New outing campaign targets black clergy
Activists seek to expose ‘stained-glass closets’
By ANDREW KEEGAN
Friday, September 30, 2005
Fed up with the anti-gay rhetoric of many prominent black clergy, two black gay activists are publicly questioning whether pastoral leaders condemning gays are actually struggling with their own sexual orientation.
Activists and writers Keith Boykin and Jasmyne Cannick kicked off a five-part series, “Outing Black Pastors,” on their respective Web sites Sept. 26.

Schwarzenegger vetoes gay marriage bill
SACRAMENTO (AP) — Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger followed through Thursday on his promise to veto a bill to legalize same-sex marriage in California, saying the issue should be decided by voters or the courts.
"This bill simply adds confusion to a constitutional issue," the Republican governor said in a veto message.
Schwarzenegger had announced his intention on Sept. 7, a day after the Legislature became the first in the country to approve a bill allowing gays and lesbians to wed.

Think Pink--
It seems that the Iowa Hawkeye football team is now taking some heat because their visitor locker room is painted in a lovely shade of PINK. Well I think someone is really making a mountain out of a molehill on this one. The critics are thinking that somehow having a pink locker room is somehow maintaining stereotypes against women and gays. I do not agree with this, and accuse them of being too politically correct. Come on, it's football. It's all part of intimidation for your opponents. Give me a break!

Gay Dollarz--
It seems that our money keeps getting make-overs. They say that it makes it harder to counterfeit; I say they're just trying to make it prettier.
Buying Voters--
I found this very disturbing post from KnowThyNeighbor.org about how the anti-gay right are infesting the Bay State and paying petition signature collectors a buck for each signature. Now it would seem to me that the people of Massachusetts should be able to organize on their own without outside help. But it seems that the great people of MA just don't really get all that worked up about these GAY issues, or do they? I wonder!

Growing up in a large and boisterous Irish-Scottish family, Laura Saunders always knew she wanted to settle down and have children - at least three or four. But it took an awful lot of imagination for a young lesbian to envision such a future.Then she met Ozlem Camli, an émigré from Turkey with intense eyes and a gentle demeanor. They fell in love, bought a handsome colonial in Wethersfield and had two kids. "I see us as an ordinary family," Saunders said.Still, after 11 years together, something was missing.

Ingham County Circuit Judge Joyce Draganchuk said the purpose of a 2004 constitutional amendment was to ban gay marriage and civil unions — not to keep public employers from offering benefits to gay employees.

Protest Coverage--
It seems the media did cover the anti-war protest yesterday. I found this at CNN.com:
Huge rally against Iraq war
And I also watched a couple of stories this afternoon on CNN's Headline News. I also went to CSPAN today and caught some coverage of today's counter protest which supposedly only drew a tenth of yesterday's crowd.
I was wondering about Brandon--
Tigers have `Field day'
Yesterday while tracking the Auburn-W. Kentucky football game over the internet (it was not tv-worthy), I kept wondering why the number two quarterback, Blake Field was playing and not my cutey patootie Brandon Cox. Now I have solved the mystery. It seems that Brandon got sick hours before the game and had to be rushed to the hospital for tests. Turns out that he has a virus. Hopefully he will be well by next Saturday's SEC game against South Carolina. That game is tv worthy and will be on ESPN2 next Saturday at 7:00pm.

- A billion seconds ago, it was 1959.
- A billion minutes ago, Jesus was alive.
- A billion hours ago, our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.
- A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate Washington spends it.

Real world Vs. Bush's world (Mike Barnicle) I am in aisle three of the supermarket, watching a woman choose between a box of store brand Frosted Flakes and the real deal sold by Kellogg. She is holding a child, maybe four years old, with one hand and a cereal box with her left. And she is about to do something that Bush the president is either incapable of doing or figures isn’t necessary: make a budget decision based on common sense and economics.
The President clearly believes everything is possible. We can hemorrhage billions in Iraq, spend billions more to rebuild New Orleans and resurrect our very own Gulf, trim taxes and throw it all on a credit card someone else – our kids – will pay in the decades ahead. This guy, smiling in his rolled up shirtsleeves, has obviously never had to sweat while signing a check for college tuition, sneakers, groceries or to bail out a basement filled with water.

First Katrina came. She cancelled the "gay Mardi Gras" Southern Decadence and almost drowned the entire city of New Orleans. The religious "Nuts" said it was retribution for the gay holiday or because Ellen was hosting the Emmy's last night and it was her hometown.
Now comes Rita! She is taking aim on the city of Key West, everyone's favorite gay resort town. So again I am sure we will be hearing from the religious wingnuts that it is God's punishment on the gays again. I can already hear the drum beat mounting!
