A year of civil disobedience for GLBT rights
Thursday, June 18th, 2009People are up in arms over the big DOMA flap, and rightly so. Yes, there are the apologists, but it really appears that we have numbers on our side; the side that says the President and his DOJ is wrong for citing incest and child marriage in trying to fight against gay marriage.
Many people are [...]
What can we do to shut you up?
Monday, June 15th, 2009That’s basically the question that I read into a post over at AmericaBlog.com. Specifically, John Aravosis wrote:
Joe and I got an email the other day from a well-connected gay friend, and he said he was hearing rumors that the Obama administration, in an effort to woo back the gays, was thinking of possibly announcing the [...]
The GLBT community starts to respond to Obama on DOMA
Monday, June 15th, 2009First of all, I know that I don’t speak for the entire GLBT community. And neither do the guys over at Towleroad.com or AmericaBlog.com. But there is a movement afoot, and I hope that it continues to grow. The Obama DOJ, and Obama himself, need to be held responsible for the hateful DOMA defense brief [...]
Obama is losing support from the GLBT community
Friday, June 12th, 2009So 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 by President [...]
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 [...]
Public revolts, Amazon repents
Monday, April 13th, 2009After the giant outburst this weekend over Amazon’s arbitrary removal of GLBTQ materials from the sales ranking with the reasoning that they were “adult” oriented, the retail giant repented. They said it was a “glitch”, even though they knew and were TELLING people as of February 2009 that they were doing it. WTF people?
So, if [...]
(One image NSFW) Just when it was time to start trusting Amazon again
Sunday, April 12th, 2009I have to admit it. Amazon.com has gotten “sexy”. They have the new Kindle, and have even gotten me to come back as a customer after five years. They did some things a few years back that really ticked me off, and I left them for BUY.com and other places.
But today, I think I’m ready [...]
