Harvey Milk – Gay Superhero

Harvey Milk Day Celebration

Celebrating the most dynamic and wonderful man, a man who the world still needs today. He was the world’s first honestly gay politician. And he was murdered by a colleague who would be deemed psychotic by today’s standards. There are too many hate-filled religious lunatics preaching fear and intolerance. The fight for equality means that gay people are still enduring their own civil rights movement. In 2013. We may think we are living in the future, with its information superhighway and particle accelerators, but a lot of people are condemned to live in the past. By people who should know better. To those bigots I say ‘Stop obsessing about what other people do in bed and get a life of your own.’

Peace.

Postcards from Barbary Lane - Mrs Madrigal as played by Olympia Dukakis, illustration by Mark WallisHere’s the latest in my Postcards From Barbary Lane series.

There are two other Postcards in the series, Mona and that gorgeous old house itself, Number 28 and if that isn’t enough, check out my special Tales of the City page for artwork and features.

Sunshine and Dandelions

Dandelion. It’s my new favourite word – bounces like Tigger and isn’t afraid to wear a silly hat. I want to be a dandelion…

Dandelion, ChorltonvilleThese are some of the views I stole on a walk round Chorltonville yesterday, drenched in summer sun and everything turning green around us. Doesn’t Manchester scrub up well on a hot day? Continue reading
