		<description><![CDATA[Gay families attended the Easter Egg hunt at the White House, which is nice symbolic gesture, but will it be enough to convince Congress to repeal DADT &#038; DOMA? Will it be enough to get the Mathew Shepard Bill passed? Will President Obama even request Congress to do those things, or will it be like Bill Clinton, all show, and no action. Can Obama wield enough power, to get Congress to do the right thing, to insure equal rights for everyone, or will it fall on deaf ears, as it has in the past? ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The news isn&#8217;t good. Rates of infection for various STD&#8217;s (Sexually Transmitted Diseases) is on the rise, and a lot more in the Gay Community than in the Straight World. And while the health implications, alone, are worrisome, there is also the political backlash that these rising rates could cause. It isn&#8217;t like we are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The recent Victory by Senator Barack Obama in South Carolina tops the news, because let us be honest, who would have thought 10 or 20 years ago that a Black Man might become President?

		<description><![CDATA[Neither the Republicans or Democrats lost any sleep over the defeat of the Mathew Shepard Bill. In fact, it was just Politics as usual in both ranks, as Bush dealt another blow to Democracy, to Compassion, and to Gay Rights. In fact, some of those who opposed including Sexual Orientation into Hate Crime Laws claimed [...]]]></description>
