CLOSING TIME 622 - Lieberman sucks, the White House is trying to quietly appease us, and is NY Marriage dead or rising?

By Ameriqueer
On.D.C|| Its no secret I hate Joe Lieberman's guts. However, Pam's House Blend contributor John Visser wrote to Sen. Lieberman about his stances on DOMA, DADT, ENDA, UAFA, and Matthew Shepard Act, and the Lieberman office's incomplete, canned and outdated response touting the virtues of man-on-woman traditional exclusive marriage is all the more reason to hate him. The country would be much better off if he retired QUICKLY. WHITE/HOUSE/WATCH|| The White House has sent out invitations to prominent LGBT leaders and hastily set up a Stonewall Celebration Monday, the day after the 40th anniversary, most likely in order to appease gay outrage at his administration's cold shoulder after we worked our asses off to get him elected. Judy is turning over in her 40 year old (plus 1 day) grave. The event, however, is not one the White House seems to want to be publicized--they aren't even answering the New York Times' questions about it. Meanwhile, after one decent day of likeable answers, Robert Gibbs is back to not knowing anything about what the White House plans to do to help us achieve equality (pssst, that's because there are no plans!).

STATE2STATE|| Tomorrow may be the day for Marriage Equality in NEW YORK as the Senate reconvenes to vote on over 40 crucial bills in an emergency session called by Governor David Patterson. David Patterson has said that Marriage Equality is not yet on the agenda... that DOESN'T mean it won't be brought up, though. I'm calling Tom Duane in the morning.

TOAST TO REP GREG HARRIS WHO'S GOING TO PASS US A BUDGET TOMORROW!

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
