LAST CALL 504 - Marriage Equality is one of Oprah's favorite things! The View might get a little Cali-phobic!

By Ameriqueer May 04, 2009

Oprah, Gayle King, Jenny McCarthy, Nate Berkus and Hugh Jackman all talk Marriage Equality! I think its one of OPRAH'S FAVORITE THIIIIINGS!

National: Jeb Bush tells the GOP: Give up the Reagan-worship! Their "image-makeover" complete with all sorts of 'Gipper' imagery.

White House: Obama, how about the Family Leave Insurance Act? At least its a starter. Will he be taken to task by Republicants for picking someone pro-gay as the next Supreme Court Justice? We're asking him to still please do so.

State2State: How will Democratic governors in Blue states handle Marriage Equality? Maybe Specter would have fared better for reelection as a PENNSYLVANIA Republican. Hundreds Marched in Philly in Pro-Equality rally! It was rainy but looked fun! Pro-Equality Religious leaders to rally in WASHINGTON D.C. Learn more about HRC's 2009 Clergy call for Justice and Equality. In CALIFORNIA NOMNOMNOM refuses to release their Financial Records. The way forward for LGBT people of color in IOWA, meanwhile, their National Guard will be dumping married gays. Who's driving in to get hitched? In NEW YORK, The Empire State Pride Agenda is making a louder plea to law-makers, and using constituent poll data to make their case. And there is LOTS of data. Manhattan's next District Attorney may be an openly gay man! In KENTUCKY, an Assistant Principal bars all gays from using the restroom.

Around the World: An Abu Dabi newspaper speaks to an alleged Iraqi gay executioner. Is this Australian kids book too gay for kids?

Off the Blotter: The new Miss Cali's campaign for Opposite Marriage. CARRIE PREJEAN MIGHT JOIN THE VIEW! Does she have the same opinion on Marriage Equality as Obama? THE SINGLE MOST RIDICULOUS ploy against the Hate Crimes Bill yet. Great Open-Letter to Hollywood about their use of the gay punchline. More on that out gay student dismissed from Chi Alpha Christian Fellowship at Cornell. Liberty University Professor busted in sex crime. Brian Brown sets off some folks' gay-dar. Should Rudy's gay pals still be defending him after he stood them up at their wedding (that he swore he'd officiate a few years ago). A penis study. Hunting for the secrets of a HAPPY MARRIAGE! Cher said its in his kiss!

Is "outing" an anti-gay closeted gay law-maker really immoral or is it just reporting someone and holding them accountable? In any other case, we'd call it whistleblowing... I don't know where I stand, I just think its worth pondering.

TOAST TO CHARLIE CRIST!

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

By Ameriqueer December 10, 2009

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 July 28, 2009

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
