I tend to think there are more important issues in the world than whether Larry Craig is or is not a homosexual. I also think that a lot of ink is being spilled over something that is more sensational than substantive to his doing his job. The guy was accused of an offense, he pled […]

Yadda, yadda, yadda. We know the right is opposed to hate crime legislation that includes language for GLBT Americans. That is nothing new. However, this time around, the Democrats have majorities in both houses of congress and it is time that they passed this bill. Bush has, of course, threatoned a veto but if the […]

How far it will get, who knows? But New York now joins a growing list of states where assemblies are debating allowing gay marriage and not banning it with constitutional amendments. Has the tide began to turn? Polls seem to show a growing acceptance for some form or legal recognition of gay relationships, be it […]

And I had such high hopes for Rudy Giuliani. Seems he is now distancing himself from his pro-gay past. One of the things people have admired about him most has been his ability to remain steadfast in his positions. I fear this “more nuanced” approach will hurt his candidacy. I don’t think any dyed in […]

See it is possible for a news anchor to be openly gay. Maybe someone should tell this guy.

Mike Huckabee, a Baptist minister and conservative presidential candidate, seems to be ok with GBLT Americans being able to openly serve in the military. As Pam’s House Blend reports, Huckabee is quoted as saying: “I’m not sure that being homosexual should automatically disqualify a person from the military. If a person can do his or […]

GayPatriot takes aim at Tim Gill and the Gill Foundation for using their money and strategic capabilities to effect change for GLBT persons by targeting anti-gay politicians and supporting their opponents. He is worried about: “…what the Gill-sponsored candidates have promised in return for their debit card at the Gill ATM machine.” I am sure the Gill-sponsored candidates […]

I am glad we have the opportunity to be just as tacky as anyone else. Today the Walt Disney Company says it will allow same-sex couples to exchange vows in front of Cinderella’s Castle. It isn’t exactly the Guggenheim but hey, to each their own. Seriously though, Disney has long stood up for equal treatment and my […]

Good Lord, we really are everywhere! (NOTE: The headline is a joke and since I come from a long line of southerners that won’t live in anything that you can’t pick up and take with you, I josh my fellow escapees from Hicksville. ) (FURTHER NOTE: Yes… I am aware that NASCAR isn’t just for rednecks […]

While I am not a big fan of the Human Rights Campaign, I am a big fan of transparency in regards to non-profit organizations. I agree with Andrew Sullivan who says: “Until they start answering questions posed by the media, stop giving them your money.” These are simple questions being asked of you from the […]

Hillary gives “great face” as they say. I am glad a leading Presidential candidate is at least saying these words (UPDATE: even if somewhat in secret): “We’re going to reach out and work with our allies in Congress both to change laws and change hearts. We want to make sure that all Americans in committed […]

And they eat their own… Say what you will about Ann Coulter, and I certainly have, but she says what some others only think. That has always been her appeal and she will continue to have an audience. She has certainly said much worse and that didn’t seem to effect her popularity. I tend to […]

Now is the time for the Democratic Party to step up or forever loose their ability to call on GLBT support. There is a Democratic majority in both houses and they should immediately address and pass the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” The Human Rights Campaign has used millions of GLBT dollars to bet on just this […]

Andrew Sullivan, for me, nails it on the head: “There are so many reasons why gay people might vote Republican if the GOP were a conservative party and not a religious one. Small government, individual freedom, low taxes, strong defense: these are values shared by many gay Americans. Personal responsibility is also one of them. […]

OK. I will say it. I feel sorry for Ted Haggard. I know firsthand the kind of environment that produces a person who will do anything to avoid being “damned.” The problem is, that no matter how hard you struggle, how hard you pray, how hard you will yourself to righteousness, it never works.
