Legal Eagle Lands in D.C.
Shannon Minter was the lead counsel for same-sex couples in the marriage case that the California Supreme Court ruled in favor of recently, citing that same-sex couples have the right to marry and live free of discriminatory laws. Minter is also a transgender man. By Yusef Najafi
Out in This World
Just to be clear, don't simply describe Gaylaxicon 2008 -- this p***t's premier GLBT sci-fi event, held semi-annually since 1988 and last in the D.C. area in 2000 -- as a "science-fiction convention." First, one must define the terms. "It's really anything that might fall under the umbrella of 'speculative fiction,'" says Rob Gates, one of the organizers of this year's event, the only science-fiction convention specially geared toward GLBT people.

DOMESTIC PARTNER
 Gardasil Gambit
Visit Gardasil's official Web site, and unless you are female, you probably won't find much appeal in the opening page featuring a group of women of various ages. That's because Gardasil, the vaccine that works to prevent cervical cancer, genital lesions and genital warts caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) types 6, 11, 16 and 18, has so far been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for women, ages 9 to 26, only. Why then are gay men getting the vaccine? By Yusef Najafi
