is there an 'out' gay person in the AA line-up?

just curious. haven't heard ALL the programming beyond Franken and RHODES.

there's another thread about the lack of black voices. but, i don't think there's much ethnic diversity at all (yet!) i certainly hope that changes.

i, personally, would LOVE to hear an out, informed voice on the national airwaves.

<sigh>

we ALL want AA to be everything we hope it can be.

let's support it, let's support it's advertisers

and let's give it a *little* slack on fulfilling ALL of our dreams

ok?

2. Barney Frank was a guest

I think it was the first night of "Majority Report." Very good interview. Janeane asked him if it was going to be "Senator Frank" in the future.

3. We have an Atheist

in the AA line-up. :evilgrin:

The very powerful, and the very stupid, have one thing in common. They never adjust their views to fit the facts, they adjust the facts to fit their views.

Which can be quite uncomfortable...if you happen to be one of the facts that needs adjusting.

7. yup!

google would seem to confirm.

will try to catch her.

(never meant to suggest that the current AA lineup is less than gay-positive, my OP was much more general.

AA is not all that 'diverse' yet.

but, i will give it time.

6. yes

AA should play the 60min oral essay that ran recently on WBAI

much better than reruns of Al or Randi

not that I don't like them, but, heard it already!
