Happy New Year!

I hope you all have a wonderful New Year!  2010 was a year of many conflicts and battles for the LGBT community as a whole. Still here in the U.S. and around the world there was continued progress. So celebrate that.

Hopefully everyone took the time to make a difference in our struggle and improved all our lives. If not try making it a resolution for this year. It all helps and adds up, no matter how large or small the action.

Links will resume tomorrow as promised. Enjoy the last day of the holiday season and recover if you need to.

Happy New Year!
