COFFEE HOUR 507 - Dobson bashes, Obama is silent, the RNC is crazy, Merv Griffin did Rock Hudson.

By Ameriqueer
James Dobson is busy trying to spread the "truth" about the recently passed hate crimes bill.

White House Watch: The Executive Branch is struggling on how to respond to the slew of pro-Equality action around the nation. He does not know how to respond, despite the urgent need for some sort of statement.

State2State: In MASSACHUSETTS, CERTIFIED Hate Group, MassResistance, claims that their Ex-Gay conference was disrupted by pro-Equality "terrorists." In NORTH CAROLINA an anti-bullying bill looks like it has a good chance of making it! In CALIFORNIA, Dustin Lance Black testifies in favor of Harvey Milk Day. Also, the first lesbian rabbi joins the Southern California Board of Rabbis.

Party Time: RNC Chair Michael Steele breaks with MAINE Republican Senators Snowe and Collins in his reaction to their state's Marriage Equality decision. Both Senators have, in the past, been supportive of LGBT rights (I've actually met Snowe at an HRC meet and greet before!).

Off the Blotter: Did Merv Griffin do it with Rock Hudson and Marlon Brando? His new biography outs him (sort of... its not a huge surprise). Is Perez Hilton getting a brain? I'm not hating him! More on the Virginia Foxx "apology."

On the Calendar: Want to visit Philadelphia? Want a totally gay travel package? Southwest airlines is marketing to you!

A little self-indulgence: KYLIE MINOGUE IS GOING TO TOUR NORTH AMERICA!!! Am I going to get tickets for the Chicago show? Probably.

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.

NEW BILERICO GUEST POST: What the GLAAD Network Report Means

By Ameriqueer
MY NEWEST CONTRIBUTION TO BILERICO; PLEASE VISIT BILERICO.COM FOR THE ENTIRE POST! Yesterday, GLAAD released its Network Responsibility Index report for 2009, ranking the top broadcast and cable networks on their LGBT inclusivity in programming. ABC led the broadcast networks this year with depictions like Ugly Betty 's gay Ken-doll Marc, played by Michael Urie, among other depictions on other shows. HBO led the cable networks with shows like gay-created True Blood , No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency , and Big Love ; with over 42% of programming being LGBT inclusive. We're not surprised that there were so many cable networks that ranked high on the index; #2 Showtime's programming consisted of 24% LGBT-inclusive programming, #3 TNT dedicated 19% of its hours to LGBT-inclusive content, #4 MTV 17% (really, only 17?), and #5 Lifetime—the in-denial fourth gay network—had 14%. This was all while the Network's rankings topped out at ABC's 24% and went down from there to C
