Matlovichroad.jpg Memorial plaque to civil rights activist Leonard Matlovich to be dedicated tomorrow. From a press release: “The author of a November 12 article in The Washington Post wrote, “His last speech was in the rain in Sacramento, six weeks before he died, and he was hoarse and tired and dying, and he talked about love. A Georgia native who grew up in the military, he had the knack for taking your heart and making it catch for a moment, like the way he announced on national television that he had AIDS. He seemed to make people want to be braver than perhaps they were.” The public event will begin at noon, Saturday, November 15th, in the Spencer Andrew Ceremonial Room of San Francisco’s LGBT Community Center, 1800 Market Street at Octavia.”

road.jpg Connecticut: 66 marriage licenses issued to same-sex couples since Wednesday. “The state Department of Public Health has received data from 130 of the state’s 169 cities and towns so far. A total of 94 licenses were issued Wednesday from those municipalities, including 28 to opposite-sex couples. Public Health Department spokesman William Gerrish says couples have 65 days to have their nuptials ‘solemnized’ by a minister, justice of the peace or other officiator.”

They were frightened by the experience,’ said Marcia Davis, who works as an instructional assistant at Saugus. ‘It’s not random. Somebody knows he is Jewish and is intentionally doing this.’ Lt. Brenda Cambra of the Santa Clarita sheriff’s station said the department is investigating the incident as a hate crime.”

Tambovroad.jpg Governor of Russian Tambov region cleared of criminal complaint over remarks: “The governor of the Tambov region of Russia has been cleared of charges by an appeals court following an anti-gay outburst reported in the daily newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda last May. And in a separate, but related case, the Tambov city authorities give the reason that they banned a gay march was because the closure of streets ‘breaches the rights of drivers’…’Tolerance? To hell! Faggots must be torn apart and their pieces should be thrown in the wind,’ the newspaper reported the Governor as saying.”
