Mike Huckabee should join his creater sooner than later

I don't think I need to explain why I feel this way. he is obviously more in tune with Nazi ideals than American values - he should hook up with Fred Phelps and move to Afghanistan - maybe the Taliban can use him.

The bigot test...

I am going to make the Don't Ask Don't Tell repeal and Employment Non-discrimination Act very simple: if you don't vote to protect people from sexual orientation discrimination YOU ARE A BIGOT! It's that simple. Vote to repeal DADT or you are a bigot, vote for ENDA or you are a bigot. Have you noticed how the chest-thumping white supremacists who opposed integration are remembered today? That's how homophobic pea-brains in congress now will be remembered.

By the way, Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh are worse than the KKK and white supremacists combined - in fact they are worse than Fred Phelps - so if you're getting your opinions from those two then YOU ARE A BIGOT!

Here's how it should be

The right has used education and our children to block equal marriage for LGBT citizens. What if we counter with something that everyone can relate to? How about an image of your grandmother or grandfather losing everything because their same-sex spouse dies and there are no protections afforded by marriage? What if we see dear old grandma forced to give up the home where she and her partner lived for years because they couldn't be lagally married? I know it sounds straight out of "If these Walls Could talk" but the way we feel about our grandparents is something that does not change from one ethnic, social, political or economic background? Or how about talking about all the ways in which straights are similar to queers? Don't we tell the same stories to our children when they "walk in" on mommy and daddy or mommy and mommy? Don't we worry about who are children are going to school with? Don't we worry if the man at the bank will give us a mortgage because we're different? Let's mobilize the common ground and tap into the common fear. An attack on one family should be an attack on all families. Please forward this up and out - it might just be the way for all of us to become equal Americans.

Prop. 8 upheld - shame on California

So Prop 8 was upheld - no i wasn't surpised by it but it just opens an old festering wound. The thing shouldn't have passed in the first place.

To those who voted for it and those who continue to support it I wish upon you the same pain and suffering you are causing to the millions of gay families inthe world. I hope that someone invalidates your love, i hope that you are denied visitation, benefits and decision making powers. I hope you hurt like you have hurt others.

I also know that Prop. 8 is going to be short-lived. See you in 2010 when we take back our rights.

"The civil rights you took from us, we want them back again, and we'll walk and march and picket until we see you bend, if you do not give them to us we will take them in the end and we'll go marching on."

The Harvey Milk Experience

There is nothing about the new movie Milk that I can say that has not already been said. In my mind it should have received every award that it was nominated for. Sean Penn has never been captivated by a role so totally as when he played Milk. His performance was stunning. His acceptance speech at the Oscars is something I finally understand. When Anita Bryant (that soulless devil and destroyer of hope) brought her evil Proposition 6 to California she has seen success all across the country - but in California she failed.

And this is why Sean Penn said that the people who voted for Proposition 8. He said that because California stopped the hatred and the fear with their defeat of Proposition 6 and they should have stopped it again by denying Prop. 8. But LGBT people have faced adversity and betrayal before and we forgive easily if we are shown that people want to do the right thing.

It's time to fight back - not in a few election cycles but in the very next one. We will call of the followers of Milk and we will call on his spirit to guide us. We will call on all those who have gone before and who have yet to come to unite behind this effort as we have never united before. We will prevail. Harvey Milk said "If a bullet should enter my brain let that bullet destroy every closet door." I call on the leaders of the LGBT community to once again raise the call for people to come out - come out to your friends, co-workers, parents, families and congregations. Come out to everyone every chance you get. Tell them that you are gay and when they next go to the polls to vote on gay people remind them that if they vote to hurt gay people they are voting to hurt you.

BOYCOTT PRANKPLACE.COM!!!!!!

PrankPlace.com, an online Internet gag store, is advertising magnetic bumper stickers meant to be placed on unsuspecting people's cars as jokes. Featured on the site are numerous bumper stickers with various gay-themed slogans.

Attaching a gay themed slogan sticker to some one's car is absolutely a dangerous business practice and here's why:

• It makes a mockery of the struggle for LGBT equality, an important struggle held close tot he hearts of many
• It creates a potentially dangerous situation for the victim of the prank as anti-gay violence is a very real and serious problem faced by many LGBT motorists. Incidence of road-rage and assault because of gay-themed bumper stickers is quite real.
• It creates a potentially dangerous situation for anyone observing the victim's false bumper sticker - someone may assume the person is gay and approach them, leading to a potential homophobic or violent outburst against an unwitting observer
• The site compares bestiality, and criminal activity to being gay - which is at best an unfair comparison and at worst a type of corporate gay-bashing.

The site proudly advertises these products thus:

Slap one of our hilarious magnetic bumper "sticker" signs on someone's (sic) car and laugh your butt off as they drive down the road. These signs are printed on magnetic sheeting so they will not damage the vehicles finish, but we CANNOT guarantee what they do to the ego of the driver! Stick one on someone's (sic) car... They won't notice for days!

While many of PrankPlace.com's products are amusing this product has the potential to do serious harm. Email PrankPlace.com today and tell them to remove this product!

The Pope is an Idiot

The Pope said today that condoms are not the answer to the spread of HIV and AIDS in Africa but instead people should practice abstinence and fidelity.

The Pope is a moron. African leaders are also right to suggest that the Pope cares more about religious dogma than the lives of African citizens. Especially since condoms are frequently proven tools to the reduction of HIV transmission.

The Pope, however, should not be looked to as a world leader but as a spiritual leader. According to the Christian faith the Pope is not really interested in saving your life but in saving your soul. it should come as no surprise, then, that he does not advocate for the use of condoms as a tool to fight HIV and AIDS. In fact I am surprised that he is concerned with worldly ailments at all. Of course this makes me wonder if he goes in for health checkups and takes any effort to prevent his body being afflicted with disease.
