PFLAG supporter (and Navy veteran) Jason Knight (pictured) blogs about the new Showtime series United States of Tara over at his blog My Normal Gay Life. "The new series follows Tara, played by Toni Collette, a struggling mom dealing with disassociative identity disorder, commonly known as multiple personality disorder," Knight writes, adding that, "With the support of her husband Max (John Cobett) and children Marshall and Kate (Keir Gilchrist / Brie Larson), Tara attempts to juggle all there is to being a mom."
"That includes raising a family of acceptance."
"Teen son Marshall, played by Keir Gilchrist, bakes, is highly articulate, and a snappy dresser; steering away from what the world would see as normal gender roles for male boys," Knight notes. "However, he is embraced and supported by his family, a loving PFLAG family - despite jabs from Buck, one of Tara's alter personalities who refers to Marshal as 'Marsha.'"

Mary Frances Berry, former chairwoman of the Commission on Civil Rights, asks the question today in her New York Times op-ed, Gay But Equal?Berry spells out the many inequalities LGBT people in America face, from housing, employment, and legal benefits, to the military's "Don't Ask Don't Tell" policies, to adoption and relationship recognition that heterosexual people take for granted.
But she goes one step further. She calls on Obama and his new administration to take a proactive step in addressing LGBT civil rights:
"The creation of a new, independent human and civil rights commission could help us determine our next steps in the pursuit of freedom and justice in our society. A number of explosive issues like immigration reform await such a commission, but recommendations for resolving the controversies over the rights of gays, lesbians and transgendered people should be its first order of business."

Recovery is the word of the moment: economic recovery from a runaway market capitalism, social recovery from the right-wing agenda to pick and choose who has civil rights, and moral recovery from the kind of blind self-righteousness that can convince itself that torture isn’t torture but “enhanced techniques.” Speaking personally, I think recovery from the [...]
