What Do Canada and Mexico Have that the United States Doesn't? Equality

08.13.2010

A Simple Case for Humanity

01.30.2010

Too often the case against gay marriage toes the religious or revisionist-history lines, people arguing that marriage has always been between one man and one woman since the beginning of time and that homosexuality is a sin.  People reduce gay marriage to terms of grotesque creatures, not loving human beings and breaking nature’s law.  People [...]

Denounce Uganda By Supporting New Jersey

12.04.2009

Uganda is on the verge of passing legislation that will recommend the death penalty for those convicted of engaging in homosexual acts. This is an abomination. It is institutionalized genocide and all UN countries must act according if/when this bill passes into law.  To single out a minority demographic of a country and send them [...]

Huckabee: Broken Record on Same Sex Marriage

11.26.2009

Ft. Hood Tragedy Polarizes Nation Immediately

11.10.2009

Major Nidal Hasan sure got both sides spewing their rhetoric. One side uses the tragedy as an excuse to condemn all of Islam and its followers and to justify the wars in the Middle East.  The other side condemns those who condemn Islam. As the picture becomes clearer about Hasan and his extremist views, those [...]

Prop 8 Upheld, Equality Not

05.26.2009

A disappointing day to say the least: the California Supreme Court ruled in favor of the ban on same-sex marriage. While no new gay marriages can take place, the marriages that occurred during the summer of 2008 when it was legal will remain valid.  Some point to this as being a minor victory in the [...]

Yeah, Iowa!!!

04.03.2009

I love Iowa.  I loved it when I visited it last month on tour.  And I loved it when I was there last year for my friend’s wedding. And I now I love it because it has – unanimously – become the third state in the union to legalize gay marriage. The Iowa Supreme Court [...]
