Thanks. My lifepartner is pretty much their webmistress these days.

We hope to have mpeg1 files of our appearances on local TV (a 5 minutes on the local Fox affiliate's news, and a 30 minute call-in show on a local PBS station) available on-line soon.

It's not just gays that don't get bashed while armed though. The second amendment works for all of us, whether you want to take advantage of it or not.

Quite true. But there is a perception that gays are uniformly politically liberal gun-haters. Being presumed to be unarmed is a very dangerous thing. We're working to change that perception, and we support the right of self-defense for *everyone*. And when people no longer assume that queers are defenseless, it benefits *all* queers. Even the gun haters. :-)
We also work to change the perception amongst queer folk that they'll be reviled and excluded in the shooting community, the range and the gun shop. It's not true at all. Most shooters are staunch enough believers in personal freedom that they don't care about your sexual orientation.
