Thanks go to you, for such kind words! When I first read about the DC/Scott Card issue, I wondered why I hadn't seen much about it (I don't keep up with comic book news and I'm not an artist). Still when I did come across it, it made me very angry, and not because it was some author with whom I disagreed. It's like you said, this author is very active and is very public about his involvment and membership in groups that are anti-gay. I don't have a beef when someone is private about their beliefs. But when they use their clout as an author to do something, then I'll be quite vocal in my disagreement.

Thanks for your post with links on France's vote for same-sex marriage. It's so good and it's a start, isn't it? Still, we can't sit still now, but have to keep working. But that's the way it always has been, hasn't it? We must always be working and watching to make a better world.

Thank you for your good wishes - my hubby is getting better, but he just does not like to 'stay still' and he's getting bored, haha. (which is a good sign).
