Taking the Good with the Bad in Texas
We take you now to Austin, Texas, for some good news.
Today the City Council of Austin unanimously passed a resolution in support of same-sex marriage, making the capital city the first in Texas to take such a step.
Texas has a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage and civil unions, so the Austin vote doesn’t have much practical effect, but it does send a message that things are changing, even in the Lone Star State.
We keep you now in Austin, Texas, for some bad news.
Last Friday during Austin Pride Nick Soret was ordering pizza from a food truck when another patron repeatedly yelled at him, “What are you looking at?” The guy attacked Soret, so his friend Andrew Oppleman intervened, and got the crap beaten out of him.
That’s the latest from Texas, where you win some, and you lose six teeth.

If homosexuality is a disease, let's all call in queer to work. "Hello, can't work today, still queer."

A Priest, a Minister and a Rabbi Walk Into a Bar . . .
These three guys aren't actors--no doubt about that. They're real members of the clergy, bellying up to the bar to tell fellow Minnesotans to vote against the marriage amendment. I'll drink to that.

Firmly Opposed to Morose Marriage
After the Conventions
The Dems are done in Charlotte.
Here’s a pertinent wrap-up of last night, courtesy of ThinkProgress: “The final night of the Democratic National Convention again featured many celebrations of LGBT equality, not to mention speeches by openly gay individuals such as Reps. Barney Frank (D-MA) and Tammy Baldwin (D-WI). President Obama himself reiterated his support for marriage equality, Vice President Joe Biden condemned intolerance, and many other speakers applauded the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell and other advancements of LGBT equality. In fact, there was a video dedicated entirely to the LGBT community, complete with photographs of pride parades and same-sex couples.”
I guess it’s official: We’re no longer in the Democrats’ closet.
All this is refreshing coming after the Republican National Convention, where the pachyderms approved a platform that a New York Times editorial termed "more aggressive in its opposition to women's reproductive rights and to gay rights than any in memory."
It’s a done deal for me. Vote donkey! A vote for the asses is a good thing!
