Wednesday, July 11th, 2012Tweet The awesome blog Towleroad put together a great post about the American Psychological Association, the American Medical Association, as well as other organizations, and the amicus brief that was filed in the case against DoMA, the egregious “Defense of Marriage Act” passed by the Congress and signed into law by Bill Clinton on the [...]
Some good news about marriage equality
Wednesday, July 11th, 2012Tweet Here’s a good roundup of the three good pieces of news for marriage equality. First of all, Washington United for Marriage, the group that’s fighting to keep marriage equality on the books, raised more than seven times as much as the anti-gay pro-discrimination group Preserve Marriage Washington. In June 2012, they raised $952,000 while [...]
Minnesota anti-equality group to gays: You should be put to death
Wednesday, June 27th, 2012Tweet Something really interesting happened over at the Minnesota for Marriage Facebook page yesterday. Someone posted a verse from the Christian bible chapter “Leviticus” that calls on gays to be put to death. And the outcome? Their supporters loved it. There were 30 likes by the time a screenshot was captured, and over 50 as I write [...]
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 [...]
Why the public should never be allowed to vote on civil rights
Monday, July 12th, 2010Tweet You would think in this day and age, that people would understand our past. As the saying goes, those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Quick note about ads
Thursday, April 29th, 2010Tweet After 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 [...]
Why marriage is important – gay and straight: A story of elder abuse
Monday, April 19th, 2010Tweet Reposted 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 [...]
No footnotes, no asterisks
Saturday, October 17th, 2009Tweet You know, when you read the Declaration of Independence put forth by the Founding Fathers, you have to notice one fact. There are no footnotes or asterisks that direct the reader to some subsection saying that “well, we didn’t mean it applies to this group or that”. The most famous line is, of course, [...]
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 [...]
First they came for the gays…
Monday, July 20th, 2009Tweet This weekend, as I was working in my yard and came upon an idea. And low and behold, it came into being. What was it? You see, I was thinking that those that support the civil rights of GLBT Americans need to get those haters that fight against gay marriage to come out against [...]
