LC--SITTING IN CLASS RIGHT NOW GOING ABSOLUTELY NUTS!

Check out my latest blog on the Lundon Calling website: SITTING IN CLASS RIGHT NOW GOING ABSOLUTELY NUTS!

Oh indexing, how I loathe thee!

Well I can’t wait for this wednesday and L-C 50! Just going to be good ole Ace and good (not too) ole Phil. The question for you now, dear reader, is will this be a happy show or a sad show? In case you weren’t quite aware, there are three major races that queer folk all over the nation are going to be watching tomorrow.

In Maine, Mainers are going to the poll to decide Question One–whether or not to overturn the Equal Marriage law in Maine and set up two separate but not so equal system of laws for two groups–one group of laws to govern heterosexual Maine citizens, and a second (class) group of laws to govern everyone else...

Howard Dean Supports Marriage Equality in Vermont

The Burlington Free Press revealed that at a Saturday state Democratic Party reception at the Burlington Hilton, Vermont's former Governor Howard Dean encouraged the leaders in his state to pass legislation legalizing Same-Sex Marriage.

Let's hope this bolsters the cause of equality even more.

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 citize...
