I’d like to note, too, that Mel from Stirrup Queens is nominated under health blog, and she’s been wonderfully accepting of the lgbt TTC community in her blog (not to mention that quite often her posts make me laugh until I cry).

And if I might add to the Looky, Daddy greatest hits list, queer ally sub-list: his post immediately following the Prop 8 loss was amazing:

Your Days Are None The Better For What You Have Done

And way back when I was duking it out for the Weblog Awards Best New Blog back in 2006, he put in a plug for me and then used it as a segue into an argument against gay marriage. Which you can only read to appreciate (think Swift’s “Modest Proposal”):

Stumping for a Friend

One of the most fantastic things about having Brian as an ally is that he uses his rapier wit to skewer bias in a way that harangues will never quite equal. And because he’s a guy, and a hetero guy, and a beer-swilling, power-tool using one, his natural feminism and queer ally-dom sways an often un- or under-tapped constituency. Helps make space for folks remotely (or even exactly) like him to see how much more fun it is to be loving and supportive.

And no, this was not a paid advert.
