I have to tell you that over the course of several years as I have talked to friends and family and neighbors when I think about members of my own staff who are in incredibly committed monogamous relationships, same-sex relationships, who are raising kids together, when I think about those soldiers or airmen or marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf and yet feel constrained, even now that ‘Don’t Ask Don’t Tell’ is gone, because they are not able to commit themselves in a marriage, at a certain point I’ve just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married…
Just a few reasons why you should vote for Barack Obama in 2012.
So Bonnie Raitt.
I love her. I love everything about her.
But what I love most about her is that she comes back and does a video for the first time in over a decade and she has lesbian and gay couples in her video.
Coming back with a bang indeed.
PS. I am SO glad she’s back.
The media-driven stereotype of the LGBT community is largely of an affluent white community. The well turned out men of Queer Eye putting you in fancy clothes, decor and food. Will rooming with Grace in a Manhattan apartment. A trendy liberal in the Castro neighborhood of San Francisco. To the degree that society wants to think about homosexuals, they want gay to mean happy and fabulous. This isn’t the reality for many, especially LGBT youth from poor urban communities. It’s a sad fact that Black Protestant and Hispanic Catholic parents are often less accepting of homosexuality, leaving these kids in a bind. A few recent films have attempted to shine a light on this reality, though as one director noted, often reduced by distributors to “urban niche” (urban meaning Black and niche meaning LGBT) and not likely to have broad appeal.
I miss my school.
Holy. shit.
I can’t even begin to describe how much I enjoyed myself last night.
Okay that’s a lie I can.
I really fucking enjoyed myself last night.
In the time span that I was there (four hours) I had two Absolute drinks (a total of $6), danced with three girls and got to meet up with a friend and made four new friends.
One of these friends included a gay boy from Australia whose name was also Jordan.
Oh yeah did I mention that I also found $7 on the ground. Proceeded to get a cab back to campus and my cab fare was $8. So I basically paid $1 for my cab.
Even though I’m leaving in a few hours I’m totally glad that some last hours I had were spent at Phase 1. If you are 21+ and a gay lady (or not) GO THERE. Seriously. So great.
Ps. Make sure you get there early. The line was a pain in the ass. Out there for 30 minutes in the cold but it felt like an hour.
Washington state has legalized same-sex marriage. Washington’s legislature passed a bill legalizing same-sex marriage Wednesday by a 55-43 vote, making Washington the 7th state to do so.
Gov. Chris Gregoire says she will sign the legislation into law next week.
Washington joins Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, and Vermont (and Washington D.C.) in granting marriage licences to same-sex couples.
State Rep. Jamie Pedersen (D-Seattle), who is gay, spoke on behalf of the approved bill:
“I would like for our four children to grow up understanding that their daddy and their poppa have made that kind of a lifelong commitment to each other. Marriage is the word that we use in our society to convey that idea.”
Congratulations!

Here’s the breakdown of what you need to know:
Today’s ruling:
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 vote that Prop 8 is not constitutional. This affirms Judge Vaughn Walker’s earlier ruling that Prop. 8 violated the U.S. Constitution by denying rights to a certain group of people.
“Although the Constitution permits communities to enact most laws they believe to be desirable, it requires that there be at least a legitimate reason for the passage of a law that treats different classes of people differently,” the justices wrote in the decision. “There is no such reason that Prop 8 could have been enacted.”
What’s next:
Expect an appeal from the opposition shortly. The case will either go to the full 9th Circuit (only 3 ruled Tuesday), or it will head directly to the Supreme Court on appeal. The Supreme Court would look at the case, at the earliest, next term, if they even decide to take the case.
Does this mean same-sex can now marry in California:
No. A stay is likely to be put on marriages. In addition, an appeal would prevent marriage from occurring.

Truly the most mind-blowing music video I have ever seen.
This will be in my head all night and possibly tomorrow.
Fearless a photography series by artist Jeff Sheng
In 2003, I began a photography project called “Fearless,” documenting high school and collegiate athletes who openly self-identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender and are “out” to their predominantly straight teammates and coaches. Since then, I’ve photographed over 100 athletes across the United States and Canada for this series.

i know a lot of people don’t think obama achieved much in his term, but i would much rather have someone who can speak publicly about this kind of stuff than not. really cool.
plus, the republican candidates are a bunch of bafoons. and i’m not just saying that. they literally are crazy.
It angers me that a lot of people in this community decided to vote for the Republican party during the midterm elections in order to “get back” at President Obama because he hadn’t passed gay marriage federally.
Here’s a fact sheet about what President Obama’s done.
Here’s the “It Gets Better” video page that includes multiple videos from his administration.
Don’t try to tell me that my President doesn’t care about our community. Representative Nancy Pelosi who was one of the highest women and LGBT allies in his administration lost her position during the midterm elections because people decided to punish President Obama. By doing that you’ve proceeded to put the exact people in charge who don’t want to give the LGBT community in charge. And what have they done? Blocked and prevented President Obama from doing other things in this country. As a matter of fact every single Republican candidate right now that’s running for President has said that they will repeal DADT as soon as they get into office.
I’m voting for President Obama again in November because I believe in creating progress and equality for our community.
Hopefully you’ll do the same.

Thanks nominated Republicans for making me feel this way.
In the course of 3 minutes, we went from being ahead to being about 1,000 votes behind…
Keep spreading the word, and telling more and more people about this poll.
your vote can make a difference

I feel like watching it but I don’t have it on my computer anymore!
