- All you couples better get to D.C. Want to make your mate
an honest woman (or man) and be part of marriage equality
history? Then grab a marriage ring and get to Washington, D.C. On
March 20 up to 400 couples will be exchanging vows and tying the knot. If you
participate, let us know. We’ll put up your pictures.
- Is it wrong to want smart bigots? Enough has been said
about “Beverly Hills” beauty queen Lauren
Ashley, but if she must quote Leviticus it’s a good idea to know
chapter and verse. Especially when talking to a reporter (loves her look of
befuddlement when asked if gays are okay if they accept Christ). Can’t shake the
feeling Miss Thing is trolling for attention.
- What will he do now? Remember a few months back when the
White House did its best to get rid of New York Gov.
David Paterson? Bet you 50 bucks the disgraced governor wishes Team
Obama tried harder to get him an ambassadorship. Paterson might be lousy at his
gig, but he is top notch when it comes to marriage stuff. Don’t expect the same
from the next governor.
- If Lincoln wanted to free blacks, he should have left slavery alone
and outlawed abortion. Dear Republicans: maybe it’s time to give up any
dreams of outreach to black folk. As a group you are tone deaf when it comes to
race matters. Exhibit A: Rep. Trent Franks, an Arizona Republican, opined blacks are worse
off today as compared to slavery times. The reason? Legal abortion. “And yet
today, half of all black children are aborted. Half of all black
children are aborted. Far more black children, far more of the African-American
community is being devastated by the policies of today, than were being
devastated by the policies of slavery.” Wacky has left the building.
- Stop asking McCain about Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. The Arizona
senator prefers intellectual pretzels instead of allowing gay
and lesbian soldiers to serve openly. He says he will only support
lifting the ban if a comprehensive study says so. Does he mean something like
the one done by Air
Force Colonel Om Prakash?
- Saying no. Hundreds marched in Austin in support of two gay men who were attacked, last week, in an apparent hate
crime.
- Chile.
Hopefully our Chilean readers are safe and sound. If there is anything we can
do, please ask. Let’s keep our wallets open people. Doctors Without Borders is a good organization to give at times like this.
- HRC head says DADT is going down this year. I’ve taken a
few shots for suggesting Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell is on its last legs, but Joe Solmonese is
making a bolder prediction. He promised, at this weekend’s HRC
Carolinas Gala, the policy will be kaput by the end of the year.
Does he know something we don’t? Has he gotten a promise from the White
House?
- We are asking. Remember when Maggie
Gallagher said there were out gay people working for the National
Organization of Marriage? We put in an email to NOM requesting an interview
with these folk. Haven’t heard anything yet, but we’ll let you know if we
do.
- Canadian
hockey gold. Congrats to our northern neighbors for their hockey
wins (men and women). Well played ladies and gentlemen. Well played.
- Just because. Who doesn’t need a little beefcake to
start the week? I hear Jesus
Luz is dating a famous singer from the 80s. I thought Sade was
married.
