Social conservatives are known for their tireless efforts to prevent same-sex marriage. Recently, Mike Huckabee told reporters that gay marriage was opening the doors to “legalizing drugs, polygamy and incest”.
Huckabee also noted that legalizing gay marriage would be difficult because “They have to prove that two men can have an equally definable relationship called marriage, and [...]

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. It rushes through society at a much faster speed than ever before, and, due to complex or unknown causes, it changes everything around it. This is called the tipping point, similar [...]

LGBT group call Obama on DOMA Brief
June 15th, 2009 No Comments
Responding to a politically inarticulate (i.e. offensive) brief issued by the Obama administration in defense of the Defense of Marriage Act, The Human Rights Campaign is raising hell.
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

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.
Last week it was Susan Boyle (the British lady with the [...]
