Getting laid off right before Christmas can affect a man. Drastic measures are often called for.
This man took it a step further: He withdrew his nomination for a Beautiful Bakersfield Award.
Here's an excerpt from his blog, Miles: Unfiltered, Uncensored & Commercial Free.
One has to...

After yesterday's post about a review of Dagny's which referred to the esteemed downtown coffee house as "pretentious," we expected a storm of protest from those customers who objected to the wannabe hipster status, said reviewer conferred upon them.
But the outrage was almost...

Q. Can you find out why the Oscar-buzz film “Milk” is not playing here in Bakersfield, even though it has already opened in such gay-rights hotbeds as Modesto and Stockton? Or perhaps you can get the theater managers to confirm an opening date?
— Whitney Weddell
A. Actually,...

Some force in the United States is trying to demoralize the people. When did the gay issue even become legitimate? When did we convince ourselves that homosexual behavior is acceptable. This is outrageous.
Show me a society that thrived after accepting homosexuals? It...

Are you sure that was a ghost?
From an article on Bakersfield hauntings:
"Club Paradise: An unknown presence has been reported locking people into the storeroom. Also people have been mysteriously pushed, grabbed, and even groped. And lastly, objects are known to be moved around."...

This story is written from my heart. It is not written to change peoples' minds...I do not want to debate the issue, I do not want hate mail but feel free to comment (but keep it polite). I am just writing to say that there are real people, real families on both sides of this issue and we all...

It has been 162 days since May 16th, the day the California Supreme Court overturned the 1977 legislative decision and 2000's Proposition 22 which both defined marriage as being between one man and one woman (at any particular point in time, of course). The Supreme Court saw these measures...

This is great. I was at the demonstration tonight and apparently Mr Mettler decided teaching children homosexuality was so destructive, punching people was the only answer.
Mettler is a Kern High school trustee... so this cant be good for him or his cause. Mettler is also the chair person for...

Nothing polarizes people like telling them they are on the dark side of a spiritual battle. So much for bringing people together.

I was saddened to come across this article today, discussing an evangelical man marrying a young girl, while engaging in polygamy and sex with a minor. You have to understand how hard this was for me to swallow, because all these prop 8 ads had me believing that gay marriage was the real...

This is a recent article from Mrs. Shrider, if you have the time, please read it to understand my response. (If you give a rats ...)
It’s a question I’ve asked myself more than once since I agreed to participate in the Proposition 8 debate last week at Cal State Bakersfield. I...

I am often asked why I stay in Bakersfield. As a very out lesbian, why not re-locate to the Bay Area or LA where there is a raging, established community? There they have activities 24-7, and so much more diversity within the community itself. Plus, let's face it, in places like that,...

Thanks to the Bakersfield Republican Assembly for discovering why your PG&E bill is so high.
And while we're on the bender agenda, here's gawker.com on Anderson Cooper.

I have no problem with people expressing a different point of view than mine. I wrote my first blog the other day. I got several replies, some I agreed with, some I didn’t. I left them ALL up.
Today I posted a reply to another person’s blog, and he/she removed it. This same person is...

I want to share a story very few people know about me.
Ever since puberty I knew I was gay. However, it wasn’t until several years later before I came to terms with my sexual preference.
When I was in the ninth grade, I was a total outsider at my school. My family had moved to a...

So, Ms. Barnett has suspended all marriages. This is a bold move. I have wondered whether or not to support her decision. So?
The fact of the matter is that Ms. Barnett reports to the people. She is an elected official. Just like Ken Weir must report to the...

Hello, Californian reporter Louis Medina here trying to get comments from the community for a story I'm doing. It's to follow up on Kern County Clerk Ann Barnett's decision to stop performing civil marriages — for gay or straight people — after the California Supreme Court stood by...

Being a believer in God (I am Baptist), I think marriage should be only between a man and a woman. Gay marriage should be outlawed!

John Amaechi isn't courageous.
The former NBA player hid.
He hid behind closed doors, in lockerrooms, in hotel rooms. He waited until he believed it was safe to come out.
That isn't a show of courage in this day in age -- that's taking the easy way out.
What Amaechi did was open the door for...
