Once again, Obama has found a way to NOT let the buck stop with him – he is proving to be quite adept at finding a way to not take a stand on stands he has previously taken. I know – it makes my head hurt, too, but that’s the reality of it. The title [...]

The issue of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” is in the news again after the dismissal of a gay Army Arabic linguist recently (H/T to American Girl in Italy), as Steve Clemons mentioned in his post, “Do Obama’s Private Promises on Don’t Ask Don’t Tell Matter?“). Below is an interesting history of how the act came [...]

Do Obama’s Private Promises on Don’t Ask Don’t Tell Matter? »

By Steve Clemons on May 9, 2009 in GLBT, Gay Rights | 33 Comments

Second Lietenant Sandy Tsao is being discharged from the military for informing her chain of command that she is gay. She wrote in a letter to President Obama that she could not live according to one of the “seven army values” of personal integrity and not be truthful about the issue — even though a [...]

The More Things Change… »

The more they stay the same. Sad to say, but true, no matter what the Obama PR machine says about the whole Hope-y, Change-y Unicorn Magical Mystery Tour, change seems to take a mighty long time. Oh, sure, things started out well while reading the Sunday paper. I was reading the latest critical information on [...]

Okay To Be Gay In The Middle Of The USA »

By Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy on Apr 3, 2009 in Current Affairs, GLBT, Gay Rights, Iowa | 10 Comments

Wow, now this is some news – and it’s a bit surprising, i must say. Check out what the Iowa Supreme Court has gone and done: The Iowa Supreme Court issued a unanimous ruling Friday finding that the state’s same-sex-marriage ban violates the constitutional rights of gay and lesbian couples, making Iowa the third state [...]

Which Way Will He Go? »

Alert NQ reader, CG, provided the link to this article, and asked me what I thought about it. Here’s the article: Obama on Spot Over a Benefit to Gay Couples Just seven weeks into office, President Obama is being forced to confront one of the most sensitive social and political issues of the day: whether [...]

does sean penn have a clue? – updated »

As much as I loved the Oscars this year, and as much as I want to see Milk, I was pissed when I saw Sean Penn’s acceptance speech. Actors, as Americans, have the right to express their political points of view. And we have the right to separate their views from their roles, or not. [...]

“J. Edgar Moyers?” »

By Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy on Feb 24, 2009 in Barack Obama, FBI, FISA, GLBT, George Bush, Martin Luther King, Washington Post | 41 Comments

I will just go ahead and say upfront that I was saddened by the following article, and the information contained therein (major H/T to Andy for alerting me to this piece), J. Edgar Moyers The TV moralist’s government record. Why? Because Bill Moyers is someone for whom I had respect. His series with Joseph Campbell [...]

Iced Over »

By Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy on Feb 3, 2009 in Barack Obama, Current Affairs, GLBT, Kentucky, Sexism, Soldiers/Veterans | 39 Comments

I thought about writing on one of several different topics this morning, like the incredibly sexist new commercials aired during the Super Bowl last night. There was a Doritos one in which this young man bit into a Dorito, and it ripped all of the clothes off of a woman on the street. Nice. Or [...]

And Now For The Ugly »

By Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy on Jan 31, 2009 in Andrew Sullivan, Barack Obama, California, Florida, GLBT, Gay Rights, Obama's Thugs | 121 Comments

As promised, here is the Ugly part of “The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly.” And it is ugly. Disturbing, actually. In all honesty, I was dismayed to see what some in the GLBT community are now doing. But I am getting ahead of myself. The article I read was this one, “Next Time, They [...]

Right up front, let me say I am having a bad knee day. I had plans to write another piece altogether, but best laid plans and all that. But, I do want to share this recent news: Iceland has elected the first lesbian world leader (despite the fact that EVERY freakin’ news source keeps using [...]

Gimme That Old Time Religion – Updated (H/T – SusanUnPC) »

I’ve got some astonishing news about President Obama’s “faith groups,” the 15 meetings that Obama and staff have held so far with these faith groups, and the kinds of faith leaders he’s inviting, including the notorious Rev. James Meeks. What is even more astonishing is how little press this is getting – 15 meetings with [...]

The New DNC Looks Like… »

By Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy on Jan 25, 2009 in Backtrack Obama, Bamboozling, Barack Obama, DNC, DNC idiocy, Democratic National Convention, Democratic Platform, GLBT, Gay Rights, Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton | 27 Comments

The old DNC – nothing new here. The GLBT community continues to be treated like the proverbial red-headed stepchild. I bring this up because of the following comment left at my blog the other day: Thank God I found your blog! I feel like I’ve been living a real life version of invasion of the [...]

He Was For It Before He Was Agin’ It »

And other news on the ever-changing Barack Obama. Perhaps you have now heard that a 1996 questionnaire for Barack Obama has mysteriously reappeared AFTER he was elected (which of course he could not have done without the DNC’s new take on voting, i.e., it doesn’t really matter for whom you cast your vote – they [...]
