KICK SOME HATER BEHIND: 10 URGENT LGBT CAUSES YOU CAN REALLY HELP NOW!

By Ameriqueer
This fall we have a lot of LGBT issues to watch from Capitol Hill to Bangor. Its hard to sort through and tell which ones REALLY need your help NOW. Every single LGBT issue--local or national--needs your attention and support through time, spreading the word and recruitment as well as financially. However, none of us have thousands of dollars to give to all of these causes all of the place. I myself have about $100 to spend on LGBT issues this fall, and I want my $100 to make the most impact possible.

In order to help you direct your attention precisely where it will be best served, this week I will tell you all about the top 10 local LGBT fights happening THIS FALL which you can donate just $10 to make a difference. With $100 you can help make a radical difference in the Equality Agenda across this land this year--and you won't break the bank!

10. Wisconsin Domestic Partnership Benefits Supreme Court Challenge

9. Anthony Woods U.S. House California 10th District

8. Charles Pugh Detroit City Council, Michigan

7. Adam Ebbin 49th District Virginia House of Delegates reelection

6. Illinois Civil Unions

5.

4. Annise Parker Mayor of Houston, Texas

3. WAFST APPROVE Washington Referendum 71

2. One Kalamazoo Michigan campaign to protect City Non-Discrimination Ordinance

1. Maine Freedom To Marry No on Question 1

I looked through dozens of campaigns and chose the ones that I feel have the most merit, based on location, candidate history and other factors. This is not an objective list--these are my favorite for various reasons. If you have any additional suggestions, perhaps next week I can do some additions. However, I give to you my top contests!

For the rest of this week, I will be telling you why you REALLY MUST support these races. On Tuesday, I will tell you all about 10, 9, 8 and 7 and how to contribute to each. On Wednesday 6, 5 and 4 will get very detailed and you will learn how to quickly give $10 to each to help these campaigns thrive. Finally, Thursday learn how to help 3, 2 and 1. Please stay tuned to Ameriqueer to learn how you can change our LGBT political landscape for the BETTER this fall!

TOAST TO SOME VERY HARD WORKING ADVOCATES OUT THERE ABOUT TO GET SOME SPOTLIGHT.

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 …
