Slog - Comments on Concerned Women http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/02/concerned_women The Concerned Women for America are very concerned about the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force giving an award--the Leather Leadership Award, one of several the group passes out every year at its annual Creating Change conference--to Guy Baldwin. Here's a bit about Guy from the NGLTF press release: Baldwin is a Los Angeles-based psychotherapist, author and activist on behalf of “erotically uncommon people.” Baldwin may be best known for his monthly essays which appeared in Drummer Magazine and were collected in his 1993 book, Ties That Bind.

Celebrating one's right to enslave during a month dedicated to showing the terrible wounds and price real slavery has had on humanity is GREAT! Keep up the good work.

Putting it lightly, at one time he was their well paid expert publicity hack.

It seems anti gay hate mongering is still pulling in the bucks ... and in all fairness, Burgess says he had regrets all the way to the bank.

Anti gay only begins to tell the story of CWA, total right wing miscreants.

Sure as hell not my mom or granny.

Or more accurately, that they have been cliche and boring for a long time. Wasn't Michel Foucault way into the leather scene?

Next up for ridicule/salvation/yawn production: the Goths!

I am telling you Rossi has a future in Seattle as long as he supports bike lanes and opposes tunnels.

Every time I've submitted a comment or question on their web site, I've gotten mail from some guy in response. You should check what they have to say about the "gay agenda". Be sure to contact them to tell them how you feel about it. Probably some guy will write back to you.

Man, that's nothing. At my school, the Black Students Association had a date auction--an actual, honest-to-god, bid-money-for-the-person-on-the-stage auction--during Black History Month, and no one saw the irony.

I think the BSU at UW also does a charity bachelor auction every year.
