The Ugandan Government said they will prosecute anyone who comes out as being gay or lesbian. Having sex with someone of the same sex in Uganda is punishable by by life imprisonment as it is a criminal offense.
By the way, the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission said that they had uncovered evidence that the Bush administration has funded groups in Uganda that actively promote violence and discrimination against lesbians and gay men.
I don’t know much about Uganda, but what I do know is that I don’t want to go there!!!!! Anyone from Uganda out there? Heck, I don’t know how safe you’d feel admitting anything on a gay blog anyway…so nevermind. This is just insane. I know I don’t live there and I have no control over what happens there but I’m sorry for what you have to go through there……….if there’s away we can help from here, please let us know.

Folks, if you live in California, please, please, please take action now in some way, shape or form and get the word out to all of your friends, family, co-wokers, everyone to vote NO on Prop 8.
This is the initiative that would ban same-sex marriage in California. It WILL be on the November ballot and everyone in California will be voting for or against it.
Please urge folks to vote NO to Prop 8. If you can afford it, even a little bit, why don’t you donate to the cause. The Pro Prop 8 people are out numbering us dollar wise big time..so much so that in a recent poll of California people, pro Prop 8 people are winning by 5%!!!
We can’t let this happen to California…please get the word out more. Brad Pitt, graciously donated $100,000 to the say no to Prop 8 campaign………….now I know you ain’t Brad Pitt, but if you or anyone you can know is fortunate enough to have some money to spare, I think this would be a great cause now. You can go here to donate to say No To Prop 8!

In December, Iowa’s Supreme Court wil hear a case which challenges their state’s ban on marriage equality. Each side of this argument will have 30 minutes to make their arguments.
A Polk County judge, last year, struck down a state law limiting marriage to opposite-sex couples stating that it violated constitutional rights of due process and equal protection.
Anybody in Iowa care to comment on this? What’s your feeling on how most of Iowa feels (or at least the gay and straight people in your world that you know.)

2. New Jersey
New Jersey recently legalized civil unions for gay and lesbian couples. We think this, along with the fact that they have many beautiful beaches and boardwalks (and casinos for you gamblers out there,) that this would me an exciting U.S. destination for your gay or lesbian honeymoon.
3. California
The gay capital of world, San Francisco, California, would make a fantastic spot for your honeymoon festitivities, don’t you think? There are so many activities, beaches and other places to visit in California where gay and lesbian couples will feel comfortable.

4. Hawaii
Hawaii is just a breath-taking location for a honeymoon for any couple, gay or straight. There are many beautiful islands that are a part of Hawaii, which include many gorgeous beaches and gay friendly spots. You can check out: Kauai, Maui, Oahu and of course, Hawaii. You really can’t go wrong here.

Awesome! Now we have 3 states in the United States that don’t discriminate against the people who live in their states (if only those states could knock some sense into the rest of ‘em!)
There was 85 pages to their decision and with a 4-3 decision gay marriage became legal in Connecticut.
“In accordance with these state constitutional requirements, same sex couples cannot be denied the freedom to marry,” said the majority opinion, which was written by Justice Richard N. Palmer.
Gay couples will most likely be allowed to marry in 20 days. This, of course, is dependent upon attempts by opponents of gay marriage that want to delay the ruling with procedural tactics.
The Assembly is expected to update the marriage laws in January when they are back in session.
But let me warn you fine folks of Connecticut…this still isn’t over. Just like the folks in California who are against gay marriage were able to get a measure put on the November ballot there WILL be the same type of folks in Connecticut that will try to do the same thing. Be aware of this and tell all family and friends to vote accordingly.
Why people can’t butt out and mind their own damn business is behind me. When will straight people learn that the ONLY threat to marriage is DIVORCE!

Mayor Buddy Dyer, in Orlando, Florida, proposed to allow municipal workers to get health benefits for their same-sex partners.
The city council accepted this proposal unanimously earlier in the week. Orlando is the first city in Central Florida that allows such benefits. There are, however, more than 20 cities throughout Florida that have already granted these benefits prior to this ruling.

Ok even though I’m an Obama supporter I wanted to tell you all that I feel sorry for Sarah Palin and why.
Ok first, I saw the interview with Charles Gibson (thanks to youtube) and boy did I feel she came off like a twit. I though to myself “OMG what is wrong with the Republicans that they’d pick this nutjob as the Vice Presidential nominee!” But I didn’t care…better fo us Democrats, because the world isn’t crazy enough to vote for a whack-job like her that is one heartbeat away from President, right?
So I just chuckled at her and how well umm for lack of a better word DUMB she appeared (grant it, I know she can’t be all that dumb since she’s gone as far as she did thus far, but boy she sure does come off like a big giant dope.)
Anyway, I laughed it up and I even laughed harder at the SNL skit that they did with Tina Fey as Palin and she was talking to Hillary Clintion, etc. That was hilarious. If you haven’t seen that skit, you must watch it! I don’t care if you are a dem or repub that is some funny stuff.
So I just laughed at her when I seen her or heard her until………I youtubed (thank you again) the interview she had with Katie Couric. Let me tell you that while I was watching that interview I actually felt sorry for Sarah Palin, because well quite frankly she isn’t reaady to be in this position that she’s in. I know that even though you’re not ready to run for VP of the U.S. that if you are asked, you’re probably gonna jump at the opportunity anyway, but gosh, this woman basically just got thrown into this and she shouldn’t have.
That made me feel sorry for her. I mean it’s hot her fault she looks like a deer caught in the headlights sometimes, it’s not her fault that she doesn’t know what she’s talking about sometimes, it’s not her fault she sounds like a dope more often then not. She shouldn’t be in this position and I have no idea what McCain and the Republicans were thinking (actually I do, but come on, you couldn’t have picked better woman running mate?)
Anyway, does anyone agree with me? Did ya’ll see that interview? Or any of her interviews? Am I seeing things or does she really appear to be a dope?
By the way, just for the record I do want Sarah Palin to know that I, as a lesbian, do TOLERATE her.

Sooo, whether you’re for Obama/Biden or McCain/Palin, what did you think of the VP debate last night? More specifically, what did you think about the portion of the debate where they talked about same-sex couples rights and same-sex marriage??
I want to hear your opinions on this. Here’s my take on Obama. I like the guy even though he doesn’t support gay marriage per se. He’s the only candidate that I’ve ever seen talk about gay issues in front of a general audience, not in front of just a gay audience. You know what I mean?
I mean anyone can talk bout gay issues in front of a huge gay audience, but I’ve never seen any candidate running for President talk about gay issues in front of huge audiences that aren’t necessarily gay, except for Obama. Remember, when he talked about gay issues in that black church and told the people that they need to support their gay brothers and sisters?
Even during his acceptance of the President nomination he spoke about gay issues in front of the entire world, not just on a gay channel or to a gay newspaper. Get what I’m saying here?
I believe that he believes that gay couples should have the same rights as heterosexuals, he just doesn’t believe in the MARRIAGE word. Now, I completely think that’s b.s. because that’s falling just shy of the same rights as heterosexuals, but it’s a good step in the right direction, if you ask me.
And when Palin said that she is TOLERABLE and would TOLERATE any adults right to choose who they wantedo be with I just wanted to kick her in the teeth 
(in a nice way, of course.)
Anyway…..let me hear your thoughts on the VP debate and even on your feelings about Obama or McCain when dealing with gay rights issues.
