And that ain’t Obama. That would be inaccurate, to say the least. Obama wanted to wait for the completion of a study to be conducted on the impact of changing DADT, with a target date of early December. His Justice Department regurgitated assertions used by Colin Powell 16 years ago that Powell says he no [...]

I admit that I did not hold Laura Bush in the highest esteem. After all, she married Dubya. That was about all I needed to know about her. And she seemed like such a Stepford Wife, not to mention downright boring. But honestly, I pretty much dismissed her out of hand because, as I said, [...]

The military policy, “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” has been in the news a good bit of late, including a recent story that some Democrats do not want to wait for the study Obama proposed to conclude December 1, conveniently after the election. Well, they might as well stop trying. This story just out (h/t to [...]

This is an interesting turn of events. Recently, I reported that Obama is starting to face some real push back from Gay Rights groups over his lack of concrete action on “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” He had hecklers the other day, as well as military personnel discharged under this policy handcuff themselves to the White [...]

Nope – they surely are not. Seems the LBGT community wants Obama to keep his promise about DADT. Yes, seems they believed him when he said he would get rid of it tout de suite (and I say “they” because I never thought for a second that he gave a damn about our community). This [...]

You may have heard recently about Constance McMillen, the young woman who wanted to take her girlfriend to the prom. Rather than having the prom at all, her school district in a little town in Mississippi canceled it. That’s right, they canceled the entire prom rather than let her bring her girlfriend. Wow. Well, to [...]

This classic scene from the brilliant show, “West Wing,” really sets the tone for the announcement made by Secretary of Defense Robert Gates this week on the Pentagon’s change for DADT:

Bumped up with and Update at the bottom of the post. Yes, Obama laid blame at the feet of just about everyone but himself last night during his SOTU. “The Buck Stops Here” moment was very short-lived, was it not? It’s Bush’s fault about the banks, even though Senator Obama voted to bail them out; [...]

As we all know, Obama will be making his first SOTU address this week, though thankfully, the time will not conflict with the season premiere of “Lost.” I’m not kidding. That’s for real (and if you want to see a funny video on the whole “Lost” fan thing, click for an Onion video). TheState of [...]

One of the worst things about the 2008 election – aside from the obvious of Hillary Clinton being unceremoniously pushed aside in favor of a disingenuous, inexperienced candidate with elastic policies – is that her supporters were likewise treated with horrid disrespect. We were told our concerns didn’t matter. We were told we didn’t matter. [...]

This past week brought some major news out of Houston, Houston Is Largest City to Elect Openly Gay Mayor. Way to go Lone Star State! The win is impressive, as is the new mayor, Annise Parker. Ms. Parker graduated from a high school in Charleston, SC. Her mom still lives here, though they do not [...]

One more state has joined the growing list of states that will not permit same sex marriage: New York. Yes, New York which has the largest population of LGB people in the country in NY City. This headline says it all: New York State Senate Votes Down Gay Marriage Bill. I admit, this one really [...]

* bumped up because the Reverend is our in-house expert who tracks the ACORN story like few others * And circumvents the Congress, even the President, in the process. Yes, it turns out that, according to DOJ lawyer, David Barron, it is A-Okay for ACORN to receive funds from American taxpayers, according to this NY [...]

I admit, when I first saw the headline about the child refusing to say the Pledge of Allegiance, I just assumed it was about the whole “under God” thing in there. Well you know what they say when one “assumes,” and nowhere was that more the case than here, as this article makes clear, A [...]

When NQ faithful reader, Doc99, sent me this article, I had to check that it wasn’t from The Onion, or any other satire site. But no, this is for real, “Mormons Throw Support Behind Gay-Rights Cause.” Well, I’ll be a monkey’s uncle. Sure never saw THAT one coming. I’ll give you a moment to recover [...]
