		<description><![CDATA[The first time I did a detox was physically draining, emotionally charged and ultimately a life-transforming experience.&#160; That time it was 100% raw food for 3 weeks and by the end I felt amazing.&#160; So amazing that I did a detox at least twice a year following that first time.&#160; Then life happened.

In fact, if you heard the news today about Proposition 8 being upheld in California and you aren’t offended by that, then I don’t really give a damn what you think about much of anything if I’m being truthful.&#160; I am a gay man and i am sick and tired of the second class [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Someone sent me a copy of this recently.&#160; It is an editorial that I wrote for the New York Gay City News in the summer of 2002.

		<description><![CDATA[PREFACE:&#160; This morning I came across this article which was a reprint of an article originally published in 2004 on a web site that no longer exists. In it, Star Parker presents an ill-thought out, painfully one-sided view on &#34;Gay Politics, Black Reality&#34;.&#160; Because I responded to it quite clearly stating my opinion five years [...]]]></description>

Okay, let me get this straight (pardon the pun):
1.&#160; A ditzy bimbo beauty queen who probably doesn’t have the slightest idea when she’ll be allowed to eat carbs again makes some sort of public statement against gay marriage at some pageant that is only watched by the gay men who probably did the bitch’s [...]]]></description>
