Basking in the afterglow of defeating the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and California’s Proposition 8, gay rights groups are planning the next steps to strike down laws in remaining States that prohibit same-sex unions.
“Within five years, we will bring marriage equality to all 50 states,” says Chad Griffin, president of the American gay rights lobby group Human Rights Campaign.
On a new career adventure, I perform as a Stage Hypnotist (clubs, fundraisers, private shows, etc; www.BrandonTheHypnotist.com), as well as maintain a private practice in downtown Toronto as a Certified Consulting Hypnotist and Hypnotherapist (in short, I use hypnosis to help people overcome everyday problems.) Between August 1993 and January 2016, I worked with Pink Triangle Press (publisher of this website) as Publisher & Editor-in-chief and Director of Publishing. I joined PTP in August 1993 to establish the Ottawa operation and launch (then called) Capital Xtra, later rebranded to Xtra Ottawa. During my 22.5 year tenure with PTP, I lived and worked in Ottawa, Vancouver, and since 2001, Toronto. At some point, I served as Publisher & Editor-in-chief of every print product PTP published.
