Double your investment in 24 hours

By Ameriqueer

Today we're going to help you double your investment in under 48 hours--your investment in equality!

Protect Maine Equality

Once again, a generous donor and Bilerico reader has offered to match donations to our ActBlue Maine Page up to $1000 to help stop the discriminatory Question One in Maine and protect equality for all families! The deadline is Thursday, October 15 at 11:59pm Eastern! We need your help, though! Our donor will only match if at least 12 people contribute. After all the excitement of National Coming Out Day, let's come out in strong support of Maine and help take us over our $5,000 goal!

Your contribution will put people on the ground telling their stories and making their cases to Mainers directly face-to-face. Donate through our Act Blue Maine page today and your dollars help pay for the facilities, training, materials and media blitzes that will help Mainers defend equality at the ballot box this November.

Last time we had a donor match, we blew the goal out of the water--that's because our Bilerico readers are amazing. Now, a month later, we need to blitz again. The race is very tight in Maine and noone can predict what could happen. Please donate to the Bilerico/No On One Maine Act Blue Page and do what you can to stop the Far Right's march to rip our rights away..

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
