Google Announces Worldwide Campaign To Legalize Same-Sex Marriage →
Today, Google has announced an ambitious effort to legalize same-sex marriage across the globe. The project, called “Legalize Love,” was annouced earlier today at an event in London focusing on LGBT issues in the workplace.
Dot429.com has the details:
“I have Jury Duty tomorrow.
Some would say that one should be honored to serve their county as a juror in a court of law.
If that is how I should feel, then shouldn’t every court, in this great nation or ours, recognize and honor my right to marry an adult, whom I love, and whose love is reciprocated, regardless of their gender or gender identification or sexual orientation?”

Christie: African-American Civil Rights Should Have Been Put Up To A Vote | The New Civil Rights Movement →
New Jersey Republican Governor Chris Christie this week said that African-American civil rights should have been voted upon, in lieu of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which outlawed racial discrimination and segregation and strengthened voting rights. Christie made these remarks as he insisted he would veto any legislation that came to his desk allowing same-sex marriage.
“The fact of the matter is, I think people would have been happy to have a referendum on civil rights rather than fighting and dying in the streets in the South,” Christie said Tuesday, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer: READ MORE
And he sat in that church with all of those African-American leaders and celebrities who were there to bury an African-American legend.
After 100 Years Of Existence, The NAACP Will Finally Address LGBT Issues / Queerty →
After being slammed for taking a “neutral” stanceon marriage equality, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will hold its first-ever town hall meeting on LGBT issues moderated by out CNN anchor Don Lemon and lesbo-commedienne Wanda Sykes! Sounds fun and informative, but what will they actually discuss?According to the NAACP, the LGBT forum “will examine the significant contributions of black gay leaders within the Civil Rights movement, the role of black straight allies in addressing homophobia, and how we can collectively overcome LGBT discrimination within the black community.”
To be fair, the NAACP has supported hate crimes legislation, anti-bullying programs in schools, and has opposed laws banning same-sex marriage, like Prop 8. Plus, NAACP chair Julian Bond enthusiastically addressed LGBT and black civil rights in his 2009 Human Rights Campaign speech, so the organization hasn’t been totally silent on LGBT issues. But we’ll be listening for sound bits and conversation points from the discussion.
The panel will also include president of the National Women’s Studies Association Professor Beverly Guy-Sheftall; Noah’s Arc actor Daryl Stephen; and writer, scholar, activist, and former Executive Director of Queers for Economic Justice, Kenyon Farrow.
Umm… we want tickets to this event… like, really badly!
Niagara Falls lit up like a rainbow last night at midnight to celebrate the start of legal same-sex marriages in New York. More.

Amazing story!
Cpl. Andrew Charles Wilfahrt, 31, is believed to be the first gay U.S. soldier to die in battle since President Obama signed the repeal of “don’t ask, don’t tell,” the policy forcing gays in the military to hide that part of their lives or risk being kicked out. READ MORE
Bravo New York!!!
Betty White, “I don’t care who anybody sleeps with. If a couple has been together all that time - and there are gay relationships that are more solid than some heterosexual ones - I think it’s fine if they want to get married. I don’t know how people can get so anti-something. Mind your own business, take care of your affairs, and don’t worry about other people so much.”
