The Morning After: Pro-Life Inauguration Leather Week Edition
* Something for everybody! While Barack Obama gets his inauguration on, D.C. will also play host to annual pro-life Roe v. Wade protest the March for Life and the Mid-Atlantic Leather Weekend.
* In case this inauguration date isn’t up your alley: Check out the other dudes seeking dates on Craigslist.
* Via the Washington Blade: Lou Chibbaro Jr. on last Thursday’s apparent hate crime inside Southeast’s Hong Kong Delite Carry Out.
* Pam’s House Blend has videos and photos from this weekend’s Gay and Lesbian Leadership Conference.
* In yesterday’s Washington Post Magazine “XX Files”: Wanda E. Fleming writes about surrendering to her surgeon after a cancer diagnosis and having her thyroid—and bra—removed:
She leads me to the operating table then suddenly whispers in a perfectly audible voice, “Oh, no! Why do you still have your bra on?” The attendants laugh, all three of them. Clueless, I join in. . . . She unhooks the back with the ease of a seasoned lingerie fitter. The confiscated item is pink with white lace, frilly and hopeful like something one might wear the night of a milestone anniversary. I clutch the back of my hospital gown and lie atop the table.

Thanks for the plug. As usual I see the City Paper (native Washingtonian speaking here) is all over the cutting edge. ROFL. I am the thyroid girl (and the Virtual Violations author), and to put a belated period on the matter–Yes, the entire surgical experience has an obedience undertone that is not for the free spirited or strong willed of the world. In essence, they put you down. And you stay there until they’re finished mucking around. The medical team, however, was superb, and I am back, revved.
