Hate crimes signing ceremony on Wednesday afternoon

I would need an official Blend driver . I cannot even contemplate what the air fare would be if I was invited.  

You have my email and you can check with Louise I'm not a nut case.  I can cover the airline tickets if you're interested.  Just make sure you aren't really a RWG.

Pam, you have worked so tirelessly for the rights of the oppressed for so long - YOU DESERVE TO BE THERE!

Joe Solmonese I'm sure will be there and he does not represent me - You on other hand do and i want you there and I'm not taking no for an answer.

Close the GayTM. Only give to candidates who have actually done something other than make promises - most are just pandering for our cash.

Did you see this?

Assume Pam will post a separate thread about it...a statement by the new Secretary of the Army that is a MAJOR step forward, but, just in case her health problems today prevent that, here's my comment [not "off topic" of this thread which is fundamentally Obama and his relationship with the LGBT community]:

First, Secretary Hughes silly stumble about some possible kind of segregation of out gays aside [which was both briefly toyed with in 1993 and in between the lines of statements by Secretary of Defense Robert Gates earlier this year], his saying that the military can handle gay integration is a remarkable development...and one that just might get him in a little bit of hot water.

For, in the vernacular of the peasantry, he just called "Bullshit!" on the "the sky will fall" mumbling of not just National Homohatred Advisor James Jones, not just the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on which he serves, Mike Mullen, and on his fellow Chiefs that have resisted, but also on his bosses, Gates, and the Commander-in-Chief/POTUS...as well as those members of Congress who have excused their own inaction by saying "it's up to the military to decide." He's passed back the hot potato and there are lots of burned fingers across Washington today.

Nevertheless, we must never speak of repeal without also insisting the CIC invoke the powers Congress gave him to freeze discharges in the name of national security. Nearly five hundred gay servicemembers have "bled to death" since January 20th while the White House has been waiting for Dr. Congress to arrive.

Or as David Mixner put it so well:
