Backers of Ariaona gay marriage measure raise $6.9 million  »  gay blog
Supporters of a measure that would change Arizona's constitution to ban gay marriage have raised $6.9 million, 17 times more than the other side, according to figures released Thursday. Supporters of Proposition 102 say the money they've gotten signifies broad support against gay marriage among Arizonans. Opponents of the ban say the measure is a waste of time and money, considering the state voted down a similar measure in 2006 and that gay marriage already is illegal in Arizona.

Arizona Needs Your Help  »  Box Turtle Bulletin
Remember the state that became the first in the nation to defeat a so-called “marriage amendment” in 2006? Arizona desperately needs your help today in 2008: Supporters of a measure that would change Arizona’s constitution to ban gay marriage have raised $6.9 million, 17 times more than opponents have raised, according to figures released Thursday. Arizona became the first state in the nation to defeat the so-called marriage amendment in 2006. Today, our opponents are furious that they lost, and they are pouring millions of dollars into the state to upset the will of the voters. They threatened and coerced the ...

When Mr. Biden met Mrs. Nasty  »  Hikaruland
Well, that was a debate!90 minutes and she didn't answer any questions.Like a robot with a beehive.Still enjoyable.While we were all supposedly (given the hype surrounding it) interested in seeing how Mrs. Nasty performed, I found myself more impressed by Biden. Granted, I was already in his column, but he informed me more about his abilities and qualities--as well as Obama's*--during this debate than in any coverage I had seen about him previously.* I think better than Obama himself, actually.The debate seemed to suggest that we were moving into a new America, but when Gwen Ifill asked both candidates about ...

Jen's watching the debate. I've got an ear on it, but I'm kind of terrified someone will crash and burn. Whether that's good or terrible for my candidate, I don't enjoy watching people squirm and fuck up. Oh. They just asked about same sex benefits. Damn, hadn't realized my civil rights were still an issue of concern. I thought no one gave a shit about me. Ahh...and they don't after all. Everyone agrees that gay marriage is weird and creepy and not allowed. Awesome. ...

Prop 8: Ad vs Ad  »  WOW Report

Gay Partner At U.N. Ignored By U.S.  »  Ron's Log
Richard Grenell has been spokesperson for the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations for more than seven years, making him the longest-serving spokesperson for the U.S. Ambassador ever. Grenell is gay and has a partner, Matt Lashey. They are not married because they are residents of New York [when does the NY law take effect, recognizing Massachusetts, Canadian and California marriages?]. Grenell has been trying to get his partner listed in the United Nations' Blue Book for four years. Since the White House treats Grenell's partner on an equal basis as others' spouses, he thought that there wouldn't ...

The Right Side  »  Box Turtle Bulletin
Writing in the Ventura Star, Republican columnist Scott Harris raises what I think is a most convincing argument as to why a voter should oppose Proposition 8 (and other anti-gay marriage amendments). Among his list of eight reasons, he provides It is easy to say that I would have supported interracial marriage if I were old enough to have lived through the then-controversy. In years to come, when the same-sex issue has faded to all but historical irrelevance, I want to be able to tell my grandchildren that I was there, publicly supporting those who needed the support. It will ...

The Mysterious Case of the Invisible Homo-Bigotry  »  Fannie's Room
Back in July, Jennifer Roback Morse wrote a column about the gay rights advocates who dared to boycott companies who support Proposition 8. While I take issue with much of her letter, which includes calling people seeking equality "gay rights radicals" and sarcastically calling a pro-Proposition 8 company a "big meanie," I especially take issue with this statement:"For many of us, gay marriage isn't a referendum on gay people. It is about the meaning of marriage. Advocates of marriage as a union of a man and a woman do not hate gay people." (emphasis added)See that last bit there, ...

NH lawmakers face more debate over gay marriage  »  gay blog
CONCORD, N.H. - New Hampshire lawmakers will be debating at least two bills dealing with gay marriage when they return to Concord in January. Portsmouth Democrat Jim Splaine, who sponsored the state’s winning civil unions law, is now backing a bill to legalize gay marriage. He says winning enough votes will be tough but he thinks the conversation needs to start. Meanwhile, Deputy Republican Leader David Hess is sponsoring a proposed repeal of part of the civil unions law. He wants to strike out the language that recognizes another state’s same sex marriage as a civil union in New ...

From Ellen's official website:"My Political Point… And I Do Have OneYou know how usually I talk about cell phones or kitty cats or cheese pizza… well, this is sorta like that… without the cell phones, the cats, or the pizza.There’s a California Proposition on the ballot that’s a little confusing. It’s Proposition 8. It’s called, “The California Marriage Protection Act” — but don’t let the name fool you. It’s not protecting anyone’s marriage. Not yours. Not mine.The wording of Prop 8 is tricky. It’s like if someone asked you, “You don’t want dessert, right?” But you do want dessert ...
