massa and his parting "gift"  »  Grim Amusements
Former Navy officers who served with Rep. Eric Massa say he 'groped' subordinates on ship BY Richard Sisk DAILY NEWS WASHINGTON BUREAU Sunday, March 14th 2010, 4:00 AM WASHINGTON - Eric Massa left behind several political gifts for Republicans in his loopy exit from the House, including a line of attack for opponents of gays serving openly in the military. Rep. Massa, an upstate Democrat, resigned his seat after admitting to "inappropriate" behavior with young male aides - groping and unwanted advances, the complaints alleged - that he described as a carry-over from his days as a career Navy officer. Then ...

Kenship: Most conny of the social cons love them some VA AG  »  Good As You
You know Ken Cuccinelli, the Virginia Attorney General who just requested that his state's public colleges and universities rescind any and all policies that ban discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation? Yea, well -- despite only being in the AG office for a few months, Ken seems to have really endeared himself to the far, far right. Why do we say this? Well, because this is the invited guest list for an upcoming Liberty University/Freedom Federation event: Summit 2010 [FF] And beyond just this list, summit affiliates/exhibitors include the Family Research Council (whose spokesman has called for ...

Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty on Military Gay Ban: 'If It's Not Broke, Don't Fix It'  »  Towleroad, a premium blog for modern gay men
Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty, a potential GOP candidate for President in 2012, appeared on Meet the Press this morning and was asked briefly about "Don't Ask, Don't Tell".MR. GREGORY: What about "don't ask, don't tell"? Should it be repealed? GOV. PAWLENTY: I support "don't ask, don't tell." And, you know anecdotally--I saw the general's comments in response to that. Anecdotally, I know there's still a great number, a great portion of the military community that is concerned about that. They believe "don't ask, don't tell" worked. If it's not broke, don't fix it--or if it's not, it's not ...

Watch: Wingnut Brigade Presser in Support of Military Gay Ban  »  Towleroad, a premium blog for modern gay men
Via HRC Backstory comes this video from today's CPAC conference. A group of right-wingers led by their fearless wingnut leader Elaine Donnelly had a press conference to rally against repeal of the military's failed "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. Donnelly, along with Tom Minnery, Vice President, Public Policy, Focus on the Family, Tony Perkins, President, Family Research Council, David Keene of the American Service Union, Penny Nance of the Concerned Women for America, and Retired Admiral James Lyons presented their bigoted arguments (that according to all the latest reports have no basis in reality) in support of the ...

Unfortunately military bias is not what they're giving up for Lent  »  Good As You
This from HRC's Michael Cole: Tomorrow the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) kicks off in Washington DC and some of the right-wingers involved are coming together to argue against a repeal of the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” law that denies patriotic Americans the ability to openly serve their country. Among those participating will be: -Elaine Donnelly, President, Center for Military Readiness (you may remember her for a, shall we say, lackluster performance before the U.S. House last year) -Tom Minnery, Vice President, Public Policy, Focus on the Family (he praised Donnelly for that Congressional testimony, saying that ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ was “last gasp ...

Bias is apparently kosher: Don't Ask, Don't Kibbitz edition  »  Good As You
Oh goodie, Yehuda Levin's back to once again blame gays for 9/11, Katrina, and now Haiti. This time via the armored vehicle that is Don't Ask Don't Tell: Elaine Donnelly sure finds support in extremist places. But no, she's probably right. It surely is us fairness-seeking gay folk who are the truly "militant" ones, not her base of anti-gay followers who like to blame us for terrorist acts and natural disasters [::writer must have a DADT policy on his eyes, as there's no way he could ever camouflage the derision intended to be conveyed via their rolling::]. ...
