Take your pledge and shove it...
Homophobic Bishop Eddie Long has found himself the subject of three lawsuits from young men who claim he molested them when they were 16 and 17 years old. Long leads the Atlanta New Birth megachurch, drives a Bentley, wears tight clothes and loves to take suggestive photos of himself in front of bathroom mirrors with his iPhone. Long has led anti-gay marches and preached about "gay conversion" so often that many had already suspected he was a secretly a down-low peen lover himself. We'll see how this plays out, but it's got Ted Haggard stank all over it.
Today, the GOP released its A Pledge to America – 21 pages of empty promises, patriotic jargon, tired talking points and a little anti-gay discrimination thrown in for good measure. They can scream about how the Dems are ruining the country, but, as usual, they have no solutions – just rhetoric.
The GOP is just like The Wizard of Oz – pay no attention to what's happening behind the curtain. Just quake in fear, half-truths and a little more fear.

I encourage like minded folks to get to the polls in November and vote Democrat even if you think the Dems are doing a sucky job. They are definitely the lesser of the two evils.
when i was in high school long ago, no one ever mentioned gay people. now, as a teacher, i have students come out to me. mostly they do so quietly and sort of casually, perhaps to stay under the radar, so to speak. but they come out.
i know that students are able to come out because people like you speak up. harvey milk's speech about hope is absolutely true.
