COFFEE HOUR 507 - Dobson bashes, Obama is silent, the RNC is crazy, Merv Griffin did Rock Hudson.

By Ameriqueer
James Dobson is busy trying to spread the "truth" about the recently passed hate crimes bill.

White House Watch: The Executive Branch is struggling on how to respond to the slew of pro-Equality action around the nation. He does not know how to respond, despite the urgent need for some sort of statement.

State2State: In MASSACHUSETTS, CERTIFIED Hate Group, MassResistance, claims that their Ex-Gay conference was disrupted by pro-Equality "terrorists." In NORTH CAROLINA an anti-bullying bill looks like it has a good chance of making it! In CALIFORNIA, Dustin Lance Black testifies in favor of Harvey Milk Day. Also, the first lesbian rabbi joins the Southern California Board of Rabbis.

Party Time: RNC Chair Michael Steele breaks with MAINE Republican Senators Snowe and Collins in his reaction to their state's Marriage Equality decision. Both Senators have, in the past, been supportive of LGBT rights (I've actually met Snowe at an HRC meet and greet before!).

Off the Blotter: Did Merv Griffin do it with Rock Hudson and Marlon Brando? His new biography outs him (sort of... its not a huge surprise). Is Perez Hilton getting a brain? I'm not hating him! More on the Virginia Foxx "apology."

On the Calendar: Want to visit Philadelphia? Want a totally gay travel package? Southwest airlines is marketing to you!

A little self-indulgence: KYLIE MINOGUE IS GOING TO TOUR NORTH AMERICA!!! Am I going to get tickets for the Chicago show? Probably.

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.
