Lubna Hussein Wears Her Pants Well

Kudos to Lubna Hussein of Sudan for standing up for women’s rights by bringing attention to her upcoming trial for the terrible offense of wearing pants. Her inspirational appeal to the government to change the law such that pants are not viewed as immodest dress for women should be a warning for the conservative leadership that laws cannot be subjectively enforced or interpreted and that women of courage will gladly submit to 40 lashes and a fine to bring change.

Light Up The Night in Philly

Sara and I went to the Light Up The Night event organized by Marriage Equality and Join The Impact at Love Park in Philadelphia today. While the turnout was small due t0 the holiday season and freezing cold weather, the mood was good for the 35 or so demonstrators. A reporter from WHYY was capturing opinions, singing, and interviewing people including us. He seemed surprised that Sara and I were straight, still he reminded me that we’ve been fighting for equal rights for the GLBT community for years. For me, it’s been 18 years, and I have to admit that while things have improved, there’s a long way to go.

A Memory of David Halberstam

Hope you read Frank Rich piece in the NY Times today. Halberstam spoke at my undergraduate graduation from Drew University in 1994, shortly after celebrating the 20th-anniversary of the publishing of his “The Best and the Brightest”. (Gary Trudeau satirized him in Doonesbury as “a writer of mighty tomes”.) I wonder what he’d have thought about President-Elect Obama’s appointments. But given his passing last year and my memory of his perspective, I think he’d mostly approve. -SA
