GLBTQ respondents needed! https://survey.ecu.edu/perseus/se.ashx?s=0B87A6564C98BB99 My name is Alora Brackett, and I am a sociology major at East Carolina University. I am working with Dr. David Knox on a study that seeks to compare secrets in romantic relationships of same-sex and opposite-couples. We really need GLBT...Q respondents for the study! I appreciate your time and your assistance. The survey is anonymous and only takes about 15-20 minutes to complete. Email me on facebook or at aab0208@ecu.edu with any questions.Read More

No. While this clause may be important, there are too many pressing gay rights issues to fight for, such as equal rights, and repeal of dont as and dont tell of DOMA. Almost every state still has some kind of legal discrimination, as well as the Federal government. Thats where we need to prioritze. Not on who pays for abortion, or what some girl wants to wear in her senior picture

Rep Edolphus Towns' office says he will vote against this life-threatening amendment. Ok, I said life-threatening (as a retired RN in labor & delivery and 1st trimester abortion clinic, and as a public health worker). Hard to get through to the switchboard; I rang 2 different numbers for more than 15 rings before I got an operator. But if you care about the lives and health of women, please call and keep calling.

Not enough of us are showing our joy and pride over this resolution. In fact, many of us don't even know about it! The main stream media has downplayed it. Its a HUGE accomplishment. This is the first step in a changing tide. The evil opposition is starting to lose support, and lose money

Our next step should be to repeal DOMA in Washington state! And to help places like Iowa which may be up for a vote next. Go to One Iowa!

Punched in the gut one more time, just like in CA. I will never understand the hate people have in their hearts.
