Gettin' Back to My Cactus Roots--Tucson, AZ

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.
