I am torn about whether or not to watch the Gay Debate on Logo or not. However, on the plus side, it might actually be the only time that these candidates actually face some really hard questions, about their stand, or lack of, on civil rights. Frankly I am skeptical that the questions will be [...]
So LOGO is going to air a debate among Presidential Candidates, on August 9th at 9pm. Now not sure if that is PST or EST as they also list 6pm, but both are shown as EST. Figures doens’t it?
The one-hour event will be held on August 9 and broadcast on gay network LOGO at 9:00 [...]
President Bush is indeed pushing his legacy, one that will haunt America for decades to come I think. To begin with, the new Supreme Court is clearly stepping backwards, towards the days prior to the Civil Rights movement of the 1960’s. Recent Court decisions clearly show that it is leaning towards money, rather than justice. [...]
It should be disquieting to many, that a suicide prevention and help line, aiding GLBT youth from taking their own lives, is feeling the need to expand its operation. While it should expand, given the need for it, it is a sad commentary on today’s society that it needs to.
The Trevor Project ( 866-4-U-TREVOR ) [...]
There are two legal challenges regarding the controversial ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell‘ policy of the US Military. The one that current Chairman of the Joint Chiefs absolutely supports, claiming it is immoral for Gays to be allowed to serve openly in the military. Course, it is not immoral, if they serve but lie as to [...]
Didn’t we hear this argument in Alaska (see comment ‘Keeping Gays In the Cold in Alaska‘) and Kentucky?
I would like to know how anyone can believe that a ban against same sex marriage can somehow make granting health care benefits to civil partners illegal?
Seems to me that this is clearly one more reason WHY we [...]
Howard Dean stood with the two openly gay legislatures, proclaiming this Gay Pride month and heaping praise on the contributions the GLBT community has made. Hilary Clinton also released a press notice, mostly slamming Bush and we are all supposed to rush to the polls come Nov 2008 and vote Democrat, because gee, Howard Dean [...]
Over in Tennessee, a student is suspended for taking part in the Day of Silence protest, a national protest where Gay Students & Supporters, remain silent to protest the conditions of bullying and hate in many public schools. (see Day of Silence website)
(Jonesborough, Tennessee) A high school principal who suspended a student for participating in [...]
We all have the lawyer joke or something similar, but you know, it is refreshing when a Justice actually does hold themselves to a standard of conduct. Too many these days toss their morality and ethics aside the second they gain any power, whether it is a politician or a Judge or whatever.
So when a [...]
I think everyone knows about the recent flap with Don Imus and his racist remarks about the Rutgers Woman’s Basketball team. It is a media frenzy these days, and the shock jock got a two week suspension by CBS Radio. What I find sad and perplexing is the uproar itself over Don Imus. I see [...]
I wonder, will the fact that all HIV+ patients will have their names recorded, in all 50 states have any effect on those who have yet not been tested? Will such a move, an invasion of privacy, increase or decrease the health of those at risk?
My money is on it having a negative effect.
What is [...]
The debate about same sex marriage, calling it Civil Union or Civil Partnership continues, but while some are willing to settle for second best, the fact is that the real agenda of the Religious Right isn’t about granting any civil rights to Homosexuals. Just look at Kansas where the Republicans are attempting to prevent local [...]
When you are a role model, and a well known public figure, does your personal views matter? Should you publicly proclaim your brand of morality, of ethics, or should you avoid the issue entirely? It is interesting, because it is something that faced Coach Dungy of the Super Bowl Champs, the Indy Colts. (see [...]
It is nice to see a victory now and then in the war against Hatred. I mean there is so much anger out there, and it seems mostly directed at Gays. I don’t get it, never have, but I suppose man enjoys having a scapegoat. Perhaps it is simply that we are unwilling to shoulder [...]
