ExxonMobil hates the gays
Thursday, May 23rd, 2013Tweet Like this is news to anyone in the GLBT community. Ever since their merger, ExxonMobil has been no friend of the GLBT community, and probably never will. At least not until the current generation of management is ousted. But I’m specifically talking about ExxonMobil discriminating against applicants that are GLBT in hiring practices. A [...]
An Open Letter to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas
Tuesday, April 2nd, 2013Tweet Justice Thomas, I know that you are not a man that finds himself on the liberal or progressive side of arguments. And I know that you sit on the one of the most important courts in America. But I’m asking you to stand up for your fellow citizens just this once; your LGBT brethren. [...]
Two Complimentary LGBT Equality Organizations
Tuesday, July 10th, 2012Tweet In the past few days, there’s been a push for two new LGBT equality charities, one of which comes from a company you know, and the other I’ve found only because I read other blogs (thanks, GoodAsYou.com!). And both of these deserve people’s attention, respect, and money. The first one came about a few [...]
Marriage equality: Good for public health!
Tuesday, June 26th, 2012Tweet You know all those people who yell and scream at gay people for wanting the same rights and responsibilities as their straight counterparts? You know – the haters at NOM and FRC and such. They keep warning that, besides the sky falling, that gay people achieving equality will be a detriment to society. Actually [...]
So a Republican finally admits it
Monday, June 25th, 2012Tweet All along, people “in the know” have known that the only reason Republicans push for identification to vote – putting up the laws that require showing some sort of picture ID in order to cast a ballot – have been to suppress Democratic turnout. Why? Because it’s just simple. The people most apt to [...]
This Is What Religious Law Looks Like
Thursday, May 17th, 2012Tweet This picture is savagely disgusting, but it proves a point. The point? This is what happens when you pass laws codifying religion – one specific group of people pushing to have laws passed based on their religion. In the above case, it’s Islamic law. But how is this different than groups like National Organization [...]
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. [...]
Obama is losing support from the GLBT community
Friday, June 12th, 2009Tweet 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 [...]
