On my way to our Great Nation's capitol! #NEM

By Ameriqueer

I'm reporting to you live from the Capitol of the great state of Indiana in the http://Bilerico.com offices (AKA Bil Browning and Jerame Davis's living room) about to embark across these amber waves of grain to the place where laws are made and unmade for the much anticipated National Equality March this Sunday, National Coming Out Day, October 11, 2009. 30 years ago this weekend gays and lesbians marched on our Nation's Capitol for the very first time, seeking Federal recognition of Equal Protection under the Law.

We still don't have it.

So we're marching to tell them once and for all it is time for justice, it is time for equality, it is time for liberty! Follow me this weekend and learn first-hand what's going on to help secure equality as I take you inside the summit and the march. I'm liveblogging here and on Bilerico.com. I'll link to any original Bilerico content that goes up from my observations.

Make sure you comment frequently so that I am not only your eyes and ears in DC, but your voice too!

Happy equality all!

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."

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.
