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

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



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.  



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!

Chris Geidner: In Iowa, judges are ousted.

By Ameriqueer
Via Chris Geidner's Poliglot blog at Metro Weekly:

"

In Iowa, which declared Iowa's marriage ban unconstitutional under the state's constitution in 2009, the National Organization for Marriage got one of its first electoral victories this year. The judicial retention elections appear to have resulted in the replacement of all three justices up for a vote this year.

Here, as of 3:35 a.m. and with 1767 out of 1774 precincts reporting, are the Iowa Secretary of State's election results:

Supreme Court Justice David L. Baker
Yes 443437 45.75%
No 525865 54.25%

Supreme Court Justice Michael J. Streit
Yes 442459 45.6%
No 527921 54.4%

Supreme Court Chief Justice Marsha Ternus
Yes 437118 44.99%
No 534486 55.01%

The court was unanimous in its 2009 ruling that Iowa's constitution required marriage equality."

HEY #p2!--CALLING ALL PROGRESSIVE ALLIES!

By Ameriqueer
-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 citizens. That&#…

WHAT. THE. HELL? NEW HAMPSHIRE??? (and a prop 8 update)

By Ameriqueer
Okay, first let me just say CALIFORNIA can breathe easy for a few more days as San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsome convinced the Supreme Court to hold of on releasing their decision on Prop 8 a few more days until the 30th anniversary of the White Night Riots is passed.  We're probably going to see it Tuesday, the following Thursday or THAT following Monday.  
NOW:  WHAT THE HELL, NEW HAMPSHIRE HOUSE?!?!?!?!???!?!?!?!????!
The NEW HAMPSHIRE House, which on May 6 APPROVED Marriage Equality by a vote of 178-167, has now stalled the REWRITTEN BY GOVERNOR JOHN LYNCH bill 188-186--That's right, folks, two votes.  25 members did not vote at all, and opponents of the bill failed to kill it in a 173-202 vote, but this STILL means we're waiting on NEW HAMPSHIRE to GET ITS SHIT TOGETHER!  The House passed a resolution to continue negotiating with the Senate by a vote of 207-168.  If that same number votes for the 're-re-renegotiated' bill in the next two weeks it will pass, but …
