ON-DEMAND VIDEO as seen LIVE earlier today: Opening / Dedication of Harvey Milk Park & Equality Plaza, Long Beach, CA:
SPECIAL EVENT VIDEO COVERAGE is made possible by: LONG BEACH: NOT JUST ANOTHER PRETTY BEACH Video streaming by Ustream | Background: Harvey Milk Promenade Park, previously an undistinguished strip of land between the sidewalk and a parking structure at 3rd St. and The Promenade, has been transformed with multiple improvements and iconic amenities into Harvey Milk Promenade Park and Equality Plaza. The area, opened today, includes new signage, landscaping and enhanced paving, special lighting, seating and community chess tables. It's also the first park in Long Beach named for an openly gay person and the first park in the U.S. named for the slain San Francisco Supervisor and LGBT civil rights advocate. The plaza includes a concrete replica of the soapbox on which Milk stood to address crowds (below), a 20-foot flagpole to fly the gay pride flag and Equality Plaza, an area dedicated to recognizing local area LGBT leaders and their contributions to Long Beach and the gay civil rights movement.

Opinion / The Bear Facts: May Roundup: Life Changing Stem Cell Operation, Teenage Birth Control...And Local Politics (Sheriff, Mayor, Sac'to, Council)
Today the buzz in the news is the after morning pill that will now be available to young girls age fifteen and up. Ahhh, the reaction from the Right is both predictable and ridiculous as it always amazes me that we still have people who don't think that their young adult daughters would ever think of having sex out of wedlock and that the old rhythm method works just as good for birth control as does the pill. Or better yet that abstinence is the best way to handle the issue of birth control...
