I bet he was pleased as punch that they did. 1

Hunter Thomson Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 Apologies if this is inappropriate or considered soliciting, but it's certainly good news for me. I've received written correspondence from professors and librarians at three separate universities that they would like to purchase my research book for their collections. Just have to wait for the sales to go through, but this is a nice little Christmas gift for myself. 4
Former Member Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 Siya Bhebhe, a six-year-old girl from Botswana, makes a trip to a small village in the south of Zimbabwe, to give toys and teaching aids to school kids At a time when most girls Siya's age are more concerned about Taylor Swift, the latest Barbie doll, and popular fashion accessories, this young girl is more concerned with helping others.

Site Administrator wildone Posted March 1, 2016 Site Administrator Posted March 1, 2016 I hope this isn't political anymore. I read this yesterday and never even knew of this gentlemen that lived in my city, Everett Klippert. Read Story Here or here It is an interesting story of our sordid past as a nation, and probably can be reflected around the world. Some of the interesting quotes: In 1969 the law was passed (repealing the law making homosexuality a crime) Calgary Police Chief Ken McIver reportedly said at the time, “Now that homosexuality is legal everyone in Canada is going to become either gay or lesbian. **So that is what happened to me ** The government will also review hundreds of cases of gay men convicted of acts such as “buggery” and other offences prior to the legalization of male homosexual acts in 1969. Lesbian acts were never illegal in Canada. Like I said, don't want to analyse the politics of it, but just feels nice to know that it is really never to late to say 'Sorry' and try to make things right 3

As for Mike, there are tall men out there, but his height isn't that common so he would get people looking even if was just surreptitiously. 1

AC Benus Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 I read this yesterday and never even knew of this gentlemen that lived in my city, Everett Klippert. I posted this a couple years ago...the connection of Klippert's wrongful jailing and the creation of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms seems to be little known. Why is that, because it's a Gay issue that granted basic rights for all Canadians...? Hmmmm https://www.gayauthors.org/forums/blog/513/entry-13400-someting-to-share/ 4

Hmmmm https://www.gayauthors.org/forums/blog/513/entry-13400-someting-to-share/ well its been in the news a lot here for the past week, and CBC has been showing a Doc: How We Got Gay. So hopefully more people are learning about the Charter. Thanks AC and wild one for sharing! 2

Mikiesboy Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 The dog, the autistic Wellington boy and the global tale I personally know of a family that has a 'therapy' dog for their autistic son. His mother has said that the dog has made a huge difference. Lovely story. Dogs are so helpful, more so than we think they are. It makes me sad that dogs are so unwelcome. I'll tell you one thing, my dog isn't the one spitting in my apartment building hallway. Thanks for this great story Graeme!
