Unconstitutional

Proposition 8 Dead!

San Francisco - In a highly emotional & observed case with potential widespread implications around the country, California's Proposition 8 (the law that had denied lesbian & gay couples the right to marry) was today struck down as unconstitutional.

In striking down Proposition 8, U.S. District Chief Judge Vaughn R. Walker said: "Proposition 8, passed by voters in November of 08', violated the federal constitutional rights of gays and lesbians to marry the partner of their choice."

Prior to the ruling, Proposition 8 supporters filed a motion to stay effecting the outcome of the decision. Was it possible they knew Proposition 8 was doomed?

An appeal is certain.

Today is a new day in America. A day of celebration and one of renewal!

Not Your Best Buy

Destructive Buying

Richfield, Minnesota - In yet another discovery of a large corporation supporting hate and bigotry, it has recently been learned, electronics/appliance giant Best Buy has been spending in excess of over $100,000 to look out for it's "business interest" by supporting anti-LGBT political candidate Tom Emmer, the same homophobic candidate supported by Target.

We in the LGBT community and those that believe in, and support equality need to do our part by looking out for and supporting "our business interest."

Email Best Buy CEO Brian Dunn or call (612)291-6114 and tell him to do what's right by contributing equally to the funding of pro-LGBT candidates if he feels he must support someone of anti-LGBT to get ahead business wise. It's not just a right business practice, it's the right thing to do...

"Dangers" Of Equality

Refusing To Be Intimidated

Memphis Tennessee - In a recent attempt to ban LGBT discrimination, Councilwoman Janis Fullilo' has received everything from a slaughtered cat placed on the lawn of her home to death threats.

Why would someone be subject to such harsh extremism you ask? The answer is plain and simple, pure hate...

Councilwoman's Fullilo's stand for what's right and working to ban discrimination against LGBT folks in city government is something that should be rewarded with applause, not threats of death.

Contact Councilwoman Janis Fullilo and thank her for being brave in standing up against the bullies of hate. Tell you support her in her vision of ending discrimination and that you encourage her to continue her fight against intolerance and bigotry.

Targeted For Supporting Inequality

Take Aim Where You Spend Your Pink Dollars

American retail store Target, known for it's support for diversity of minority groups including women and the LGBT community also surprisingly support the very same cause they claim to be standing against, inequality and intolerance.

Recently, information was revealed that Target made a generous donation of $150,000 to anti-LGBT Minnesota ultra conservative Tom Emmer's campaign for Governor.

According to Their website, "Target contributes to political candidates, caucuses and causes in a non-partisan manner based strictly on issues that directly affect our retail and business interests.”

Well, it's time now for us to "affect our retail and business interests" by considering where to spend your pink dollars. As for myself, Target is no longer in my sight of places to shop...

Contact Target CEO Greg Steinhafel and tell him what you think of their business interests!

Death To Gay Couples

Sign Of Extreme Hate

Anti-LGBT organization, National Organization for Marriage has a new message to the masses regarding their views on marriage equality: "death to all gay couples!"

Extremist hate, plain and simple.

Bizarre how someone like Maggie Gallagher, the head of an organization that preaches love and family can condone such hate filled messages.

Maggie, you stand for families? Are you concerned that children of the families you spew your anti-love messages to might see it?

Contact National Organization For Marriage and voice your outrage/anger!

NOM's Big Indiana Failure

Drowning Out The Voice Of Hate & Bigotry

Indianapolis, Indiana - As the anti-gay National Organization for Marriage continues it's bigoted filled trek across America, an ever increasing number of counter protesters gather in tow.

Heard over the voice of NOM's president Maggie Gallagher are the loud and clear chants of the rainbow masses, "what do we want? marriage equality, when do we want it, now!"

Wherever the lies, the deception and bigotry of groups like NOM go, remember to stand up & join the ever increasing voices to counter with messages of tolerance, equality and love.

Stand against this kind of bullshit by getting involved, it's your future!

"You Can Do It, We Can Help" With Pride!

Building A Great Relationship Together

In it's latest attempt at spreading lies and deception, anti-LGBT right wing group, American Family Association (AFA) has come out calling for a boycott against the home improvement store giant Home Depot for it's support of equality.

AFA on Home Depot: “Apparently their definition of inclusion involves exposing young children to displays of sexually explicit conduct and helping children find websites that tell them how to have homosexual sex.”

AFA goes on to say: “[I]t’s no longer ‘The Home Depot,’ it’s ‘The Homosexual Depot."

I say, "thank you Home Depot" for standing up against the bigots and hatred of groups like AFA.

Together, we can build great things together, including relationships based on love and commitment.

White House/Pentagon In Full Support Of 2010 DADT Repeal



Doing What's Right For The Right Reasons.

May 24th - This evening, in a bold move of leadership, the White House and Pentagon have come out in full support of ending DADT by the end of this year.

The promise to repeal the military's discriminative act against gay service members from serving openly was one of President Obama's many campaign promises to our community in the fight for equality.

Let us hope this is a beginning to the end of many discriminative practices against the LGBT community because the time for bigotry and hate must end.

Mr. President, the time to do what's right is long overdue. I commend you for finally growing a spine and taking a stand (the threat of the 2010 mid term elections doesn't hurt)...

Do As I Say, Not As I Do...

Anti-gay and abstinence only Congressman Mark Souter (R) of Indiana, who's recent extra marital stint with a female aide has once again reminded us of the lip service and hypocrisy the Republican party so much shovels out...

Quoting from his official website: "I believe that Congress must fight to uphold the traditional values that under-gird the strength of our nation,"

Thanks for "protecting" traditional families Congressman Souter!

Effective immediately, Souter will resign...

Caught With Hands In The Hypocritical Cookie Jar...

"With Love, You Can Be Helped"

George Rekers, prominent anti-gay activist & co-founder of the conservative Family Research Council has been caught with his hands in the hypocritical cookie jar during a return from a recent European trip.

Rekers, who had recently undergone surgery claimed the "rent a boy" was only to help him lift and carry his luggage.

Wondering just how heavy that luggage was and what else the "rent a boy" had to lift...

Dr. Rekers, I would think you would have access to at least 1 mirror but in case you don't, you can borrow one of mine...

Stand up against discrimination and hate, continue to make the voice of the LGBT community louder and stronger against closeted scumbags like Rekers!

If Elected, I Promise To Deny Gays Of Any Equality!

Count On Me To Fight Against Our Most Important Issue, LGBT Equality!

Illinois governor hopeful Bill Brady (R) on his agenda if elected: "Prohibiting any Marriage Equality or Civil Unions" by including them in a package of ideas that the voters would sure stand up for such as taxes, legislative term limits and a redistricting process.

Forget about things like the economy, jobs, crime, mortgage crisis etc!

What is it these so called politicians for "giving government to the people" are so scared of? Does the LGBT community really scare them so much? Is it we are outspent in funding/filling their coffers by the religious right? Could it be their backwards thinking/belief we will rub off on them, their family and friends or their insecurities of coming out themselves?

Hey, Bill Brady's of the world, remember: "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness" and "All (wo)Men Are Created Equal"
