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

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.

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...
