If the tables were turned…
Wednesday, February 9th, 2011Tweet Okay, I totally don’t get this. So in Iowa, where gay marriage is legal (because all seven Iowa Supreme Court justices agreed it was a civil right), the Iowa House is investigating a bill that would allow discrimination against gay people who are married. I understand the basis. If you hold religious beliefs, that’s fine. [...]
NOM brings me back to 1967
Monday, August 24th, 2009Tweet Okay, so I wasn’t born until late 1967, and I don’t remember this myself. But the feelings are the same. Watch NOM’s latest commercial (you can find it here) talking about “activist judges” and “forcing gay marriage on Iowa”. Then take a step back and think about 1967 and interracial marriage. You know, back [...]
Harassment by any other name…
Friday, June 19th, 2009Tweet 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 [...]
Attention GLBT Community: Are you still shopping at Wal-Mart?
Friday, May 1st, 2009Tweet My partner and I stopped shopping at Wal-Mart years ago. Remember when Sam Walton was alive, and every single Wal-Mart commercial was about “Proudly American” and aimed to display products “Proudly Made in Ameria”? Well of course all that died with Sam. His heirs greatly expanded the company and said “Screw you, America!” when [...]
Add Vermont to the list!
Tuesday, April 7th, 2009Tweet As promised, Vermont’s Republican Governor Jim Douglas vetoed civil marriage equality for all Vermont residents. But this morning, the Vermont House and Senate have both voted to override the veto. This means Vermont is the fourth state to guarantee equal protection to gays and lesbians. No longer are gays and lesbians second-class citizens in [...]
Make a donation, receive a threat
Tuesday, September 30th, 2008Tweet Wow… This is going beyond the pale when it comes to the right wing being nasty and threatening. Howard Rich is heading up an effort with “Americans for Limited Government” (a right wing group) is threatening anyone who makes donations to progressive organizations. Apparently he’s sending a letter out (and I hope to hell [...]
Why not ban the gays?
Tuesday, September 30th, 2008Tweet Oh this is something that I just about blew my top over… So the religious right isn’t happy enough that McCain is ignoring their calls to start yabbering about like George W. Bush did on Gay Marriage, so what do they do now? They equate smoking with being gay. Yeah, like it’s a bad [...]
With McCain down in the polls, what does the religious right say?
Thursday, September 25th, 2008Tweet To quote the homophobic “Focus on the Family” and those other organizations that deny reality: McCain urged to be more vocal on marriage amendments Can you believe that? The economy is in the toilet. We are going to have a bailout of $700,000,000,000 of public companies (like the $500,000,000,000 bailout of the Savings and [...]
