Another Unfair Deportation - Obama Needs to Wake UP !

There are thousands of LGBT couples like this one. Some are legally married and some are not. This couple has been for years and should NOT have to suffer something like this.
The immigration department was told they could use discretion to determine each case and they have allowed other LGBT couples stay together only after waiting until the last minute. The stress on the couples and their families has to be horrible and is unnecessary. The immigration department has the power to make a decision before dragging this out and causing so much pain and anguish and Obama has the power to stop the deportation and separation of LEGALLY MARRIED couples.

It is so sad that my life time full of accomplishments, skills, and just being human can be all brushed aside because of one thing that does not affect anyone. I am so tired of being judged on my orientation before everything else.

Dinosaurs Will Send Your Kid To Hell

This is a great example of the ignorance born from those who CHOOSE to hide in one book instead of thinking for themselves and exploring all the other books in the library.
It is this kind of cult thinking that has held history hostage and continues to block the human race from moving toward world peace.
If this was not real, it would be funny.

Curtis Killorn paints dead trees in the mountains of Colorado - Awesome

Curtis Killorn paints dead trees in the mountains of Colorado vivid colors as public art installations. The results are stunning. He says, “Nature is already so beautiful and full of such depth and grace… and it is NOT my intention to mask or enhance it in any way. Much in the way that we paint each other’s skin out in the desert, the intention is to bring out the beauty which is already there.”

Log Cabin (Gay) Republicians Denounce Ann Coulter

The Log Cabin Republicans (LCR) are one of those oddities of the left that I spoke about in "Somewhere in the Extreme Left".
They are the first group to really put themselves out there for ridicule by the LGBT population in that Gay and Republican don't mix.
I have to say that the older I get the more conservative I have become on some issues but not enough the switch teams.
The LRC has it's place and has kept a rather low profile while it does what it does. I have to say that they are still gay , like gays, and are for gays unlike GOProud.
Yesterday the LRC gave this statement;

"Ann Coulter is not a serious part of the conservative movement -- her positions are a throwback and do more harm than anything else. Her remarks endorsing the widely outdated and profoundly harmful idea of 'reparative therapy,' alleging that one can 'pray the gay away,' are not only demeaning to gays and lesbians, but are offensive to all people of faith. While her position on this matter is off base, it is exacerbated by her claim that the armed forces should bring back 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell,' a failed policy which impedes military readiness. Servicemembers who put their lives on the line deserve respect, not such clownish behavior."
-- Clarke Cooper, Executive Director of the Log Cabin Republicans, a gay conservative group, in a press release entitled "Commedienne" Ann Coulter" regarding her appointment as "Honorary Chair" of the advisory board of GOProud, a rival gay conservative group.

Happy Knighthood Sir Patrick Stewart

Not only did Patrick Stewart turn 70 years young but he is now a Knight. He is one of my favorite actors. I have seen just about every film he has made. He has been doing a one man show I wish I could see.
Congratulations Sir Patrick Stewart

Sign the Petition to get Congress to call out false anti-gay testimony

crossposted on Holy Bullies and Headless Monsters In June of this year during a Congressional hearing on the Defense of Marriage Act, Sen. Al Franken exposed Focus on the Family’s Tom Minnery's attempt to inaccurately cite a study to defame same-sex households. Earlier this year during another Congressional hearing on DOMA, National Organization for Marriage’s Maggie Gallagher committed the same distortion – i.e. inaccurately citing a study to defame same-sex households. Gallagher’s group (NOM) has also been called out twice by the Pulitzer Prize winning site Politifact for inaccurate negative statements it has made about the gay community. The Family Research Council was declared as an official anti-gay hate group last year by the Southern Poverty Law Center for its tendency to spread propaganda about the gay community such as gays molest children at a high level and same-sex households harm children. However, the head of the Family Research Council - Tony Perkins - is frequently called as a Congressional witness on many occasions from discussing issues of gay equality to the selection of Supreme Court judges. In addition, there are at least 11 incidents of legitimate researchers and physicians complaining that morality groups such as Focus on the Family and the Family Research Council have specifically and intentionally distorted their work to demonize the gay community. While there is a need for levity and a desire for all sides of issues involving the gay community to be heard, the constant calling upon of these “morality groups” for Congressional testimony in spite of their irregularities mentioned does present a problem in terms resolving the issues of the gay community in a fair manner. Therefore I have created a petition on Change.org asking that if ever these groups are called before Congress again, their testimony be given the highest level of scrutiny because said testimony could fraudulent. To sign the petition (and I highly advise folks to do so), go here. I decided to forgo a press release and let what I've written speak for itself. But allow me to elucidate further. Last year, the Southern Poverty Law Center broke down the lies of the religious right and how they demonize the gay community. Before SPLC's expose, the last time there was a thorough article about the religious right was in 1999 by Rolling Stone magazine. Both exposes (Rolling Stone's and SPLC's) featured almost the same cast of characters and the same accusations of lies. That means that in over 10 years time, the religious right has not altered the lies it tells about the gay community. And this is simply because the gay community has not confronted these so-called morality groups on the level that we should. The purpose of this petition is to garner attention and start a much needed confrontation with religious right groups. Their lies permeate so many aspects of our lives, from our right to marry, to our right to raise families, to our right to freely live with dignity and self-esteem.

From Somewhere in the Extreme Left - Ann Coulter Joins GoProud

From GOProud's press release: and joemygod.com

Coulter’s official title will be “Honorary Chair and Gay Icon.” “Ann Coulter is a brilliant and fearless leader of the conservative movement, we are honored to have her as part of GOProud’s leadership,” said Christopher Barron, Chairman of GOProud’s Board. “Ann helped put our organization on the map. Politics is full of the meek, the compromising and the apologists – Ann, like GOProud, is the exact opposite of all of those things. We need more Ann Coulters.” “I am honored to serve in this capacity on GOProud’s Advisory Council, and look forward to being the Queen of fabulous,” said Coulter.

Coulter opposes same-sex marriage, ENDA, hate crimes laws, the repeal of DADT, and pretty much any LGBT rights legislation. Therefore, she's a perfect fit for the kapos at GOProud.

Every group has it's extremes. Sports, music, religion, Adult Swim, and art all have members that are so far out there that they are the only ones. It is not to say that extremes are bad but they more often go against the grain of what ever "Normal" is.
On the Right we have groups like the KKK, Natzi, and Hate Groups like the American Family Asses and the National Org. for Marriage.
On the Left we have Gay Activist's Dan Savage and Dan Choi. ( I am on the left and both Dan's are my hero's )
Then somewhere in the extreme left there is GoProud.

This group has truly managed to merge the two extremes to create an anomaly. GoProud is a self-hating, Republican, Conservative, gay group. ( I never thought I would have to see all those things with gay in the same sentence.)

While I thought causing a stink at last years CPAC and being uninvited to this years because they were gay was great! They just proved that no matter what you think, do, or feel, they will never want a queer in their circle. They don't buy the whole gay/Republican/Conservative thing either.

Well they have just out done themselves!

They went and welcomed a woman who hates them to be “Honorary Chair and Gay Icon.” !

This is a WTF moment.

I am of the understanding that an icon in this context is that of someone to be looked up to, held in high esteem, or could impart wisdom. Ann Coulter is the extreme opposite of an icon. More like an i-sore as well as a bigot, blowhard, publicity junky who will say or do anything to be in the news. She is NOT to be confused with a "Fag Hag" because Fag Hags love gays and are way more fun.

The only thing they have in common is the self hating/Republican/Conservative part.

But then as much as she hates us LGBTs.....Hmmmmmmm.

The two things you shouldn't like about Michele Bachmann - her face

From Alvin McEwen of Holy Bullies and Headless Monsters come this truth. Thank you Mr. McEwen

U.S. Representative and presidential candidate Michele Bachmann seems to be "stomping with the big dogs" these days. Recently, she had cover story featured on her in Newsweek magazine. Between you and me though, I think she and her followers are going to be angry at the photo. What is she looking at?

But now Bachmann seems to be tempering off on certain issues. Several sources report that she is allegedly sliding away from the subject of gay marriage, which is strange seeing that her opposition to it helped propel her in the spotlight:

From the Concord Monitor:

“Bachmann cut off an interview last week as she was being asked a question about gay marriage and emphasized that she is focused on rebuilding the economy and repealing federal health care reform.

“I’m not involved in light, frivolous matters,” she said. “I’m not involved in fringe or side issues. I’m involved in serious issues.”

If Bachmann thinks the subject of gay marriage is so frivolous then why did she sign two anti-gay marriage pledges - the recent one being from the National Organization for Marriage.

And why is she participating in a bus tour with NOM across Iowa?

And I haven't even touched her audacity to declare her husband's fraudulent "ex-gay" clinic to be off-limits. Bachmann based this on the notion that "she, and not her husband, is running for president."

It's funny that this notion of "family members being off limits" didn't keep her from slamming First Lady Michele Obama during the 2008 campaign

There is no other way to put it.

Bachmann is a lying, manipulative individual whose behavior reflects the worse of American politics. Throughout history, America has been lucky to have statesmen and women represent us in the White House and Congress. Folks like Dwight Eisenhower, Franklin Roosevelt, Ted Kennedy, Bella Abzug, Jack Kemp, Shirley Chisolm, and Barbara Jordan.

And then we've also had loudmouth, egocentric demagogues not caring who they hurt or what levels of hypocrisy they've stooped to. We've had individuals feeding off of anger and fear and shoveling resentment into the minds of voters with the expediency of a laborer shoveling coal into a furnace to stave off the chill of a wintery day.We've had folks who will lie in our faces while aware of the fact that we know that they are lying, but hoping that the phony sincerity in their voices or their eyes will mesmerize us from the truth.

Michele Bachmann not only fits the latter category, but she sets new heights.

Or rather, lower depths.

Bachmann is a colossal joke, but if the American people continue to propel her career forward, the joke will be on us.
