Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

One Step Forward, Two Giant Leaps Back

Openly gay? Ain't no way! - Once again, our openly gay brothers and sisters in uniform (and potential ones) have been tossed back under the Obama bus as the 9th Circuit Court Of Appeals has granted a temporary stay of Judge Phillips recent ruling striking down DADT as unconstitutional.

For the brief time DADT was not in force, the military's business of policing the world went on as usual with no apparent signs of collapse or breakdown of unit cohesion.

Now that you have accomplished to once again take away the right to serve honestly and openly Mr. President, can you say America is "once again" safer?

Change we can believe in, right?

Shame on you sir.

Standing up (ok, sitting down) for our rights!

Out With Honor

Uncle Sam Want's You Too!

Truly a military of one - 10/19/2010, Pentagon issues orders to all recruiters to accept openly gay recruits & to halt all discharges in response to a recent ruling by U.S. District Judge Virginia Phillips striking down the 1993 law known as DADT as unconstitutional.

What does the future hold in sending this discriminative & destructive law into the history books as something of a distant memory?

What is know is that although the future of LGBT service members is not completely known yet, we can still celebrate a just victory!

Keep up the fight!

To all those serving, gay or straight, I say "thank you for serving to defend our liberties."

But, It's The Law...

Defending DOMA...

 

Flip Flopper - Tuesday, October 12th, the White House files a notice of appeal with the U.S. District Court in Massachusetts in support of the 1996 Defense Of Marriage Act.

"As a policy matter, the President has made clear he believes DOMA is discriminative and should be repealed," said Justice Department spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler. The Justice Department is defending the statue, as it traditionally does when acts of Congress are challenged."

Once again, as your president, I've decided to make the decision to stand up against you who believed in and supported me & for whom I've promised change and fairness. In doing so, I will remain a coward and defend the discriminative and hateful act known as DOMA.

So much for taking a stand against this statue of injustice, unlike the brave actions of California's republican Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger & Attorney General Jerry Brown (who's sworn to defend the laws of the state even though they are discriminative)!

And you thought the Democrats where our friends?

Standing up (ok, sitting down) for our rights!

Discharge No More!

Federal Judge: "Stop Enforcing DADT!"

 

Once again, the courts have spoken up for justice when the cowards of State/Washington won't. This time, through the orders of U.S. District Judge Virginia Phillips.

As our military continues to be overtaxed, the discharging of qualified and highly skilled soldiers continues for nothing more than the "crime" of who they love.

More than ever and as a constant reminder of the violent and deadly month between gay bashing's and teen suicides, our community must keep up the pressure along with our allies and those who say no more. Stop the hate!

When will being gay no longer be "illegal" outright in this land of the free?

Stonewalled

A Brazen Act Of Hatred

 

The famed Stonewall Inn In New York City was once again the target of hate (the second attack against our community in NYC in less than a week). This time, from inside the walls of the well known gay bar and "Ground Zero" of the gay rights movement as we know it.

The power of hate knows no boundaries as the 2 brazen homophobic punks Mathew Francis & Christoper Orlando proved.

May this be a wake up call to those who seek out and prey on the gay community. We will fight back and remain silent no more!
