Thursday, May 13th, 2010It is absolutely no lie that unions are what built the backbone of this nation. Happy to have child labor laws? Paid time off? Workers rights to safe working conditions? Thank a union. And the airlines are actually a largely unionized group, with mechanics, flight attendants, pilots, and the like. Unions are good for the [...]
Palin’s Latest
Monday, May 10th, 2010Reposted from sister blog BuryingTheLead.com Tell me something. Have YOU heard about Sarah Palin’s latest word-mastery? No. And hardly anyone else has, either. Frankly, it’s beyond words. She basically wants American law to go back “the way it was – how our founders intended”. And what is that? Based on a CHRISTIAN God and the [...]
Boycotting Arizona – to make it hurt!
Monday, May 3rd, 2010Reposted from BuryingTheLead.com By now everyone has heard about the new Arizona law that allows racial profiling – basically it’s a crime to be brown-skinned in Arizona. And cops can decide who and what to do about it. PAPERS, PLEASE! Of course there are talks of boycotting Arizona, and the predictable “1,000,000 against Arizona’s new [...]
Quick note about ads
Thursday, April 29th, 2010After years, we finally succumbed and put ads up (the upper right hand side of the page). Here’s the thing. They should be contextual – but either way, politically. We had a “Nation for Marriage” ad that was up against New Hampshire Governor Lynch, chiding him for – among other things – signing the gay [...]
Reasons for the LGBT community to worry – part 2
Monday, April 26th, 2010Wow, it didn’t take time for the other shoe to drop. Not six hours after my first post on why the LGBT community may have a reason to worry comes a new reason to wonder what the LGBT community has coming to them from the Obama White House. This one is more subtle than a [...]
Underneath the talking points lay hate
Monday, April 26th, 2010Reposted from sister blog BuryingTheLead.com There is something to be said about the Republican party starting with the 2008 election, and that is their connection to violent speech. Everyone remembers Palin’s comments during the 2008 election cycle where she claimed Barack Obama “palled around with terrorists“, and the fact that she didn’t denounce hate-speech shouted [...]
Reasons for the LGBT community to worry?
Monday, April 26th, 2010There is a lead over at AMERICAblog Gay with the headline: Did the White House really just threaten to cut off the entire gay community? Now here’s the thing. The story talks about how Obama’s Chief of Staff Rahm Emanual and Deputy Chief of Staff Jim Messina are PISSED at the LGBT community for actions [...]
Why marriage is important – gay and straight: A story of elder abuse
Monday, April 19th, 2010Reposted from sister blog BuryingTheLead.com I cannot believe just how horrific some stories of abuse can turn out to be, especially for the elderly. All too often, cases of our elders being taken for granted and scammed are in the news, and the actual act of elder abuse is rampant. Try doubling elder abuse with [...]
Forget educating straight people – gay people need it too!
Wednesday, April 14th, 2010So there is a bunch of misinformation out there about the GLBTQ community, and it members of that community that are responsible for educating people. We need to keep people in the know, clear up misconceptions, and stomp on the downright lies of the bigots and homophobes until they no longer are spread. But this [...]
Support our soldiers! Ask Obama to pardon Choi and Pietrangelo at PardonOurSoldiers.com
Friday, March 19th, 2010Our soldiers would give their lives for us, and it doesn’t matter if they are gay or straight. Yesterday, two brave men, Lt. Dan Choi and Capt. Jim Pietrangelo protested the US Military’s practice of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, the discriminatory practice of throwing gay and lesbian soldiers out of the armed forces. For that, [...]
