LOUISIANA JUDGE BARDWELL RESIGNS

Happy are we to see this thing come to a sane conclusion.
Most of our reader are doubtless familiar with the story of Keith Bardwell, the Tangipahoa Parish Judge who refused to legally validate, (sign) a marriage license to a ZebraCouple.  Yesterday, Bardwell resigned.
Here are the high(low)lights– the quotes attributed to Mr. Bardwell throughout his Waterloo: [...]

ZEBRACOUPLE JOINS FACEBOOK

A few posts back, we mentioned our intentions to blitz the online social networking scene, and possibly generate enough friends and followers to help us tell the black-white interracial relationship story.  To that end, we’ve now got a facebook presence.
It’s spartan to say the least.  To date, we have no followers, no visitors, and really [...]

THE CURIOUS CASE OF MR. OBAMA (Button)

Okay, okay– so the title’s a bad tie-in to a movie nearly as lame.  But it did get your attention, right?  In contemplating what it was I wanted to write about today, no other pithy five to eight words popped to mind.  Here’s the deal.
I’ve heard (Shhhhh) white murmurings that Barack H. Obama is not reeeeeealy a [...]

DIAGNOSIS WINTER

Much has happened since our last post.  I suppose I got a bit discouraged.  I’d hoped that readership here would be much higher than it had been.  I was “posting my brains out,” and comments were few and far between.  I was, (still am) very passionate about this topic (“Interracial-ism”) – and I know writing about [...]

Family Friendly? Or not-so?

I know I’ve said before that Que’s African American family really loves me, cares for me as much as they can, given the fact that I’ve come into their already-pretty-well-developed-lives just within the last decade.  I mean, it isn’t like we all grew up together and bonded that way.  They love me as I love [...]

Stereotypes

Everyone knows the word stereotype.  Surely, most know what it means.  One online dictionary defines it as: an oversimplified standardized image of a person or group.  I thought that this one was pretty good; straight to the point, no BS.
I was really trying to figure out how the two words, “Stereo,” and “Type,” came together [...]

Cutest Dog Ever!???? Waaaaaay off Topic…..

And quite shameless too I’ll admit, and then somewhat proudly proceed to do it anyway.  In the end, you’ll see there is a tie-in. 
A friend of ours entered a photo I took of our Beagle puppy Pez 

Gone With the Wind or “ElastaGel’s Story”

Anyone who knows me knows that I’m a wannabe writer / journalist.  As I begin writing this “Special Edition” post, (note that it’s today’s second) Que is doing what she can to stop the press, and supress free media.  Undaunted, my journalistic integrity is stronger than my fear of sleeping on the futon with the [...]

The IR Gene

So there’s another haphazardly scribbled title that, in the end will reflect what this post is all about, hmmmm– maybe 10%.  “Write Post” is almost Nazi-like in the way it commands us to jumpstart the creativity.  I want to begin with my thoughts, and the topic I’d like to expolre today, but WordPress places the [...]

Interracial Vacations

I preface what I am about to say with the by now familiar disclaimer, “These things are true of all relationships, not just interracial ones…”  But the vacation issue–that is, how to spend precious time off and much needed time away from work and worry– often is an area of minor disagreement for this black-white [...]
