When headlines LIE
Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009Oh man… You have to give it to Don Wildmon and the AFA. They can lie with the best of them (which, oddly enough, God said you shouldn’t do – but they don’t care. I get an email newsletter from the AFA that declares “Teacher fired for conservative website”. Being someone who is TOTALLY for [...]
FOX News counts on you having a 12 second memory. Do you?
Saturday, June 20th, 2009This is just so blatantly awful that it is not even funny anymore. FOX News is whining because ABC News will have an exclusive with the President. So what do they do? They go off about “This has never happened before” and “We haven’t seen this type of access to a President in decades.” Decades? [...]
Harassment by any other name…
Friday, June 19th, 2009Wow… On the West Coast, there really are a few cities that you look towards for GLBT leadership. Those cities are San Francisco, Seattle, Los Angeles, and Portland (probably in that order – at least in my mind). We have leadership in those cities that not only welcome the GLBT community, but help fight the [...]
A year of civil disobedience for GLBT rights
Thursday, June 18th, 2009People are up in arms over the big DOMA flap, and rightly so.

Joe and I got an email the other day from a well-connected gay friend, and he said he was hearing rumors that the Obama administration, in an effort to woo back the gays, was thinking of possibly announcing the [...]
The GLBT community starts to respond to Obama on DOMA
Monday, June 15th, 2009First of all, I know that I don’t speak for the entire GLBT community. And neither do the guys over at Towleroad.com or AmericaBlog.com. But there is a movement afoot, and I hope that it continues to grow. The Obama DOJ, and Obama himself, need to be held responsible for the hateful DOMA defense brief [...]
Obama is losing support from the GLBT community
Friday, June 12th, 2009So first we had the presidential contest of 2008. Obama and Clinton were jockeying for support from the GLBT community. Lots of great things were said, like ending DADT, repealing DOMA. Where are we, less than six months into the Obama administration?
We, the GLBT community, are under the bus, having been thrown there by President [...]
