COFFEE 528 - Sotomayor, New York, National Polls, PA and FLA!

By Ameriqueer
FIRST: What kind of Justice will Judge Sonia Sotomayor be? LAW DORK investigates some of her previous statements on diversity. We're eager to learn more about her. Alex Blaze specifically looks at what her LGBT record may end up being.

NATIONAL: Gallup finds that the nation is holding steady on Marriage Equality support. Statistics guru Nate Silver at FiveThirtyEight blog shows us that Latinos are no less supportive of Marriage Equality than Caucasians.

STATE2STATE: HERE'S WHERE THINGS STAND. RHODE ISLAND may be the only New England state whose government is saying "never" to Marriage Equality, but the majority of the citizens are saying "NOW!" PENNSYLVANIA now has a 'Marriage Discrimination' Constitutional amendment up for debate in the legislature, but that bill is about to get some competition--from a MARRIAGE EQUALITY AMENDMENT! A gay FLORIDA Politician is not only honest about his orientation--he's unabashedly so--and calls out other 'less honest' politicians in the process! NEW YORK sees a potential boom in the 'pink buck' if Marriage Equality is legalized. The NYC Public Library is to open a History of Gay Activism exhibit. EMPIRE STATE PRIDE AGENDA has released another awesome Marriage Equality ad. Here are some words from a crazy Assemblywoman. Here are some better words from Ugly Betty's Ana Ortiz supporting our rights! Kirsten Gillibrand and Chuck Shumer send a letter to law-makers URGING them to pass Marriage Equality. However, there is concern that support for Marriage Equality is DROPPING in NEW YORK. Wait 'til they find out about the MILLION$ in store for them, though! MASSACHUSETTS knows well--they've made $111 Million off of Marriage Equality--and most of that time no 'out-of-staters' could even do it! NEVADA Governor Jim Gibbons vetoes Domestic Partnerships.

GOOD WORK: Twitter is rolling out a new 'e-currency' called 'twollers,' but instead of raising money for the fat corporate cats, twollers are raising money for good causes! Starting a "Giving Circle." There are many great organizations that are working hard to try to achieve success today! Harrah's supports same-sex couples LOUDLY! Microsoft goes gay in India.

OFF THE BLOTTER: NOMNOMNOM is starting a crusade... I mean anti-marriage ad blitz. Conservatives may be cheering about the New York Times' decline now, but when the uber-left-leaning web takes the helm of journalism, they're going to miss it. Did AT&T--a sponsor of American Idol--cheat to help Kris Allen win?

TOAST TO ADAM LAMBERT-KEEP 'EM GUESSING, HONEY!

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 citize...

Howard Dean Supports Marriage Equality in Vermont

By Ameriqueer
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. Dean was the governor back in 2000 when Vermont became the first state in the Union to enact Civil Unions legislation under pressure from the courts. Now they may just be the first state to enact Marriage Equality WITHOUT pressure from the courts. The Current Governor, Jim Douglas has vowed to veto the legislation when it hits his desk, however, he's also indicated that even he doubts the legislators would not have moved the legislation forward if they did not have a Veto-Proof majority. Let's hope this bolsters the cause of equality even more.

In anti-gay attack, AIM falsely asserts "pedophile" Jennings was "teaching 14-year-old boys" about sexual practices | Media Matters for America

By Ameriqueer
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.
