Now THAT is adorable So, so cool: On Saturday night at Scotiabank Place, a Toronto Maple Leafs fan named Alicia stood on the ice during the second intermission wearing a blindfold. When it was removed, she looked up at the video scoreboard and read a message from her girlfriend, an Ottawa Senators fan named Christina. Schmaltzy music played. Out walked […]

Baby, the USA was born this way Here’s the good news. On a federal level, we have a President who refuses to defend the unconstitutional Defense of Marriage act. We need a Congress who will pass a law that grants same-sex couples all the federal benefits of marriage. We already, I believe, have a President who will sign that law. […]

It’s time to get personal “The court finds that DOMA, as applied to Ms. Golinski, violates her right to equal protection of the law … without substantial justification or rational basis,” wrote White, who was named to the federal bench a decade ago by President George W.

One is from the ACLU over new law prohibiting health insurance benefits for to same-sex partners of public […]

Well, at least the Catholic church is consistent. A senior adviser to the Vatican, who is a theology professor in Detroit, is blasting the Catholic governor of New York for his strong backing of same-sex marriage, saying he should be punished for his “brazen” violation of Catholicism by being denied Holy Communion, a key part of the Catholic faith. Edward […]

I can’t even begin to express how absolutely full of awesome this is. There’s an online comic I read regularly called Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal that’s drawn by Zach Weiner. It’s a rather bizarro comic, lots of science fictiony type stuff, generally hysterical. Not long ago, he ran this comic: The odious homophobic, anti-gay, anti-same sex marriage group, National Organization […]
