When headlines LIE

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

Tweet Oh 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 [...]

FOX News counts on you having a 12 second memory. Do you?

Saturday, June 20th, 2009

Tweet This 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.”  [...]

Harassment by any other name…

Friday, June 19th, 2009

Tweet Wow… 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 GLBT community starts to respond to Obama on DOMA

Monday, June 15th, 2009

Tweet First 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 [...]

Obama is losing support from the GLBT community

Friday, June 12th, 2009

Tweet So 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 [...]
