9 Portraits of Gay Military Families Who Serve in Silence Under DOMA:

Although DADT is dead, DOMA still looms over the lives and love of these families who have served our country. Discrimination still occurs in little and big ways, like the denial of a lesbian’s spouse into a military spouse group seen HERE. America’s soldiers still are not equal in all ways, and it is our job as citizens to ensure them not just fair treatment, but the same freedoms we seek as a whole in the LGBTQ community.

““Gay people are born into and belong to every society in the world. They are all ages, all races, all faiths. They are doctors and teachers, farmers and bankers, soldiers and athletes. And whether we know it, or whether we acknowledge it, they are our family, our friends, and our neighbors. Being gay is not a western invention. It is a human reality.””

Today is the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia.

Homophobia should be denounced each and every time one is a witness to or a victim of homophobic acts or speech. It is a personal, social and civic responsibility to do so.

Lesbian Woman Arrested After Seeking Marriage Lisence in North Carolina:

Yesterday, Mary Jamis and her partner joined eight other gay and lesbian couples to seek a marriage license at the Register of Deeds office in Winston-Salem. Although the other couples left the office after being denied, Jamis and a straight friend of hers who joined the protest chose to remain behind and refuse to leave until Jamis was given her constitutional right to marry the person she loves. This was the result:

“I’m a very different person than I was in high school, of course.”

- Romney apologizes for hurtful high school pranks (via nationaljournal)

He’s not the same person he was when he ran for senate. He’s not the same person he was when he ran for governor. He’s not the same person he was when he was governor. He’s not the same person he was when he ran for president the first time. He’s barely the same person he was at the beginning of this campaign.

BREAKING: OBAMA ENDORSES MARRIAGE EQUALITY

BREAKING: OBAMA ENDORSES MARRIAGE EQUALITY:

gaywrites:

In an ABC interview today, President Obama has officially endorsed the rights of same-sex couples to get married.

OBAMA: I have to tell you that over the course of several years as I have talked to friends and family and neighbors when I think about members of my own staff who are in incredibly committed monogamous relationships, same-sex relationships, who are raising kids together, when I think about those soldiers or airmen or marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf and yet feel constrained, even now that Don’t Ask Don’t Tell is gone, because they are not able to commit themselves in a marriage, at a certain point I’ve just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married.

OH MY GOD.
