CHANGES TO THE BLOG/HOW TO HEAR ME ON LUNDON CALLING FROM LAST WEEK!

By Ameriqueer
First of all, the Lundon-Calling broadcast from last Wednesday was awesome. There will be instructions at the bottom of this post for getting the podcast. Our homo View was lots of fun and funny, and we covered a LOT of topics--from the political to the... well, let's just say NOT political!

Second, starting tomorrow I will be laying out my posts in a new way to increase ease of use. Now I will summarize the news of the day at the top of the post, and then follow with links at the bottom. You can get a quick and easy at-a-glance look at LGBT news, and then if you like, follow through with links on the topics you wish, and scan right past those you'd rather ignore. I will still organize it in this order: On.D.C; STATE2STATE; PINK/BUCK; AROUND/THE/GLOBE; OFF/THE/MAP; and OURstory. Links will occur before OURstory and the TOAST at the end. I will start out with the biggest story (IMHO) of the day.

As promised, here is what you can do to download my latest appearance on Lundon-Calling: Visit http://www.lundon-calling.net/main/?cat=5 and click on Lundon Calling 30th Show 6/17/09 to download the show. It should begin playing immediately in quicktime. If you have any problems, comment or email me, and I'll be happy to help. This is not the feed the show is NORMALLY posted to and it has potential to move, so if it moves and you can't find it, let me know and I will fix this post.

TOAST TO IBRAHIM, MY GOOD BUDDY WHO FORWARDED A VERY VERY INTERESTING LEAD TO ME... MAY MEAN A NEW DIRECTION IN MY ACTIVISM!

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...
