Congress gets a little more lavenderer while Austrailia turns pink!

Its going to be a good weekend for the staff over at the Victory Fund. With over 45% of the vote, out and proud super-millionaire Jared Polis has defeated former state Senate President, Senator Joan Fitz-Gerald and secured his party's nomination in Colorado's heavily democratic 2nd District, representing Boulder, after a heated three-way race. Jared is not expected to face much opposition in the General Election, and will likely join Reps Tammy Baldwin and Barney Frank as Congress’s third out lawmaker.  

Meanwhile, down under, the Australian Capital Territory’s new Civil Partnership law is taking off faster than the lawmakers who crafted it expected.  True, only about 25 couples have registered, but they were only expecting 15, so things are going much better than expected.

Finally, give it up for Top Model, who are brave enough to give not one, but two trans contestants a chance at being America’s Next Top Model.  

I’m watching this story to see what this school’s reasoning is here.  Were they kicked off the team for making porn or making gay porn

Well my text editor is acting funny, so I think I’ll restart and add a little more later!

In anti-gay attack, AIM falsely asserts "pedophile" Jennings was "teaching 14-year-old boys" about sexual practices | Media Matters for America

In anti-gay attack, AIM falsely asserts "pedophile" Jennings was "teaching 14-year-old boys" about sexual practices | Media Matters for America : "In attacking the media for allegedly insufficient coverage of Obama administration official Kevin Jennings, a blogger for Accuracy in Media, which purports to 'set the record straight on important issues that have received slanted coverage' -- and which has a record of antagonism toward gays -- smeared Jennings as a 'pedophile' and falsely claimed that '[v]ideos have surfaced of Jennings teaching 14-year-old boys the dangerous sexual practice of 'fisting,' and discussing with them the particulars of oral sex.' In fact, Jennings did not conduct that seminar and, in fact, reportedly criticized it when he became aware of its content." AIM is a crock. They're nothing more than Republican mouthpieces.

HEY #p2!--CALLING ALL PROGRESSIVE ALLIES!

-HEY #p2! (Progressives). We can't do this alone. Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans have been fighting for over half a Century to have basic Civil Rights. We have so much to do, and we are such a small group. Without an army of Progressive allies, we can't win. Our rights as American citizens are constantly being compromised, despite life-time service to our nation as good, contributing citizens. We can't wait any longer. We need our Progressive allies to step up and go to bat for us TODAY. We must demand Progressives have got to make LGBT rights a top priority in 2010, or we will keep being put on the back-burner. There will ALWAYS be something more important than LGBT equality affecting America--issues like Health Care Reform and the Economy effect LGBT people too! However, when we are discriminated against under the law every single day, we can't give our all to fixing these problems. We are long overdue to be counted as equal citize...
