Authors Behaving Badly: New Hope Gay Marriage Saga
Authors Behaving Badly
In the past few years we've heard a great deal about authors behaving badly. There's even an acronym...BBA...badly behaving author. But this following list mentions a few alleged BBAs who aren't new authors, or even self-published authors, and I found the comments fascinating.
Here are just a few names mentioned. There are fourteen mentioned altogether, twelve of which are showcased in detail.

Tom Daley is Straight
I'm out of the office and posting from a tablet today, so please excuse any spelling errors that might happen. Tony and I had to go to NY to visit someone in the hospital. Traffic is a nightmare.
In any event, British Olympic Swimmer, Tom Daley came out of the closet and stated that he's straight. I know that sounds like fire is hot. But it seems he had to make a statement about it.
“ I think it’s funny when people say I’m gay ... I laugh it off... I’m not. But even if I wa...

PA Judge Fast Ruling for Gay Marriage; Valerie Harper Dancing with Stars
PA Judge Fast Ruling for Gay Marriage
As I posted earlier today, a judge will rule as to whether or not Montgomery County Clerk, D. Bruce Hanes, was acting illegally by issuing marriage licenses to same sex couples.
A judge promised to rule as quickly as possible after hearing arguments Wednesday about whether a suburban Philadelphia court clerk should be forced to stop issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
Commonwealth Court Judge Dan Pellegrini said a central issue is "how power is a...

Nathan Bransford Post About Bullies and Goodreads
I wasn't planning another post today, however, I ran across a recent blog post by author Nathan Bransford about alleged Goodreads bullies and I wanted to link to it for various reasons. One of which is to be able to go back and revisit the topic in the future. I really do think of my blog as a journal and I like having references. Another reason is that I think it's one of the most neutral and intelligent posts I've read on the t...

Gay Marriage Montgomery County, PA; Free Excerpt Small Town Romance Writer
Gay Marriage Montgomery County, PA
As most people know, same sex marriage in PA is still illegal in spite of the SCOTUS ruling this summer. In protest, D. Bruce Hanes, who is a Montgomery County Clerk, is straight, and has two children, started issuing marriage licenses to same sex couples this summer.
From my earlier post:
Even though same sex marriage is still not legal in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Montgomery County in PA issued marriage licenses to same sex couples today in defiance...

Mixed Reviews for The Butler Book on Amazon
There are 120 reader reviews for The Butler on Amazon as of right now. There are 37 5 star reviews, 10 4 star, 21 3 star, 19 2 star, and 33 1 star reviews. The main reason why I'm curious about the reviews is that I've been thinking about buying the book because I love things like this, and reading about topics that deal with civil rights and the entire movement.
However, two family members recently bought The Butler and both said the...

50 Shades Movie Fan Site; New Author Highlight; Owen Keehnen Wild City Press
50 Shades Movie Fan Site
I have to admit I'm not big on fandom personally. I'm just not wired that way. But I do think it's interesting that 50 Shades move fan sites are already popping up all over the web. Also, when I write these posts and share them on social media I know that some people don't like 50 Shades and they can be very vocal about it. I'm not one of them, and I try to be objective with posts like this and I'm only passing information along to others. In other words, this isn...
