ah, andrew, that is so perfect.

Leah Driscoll is releasing a new song for the Gay Pride and Prop 8 Movements. I want to get in contact with someone who handles the campaigns. Any suggestions?

LOL Marty! Good luck to both Andrea and you. :-D

you have support in Milwaukee; keep fighting!!!!

That's exactly right. But the thing is, "religion", by which people mean Christianity, will always be used as a crutch. i'm not saying Christianity itself is bad, or to blame - but the people who cite it as a defence for discrimination certainly are. The fact is, way back when, Christian people were discriminated against - so the whole "treat ... Read Moreothers how you wish to be treated" moral should be even more poignant. But it isn't. Is it an accident that in order to garner support any presidential candidate is so ready to proclaim Christian belief? Obama himself was called Muslim, as if it were a bad thing to be Islamic, by so many people in the Bible Belt - that is, he was supposedly not Christian, therefore "not representative" and somehow "unsuitable" a candidate. People who have such closed minds and intolerant views are apparently psychologically unable to see that -their own- beliefs are not representative, either; hypocrisy in action. Who wants a piece?

im a christian myself
jesus acted out of love and hated politics.he wouldve never used a proposition to hate people.and he didnt hate people to begin with.therefor christians should be acting out of love and opening their eyes to the wonderful and diverse world around them.

No on 8!!

Hm. I agree in terms of maintaining primary focus on equal marriage rights and rights within marriage (two different but connected things), but why, exactly, should we compartmentalise and focus on only one thing when the real issues are homophobia, heterosexism and heteronormativity, mediated through issues like Prop 8? The fact is, if we divide... Read More...we aren't going to conquer. If we have the focus ONLY on one thing, and then another, people are going to (erroneously) start looking at us and think, "oh, so now you want MORE," or, "haven't we given you what you wanted?" It's not fair, but many people who aren't so into the gay rights thing are quite likely to think exactly that. Maintaining a broader brush and acting in the interests of gay people in more than one or two aspects is an incredibly important thing to keep up with.

It's so great to hear from all of our straight allies out there.

woot! I'm going!

Any religion that thrives on the founding principle of "inherent flaw" (i.e. you're BORN BAD!) is, IMHO, wrong on so many levels that it's not possible to credulously wave it aside. Why claim Christianity? It's a religion based upon death and destruction, as anyone who has actually *read* the Bible would know. If you'd bothered to read the Bible ... Read Moreyou would also know that Jesus (who didn't really exist, historically) was not a bringer of peace and love. Sorry, I just get so pissed when people are like "Oh I'm a Christian but.." as though that gives them some sort of credibility. In my mind that should be the last thing you would advertise - because in truth it makes you look stupid. I don't care what kind of faith you have (retarded as it may be) but don't for one minute think that it gives you some kind of moral authority. Why do you think they hate us so much? Why can't we have equal rights? Why can't we love who we want to love and not be hassled? Why can't I be equal?

oops wrong thread!

Did anyone go to LA Pride?

What someone does in their bedroom is THEIR business!
Period!

Hey folks, when we get a spammer like Trey Marshall, above, you can click on him, and then click on report. Only takes a moment, and maybe it will discourage this stuff. That's a no-no, Trey.

Sacto is awesome. 2 hrs from beach, mountains, and Fresno (family). The delta breeze cools us off at night and we have rivers and lakes IN TOWN to play in. How about you guys?

Roger, was jsut there last Sept..family in Folsom. I do miss the beach, but the Hills are awesome, too! No quakes! lol

Again, don't mean to sound harsh everybody, but next time get out and vote!

And to repeatedly speak out in a repugnant manner is irreproachable.

I say gay people should pay less taxes if they have less rights than straight people. I thought God was supposed to love EVERYONE! And I'm straight.

agree Alice, paying the same taxes for less rights doesn't make sense, not to mention how much we spend on presents for our straight friends weddings ... !!

colleen its been so long sice we have evdn chat girl....whats good homie?

C'mon folks! Stop by and help those hard-working diligent volunteers on the Streets of San Francisco on your lunch break and make a credit card donation! Thanks is okay, but $ are more important 'moral' support!
