Same-sex marriage rallies stretch across nation.
Yeah, demonstrations baby! We must become more firm in our demands. Polite Discussions are not cutting it. Gay Marriage is a CIVIL RIGHTS ISSUE. And civil rights cannot be successfully put to a public vote. It took Lincoln's executive order to free the slaves, and something similar will need to free us.
California Proposition 8 Passes.
Unfortunately, along with the ecstacy of electing Barack Obama as our next president, the gay community has been put down hard in California, negating their recent successful same sex marriages. It was a black election day for the gay community, with anti-gay legislation passing in 4 states. The only solution to this madness is for the President to enact an Executive Order ending ALL discrimination against gays. Every time anti-gay laws are put up to a popular vote, we lose. It doesn't work. As when Lincoln ended slavery, discrimination against us must be ended in the same way. The people cannot seem to bring themselves to vote for Civil Rights, unfortunate and sad, but true.
Thousands of Gay Veterans Families Experience Discrimination & Hardship!
Gay retired military families and veterans cannot share their medical insurance and other benefits with their partners and children, like straight vets can. This imposes great hardship on gay families. We have a long way to go towards equality. Something needs to be done now! BARACK... LISTEN TO US AND FIX IT... PLEASE!!! (Comment in our BLOG)
As of Feb. 4, 2008, the Domestic Partnership Law for same sex couples in Oregon is going into effect. The haters plan on challenging and appealing into infinity I suppose, but for now we're good to go. There was no legislation against us in Oregon this election...a small victory.
Judge Placed Oregon Domestic Partnership Law On Hold Read for yourself, we've been screwed over again. God bless Bush's America. (Feb. 4: For now, the judge lifted the hold on the law, and it's going into effect despite the out of state anti-gay group pressure.)
Anti Gay Marriage Groups Fail To Gather Enough Signatures in Oregon! Anti-gay marriage groups in Oregon failed to gather enough signatures to stop two bills supporting gay families. The two bills passed by the legislature will go into law January 1, 2008, and put into place domestic partnership rights nearly equal to marriage, plus make it illegal to discriminate against gays and lesbians in Oregon, in the work place, housing, etc. The anti gay groups, largely supported by out of state anti gay marriage groups, were trying to put the measures on the ballot this November, but they failed to gather enough signatures. Way to go Oregonions! You're beginning to "get it!" Since the Republicans have so over-played their gay marriage "hot button" issue, I believe people in this country are beginning to wize up to the hate mongering political tactics designed to distract voters from the important issues.
Gay couple tie knot in first Mexico City civil unions! (Click for News Article) (Lambda Editorial)
We think that this is pretty much the last straw. But will it break the "camel's back?" The "camel" being the extremely conservative value-imposing Bush administration. Now even macho Mexico City has legalized Civil Unions! And here we sit, the Victorian United States across the border, still hanging on to the antiquated idea that homosexuals are "Sinners." We simply can't wait for the Democrats to win the Presidential election in 2008.
WE ENDORSE DEMOCRATS IN 2008!!!

DON'T be FOOLED BY Giuliani...!!! Like most Republicans, he's a WOLF IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING, AND TALKS OUT OF THE SIDE OF HIS MOUTH! Typical Lawyer, Typical Politician, he's just like Bush... makes nice like your best buddy, then stabs you in the back! Look at the transcript at CNN.com of his interview on Larry King on Feb. 14, 2007. When Larry asked him about being Pro-Gay, he backpedaled so he'd look more like a Republican, and said point blank that IF TOO MANY STATES ACTED LIKE MASSACHUSETTS, THEN HE WOULD SUPPORT AN ANTI-GAY MARRIAGE U.S. CONSTITUTIONAL AMMENDMENT! What an ASS! He said he supports some kind of "Domestic Partnership", he wouldn't even say "Civil Union". If he was elected as U.S. President, you probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference between him and Bush on Gay issues. The Republicans HATE GAYS... AND IF THEY DON'T, YOU COULD FOOL ME! Rudy Giuliani is a Republican, don't let him trick you into voting for him, because he WOULD NOT HELP THE GAY AND LESBIAN CAUSE! DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES ALL THE WAY IN 2008, BABY!
Happy Days Are Here Again...!!! As exclaimed on one of our favorite gay websites, GAYELLOWPAGES.COM. The Democrats have enormously more power now after the 2006 midterm elections. Democrats now control both the House and Senate in the U.S. Congress. Obviously, this has to be a good thing for gays and lesbians. The only thing better would be a Democratic President in 2008! So hold your Democratic lesgislators to the fire. They MUST accomplish what the public expects after the election, or Democrats will be out on their ears again in 2008. Tell them what you want, let them know when they're getting lazy. This relates to not only gay issues, but everything else! Helping the middle class with affordable health care and a lower cost of living, higher wages, etc. Getting OUT of Iraq! Democrats must deliver in the next 2 years!!!
ACTION ALERT!!! (Lambda Editorial) 2008 Presidential Election nearing 2 years away, start registering to vote now, get involved, and write, email, or call your senators and representatives! It's NOT TOO EARLY! We need a Democratic party President in 2008. As long as republicans run the show, we will only see things get worse for us. We and the environment need the Democrats to be in power, not only in the Presidency, but in BOTH THE SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES IN WASHINGTON D.C! Al Gore thinks we only have 10 years to turn global warming around, or it will be too late. I believe him. It's too bad more people didn't believe him in 2000. Apparently, both Ireland and Italy now allow gay marriage! So with the conservative, fanatically religious republicans in power... WE WILL NEVER, I SAID NEVER, have gay marriage in this country. The voting margain in last 2 presidential elections has been slim, so if gays and lesbians just get involved, we should be able to tip the scales in the Democrats favor. Democrats are not perfect, but they are SOOOOO much better for us than republicans. Vote Democratic straight across your local ballot also so we can give a Democratic president the power he or she needs to get things done the right way. We need the Log Cabin Republicans to change political parties, how in the world can gay activists be republicans anyway?! That's definitely an oxymoron. Speaking of morons... the people in this country better wake up or we're going to end up speaking Chinese as our primary language and we won't even GET to vote any more.
Elton Gets Married!!! In a bold move England has legalized same sex partnerships. They, along with many other nations, have beat the U.S. to equal rights for gays and lesbians. We as a nation should be ashamed, and wake up to this human rights tragedy in our own land of "Freedom". The U.S.A. is now officially more "Victorian" & Straight-laced (literally!) than our forefathers in Great Britain! We truly need our gay & lesbian brethren in show business & politics to stand up & make some serious demands of our politicians on our behalf!
LAMBDA EDITORIAL: Well... Bush is at it again with the Amendment to Ban Gay Marriage. It is getting OLD, isn't it?! What a LAME duck, and being from Oregon, I'm sorry to the ducks for comparing him to them! Please email, mail, or call your congressman yet again imploring them NOT to vote for this embarrasing piece of hateful crap!
LAMBDA KUDO: KUDOS!!! to Ellen and Elton for openly discussing gay marriage on her show! Way... TO... GOOOOOO!!!!!! wE LOVE YA!!!
LAMBDA EDITORIAL: We resent so called "Family" religious political groups whose only agenda is to prevent gay marriage in the name of "God". Their "Family" groups spend their lives condemning our Love & Commitment. We suggest to them that they might spend their lives instead working to fight world famine and war. We think they have their priorities askew, think about it... they are trying to stop us from peaceful activities such as loving one another and commiting to our families, while they condone the Bush administration's activities in Iraq killing people and destroying... things. They usually ignore the famine and AIDS in Africa, spending their energy on trying to stop us from being... well... what we already are, gay & lesbian loving families. You would think that Christians would want to foster love and families, and to help sick and starving people. When did that get all turned around and mixed up? We think when the Republicans & Religious Right got together. We knew there was a reason that our forefathers wrote in the Constitution to separate church and state! :-) - "The Editor"
Lambda Editorial: REPUBLICANS DON'T CARE IF...
  • The Chinese leaders visit Bill Gates before they visit our President
  • Your sons, daughters, brothers, and sisters die every day in Iraq with inferior protective equipment (Notice not too many of Republican leaders' sons and daughters are serving in Iraq in our military.)
  • Your grandchildren die from a lack of oxygen in the earth's atmosphere
  • We all pay $10 a gallon for gasoline
  • Gay couple's children are persecuted in their schools
  • Gay people are killed by skinheads
  • The common middle class working family doesn't have enough money to have proper medical, dental, or vision care... pay their taxes... retain their good credit rating... buy a nice house, etc.... Republican leaders only care if they themselves, their cronies, and big business have money for those things... and yachts, and summer homes on the beach, and Cadillacs, and Hummers...
  • People starve and die from no medical care every day IN THIS COUNTRY
WAKE UP AMERICA!!! Republicans are giving our precious country away, and have NO CONCERN ABOUT THE FUTURE OF OUR COUNTRY AND THE NATIONAL DEBT OF OUR CHILDREN! If you are Christian, you might not be able to practice your religion the way things are going. Do you think the Chinese will let you practice Christianity when they take over our country? Just because a president or political party SAYS they are Christian, does not mean that they are... and it does not mean that you should blindly support a polital party just because they have embraced the extreme religious politican right. All things in moderation... this country is not moderate any more. Or tolerant... or loving... This country does not behave like Jesus would...

"The Clergy Corner"
A Column of Inspiration from a Friend in the Clergy!
Column by Revd Edward J. Ingebretsen, FCC
"The Meaning of Commitment"
Private love has public consequences. What is it we do at a commitment ceremony? Something new, perhaps, unique to two persons, although not really. Any act of love, made public, teaches everyone who witnesses it a hard lesson each of us must learn over and over. Love desires to be spoken. Like God, in creation, love endures all things save silence. The world we... Read More
CONGRATS TO ALL OF US FOR ELECTING BARACK OBAMA AS PRESIDENT IN 2008!
Canada Approves Same-sex Marriage! In a bold move on June 28, 2005, Parliament passed a law legalizing same-sex civil marriage. Our northern friends have shown us the way. They also have a very low crime rate. I think we have a lot to learn from Canada, and it's a great slap in Bush's face. We also believe that Bush and our Legislators, and his cabinet, should all have one if their relatives join as enlisted recruits, and fight in the war in Iraq. Then, and only then, should we continue the war in Iraq.
