'd like to maybe live on the east coast one day. I enjoy the big cities out there.
