Action Alert: PA Anti-LGBT Marriage Amendment to be Voted This Week!

A vote on House Bill (HB) 1434 is scheduled for TUESDAY, MARCH 13 in the House State Government Committee. Now is the time to let your voice be heard. HB 1434, proposed by Rep.

That means any discussion of civil[Read More…]

Sinning for marriage!

The truth of the matter, is that the judges did nothing to the vote of seven million voters. The judges looked at the case to determine if the actions were aligned with the constitution or unconstitutional, and they found it to be unconstitutional. It would not have mattered how Prop 8 came into being. If it had been an act of legislation or a referendum vote, it still has to be constitutional. Every law must be constitutional.

Chris Christie: This Is The Bargain Of Your Life! Really?

On one level, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie’s position on Marriage Equality is not surprising given the general position on the issue held by most GOP politicians. What is however, quite striking is the blatant snake-oil salesman-like approach he is taking. I can accept that he is vowing to veto the measure if it makes it to his desk. I don’t like that, but it is him standing up for the position he has said[Read More…]

Drawing the line between same-sex marriage and the other LGBTQ rights issues.

The linked article below is all about a flyer from 2002 Pride that now, the Romney camp is disavowing, but the reality is that Romney’s support for LGBTQ is not that clear. Perhaps like many politicians, he was just out for the votes and trying to portray himself as supportive. In the worst case scenario though this current disavowing is just the failure of a man to show integrity s he fears that many Republican[Read More…]

Fending off competition with homophobia: Christian politics 101?

See any trend here similar to what we are seeing in National politics? The conservative/Christian approach is always to demonize and “other” the gay person, instead of focusing on jobs and thew economy which are the two subjects most important to the majority of voters at every level of government. Their goal is to win, at any cost.

White House responds to N.C. marriage amendment

This president has done more for the LGBTQ community than any previous president, but that really isn’t enough. No president more than Barrack Obama should understand the underlying Civil Rights that are at stake in the battle over Marriage Equality. This is why we expect him to, in the words of Dan Savage, evolve already.

How radical right is PA?

If you didn’t come out and strongly support Democrats in the last election, ask yourself, if things are better for you today, or headed in the wrong direction. Then think carefully about what will happen if we elect a far right radical like Santorum to the presidency.
