Interview opportunity for LGBTQ Women
Written by Carly Thomsen Sunday, 09 October 2011 13:11
My name is Carly Thomsen and I am a doctoral student in the Department
of Feminist Studies at the University of California Santa Barbara
(UCSB). I am conducting dissertation research on the ways in which LGBTQ women in rural South Dakota and Minnesota live their lives.
I am looking to interview women who love or desire women and/or who
identify as LGBTQ in some way, potentially preferring to use terms such
as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, heteroflexible, bicurious, and so on. Interviewees must be over the age of 18.
The interview is comprised of open-ended questions, so hopefully it'll
feel like more of a conversation between people who are just getting to
know one another rather than some stuffy research interview. Of course,
participants can refuse to answer any questions they are uncomfortable
with and you should feel free to ask me questions as well!
It's possible that the interview could take anywhere from 30 minutes to
1.5 hours, just depending on how much information you want to share with
me. All information is completely confidential.
interviewed, please contact me at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or at

Many thanks!
Best, Carly Thomsen

Letters: Roger Hunt's moral crusades
Barry G. Wick, Rapid City, SD (letter to the editor pub. 07/03/2011
New York legalized same-sex marriage June 24, and it is legal in Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont and Washington, D.C. Same-sex marriages from elsewhere are recognized as marriages in Maryland, New Mexico, New York, Rhode Island and California (if the marriage took place before Proposition 8 passed). Eleven other nations allow same-sex couples to marry - Argentina, Belgium, Canada, Iceland, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, South Africa, Spain, Sweden and Mexico. Animus directed at South Dakota's gays and lesbians began in 1994 with Rep. Roger Hunt of Brandon demanding our state be the first to ban same-sex marriage.

Bob Ellis returns to writing about real South Dakota politics… but alas! He does so only to peddle hate, deception, and his persecution complex. Ellis crows about the pink flyer being circulated by his fellow fundagelicals to damage Ritchie Nordstrom’s campaign for a seat on the city commission in Rapid City.

Louis Marinelli, the former National Organization for Marriage tour director who announced his opposition this month, said president Brian Brown directed him to make rival LGBT campaigners look as “crazy” as possible, even when that required distortion of the facts.

Gay Adoption Legislation Fails in Illinois
Written by Ray Long Wednesday, 13 April 2011 19:07
April, 13, 2011 - posted by Ray Long - Chicago Tribune
SPRINGFIELD --- A measure to ensure faith-based groups could turn away committed same-sex couples who want to adopt children or provide foster homes failed in the Illinois Senate today.
Opponents said it's a direct assault on Illinois' new civil union law, which takes effect June 1. And some fear children will lose opportunities to be placed in loving homes because of discrimination.
