Biggest Tuesday since the last Biggest Tuesday

November 4th, 2009 2 Comments

People shouldn’t care about voting in off-years, right? Tell that to Maine voters who gay marriage shouldn’t be allowed; or upper New York Republicans voting with a Democrat that was more in line with their values; or recently blue Virginia wondering how blue they wanted to be. Yesterday’s results may not have wide ramifications for [...]

The Gay Generational Divide

June 22nd, 2009 1 Comment

Generation Y has two presidents to reference: Bush and Obama. Clinton was only relevant to us once Lewinsky came in, and at that point it was all about a show rather than a president. Our idea of what politics and activism is and can do is founded in these two seemingly polar-opposite presidents. In particular, [...]

Has Gay Marriage hit the Tipping Point?

June 18th, 2009 No Comments

According to Malcolm Gladwell’s busy brain, there is a point in a trend or movement where there it becomes, in a sense, a pandemic.

The Obama administration has made significant overtures to the LGBT community, such as giving them valuable face-to-face time and outlining their proposed approach to “don’t ask-don’t tell” and [...]

500 Words On: The Fall of (Opposite) Marriage

May 20th, 2009 No Comments

Thank you, Miss California, for coining the term of the year. Opposite marriage, referring to the “a man and a woman” kind, needed the PR boost. Possibly life support.
Studies and trends are casting doubt on the future of the institution. The rate at which women have children out of wedlock has doubled in the last [...]

Republicans revamping their message

May 6th, 2009 No Comments

The GOP may finally be realizing they need to wrong their ways. Unfortunately, it’s only surface deep.
Steve Schmidt, the chief strategist of John McCain’s presidential campaign, is trying to convince the elephants that not a lot of people lose sleep over gay marriage. In a time when financial crises, national and personal, take up most [...]

Perez vs. Miss California

April 22nd, 2009 No Comments

In case you have been under a pile of newspapers (you still read those? what are you, from 2002?) or spend time on other things, like taking care of your children or having a job, then you might have missed the “story” of the moment.
