- If you’re a gay couple living in New York state that got legally married outside New York state, you can still be John tucker must die download.nytimes.com/2009/11/20/nyregion/20marriage.html” target=”_blank”>considered married here. But if you want to get married within New York state, you still have to wait for the Senate to actually, you know, vote on the issue. (Will hopefully happen by the end of 2009.)
- But I guess it’s all about perspective: a law might pass in Uganda making the “act of homosexuality” punishable by lifelong imprisonment, and “aggravated homosexuality” (like having AIDS–shame on you sick people!) punishable by–you guessed it–death. Needless to say, some people aren’t too happy about that and protested yesterday in front of the Ugandan UN mission.
- Speaking of which: you know who called homosexuality “evil”? A member of the Ugandan government! (It’s in the above link.) Do you know who else just called homosexuality “evil”? The “future of the Republican party”! Uganda, America: we’re not so different after all.
- Well, at least the Democrats have got our backs, right? Oh, wait, not the ones in New Jersey (my home state!). The Senate majority leader down there had this to say about the importance of passing gay rights legislation: “This is an important social issue that should have its day, and it could be now. If not today, tomorrow or in the future, it should be discussed.”Hear that, Asbury Park? It could be now! It won’t be, but it could, is what he’s saying.
- A new Web site aims to out gay priests in the hopes of encouraging American churches to revise their notoriously damning stances on homosexuality. It seems kind of like a joke, or the result of a night of too many wine coolers and Judy Garland movies, but whatever, I’m all for it.
- Oh and also all gay media is dying, everywhere.
