ACT On Principles » Hate Crimes Bill A Victory?

ACT On Principles » Hate Crimes Bill A Victory? . . . . . This is a fascinating 'op-ed' perspective on 'the gay agenda', 'the gay question', 'the gay movement', or lack thereof.  The fact that there are extensive questions and response by the author and readers provides even more insight on the written issues.  It deserves a good read and some discussion as well.

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs still giving odd non-committal answers about repealing DADT

Image by cena carioca via Flickr

The following has been clipped from the Americablog Gay dated 16 September 2009 _________________________

At what point does Admiral Mullen actually have to start following President Obama's orders, and not the other way around? And when exactly will President Obama be moving ahead on this strategy to repeal DADT? After health care reform is done? But then we'll be doing Wall Street Reform. And next year is the congressional elections, and we've already been told to forget gay stuff that year. So when will be a good time to set our people free? SLDN is pissed, and rightly so.

TK: What is it with this admiral? Is he senile, waterlogged, arrogant, or just plain dumb?  Perhaps the earwigs have gotten to what little brain matter he has?  Then again, isn't the military supposed to stay clear and above the political fray, as are the religious establishments?

Now If Only The Pope Would Do The Same: We're Sorry !

The following  has been clipped from a number of sources, including The Bilerico Project Report posted 12 September 2009.

"While [mathematician Alan Turing] was dealt with under the law of the time and we can't put the clock back, his treatment was of course utterly unfair and I am pleased to have the chance to say how deeply sorry I and we all are for what happened to him. Alan and the many thousands of other gay men who were convicted as he was convicted under homophobic laws were treated terribly. Over the years millions more lived in fear of conviction. . . .

"So on behalf of the British government, and all those who live freely thanks to Alan's work I am very proud to say: we're sorry, you deserved so much better."

--British Prime Minister Gordon Brown

HOPE and HISTORY

clipped from the September 2009 Advocate, pages 54 - 59. ________________________________________________________ OF INTEREST . . . As a candidate Barack Obama promised us [the GLBTQ community] a lot; as president he's delivered very little -- and many gay people are getting impatient. OF NOTE . . . . . . . Does the outcry unmask this president's indifference -- or reveal our own impotence as a movement? OF COURSE . . . . Your opinion counts. Click on the word "comments" in the section that appears below to register your opinion: a simple Indifference or Impotence will suffice.
