One of my favorite comedy writers is a journalist
From ATLMalcontent:
But back to Gay History Month. I plan on networking with the other members of the Gay, Lesbian, Transgendered, Bisexual, Bi-curious and Gay-friendly Diversity Coordinators Association to brainstorm over when and how Gay History Month should be celebrated. For that matter, there should also be a Lesbian History Month, a Transgendered History Month, Bisexual History Month and Bi-Curious History Month. We're here, we're bi, gay-friendly and queer, and we won't be satisfied until we are properly recognized with a month, and it better not be one with less than 31 days!

I need your help, fast
Have you recently or persistently suffered discrimination because of your appearance?
Do you think people treat you badly because of the way you look, dress or groom yourself?
Are you an experienced restaurant or bar server passed up for jobs at trendy restaurants because you don’t look like a model?
If so, give me a call at 404-614-1888 or e-mail me at andisheh@creativeloafing.com. I’m working on a story for which you might be able to help.
