Mark Morford had a fine column re: Prop 8  (did someone already post this? can't remember)


The big gay shrug
Sorry, enemies of gay marriage. Prop 8 or no, you've already lost

Hold onto your hats, Cheney endorses gay marriage.

http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2009-06-02-cheney-speech_N.htm?csp=34


a step in the right left direction, as it were. He's still an evil SOB, however.  I meant to post that yesterday; was a little surprised that OlberMaddow didn't talk about it last night, but they devoted most of their shows to the Dr Tiller murder.

Rachel joked last week that the longer Cheney keeps doing TV interview after TV interview, the better the odds that he'll book himself on her show by accident. And then.... bwahahahahaha!

agreed on the evil SOB part, and likewise surprised that no one posted it here before me.

I just can't imagine what the dittoheads are going to make of this.  I hope Rev. Dobson's head explodes.

For those of you who have been following the case of Lt. Dan Choi, here is a definitive AP article on the subject of overturning DADT.

Paul Haggis, the Oscar-winning writer-director (Crash, Million Dollar Baby, In the Valley of Elah) has publicly resigned from Scientology because of (among other things) their support of Prop 8.  His letter to Tommy Davis, the church's "celebrity wrangler" (LOL) and the son of actress Anne Archer, is part of this article about his resignation in the Hollywood Reporter. Interesting stuff.

Wow, that took some balls. It'll be interesting to see what reaction (if any) some of the other Scientolo-celebs have to this.

Of course, I will remember Paul Haggis most for his work on Due South!
Don't stand in the way of LOVE!

This website is satire, but given how the right-wing continues to out-do itself, craziness-wise, you'd be forgiven for mistaking it for an actual campaign:

The Boss comes out... for same-sex marriage. He also turned down an invite to perform at the inaugural of Joisey's new GOP governor.

Haven't watched the interview yet, but I hear tell that Rachel Maddow took Richard Cohen, the "ex-gay" therapist who claims to help gays become straight, to school in an interview on her show last night. Coverage here, with a link to the video. It's 17 minutes long but worth the time, from what I am told:

I saw it; she really nailed him -- she's been doing phenomenal work this week on that story, as it relates to the "Kill the Gays" legislation in Uganda. Her coverage (she's pretty much the only MSM outlet on the story) has resulted in Rick warren and others distancing themselves from the Ugandans.
