The Mulder family, whose son Ryan was killed in a gay hate crime this year, asks (via video) the candidates, “As president, what will you do to help create a climate of understanding and respect towards lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered Americans?”

Brian Williams: Marriage is Under Attack…?
Posted in Uncategorized on November 21, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I wondered the same thing as Glenn Greenwald when I watched NBC Nightly News last night.
The segment on Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip’s 60th wedding anniversary was nice nonetheless.

Hands, touchin hands
Reachin out
Touchin me

Sweet caroline
Good times never seemed so good

-Neil Diamond, Sweet Caroline
Yes, those lyrics are about the young Caroline Kennedy, apparently. Is it just me, or is that just a bit creepish?
Archbishop Tutu Speaks Out Against Homophobia in Anglican Church
Posted in homos, religious left, religious right on November 18, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu harshly criticized homophobia in the Anglican Church. From BBC:
In an interview with BBC Radio 4, he said the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, had failed to demonstrate that God is “welcoming”.
He also repeated accusations that the Church was “obsessed” with the issue of gay priests…
Archbishop Tutu referred to [...]
Pastor Threatens Microsoft for its Support of Gay Equality
Posted in homos, religious right on November 16, 2007 | 2 Comments »
The Reverend Ken Hutcherson, former Dallas Cowboys linebacker and minister at the Antioch Bible Church in Redmond, Washington is threatening Microsoft (again) for its support of anti-discrimination legislation in Washington State. Hutcherson had threatened a boycott on Microsoft in 2005, causing the corporation to briefly suspend its support for the legislation (it later renewed support [...]
Lutheran Church in Norway Lifts Ban on Gay Ministers
Posted in homos, religious left, religious right on November 16, 2007 | 1 Comment »
From IHT:
Norway’s state Lutheran church on Friday lifted an outright ban on allowing those living in homosexual partnerships to serve in the clergy, but will leave it up to each bishop to make individual decisions on whether to employ them.
The compromise decision reflected the realization that the church may have to live with a deep [...]
More on the Not Gay Chant
Posted in homos, religious right on November 15, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Jamelle weights in on the “Not Gay” column. I concur with his conclusion that Cortes is:
1) an idiot.
2) a first-year taking a 100-level philosophy class who got his terms mixed up.
Queerty also weights in, making the point that the need to reaffirm one’s one heterosexuality, is “the gayest thing we’ve ever heard.” In this regard, [...]
Homophobia is Immoral
Posted in homos, religious right on November 14, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Yet again, the Cavalier Daily, my university’s daily student paper, ran an ill informed column on homosexuality. My response is as follows:
I found Mr. Cortes’s attempt to paint himself the victim of intolerance pathetic and laughable. I’m sure the “stares and criticisms” Mr. Cortes had to endure for singing the Not Gay Chant were no [...]
Gay Becomes Blasé
Posted in homos on November 6, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Gregory Rodriguez wrote a great piece in the LA Times yesterday highlighting a recent gay demographics study conducted by Gary Gates at the UCLA Law’s Williams Institute. The study found, among many things, that the gay population has been steadily diversifying. The number of out gay couples has also increased tremendously over the past decade–especially [...]
Civil Unions: Separate and Unequal
Posted in homos on November 3, 2007 | 1 Comment »
The New Jersey commission charged with investigating the civil unions in the state has found that the “civil union law has been a failure…It is not working as effectively as if the word ‘marriage’ were used.”
Gov. Corzine has expressed support for full marriage equality for gays in New Jersey, though he wants to hold off [...]
A Gay Reprieve for Obama?
Posted in democrats, homos on November 3, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Even after Obama’s gay gaffe, this Daily Dish reader still thinks he’s the best hope for gays.
I don’t know. I tend to agree with Dean Barnett of the Weekly Standard:
For Obama, L’Affaire McClurkin is yet another embarrassing piece of evidence confirming his not-ready-for-primetime bona fides. As with everything else he’s done in this campaign besides [...]
