Marriage equality matters to many readers of InterstateQ I imagine. "Democrats are for LGBT rights, Republicans are against them" seems to be the generally accepted view of American politics, but after listening to the views of the presidential front runners, I can't help but notice they sound rather similar ...

6th Congressional District candidate Jay Ovittore passed with flying colors. Teresa Sue Bratton -- well, not so much:
Should "sexual orientation" be added as a protected class in federal ...

Patrick McHorny likes his young pal's lollipops!
Despite the fact our Republic is supposed to be "of the people, by the people," Congressman Patrick McHenry thinks he has a better idea: Let voters buy their way to elected representation and political power.

Disclaimer: I went to film school. I also work in television. That should help explain why many of my posts revolve around videos: I can't get enough. The following is a video that I wish was never made, that we lived in a world devoid of such ...

Matt said recently that "Republicans don't like poor people" and after hearing the New Mexico legislative update from HRC, I have a new thought: Democrats don't like gay people.
Of course I don't actually believe that all Democrats don't like gay people. Heck, many gay people are Democrats! However, I do ...
