CHANGES TO THE BLOG/HOW TO HEAR ME ON LUNDON CALLING FROM LAST WEEK!

By Ameriqueer
First of all, the Lundon-Calling broadcast from last Wednesday was awesome. There will be instructions at the bottom of this post for getting the podcast. Our homo View was lots of fun and funny, and we covered a LOT of topics--from the political to the... well, let's just say NOT political!

Second, starting tomorrow I will be laying out my posts in a new way to increase ease of use. Now I will summarize the news of the day at the top of the post, and then follow with links at the bottom. You can get a quick and easy at-a-glance look at LGBT news, and then if you like, follow through with links on the topics you wish, and scan right past those you'd rather ignore. I will still organize it in this order: On.D.C; STATE2STATE; PINK/BUCK; AROUND/THE/GLOBE; OFF/THE/MAP; and OURstory. Links will occur before OURstory and the TOAST at the end. I will start out with the biggest story (IMHO) of the day.

As promised, here is what you can do to download my latest appearance on Lundon-Calling: Visit http://www.lundon-calling.net/main/?cat=5 and click on Lundon Calling 30th Show 6/17/09 to download the show. It should begin playing immediately in quicktime. If you have any problems, comment or email me, and I'll be happy to help. This is not the feed the show is NORMALLY posted to and it has potential to move, so if it moves and you can't find it, let me know and I will fix this post.

TOAST TO IBRAHIM, MY GOOD BUDDY WHO FORWARDED A VERY VERY INTERESTING LEAD TO ME... MAY MEAN A NEW DIRECTION IN MY ACTIVISM!

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.
