VERY QUICK ROUNDUP! 703 - PALIN IS RESIGNING! NY, CA, PA, TX, INDIA, UGANA

By Ameriqueer
SARAH PALIN IS RESIGNING!

In.D.C|| Gee now we know how the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee feels about us--they left us off of the "Priority Issues Survey!" Now even if Dems WANTED to tell them to make Transgender and LGB issues priorities, they can't! This is kind of an AMAZING critique of the administration's DADT slowness.

STATE2STATE|| In NEW YORK, Governor Patterson told the Senate: 'if you can't stop being dumbasses, you'll be here all holiday weekend!' Now the Comptroller is agreeing to withhold Senate pay! Is there a serial gay basher stalking NYC? In CALIFORNIA, THE BLEND'S PAM updates us on the Camp Pendleton Hate Crime murder. In PENNSYLVANIA, last night Allegheny County created a Human Rights Commission to extend non-discrimination protections to LGBTQ persons.

RAINBOW LOUNGE FIASCO|| LAST NIGHT THE FORT WORTH POLICE DEPARTMENT ANNOUNCED IT WOULD SUSPEND ALL "BAR CHECKS" IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE TEXAS ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE COMMISSION!

AROUND/THE/GLOBE|| Is the Delhi court ruling legalizing homosexuality in INDIA binding nationwide? It looks like it might be! Uganda may ban ALL LGBT advocacy!

OFF/THE/MAP|| LAWDORK sticks it to John Aravosis at AMERICABLOG again. Can't we all just get along?

TOAST TO CURT MCKAY!

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.

NEW BILERICO GUEST POST: What the GLAAD Network Report Means

By Ameriqueer
MY NEWEST CONTRIBUTION TO BILERICO; PLEASE VISIT BILERICO.COM FOR THE ENTIRE POST! Yesterday, GLAAD released its Network Responsibility Index report for 2009, ranking the top broadcast and cable networks on their LGBT inclusivity in programming. ABC led the broadcast networks this year with depictions like Ugly Betty 's gay Ken-doll Marc, played by Michael Urie, among other depictions on other shows. HBO led the cable networks with shows like gay-created True Blood , No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency , and Big Love ; with over 42% of programming being LGBT inclusive. We're not surprised that there were so many cable networks that ranked high on the index; #2 Showtime's programming consisted of 24% LGBT-inclusive programming, #3 TNT dedicated 19% of its hours to LGBT-inclusive content, #4 MTV 17% (really, only 17?), and #5 Lifetime—the in-denial fourth gay network—had 14%. This was all while the Network's rankings topped out at ABC's 24% and went down from there to C
