Hate Crimes Bill Signed Into Law

Obama Signs Hate Crimes Bill Into Law - Huffington Post

Check out Matthew Shepard Act for more details on the bill.

I have to say that I'm very pleased that President Obama came through on his promise.

"Representative John A. Boehner of Ohio, the House Republican leader, called the legislation radical social policy. “The idea that we’re going to pass a law that’s going to add further charges to someone based on what they may have been thinking, I think is wrong,” Mr. Boehner said."

I disagree with Representative Boehner (I wonder how that's pronounced, lol!). I think that any time someone is singled out and victimized because of their sexual orientation, it's wrong. We add further charges when a person is victimized because of their race or religion, it is only fair that we protect gays, lesbians, bi-sexuals and transgendered people in the same manner.


Please check out my post at Lola's Diner. I need to raise $250 to avoid foreclosure on my house. I'm selling Ad Space as well as Guest Blog Posts. I am also taking donations. Please check out my post and if you can help, I would be very grateful. Prayers are also welcome.

Chicago - October 17 Shepard March/Anti-Gay Cop

Police Misconduct Against The LGBT Community To be Focus of This Year's Shepard March, Saturday, October 17 - Courtesy of Gay Liberation.Net

"One officer in the Town Hall District – Richard Fiorito – is the subject of more than 20 federal lawsuits for allegedly falsifying evidence to frame LGBT motorists for phoney DUI charges. He often allegedly pushed around defendants and called them homophobic slurs. Attorneys say ten to twenty additional suits against Fiorito will be filed within the next several weeks."

The march will demand that the officer be put on desk duty until the misconduct charges and lawsuits are decided and demand that criminal charges be filed because "probable cause" exists.

Shepard March
When:
7 PM – Saturday, October 17
Where:
7-11 Parking Lot – Corner of Halsted & Roscoe Streets.
Rally and march through the community, including past Alderman Tom Tunney's office and the 23rd District Police Station.

Gay Exorcism

This is very disturbing. If you look closely at the 2nd video, it sometimes appears that the man standing has his hand on the victim's chest, other times, it appears to be on his throat. Yes, I said "victim". I think it's appalling that any 'supposed' church leader conduct themselves in this manner in the name of their church and exorcising gay demons.

The supposed "Full" version of the same gay exorcism:

TGIF VGNO!

Ever since discovering I Know Jack.Com, Jack FM, I've been immersed in 'my music' from back in the day, the 70's and 80's. Last night I actually closed the laptop and watched a tv show in it's entirety and I called for a cone of silence from the kids. What show? Glee. It is one hour of awesomeness.

And because I heart the original:

Protect Maine Equality

On May 6, 2009 Maine ended discrimination in marriage for same-sex couples. This victory was the result of thousands of people who came forward to support marriage for all Maine families. The legislature and Governor followed the people's lead and passed this landmark legislation.

But the fight is not over. Opponents of marriage equality want to turn back the clock. They are working to place a measure on the ballot - modeled after California's Prop 8 - to take away the right of same-sex couples to marry in Maine.

This November, voters will be asked:

"Do you want to reject the new law that lets same-sex couples marry and allows individuals and religious groups to refuse to perform these marriages?"

Answer: Vote NO on 1.
