I just watched a move the other day, Milk. It's about Harvey Milk who was a prominent gay activist and got voted into public office passed a couple of bills protecting people against discrimination based on sexual orientation.
Related to that, I've been keeping in touch with what's going on with AWARE in Singapore. To refresh your memory, religious fundies basically took a sudden interest in the group, signed up, got their own voted into the EXCO and now want to steer it the way they want it to go.
My friend has been keeping a tab on it at her blog . You can find out all the stuff that has been going on in detail.
She would also like to inform you what you can do about it and talks about it right here.
Secondly, there is going to be a LGBTQ gathering. I realised many people think that these people are some noxious breed because ... they have never met one! You can find information about this gathering here. Click on the timer device. You can also register via facebook.
I believe activism requires two basic ingredients 1) an individual intensely passionate about a cause (who puts in massive amounts of effort) 2) a large number of people who support this person and do their own tiny parts. Its kinda of like if everyone donates a pinch of sand, you can get a massive heap!
Ladies, I think only you can do something about AWARE right now. You have to sign up and stuff the details are on the blog mentioned above (looked for EGM).
The rest of us can show up at the pinkdot event. It wont take much and its legal (the website says so).
So what are you waiting for? We live in an age of adventure, you now have the power to make history! Cheers.

Hi. Welcome to Epiblast! The name is partly inspired by PZ Myers famous blog, Pharyngula partly by the fact that the epiblast, a simple tissue in a developing embryo (labelled 5), gives rise, eventually, to virtually everything inside our body. It's a metaphor for how some of our simple, fundamental ideas vastly affect the other aspects of our life. This blog covers my interests; usually science, medicine, atheism, religion. I might sneak in a bit of philosophy or magic if I feel like it. I warn you, the discussion gets uncomfortable and I come to conclusions which are unconventional, maybe contradictory to yours. Don't go crying to someone if you are offended.
Epiblast!
