It Really Is Getting Better
April 5th, 2012
I'd like to ask the prevaricating (and blatantly racist) leadership at NOM if they'd like to argue the issue of LGBT equality with these guys... meet the You Can Play Project.

Iowa For Marriage Equality
Feb 28th, 2012
In Iowa, where the opponents of marriage equality managed to recall three of the state's Supreme Court justices for affirming the right of gays and lesbians to marry in 2010, comes this news:
"A majority of Iowans oppose passage of a state constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage, a new Des Moines Register Iowa Poll shows.
The poll found that 38 percent favor a legislative initiative to pass a constitutional amendment, while 56 percent are against. Six percent aren’t sure."
The numbers show a slight rise in support from a similar poll conducted not long after the successful conservative attack on the judiciary. Again, the importance of center-left voter turnout is demonstrated.

It's Gets Better... And Worse...
Feb 9th, 2012
The better...
In response to the vile campaign urging JC Penney to drop Ellen DeGeneres as a spokesperson simply because she is gay, an effort which even Bill O'Reilly likened to McCarthyism, CEO Ron Johnson has made a statement affirming the company's loyalty to her:
"We stand squarely behind Ellen as our spokesperson and that’s a great thing, because she shares the same values that we do in our company. Our company was founded 110 years ago on The Golden Rule, which is about treating people fair and square, just like if you treated yourself. And we think Ellen represents the values of our company and the values that we share."
The worse...
Rick Santorum reacted to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals striking down the odious Prop 8 by comparing them to "the Soviet Union." Seriously.

Perry Watch - About That Anti-LGBT Ad - "like" Button Edition
Dec 9th, 2011
Yeah, once again, Sullivan noticed this first:
"The Perry campaign forgot to turn off YouTube "likes" and "dislikes" on its new ad condoning the persecution of gays abroad."
The numbers, as of 5:00pm CST 12/09/2011 are as follows:
Now, I know it's not very Christian of me, but, Mr. Perry? Go fuck yourself.

Perry Watch - About That Anti-LGBT Ad... Pushback Edition

Yes. We were more than a little disturbed by GOP Presidential wannabe Rick Perry's assault on basic Christian decency. We weren't alone. From Funny or Die.

Perry Watch - About That Anti-LGBT Ad
Dec 9th, 2011
Everyone is talking about the drippingly hateful and openly Dominionist shocker that is Rick Perry's latest campaign ad. Feel free to click the link, I refuse to post it on our page. The first thing Perry wants us all to know is that he's "not ashamed to call himself a Christian." Gee, Rick, neither am I. I'm glad we cleared that up.
Sullivan is furious:
"Can someone tell me, outside a few hostile enclaves on the intolerant left, where in America people feel pressured not to call themselves Christians? What you have here is classic - and imagined - victimology."
In the ad, Perry accuses President Obama of waging a "war on religion." Questioned by Wolf Blitzer about the arch salvo, Perry demonstrates a view of faith in the public square that would send the Founders into a full-on freak out. Not only does he double down on every bit of his venom, he seems to argue that that it's un-Constitutional not to fund activist religious organizations from the public purse.
