Blend-o-licious endorsements...



The Christian Civic League of Maine's Mike Hein calls Pam's House Blend:
"a leading source of radical homosexual propaganda, anti-Christian bigotry, and radical transgender advocacy."

He is "praying that Pam Spaulding will "turn away from her wicked and sinful promotion of homosexual behavior." (CCLM's web site, 10/15/07)


Ex-gay "Christian" activist James Hartline on Pam:
"I have been mocked over and over again by ungodly and unprincipled anti-christian lesbians."
(from "Six Years In Sodom: From The Journal Of James Hartline," 9/4/2006, written from the "homosexual stronghold" of Hillcrest in San Diego).

"Pam is a 'twisted lesbian sister' and an 'embittered lesbian' of the 'self-imposed gutteral experiences of the gay ghetto.'" -- 9/5/2008



Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth Against Homosexuality heartily endorses the Blend, calling Pam:

A "vicious anti-Christian lesbian activist."
(Concerned Women for America's radio show [9:15], 1/25/07)

"A nutty lesbian blogger."
(MassResistance radio show [16:25], 2/3/07)


Pam's House Blend always seems to find these sick f*cks. The area of the country she is in? The home state of her wife? I know, they are everywhere. Pam just does such a great job of bringing them out into the light.

Argentine judge opens the door to marriage equality

¡Felicitaciones Argentina!
Judge Gabriela Seijas ordered the civil registry to make official the marriage of Alejandro Freyre, 39, and Jose Maria Di Bello, 41, who had been denied their request because they were both men.

It could increase pressure for lawmakers to take up a stalled gay marriage bill in Congress.

"We are very happy, moved, but we also feel the heavy weight of responsibility because it's not just about us, it's encouraging legal equality in Argentina and the rest of Latin America," Di Bello told Agence France-Presse.

The couple had filed a complaint in April. ...

The decision by Seijas "is incredibly courageous, we didn't expect it," acknowledged Di Bello, who fell into his partner's arms when he learned of the verdict.

Of course judicial decisions can be appealed, but not to worry.
The government of the City of Buenos Aires said it would not appeal a ruling that would pave the way for same-sex marriages in the capital.

Through a statement published on the Internet, City Mayor Mauricio Macri said "this is an important step, because we must learn how to live in freedom without hurting the rights of others.... We must cohabit, and accept this reality. The world is heading toward that direction"

Macri added that the decision was the result "of an important internal debate," through which he wanted to "improve the liberties" of the citizens. ...

The ruling of Administrative Judge Gabriela Seijas, said "the law should treat everybody with the same respect, regardless of their singularities, without the need to understanding and regulating them."

The couple said they were "proud and happy" for being "the first same-sex couple who have been backed by the courts," in a ruling that came only days after the Lower House of Congress failed to reach quorum on a law draft to allow homosexual marriages in the country. The law, which would be debated next year, would make Argentina the first country in the region to legalize same-sex marriages

Spectacular.... now if only we had a way to have our judges do this...!


It's the Hammer of JUSTICE,
It's the Bell of FREEDOM,
It's the Song about LOVE between,
my Brothers and my Sisters
...All over this Land.


our supreme court has the opportunity coming their way

Yep, the Boies-Olson law suit is in federal court...
In California right now, but I have no doubt that they will take it all the way up to SCOTUS if necessary. I just hope Boies and Olson have a plan in place to sway 5 votes our way.  

Act on Principles and make equality happen.

YAY, Argentina!
It's SO awesome for equality to spread across Latin America, even if they are now leaping ahead of us. Hopefully marriage will soon be legal across Argentina, and I know Uruguay is already working on legislation to upgrade their civil unions to marriage. I've even heard rumblings about a possible marriage bill in Brazil soon, so I hope it all works out in the coming months so I can one day have my dream wedding in Buenos Aires (perhaps after I get my first "quickie marriage" by Elvis in Vegas). ;-)

Act on Principles and make equality happen.
