This shit has to STOP
Tuesday, July 24th, 2012Tweet It’s like there’s a gay bashing every other day in the United States. And it’s got to stop. People who say that gays aren’t like blacks when it comes to civil rights struggles are wrong. Because yesterday’s lynching of a black man for talking to a white woman is today’s beating of a woman [...]
In which I disagree about the fundamental differences of boycotting
Monday, July 23rd, 2012Tweet So one of the regular blogs that I read is JoeMyGod, which is a really good source for pretty much all things GLBT and equality related. This morning, Joe posted an excerpt from an opinion piece in The Atlantic by Jonathan Merritt, where Mr. Merritt discussed how we really should become level-headed in our [...]
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 [...]
A Sad Anniversary
Sunday, June 24th, 2012Tweet Turns out today, Sunday June 24th, 2012, is the 39th anniversary of the largest mass-murder of gay men in the history of the United States. Back on this day in 1973, someone firebombed the Upstairs Lounge in New Orleans that was holding church services for the Metropolitan Community Church – one of the only [...]
Can you imagine…
Thursday, May 24th, 2012Tweet So there’s a pastor in North Carolina that recently told his congregation that he favors taking gay people and putting them behind an electrified fence, where they’ll starve to death. ”Maybe” drop some food in once in a while – to the “lesbians” pen. This is a disgusting outrage. But where’s the outrage? His [...]
Homophobia seems to be making a comeback (image technically NSFW)
Monday, February 15th, 2010Tweet It seems that there is more and more homophobia, calls for violence, and all-out crappy treatment of the LGBT community that either being reported, or just becoming more fashionable to do. I’m not sure which one if is, but it’s disturbing, especially given that hate crimes against the LGBT community seem to be going [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
