""I give you my word," he looked into my eyes and said. "President Barack Obama will be a friend to gay people." I remembered hearing those same words from David Mixner, Bill Clinton's gay campaign advisor, at a D.C. gay rights demonstration in 1991. Don't drink the Kool-Aid again, a voice in my head warned me." - Chuck LeDuc Díaz from Bookmarklet

I keep telling myself that the only thing that matters is who President Obama nominates to the Supreme Court. It is scant comfort. - Chuck LeDuc Díaz

that's a good point, Chuck. - mjc

"Queer issues will never be as important to most of my friends and family as they are to me. But now I'm not going to hesitate to ask for help, and if that turns out to be a problem, it will be short-lived. It will be fantastic if they choose to help, and it will be okay if they don't, but no friend will be allowed to work against my civil rights and remain my friend. This is called self-respect, and it starts now." - Chuck LeDuc Díaz from Bookmarklet

"But either way it goes, it seems, gays and lesbians get screwed. Black and Latino voters drawn to the polls in California because they were excited about voting for Barack Obama boosted the “yes” vote on Prop 8*. But Democratic voters who stayed away from the polls in Arkansas because they couldn’t brings themselves to vote for Barack Obama—dumbfucking crackerass racist piece-of-shit voters—helped to pass that state’s new anti-gay adoption law." - Chuck LeDuc Díaz from Bookmarklet

"(Salt Lake City, Utah) The Church of Latter Day Saints began putting together a game plan 10 years ago to ensure same-sex marriage would not become legal, a internal church memo shows. The document, obtained by Salt Lake City ABC affiliate KTVX, was sent by a member of the LDS General Authority to a member of the Quorum of the Twelve, the church’s governing body." - Chuck LeDuc Díaz from Bookmarklet

Can I has copy of memo? - Chuck LeDuc Díaz

"“There’s a movement afoot and large donors are involved who are very interested in organizing a campaign, because I do not believe in frivolous boycotts,” said Aravosis, who has helped organize boycotts against “Dr. Laura” Schlessinger’s television show, Microsoft and Ford over gay rights issues." - Chuck LeDuc Díaz from Bookmarklet

"I have been a Mormon my whole life. But after the church's campaign of hatred to ban gay marriage, I finally renounced my membership." - Chuck LeDuc Díaz from Bookmarklet

I guess being "loving and supportive of her and her family" means "contributing money to marginalize her legal status." Do these people think, at all? - Chuck LeDuc Díaz

Nice. - Derrick

"Mormons continued to register their resignations with, and post resignation letters to Signing for Something this week, citing "hatred" and "discrimination" among their chief reasons for quitting the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. These resignations come among the continuing backlash against the Mormon Church's involvement in passing California's Proposition 8 last week to take away the right of civil marriage for gays and lesbians." - Chuck LeDuc Díaz from Bookmarklet

"On Wednesday morning, with their 3-month-old daughter, Willow, in tow, Ms. Oliveira and Ms. Vickery became one of Connecticut’s first same-sex couples to wed, in a chilly breeze outside City Hall here. Surrounded by journalists and a few friends, they exchanged rings and shared the Ikea story during their vows, along with a slow, tender kiss." - Chuck LeDuc Díaz from Bookmarklet

"Focus on the Family, the ultra-conservative religious nonprofit led by James Dobson, announced on Monday that it is eliminating 202 jobs -- "149 through layoffs and 53 by not filling vacant positions."" - Chuck LeDuc Díaz from Bookmarklet

"The possibility that a whole new generation of American males is being raised by women without men is very challenging for the churches. I think they want to reassert some sort of male authority over the order of things. I think the pro-Proposition 8 movement was really galvanized by an insecurity that churches are feeling now with the rise of women." - Chuck LeDuc Díaz from Bookmarklet

Bookmarked for later. Thanks, Chuck. - Derrick

"Now these churches are going after homosexuals as a way of insisting on their own propriety. They are insisting that they have a role to play in the general society as moral guardians, when what we have seen in the recent past is just the opposite. I mean, it's one thing for the churches to insist on their right to define the sacrament of marriage for their own members. But it's quite... more... - Chuck LeDuc Díaz

"Outraged by California voters’ ban on same-sex marriage, a new wave of advocates, shaken out of a generational apathy, have pushed to the forefront of the gay rights movement, using freshly minted grass-roots groups and embracing not only new technologies but also old-school methods like sit-ins and sickouts." - Chuck LeDuc Díaz from Bookmarklet

"Yes, but ferris wheels and merry-go-rounds are more fun than brick walls." - Chuck LeDuc Díaz
