@MHarrisPerry If you are not following Melissa Harris Perry you are missing out on brilliant discussion and analysis of the news, history and society. This is an illuminated professor with an understanding of the world paralleled by few people on the planet. Visit her website www.melissaharrisperry.com , read her regular columns at www.thenation.com view her appearances on www.msnbc.com or follow her on twitter www.twitter.com/mharrisperry . I haven't always agreed with her point of view, but I have never felt cheated by what I have learned from her.
Show your support for Wisconsin Unions, Teachers, Public Sector Workers and the Recall Efforts by changing your social networking Icons to this picture on Wednesdays. I am calling it Wisconsin Wednesday. Don't think because your are not in Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio or Florida that your support doesn't matter. It matters a lot.
Find a Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual or Gay teenager, and support them. Follow them on Twitter, Friend them on Facebook, Do whatever you do on Foursquare. Give them your number and tell them they can call you whenever they need to talk. Buy them one of the Old Navy Love Proud shirts, sponsor their gas money or hotel room to go to a Gay Pride Parade, give them a gift card to dinner and a movie. You don't have to do much to change and maybe even save a life. This is particularly important if you are not Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual or Transgender. Our community can do all kinds of things to support these teens, but the understanding and acceptance of a non-gay person can make all the difference in the world to one of these kids.
