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 they [...]
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 [...]
Harassment by any other name…

Attention GLBT Community: Are you still shopping at Wal-Mart?
Friday, May 1st, 2009My 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 they [...]
Religious Fundies, you’re classy with a K!
Tuesday, April 14th, 2009Which of course would be klassy! And what brings this on? Well you all know how the Iowa Supreme Court found that “separate but equal” is unjust, and ruled that gays and lesbians deserve the same rights as their heterosexual counterparts?
