Queer links
Cute boy, nice dog. (A little workdubious.)
Poll finds that Dutch gay voters are heading rightwards.
Queers really are everywhere.
When is it OK to tell a gay joke?
About the first national US march for gay and lesbian rights in 1979.
HIV infection are rising in New York.
Simple proposal to amend the Defence of Marriage Act. Young American gays as more relationship minded than previously.
Tax discrimination.
Wondering why a Democratic majority in Maryland has resulted in no progress towards marriage or civil unions: possibly because activists couldn’t work out whether to aim for only the first or the second as the immediate target.
Hillary talks to the Philadelphia gay press, Obama not so much.
Examining gay Republicans. Perhaps examining is not quite the right word.
About the pattern of defection from the Left. A quote in the essay: Anas Altikriti, points out that the Qur'an says nothing about homosexuality beyond relaying the biblical story of Sodom and Gomorrah is a trifle misleading: the Qur’an repeats the story in an anti-homosexuality way which goes beyond the original Torah version and reflects the interpretation of the story which had become dominant in Rabbinical (and later Christian) commentary from about the time of Christ.
Oh, this is too good: Rep. Chris Cannon said the government should not be going after polygamists solely because they practice plural marriage, relying on a controversial U.S. Supreme Court ruling that protects homosexual relationships.
But his fellow Republican challenger, David Leavitt, who as a county attorney filed bigamy charges against polygamist Tom Green in 2000, said that polygamists should be prosecuted, or it will pave the road to same-sex marriage.
"What's at issue is the redefinition of marriage," Leavitt said during a broadcast debate on KNRS radio. "If we allow two consenting women and a consenting man to redefine what our society says is marriage, then we have opened the door for the redefinition of marriage for same-gender marriage. This is a broader scope than just polygamy."
Responding to being cancelled from talking at a Catholic college and then having one’s position mischaracterized: In my sixteen years of speaking on gay rights, only once before have I had an event canceled-in Louisiana, a week following Hurricane Katrina. So the students of the College arranged to have the lecture in another venue: Corvino took the opportunity to highlight biases in society -- where heterosexuals have "lives" and homosexuals have "lifestyles," where straight people have a "moral vision" and gays have "an agenda."
