How Do You Spell Hypocrite? GOP

Right Winger's "Morals Rule" Goes Down Hypocritical Toilet...



Do as I say and not as I do, DAMMIT!

Paul Stanley (R), a Tennessee State Senator, staunch foe against LGBT equality and pro abstinence supporter (he was against any support for Planned Parenthood because, "he did not believe in sex outside of the marriage") has resigned his seat after being caught (and blackmailed) with his filthy, hypocritical hands in the "bad morals" cookie jar.

In a typical GOP caught and damage control speech, he went on to say:

"
Whatever I stood for and advocated, I still believe to be true," he said during an interview Tuesday with Memphis radio station WREC-AM. "And just because I fell far short of what God's standard was for me and my wife, doesn't mean that that standard is reduced in the least bit."

Family Values, Hmmmmmmm...

Fighting To Deny Others - A Cost So Much More Than Rights And Money

Homelessness, Empty Stomachs, Troubled Youth, Hate And Oh Yes, Money…

© 2002, Rick Satterfield.

Have you ever wondered how the individuals of these so called, “organizations of compassion” claim to be so G-dly when much of their efforts and funds are spent hurting and denying others a basic right to life, liberty and protections of the one most important in their life, all the while, people right in their own “backyard” are starving, homeless and at risk youth?

How is it that in America, the religious zealots and right wing friends of hate/intolerance wield so much influence over “freedom loving American’s?”

With our community being in the “fight of it’s equality life,” It is time to wake up, demand to be heard and take back America, the US Constitution “guarantees it!”

Get involved with a local community center, state/national organization, your senators or elected officials and demand change for fairness and equality.

Remember: equality, nothing more, nothing less!

Guns, Gay Marriage And The GOP Hypocrites!

States Rights When It Comes To Gun Rights? Ha!

"Republican Party Elephant" logo

How interesting it is that the majority of Republicans (along with 20 Democrats) voted in favor of the Concealed Gun Law. A law, that if passed, would have stripped the state's rights to self rule that the majority of Republicans and right wing nut jobs had fought so hard to "protect" when it came to any "forced recognition" of out of state same-sex marriages not currently recognized or banned in their states.

Why would this not surprise me? Well, because the GOP motto clearly states:
"Do as I say, not as I do!"

Why aren't their "religious allies" standing against them when it comes to guns? silent they stand but, when it comes to protections for love, shout out in loud opposition from the highest pulpit!

“Stopping Same Sex Marriage Is A Battle We Can Win!” PMW

Stopping Fairness And Equality At Any Cost!

Bullshit

In a race against time, homophobic and deceptive Protect Marriage Washington has asked the Secretary Of State’s Office to extend their office hours into Saturday as to give more time to submit the 120, 577 signatures needed to place Referendum 71 on the November ballot in hopes of overturning the recent “Everything But Marriage Law.”

Protect Marriage Washington, in it’s website messages has stated:

Stopping same-sex marriage is a battle that we can win!

As Maggie Gallagher of the National Organization of Marriage recently told the press: "Three recent polls (Pew, Gallup and CBS News/NYT) confirm that a strong majority of Americans continue to oppose gay marriage, despite the recent push for gay marriage in Iowa and the northeast. Strong majorities of Republicans and independents oppose gay marriage according to the latest Pew poll. Even 41 percent of Democrats oppose gay marriage".

Also, Protect Marriage Washington is asking everyone to “pray that they succeed in collecting the signatures.”

Contact Protect Marriage Washington or you can call them at (360)631-1894, and tell these right wing nut jobs to do what is right and protect all families in Washington, DC but, if they are not interested, they need to stay out of our lives and business, they have their "protections and rights!"

Taxes, Taxes, Taxes But No Love, Love, Love...

Take Away Love, But Not The Car

White Plains Mayor Joseph Delfino exits his city-owned vehicle, a 2006 Buick Lucerne, at City Hall. Stuart Bayer/The Journal News

Plenty of high taxes and no love is something that constantly eats at me as I hear of stories like this around the country.

"City Of White Plains lays of workers, cuts services, raises taxes and increases the number of take home vehicles!"

Outgoing city Mayor Delfino (R) is seen exiting the city owned taxpayer funded 2006 Buick Lucerne (why not a lower priced, more economical vehicle?) as more and more people in the city complain of higher and higher taxes.

How is this America when we vote to deny protections and civil rights of 2 loving adults, but we can't or don't vote to stop runaway frivolous spending and more taxes? And they always thought it was the so called, "out of control, tax and spend liberals?!"

GOP - Conservative for the votes and love and liberal the other...

Amazing how hate and bigotry have more power than money (except when the churches and anti equality organizations are raising it)!

Right Wingers Battle Cry, “We Are Losing Freedom In America!”

Worries Of Freedom? Those F***’in Hypocrites!

As the GOP bitches on and on how the Democrats are
“destroying the very fabric of America, freedom,” we in the LGBT community continue the fight for that right to that so called loss they are referring to…

As the “forgetful” GOP needs to be reminded of the loss of freedoms under the tyrant Bush regime!

Wake up GOP! Freedom is here. As for your protection of sheltering the rich against their fair share of taxes, that is another story!

The Power Of The Picket Sends A Clear Message Against Supporters Of Hate

Homophobic Christians Air Their Lies “Silencing The Christians” During Gay Pride

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Those religious bigots just never cease to amaze me with their, “where the victim’s here and their trying to silence me” lies.

June 27th, Florida (the state of homophobia) television station WFLA, in it’s bad judgment, decided to air an hour long program that basically did nothing more than attack the LGBT community.

Silencing the Christians uh? For a country built on the principals of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and the separation of church state, it looks like the religious zealots hold the cards of silencing as they put forth so much effort trying to restrict and tear apart loving and committed families.

Hypocrites airing such a program about “silencing them” when the story out of a Connecticut, “Diocese asks US Supreme Court to block the release of abuse records.” Silence is golden uh?

Our community seeks equality, not the heinous acts the church is working so hard to keep secret…

Send a message to the supporters of homophobia that standing up against intolerance is more valuable than the oh’ mighty dollar! – WFLA SITE or call (813)259-8010

Homophobic Chico’s Tacos Update

“Inappropriate Behavior Was Reason For Action”

Chico’s Taco owner has made a recent statement saying, “nobody cared about the kiss. Rather, the men were unruly.”

He also went on to say that there was some inappropriate dancing but one of the witnesses had come out saying that they did nothing inappropriate “accept” showing some affection…

The best “defense” the police officers could use was the threat of “homosexual conduct,” a law that was ruled unconstitutional in 2003 by the United State Supreme Court…

Shame On You Chico’s Taco And To Those Officer’s Who Swore To Serve And Protect!

Intolerance and bigotry has no place with those who serve the public, especially those being paid by the taxpayers…

Contact and continue the boycott of Chico's Tacos (915)849-8777 and tell them they must change their business practices!

Stonewall 40, How Have You Commemorated?

Another Voice In The Strength Of Many

Remembering Stonewall: 40 Years Later

As someone a bit to young to remember the days when our community rose up against the harassment of the police and said enough is enough, from the unidentified woman who sparked the crowd to fight, to the next day of the “limp wrist and Sunday Fag Follies” comment from the local paper, which caused another riot on Christopher Street with threats of burning down the building!

My contributions to Stonewall 40 (as well as “Stonewall”) have been out proud marching in 2 Pride Marches (Yes, marches and not parades as they commonly referred to), the numerous involvements in calls, letter writings and my devotion to LGBT CAT.

May Stonewall 40 be a reminder to us about how far we have come, and yet how far we still must go…

“Thank you,” to those who stood up for me and may I as well as you continue the fight until we are equal!

That Kiss Will Cost You!

I Forbid You From Doing That Disgusting Thing Here!

Salt Lake City Temple - Walden Barney

Salt Lake City, Utah - A simple sign of affection from an adult couple causes outrage at the Mormon Church, causing immediate action and a call to the police!

Since the offending kiss took place on the plaza which is owned by the bigots of the Mormon Church, the men were detained and handcuffed for "inappropriate behavior," and later cited by police for "trespassing."

This abusive power by the Mormon Church is outrageous and is unacceptable!

Send a message to these so called "nice and welcoming people" that hate and intolerance are not the words of the Lord!

That Faggot Stuff Is Not Allowed In Here!

Get Out You Faggots!



El Paso Texas Eatery, Chico's Tacos has sent a loud and clear message to our community, "we don't want your kind in here!"

On June 29th, a group of 5 gay men walked into Chico's Tacos with 2 of the men exchanging a brief kiss while placing their order. After the men sat down with their order, Chico's Tacos guards ordered the men to leave because of their "faggot behavior."

This shameful behavior is the reason that laws must change in this land of America.

Enough of the extreme and bigoted right spreading their messages of hate into the hearts and minds, because this is what their handiwork has done.

Contact (and boycott) Chico's Tacos (915)849-8777 and tell them they must change their business practices beginning with the firing of their homophobic security guards.

Pennsylvania Gay Marriage, "A Train Wreck Waiting To Happen!"

"Because It Would Deny Children Their Rights"



"Traditional values" organization, Redeem The Vote's president, Pastor Bill Devlin has come out against SB 935 (marriage equality bill) in a debate with Senator Daylin Leach (D) saying, "expanding marriage equality to same sex couples is a train wreck waiting to happen as it would deny children their rights to a mother & father."

Pastor nut job, how would this deny children their rights to their parents????

Send the good ol' Pastor a message telling him that he needs to spread the word of love and tolerance, because hate and bigotry have no business in laws that hurt others.

Maine's Marriage Equality Law Halted, 55,000 Signatures Reached

Maine Non Equality Lovers And Gay Haters Rejoice!



With the bigots at Stand For Maine Marriage Coalition and the backing of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland, success in signature gathering has brought the new law of marriage equality scheduled to have gone into effect September 12th, to a grinding halt.


Once the signatures are verified, off to the ballot box!

Yet another majority of the people's have gathered to once again remove the right's from a minority group of Americans.

It still amazes me how the First Amendment is continuously trampled over in the name of "faith" as stated by Rev Bob Emrich who went on to say;
"
State voters have repeatedly defined marriage as between a man and a woman when given the opportunity, with the latest vote in California, said Emrich, founder of Maine Jeremiah Project, which aims to get people of faith involved in setting public policy.."

All in the name of "protecting" marriage. Protecting marriage from what, whom? Isn't marriage a bond between 2 loving adults?

Seems like these heterosexual hypocrites haven't done such a great job of "protecting" marriage all these years with the countless divorces, convenience marriages, flings, murders, etc.

Stand up against hate, contact these groups and let them know you stand for equality and the First Amendment:

"I Can See Russia From My Home" Palin, Gone, Or Is She?

"Hockey Mom" Hypocrite Says Goodbye To Governorship

FILE - In this Oct. 26, 2008 file photo, Republican vice presidential candidate

In a strange and bold move, Governor Sarah Palin (R) has not only stated she will not seek another term but has also resigned effective July 25th with Lt. Governor Sean Parnell being sworn in as the next Alaskan Governor.

Alaskan citizens rejoice!

Some speculate that she is focusing on bigger and better things like a possible run for the White House in 2012 as well as more cash since being the top dog in Alaska just doesn't cut it I guess.

The best thing this hypocrite can do is disappear from the political stage and go back to all the wonderful things she holds dear to her heart like reading all the national newspapers, keeping an eye on Russia from her home, making friends in the public safety sector, being a hockey mom, being a friend to the gay community and affecting positive change from the outside.

Positive change? Sarah, I think you need to look deep inside before you can bring about "positive change" to the masses.

I say "good riddance!" But, unfortunately we have not heard the last of you I am sure...

W. VA's Issue Of Importance, "Create A Constitutional Amendment Against Marriage Equality!"

Of Importance - Economic Hard Times, Job Losses, Pink Bridges, Nope!

State seal of West Virginia

It's the issue of that twisted and perverted thing called "same sex marriage," you idiot!

In yet another reminder of how West Virginia has it's political house in order, state lawmakers have began studying the proposal of a Constitutional Amendment banning marriage equality.

West Virginia already has a law on the books restricting marriage to those privileged heterosexuals, but Lawmakers are concerned it could be overturned by those with an agenda of equality...

These are the people who are voted in to take care of the people's business uh? It is amazing that they spend so much time working on hate instead of protecting all citizens and families of West Virginia and doing more for the economy, jobs, housing, etc.

Can you guess the party mostly behind this one?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....

Contact state Legislators and tell them to fight against such an Amendment of hate and to instead stand for equality for all West Virginia families!

Wack Job Anti LGBT State Rep. Sally Kern Launches "Moralities" Campaign

Grandma Potty Mouth Once Again Spewing Her Garbage

Sally Kern

In her fight to keep Oklahoma safe from that "twisted and perverted gay agenda," State Legislator Sally Kern (Repugnican), has once again come out against the LGBT community in her attempts to create a morality proclamation saying:

"This nation has become a world leader in promoting abortion, pornography, same-sex marriage, sex trafficking, divorce, illegitimate births, child abuse and many other forms of debauchery."

The Proclamation declares the federal government "is forsaking the rich Christian heritage upon which this nation was built."

Has this nut job ever heard of the First Amendment:

"Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. "

Someone should give her a copy of the U.S. Bill Of Rights...

Go West/North And Marry, Then Return Home To Be An Equal (Well Almost).

You Are Equal, But...

For us to consider you that, in marriage equality, you will have to temporarily pick up from where you call home, work, pay taxes and whatever else you do and head West Or North to say "I do," and only until then will you be legally recognized by us (but not YOUR federal government) when you return.

The new law which was approved by a 12 - 1 vote by the DC Council in May, went into effect Tuesday "allowing" DC the ability to legally recognize marriages performed out of the district.

What a way to compromise on our rights!?!?

Just the other day, July 4th to be exact, I was reminded of all the wonderful "freedoms" and "rights" we as American's enjoy in a place where you can still be fired from your job, released from military service, beat up, denied housing, denied the right of a marriage license, denied the right to adopt, laughed at just for the simple fact of being who you are...

"A House Divided Against Itself Cannot Stand!" A.L.

A Party Of many One...



This morning, I received a note from a new friend. It was rather a sad and disturbing message regarding our community as a whole.

During a Pride festival, my friend mentioned he was handing out some trinkets and goodies (who doesn't like getting free stuff at Pride!?) to spread some cheer as well as to help promote his business. Anyway, he had mentioned that some people in our community were hostile towards him because he is an older gay man and that the stuff he was offering was of no value. Of no value?

Also my recent day at Pride brought my queer friend a few not so pleasant stares from our community
. Yes, our community.

It bothers me to see that amongst a community of many, and who has been through so much turmoil, hatred and violence, we don't do more to embrace and strengthen as a party of one. Yes, you have your various groups from gender queer, transgender, lesbians, lesbians of color, older lesbians, bears, gays of color, older gays, younger gays, bisexuals, queer youth, men born men, womyn born womyn and so.

Yet, aren't we all fighting for the same common cause(s)?!

Equality, marriage, non discrimination, tolerance, etc.


Enough is enough already. Instead of all the divisions between our groups, remember that we are all on the same "team" and that if we continue to divide, we will never move forward for if one group loses out, we all lose, plain and simple!

Spend more time loving and less time judging and dividing for those jobs are already taken by the hateful conservative zealots and right wing.

Let's celebrate Stonewall 40 together!
