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?”

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.

In light of the historic news that just took place in New York State, we thought we’d share a historic photo from our collection of the first demonstration for marriage equality in New York State way back in 1971. Jim Owles from the Gay Activist Alliance is pictured next to a wedding cake at the city clerk’s office in the photo by Richard Wandel. The image is from the International Gay Information Center Collection of the Library’s Manuscripts and Archives Division. For more info on the Library’s LGBT collections check out the division’s blog.
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.”
