Got Milk?

Today is Harvey Milk Day.  An official statewide day of remembrance for one of the most significant figures is GLBT history and the fight for gay rights.  If you don’t already know, Harvey Milk was the first openly gay, publicly-elected official in the country and was out and proud when it was not at all fashionable.  In fact, the idea that anyone would openly campaign for any public office as an in-your-face homosexual was not only revolutionary it was just plain dangerous.  If you haven’t made any plans or are looking for something maybe to do in honor of Harvey, check out this page.

A Non-Scientific Study by Desperately Sneaking Susan

Androgilez: You think she’s a lesbian, but she’s so androgynous you aren’t sure, she just might like to downplay her femininity. She’s pretty but sensitive so you’re afraid to ask.  They usually hang out with such a variety of people, you have a hard time pinpointing anything about her unless you actually got to know her.

It’s Monday again, and you know what that means. More from Matt Baume with Marriage News Watch.

“A leaked memo urges an about-face for anti-equality Republicans. A civil unions bill dies in Colorado, for now. But access to marriage expands in Rhode Island, and more new surveys confirm the ever-growing public support for equality.”

This picture embodies what many of our LGBT brothers and sisters around the world are facing.

Yesterday the police of Kiev, Ukraine told LGBT activists they had to cancel what would’ve been their first-ever pride parade, because 500+ homophobic counter protesters with ‘seemingly’ violent intent were on their way to disrupt the parade. While wide spread violence was averted, pockets of violence like the photo above did break out.

Svyatoslav Sheremet, is the head of the Gay Forum of Ukraine, and is the man who you see in the photo above being viciously attacked by three right-wing extremists. The counter-protesters ran when they realized the media wast recording their assault.

North Carolina looks to be fast in the running to surpass Tennessee for anti-gay bigotry.

Pastor Charles L. Worley of Providence Road Baptist Church in Maiden, North Carolina, has a solution to the problem of “the gay”.  Concentration camps.

The good pastor also appears to have a complete lack of understanding about just who it is making new homos.

I sent the pastor an email.  You can too, if you like.

Today CHER turns 66.

And I’ll say it again … she doesn’t look a day over the age she was when she first put on that purple Bob Mackie gown years ago. Yet she still refuses to tell me her secret to staying so svelte.

Then again, I’ve stopped asking.

Anyway, we started the celebrations with some cake. Let me be the first to tell you; C can out-eat anyone when it comes to cake.

NAACP Board votes to endorse marriage equality

The Board of Directors of the NAACP Saturday voted to endorse marriage equality.

“Civil marriage is a civil right and a matter of civil law,” NAACP president Benjamin Todd Jealous said in a statement released Saturday. “The NAACP’s support for marriage equality is deeply rooted in the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution and equal protection of all people. The well-funded right wing organizations who are attempting to split our communities are no friend to civil rights, and they will not succeed.”   (Source)

This stance by the NAACP will help counter the anti-gay stance of many in black churches, who have been critical of President Obama’s recent support of marriage equality.  It also reaffirms that the right to marriage is a civil right, and it is appropriate to view the struggle for equality in those terms.

Cue right-wing outrage.

Mississippi state lawmaker, Representative Andy Gipson, is rejecting calls to apologize for remarks he made on May 10, 2012 on his Facebook page.  Leviticus 20:13 calls for the death penalty for homosexual acts, and Gipson cited it in response to President Obama’s recent announcement supporting marriage equality.

Gipson is a Southern Baptist Minister and business attorney, as well as a Republican Representative from Braxton, Mississippi.

Gipson is not backing down, saying “To be clear, I want the world to know that I do not, cannot, and will not apologize for the inspired truth of God’s Word. It is one thing that will never ‘change’.”
