Dear Crabby, My sister-in-law is an evil wrong doing bitch! Because of her, my husband and I are continuously arguing and it is affecting our relationship. We have never had problems before, my sister-in law and I. As the arguing continues, my husband refuses to get involved. Each time I see her, I try to start over and act like nothing has happened, but she continues to ruin any family gathering and various relationships. What do I do?

The history and use of corporate support for civil rights is simultaneously a tricky slope -- particularly for the LGBT community. This isn't without logic: before the LGBT community became what it is (we, after all, have openly gay politicians, openly gay performers, television shows that depict us outside of steretypes, films dedicated to LGBT issues...), it was corporate suicide to openly endorse what was widely seen as a disease-spreading, drug-addicted, morally-inept group of outsiders.

Lets be honest: it's the four months of the year everyone looks forward to -- enjoying the sun, tanning, strolls along the beach fronts, and all the summer-ready bodies (for those of us who worked on it).

As I stood in the middle of the parking lot, I could hear the blood rushing in my ears. Pulsing. Throbbing. I’d never heard anything like it. I was twitching and rubbing my hands together and there was a fear in me that shook me to my core. The sun was white hot, and even though I was bare foot, my feet were sweating and itchy. I was 14 years old, and I was waiting patiently for Paul Baruka, the bulky, be-freckled sworn enemy of mine throughout the sixth grade. In a matter of minutes, more and more people began to gather around me and form a large circle, as if we were getting ready for some sort of ritual. A kind of offering. A sacrifice.

Compton Unified School Distrit Board (CSUD) member Skyy D. Fisher, marked as the board's legislative representative, is under fire from media and civil rights groups across the nation as he called his Superintendent Karen Frison a "bitch" and Trayvon Martin a "faggot black dude" on a friend's podcast that was recently placed on YouTube. Calling for his firing seems easy but would require 8,000 signatures to be gathered, according to a piece by LAWeekly.
