David Mixner featured my "-HEY #p2!" video on his blog this morning!

DavidMixner.com - Live From Hell's Kitchen--Our Young Speak: CALLING ALL PROGRESSIVE ALLIES:

"This is an amazing video and plea for freedom from one of the young members of the LGBT community..."

Its nice to be called young! Sometimes I don't feel like it anymore! I'm working with young college activists all the time, and I feel like Old Man River in comparison!

Anyway, it was quite an honor to be featured on David Mixner's blog this morning! I hope Ace sees this! Anyway, please--like David Mixner did--help spread the video by posting it to your facebook, your blog, and tweeting it with the phrase "-HEY #p2!" We're trying to get the greater Progressive community's attention. We LGBT folk have been helping the Progressive community progress for years, but we still need more help on our issues. We're not going to Get anywhere without as many allies as we can bring to the table!

HEY #p2!--CALLING ALL PROGRESSIVE ALLIES!

-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&#…

Chair of Joint Chiefs of staff: DADT "goes counter to who we are as institution."

Chris Geidner: In Iowa, judges are ousted.

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."
