CLOSING TIME 622 - Lieberman sucks, the White House is trying to quietly appease us, and is NY Marriage dead or rising?

By Ameriqueer
On.D.C|| Its no secret I hate Joe Lieberman's guts. However, Pam's House Blend contributor John Visser wrote to Sen. Lieberman about his stances on DOMA, DADT, ENDA, UAFA, and Matthew Shepard Act, and the Lieberman office's incomplete, canned and outdated response touting the virtues of man-on-woman traditional exclusive marriage is all the more reason to hate him. The country would be much better off if he retired QUICKLY. WHITE/HOUSE/WATCH|| The White House has sent out invitations to prominent LGBT leaders and hastily set up a Stonewall Celebration Monday, the day after the 40th anniversary, most likely in order to appease gay outrage at his administration's cold shoulder after we worked our asses off to get him elected. Judy is turning over in her 40 year old (plus 1 day) grave. The event, however, is not one the White House seems to want to be publicized--they aren't even answering the New York Times' questions about it. Meanwhile, after one decent day of likeable answers, Robert Gibbs is back to not knowing anything about what the White House plans to do to help us achieve equality (pssst, that's because there are no plans!).

STATE2STATE|| Tomorrow may be the day for Marriage Equality in NEW YORK as the Senate reconvenes to vote on over 40 crucial bills in an emergency session called by Governor David Patterson. David Patterson has said that Marriage Equality is not yet on the agenda... that DOESN'T mean it won't be brought up, though. I'm calling Tom Duane in the morning.

TOAST TO REP GREG HARRIS WHO'S GOING TO PASS US A BUDGET TOMORROW!

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.
