As much as we do not want to see that sort of thing in a library and no matter how much we hate it, without freedom of speech we would not be where we are today. We must win our fight by logical argument and not repression. As a very wise woman (M...

Palimony by Another Name

Anyone read the article in Sunday's edition of the St Petersburg Times about Martina Navratilova being sued by her ex lover? The ex cannot sue for alimony or palimony in the state of Florida, so in her lawsuit she is calling the relationship a business partnership.

I wonder how, if at all, this will influence same sex relationship rights?

GLBT people, Islams, and Christians.. Hmm

Iran is permitting a woman to marry a trans man.

A couple of months ago, I saw this article about two teens that were hung for the "crime" of homosexuality in Iran.

http://www.ukgaynews.org.uk/Archive/2005july/2101.htm

It's interesting to me that Islamic law finds trans people religiously OK, but applies the death penalty to homosexuality.

Iran's attitudes are a contrast to those in the U.S, where I tend to think trans people have a ha… Continue

Arizona pastor’s sermons call for execution of gays, Barney Frank and the President

http://pandagon.net/index.php/site/comments/arizona_pastors_sermons_call_for_execution_of_gays_barney_frank_and_the_pre/


Outrageous hatred and bigotry in the name of the Bible is alive and well. Move over Fred Phelps.


In the interest of knowing the enemy, I watched a little of the video of this nut's rant "The Truth About the Sodomites", and clicked "listen to here" and heard part of his sermon on "Why I Hate Barack Obama" (I didn't get to the part where he called for Obama's execution, but… Continue

Ted Olson, David Boise, and the Road to Equality.

When I first read that Ted Olson and David Boies were teaming up in a Federal lawsuit taking on Proposition 8, it sounded like happy if unexpected news.

Then, I read about two of my favorite champions for GLBT rights - the NCLR & ACLU - having the opinion that this was NOT happy news. The time isn't right yet. If the lawsuit is lost, it will set equality back.

Recently, I've read that the big GLBT rights groups wanted to join Ted Olson & David Boies in the lawsuit. Understandable since… Continue

Library asked to stock 'ex-gay' literature

http://www.pinknews.co.uk/news/articles/2005-13617.html

A group called the Christian Civil Liberties Union is accusing a library in Wisconsin of not permitting diversity because it does not include anti-gay literature. Here, the conecpt of Civil Liberty is twisted around to include the freedom to promote hatred against a minority, and diversity to include "ideals" of exclusivnesss. Go figure, but narrow minds can squeeze into narror places.
