‘D List’ star Kathy Griffin to rally Thursday in Washington for end to ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’

  • Gay South Florida
A message from Kathy Griffin: Calling all DC gays and ALL good citizens who support EQUALITY!!! After traveling to Iraq and Afghanistan to perform for the troops and visiting with injured vets and their families at Walter Reed, I've gotten to meet and know many gay members of our brave military. Their stories are heartbreaking, touching, and need to be heard. They cannot stand up for themselves, so it's time we stand up for them and be their voice. They put their lives on the line for us every day, all the while risking getting fired, discharged, losing all their benefits and maybe ...

Repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell: The Time Has Come

Submitted by NewsSystem on Tue, 03/16/2010 - 14:34
  • Change.org Gay Rights Blog
General David Petraeus is generally revered in military circles. The GOP itself sought to make Petraeus a legend, with the Bush administration allegedly recognizing that while the White House's opinions on Iraq had no credibility with Americans whatsoever by 2008, Petraeus could ask for anything he wanted and be seen as a hero. The Weekly Standard has praised Petraeus. John McCain has praised Petraeus. The New York Sun has urged Petraeus to run for the Republican Presidential nomination in 2012. So how does Gen. Petraeus feel about "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"? Well, he may not be as far along ...

Michele Bachmann will either love or hate the queered census

Submitted by NewsSystem on Tue, 03/16/2010 - 13:56
  • Colorado Independent
The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force is aiming to “queer the census” by handing out stickers Americans can paste onto the outside of their census envelopes to indicate their sex preference and gender identity. “We’re here. We’re queer and we want to be counted” goes the campaign slogan. For Christian conservative Minnesota U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann, who is both a census hater and a gay basher, this is a clear message from either god or the devil. Mindy Barton, legal director for the GLBT Community Center of Colorado, told the Public News Service that there’s no sex preference and ...

Alaska State Senate to Consider Hate Crimes Measure

Submitted by NewsSystem on Tue, 03/16/2010 - 13:45
  • HRC Back Story
Tomorrow, the Alaska Senate Judiciary Committee will be holding its second hearing on the Alaska Hate Crimes Bill (SB 202). Since the passage of the federal Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr Hate Crimes Prevention Act, some confusion has arisen over the role of state hate crimes legislation. The federal act [pdf], in short, permits the federal government to investigate bias motivated violent crimes, prosecute those hate crimes that have a federal nexus, provide resources to local law enforcement and collect data on hate crimes.  In order to have a federal nexus, the crime must relate to a ...

Candi – not only is the ACLU playing the bully, as you describe, but they also seem to have found a new constitutional right in the process – the right to have a prom. Or more accurately, the right to have a prom if it’s necessary to force societal acceptance of homosexuality on an unwilling public. In its court complaint, the ACLU asks for several things, including:An order preliminarily and then permanently enjoining Defendants (the school and its officials) …from canceling the prom, originally scheduled for April 2, 2010.I’ll let others opine about the constitutional issues related to ...

Over forty-five years ago I was on the lecture circuit with Frank L. Kluckhohn. He had just finished writing a book entitled "The Naked Rise of Communism" (1962). Frank was an extraordinary gentleman whose career included being a correspondent for The New York Times, an advisor to the Secretary of Defense in the Truman administration (1948), and holding a position in John Foster Dulles’ State Department during the Eisenhower years. This is background material to an important point I want to make about our current policies regarding gays in the military. One of Frank’s responsibilities in ...

NY Times on NJ Marriage Equality

Submitted by GayNewsService.com on Fri, 11/27/2009 - 17:46

RingsDoing the right thing — promptly enacting legislation discarding inadequate civil unions in favor of full marriage equality for same-sex couples — requires no gargantuan amount of courage or risk-taking on the part of rank-and-file New Jersey legislators or their leaders. … The chance that approving marriage equality would provoke a mass voter revolt seems remote.

C Street "Family" Linked to Ugandan Oppression of Gays

YWAM is a global Christian evangelical organization founded in 1960 which, declares YWAM, is "currently operating in more than 1000 locations in over 149 countries, with a staff of nearly 16,000."

Archbishop Wuerl Continues His Shakedown [Video]

Submitted by David Hart on Thu, 11/26/2009 - 00:36

Archbishop WuerlThere has to come a point when Wuerl (the Archbishop of Washington) realizes that he keeps contradicting himself. It wasn't terribly bright to threaten the DC City Council to begin with. Now, about all that he is accomplishing is to make himself even more irrelevant as he tries, in vain, to kill marriage equality or, in the alternative, to get the Council to sanction the church's employment discrimination.

Liberty Counsel Can Kiss My Ass

Submitted by David Hart on Thu, 11/26/2009 - 00:15

Adam LambertIt seems that the prudes as Liberty Counsel have filed a complaint with the FCC (PDF) against ABC over the performance of Adam Lambert. In their letter, signed by Anita Staver, they use the word "homosexual" four times. The implication is that gay sexual innuendo is sufficient to warrant a complaint. Actually, the basis of the complaint is the gay suggestiveness of the act.

In point of fact, Lambert did nothing more erotic than countless performers – male and female – have done with their dancers and musicians of the opposite sex. Nevertheless, the holier-than-thou schmucks [Read more ...]
