  Michael-In-Norfolk - - Coming Out In Mid Life — Authority: 445
  It seems that the gay community continues to mean nothing to the DNC , Barack Obama or Congressional Democrats as demonstrated by their own actions or inaction. And yet they blame bloggers and others for the growing "problem with the gay community." These dimwits ought to take a good look in a mirror if they want ...

• Colbert Takes Gay Marriage Haters Out of the Closet

  
  TakePart Social Action Network — Authority: 577
  Last week the one story that had me fuming more than any other was the one about the Catholic Church saying they would cease their social service programs in Washington D.C. if a same-sex marriage bill is passed there. As someone who was raised in the Catholic Church it sickens me to think that the Church would ...

Want a little reminder that we all need to stand up for what we believe in?  If so you’ll want to meet Will Phillips, an extraordinary 10 year old who has waged a war on his school by refusing to say the pledge of allegiance until gays have the same rights as ...

  vere loqui — Authority: 432
  I am reminded of the scene in the movie "Stripes" in which Bill Murrays character and two friends go into an Army recruitment office for an interview before joining. The recruiter asks whether any of them are homosexuals. "No sir," says Murray, "but were willing to try." One thing you can say about women in ...

• Happy Veterans Day! (Except For The Gays)

  
  Stop Annoying Me — Authority: 121
  I wouldn’t want to get our gay servicemen and women in trouble by acknowledging them. They need to stay in the closet where Jesus and Uncle Sam put them. Remember…“don’t ask, don’t tell”. It used to be “don’t show, don’t tell” because the gay men have a tendency to be showing their junk off all of ...

  Are you frustrated that ten months into the Obama administration, theres still no repeal of "Dont Ask, Dont Tell," no Employment Non-Discrimination Act, no repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act, and no sign that President Obama wants to help defeat statwide ballot measures that seek to repeal gay marriage rights? If ...

• What do straight people have to DO to get thrown out of the military?

  
  Cynthia Yockey, A Conservative Lesbian — Authority: 546
  Let me see if I have this right. To get thrown out of the military, all a gay or lesbian has to do is say, “I’m gay,” any time, anywhere, and out they go. Why, it’s as easy as a traditional Muslim divorce! Or, an envious rival just has to say someone else is gay [...]
