Denver Daily offers follow-up on anti-gay hit piece

I posted yesterday about The Denver Daily News‘ hit piece on gay parents and their kids. Denver’s gayzetteblog.com has done a great job covering the news. GLAAD and other gay groups jumped on it quick too.
From the follow-up article:
Denver psychologist Dr. Vivian Schaefer, who works closely with gay patients and is affiliated with GLBT studies [...]

Denver Daily publishes hit piece on gay parents, kids

Via gayzetteblog.com (Denver) we learn of an absolutely ludicrous, radical right agenda-laden hit piece on LGBT parents and their kids.
Entitled, “Gay parents = gay kids? Study: Kids raised by gay folks more likely to grow up gay,” The Denver Daily News article states:
As many as 21 percent of homosexually parented children become gay themselves, according [...]

Mass. moves to open marriage, Radical Right flips

Minutes after the Massachusetts Senate voted to repeal a 1913 law that would open same-sex marriage to out-of-state couples, the American Family Association’s OneNewsNow posted an Associated Press article detailing the legislation’s passage.
They changed the headline (and all the words “gay” to “homosexual”) to read: “BREAKING NEWS: Out-of-state homosexual ‘marriages’ on East Coast horizon.”
The original [...]

My friends speak out and Pastor Baity rears his ugly, hateful head

WFMY News 2 (Greensboro) did a wonderful story (video here) on my two good friends and mentors Gary Trowbridge and Frank Benedetti, a couple whose been together for decades.

“Democrats Don’t Like Gay People”

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 wonder if the Democratic party [...]

Anti-gay adoption frenzy spreads to Tennessee

On Jan. 26, I wrote about the anti-gay adoption ballot initiative taking place in Arkansas and how the gay Family Equality Council was gearing up to fight the archaic and destructive move that would limit adoption and foster parenting to only those couples who are married and heterosexual.
It seems as though the same anti-queer frenzy [...]

Re: Sick loved one? Too bad & tough luck queer.

365gay.com is reporting that Kentucky governor Steve Beshear has pledged to veto the bill to prohibit state universities from extending benefits to domestic partners. Despite this, the state attorney general issued an opinion that the universities are in violation of the state’s constitutional ban against same-sex marriage and will take them to court if [...]
