Obama Signs Memorandum Granting Same-Sex Couples Hospital Visitation Rights
I really don’t see how anyone can have a problem with this – yes, I know some will. President Obama on Thursday signed a memorandum requiring hospitals to allow gays and lesbians to have non-family visitors and to grant their partners medical power of attorney.

DADT Activist Recalled to Active Duty
In a sign that the Obama Administration is moving steadily and firmly in the direction of repealing Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, Dan Choi, a member of the Army National Guard and Arabic translator, has been recalled to active duty.

WTF? Obama Defends DOMA Like a Right-Wing Nutjob
David Anderson must be loving Obama today (in a totally hetero way). Obama has betrayed same sex rights with his defense of DOMA in court. Obama didn’t need to defend DOMA. He also didn’t need to invoke incest and child marriage in the argument. Read the link. There is some left-wing anger headed Obama’s way […]

Repeal of the policy is even favored by 58% of people who call themselves conservative and 60% of people who attend church weekly. I think it’s difficult to get 70% of Americans to agree on […]

Gay Thought of the Day
Studies show that angry male homophobes probably have deeply hidden homosexual urges. So next time you get in a argument with a Radical Right man who is hung up on “the gays”, have pity on the poor soul as he probably hasn’t really accepted his true sexuality.
