As you know, I'm one of the supporters of the DNC boycott launched by Americablog , as my position has been for a long time that money talks. The heavyweight and grassroots donors are appalled, not just with the lack of attention to LGBT civil rights, but the speeding bus now being driven over women and reproductive freedom in the health care reform morass. It's not just the LGBTs affected by the...
Earlier I had readers ponder whether the DNC boycott had merit or would be effective. Well, one measure to decide whether it's a worthy measure is the progress achieved by our own advocacy organizations' checklist of what was referred to as the " low-hanging fruit " that the Obama administration and/or Congress could achieve in short order, right?

And I’m also thinking about how our politicians won’t respond or do anything [...]

Gatecrasher reports on the statement, which reportedly didn't fly: "It turns out that some New Yorkers really can’t take a joke — especially when it’s unspeakably filthy. 'People seemed to not be laughing at his jokes, but more because they...
Again, as with hate crimes legislation, the conventional wisdom on the Hill is that politically, a vote on repeal of this ludicrous policy can't stand on its own, despite massive public support to end the ban on gays and lesbians openly serving in the military. ( Wash Blade ): Frank said in an interview with the Blade that repealing the 1993 law barring gays from serving openly in the military would...
