Utah Cuts Off Nose Over Gay Marriage

$2 million dollars
That is the money that the horrid state of Utah is going to dish out to stop people from getting federal benefits, promote homophobia and destroy any dignity they had left.
Seriously?  How many impoverished, hungry people could you feed and clothe for that $2 million dollars?

Who will be benefiting from the results of this fiscally irresponsible action?  Apparently, they had to find someone smart enough to represent this backwards state.  He is so stupid that he thinks defending an unconstitutional ban is "worthwhile". I would fire him right away for just being stupid.  Look around you!  The whole world is moving towards gay marriage.  Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes is going to go down in history like the captain of the Titanic!
If you see that Chris Christie had to throw in the towel, you would think that these homophobes would get a clue?
But I think we all know the real reason for this.  Once THIS ban is smashed, then all the other hateful bans on same sex marriage crumble....quickly.  Just like every other step in this battle, they try to draw it out.
Utah, pretend this is bandage and rip it off quickly!  The slower you pull off the bandage, the more it will hurt.
I thought this was a red state.  Don't they stand for fiscal responsibility?  I guess that a hateful bigoted homophobic agenda supersedes this.
Wake up and smell the fuchsia, it is over!

Duck Dynasty: Hate is NOT "Free Speech". It's just HATE!

A&E, really?
You had the opportunity to do the right thing.  I guess money is more important.
Do you realize that the only audience that you are going to be showing any of your programming to are the toothless, idiotic white cracker trash that follows Rush Limbaugh?
Let's do some math here, A&E.
Going to guess that these people who follow this show are going to be under educated, red state, and white males.  Going to guess that they are watching FOX news and dream about shopping sprees at Cabelas.
What do you think the buying power of one of these household's is?  Probably pretty low.
Who have you offended with reinstating Duck Dynasty?
LGBTQ, African Americans and everyone with a sense of non discrimination is being raised properly.
Now, apparently A&E is comfortable with sending more than just hate out over the airwaves....now they are broadcasting Phil Robertson's message of raping minor girls.  "Try her out" speech.
Everyone who is now changing their channel from the rape minor children, racist, homophobic, belittling women channel, please remember they are with History Channel, H2 and Military Channel.  When boycotting A&E, boycott those as well.

Gay Propaganda Laws are an American Invention

Unfortunately, the 'gay propaganda' laws instituted in homophobic Russia were inked here in the United States.

Land of the free is also home to the bigoted, narrow minded moron who bases things on fantasy rather than fact.

In this 2006 Yahoo article, one can clearly see that what was written here, clearly was the basis for what would turn out to be genocide of the Russian LGBT community.

http://voices.yahoo.com/gay-propaganda-deception-start-finish-77642.html

This sick person, K. B. Napier, spews a filthy story about deception that the gay community has spun on society.  Heterophobic is how this ass tries to spin this depraved story of LGBT rise to equality and acceptance by society.

This is certainly a frightening case of life imitating art.  This is a horrible reality drawn from this article.
Without a doubt, this 2006 article is the 'Mein Kampf' of our era.  Putin should be doing a Siche Heil to his inspiration Mr. Napier.

We can only hope that the ending of this reign of terror is short and ends with bullets in the head of Putin and Napier.

McDonald's: Proud Sponsor Of Don't Ask, Don't Tell Winter Olympic Games.

Here is the official press release from StonewallAGAIN about the impending protest:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: August 15, 2013

For Information:  Mike Lackovich StonewallAGAIN, 312-600-8429, info@StonewallAGAIN.com

LGBT community protests McDonald’s sponsoring the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” Winter Olympics in Russia.

LGBT to McDonald’s: We’re Not Lovin’ It!

Oakbrook, IL – Members of the Chicagoland LGBT community will be descending on McDonald’s World Headquarters, 2111 McDonald’s Drive, Oak Brook, at 11 AM, Saturday, August 17 to protest the Corporation's continued sponsorship of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia despite the country's recently instituted homophobic “gay propaganda” laws.  The laws have sparked widespread, increased violence against LGBT persons in the country, as demonstrated by YouTube videos [2] [3] proudly circulated by brutal anti-gay activists there. 

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has stated that no signs of LGBT presence or protest will be tolerated in its venues and has failed to admonish Russia against violence and threats of violence on LGBT Olympians and spectators.  Russian authorities have boldly stated that the repressive new law would be enforced on all who attend the games.

StonewallAGAIN, an LGBT activist group in Chicago that arose out of the May failure of Illinois's marriage equality bill, is the sponsor of Saturday's protest at McDonald's world headquarters  "McDonald’s has a responsibility to disavow sponsorship if local authorities refuse to provide safety to all who participate in the games that they are promoting," said Mike Lackovich, founder of StonewallAGAIN.  "These homophobic laws enacted are similar to those passed at the start of the holocaust in Nazi Germany.  McDonald’s needs to work with the IOC to find a safe venue for all participants to compete without fear of abuse, violence or deportation for being who they are.”

In response to questions concerning the forthcoming protest, the Chicago Phoenix reported Wednesday the following statement from Suzanne Valliere, senior manager of McDonald’s Global External Communications:

“There is no room for discrimination under the Golden Arches.  McDonald’s welcomes, respects and values the diversity, culture and unique differences of our 69 million customers and nearly two million employees around the world every day.  McDonald’s supports the spirit of the Olympic Games and its ability to unite the world in a positive and inspirational way.  We’ve been a proud sponsor of the Games for 37 years.  Regarding the recent Russian legislation, we support the International Olympic Committee’s belief that sport is a human right and the Olympic Games should be open to all, free of discrimination, and that applies to spectator, officials, media and athletes.” 

"Valliere’s press release is full of fluffy words that are contrary to what is actually occurring," said Lackovich.  "The Russian government and the IOC are imposing a state of 'Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,' with tolerance for violence and threats of violence thrown in for good measure.  As experience in the U.S. has shown, the policy of 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' is discriminatory in and of itself, and in direct contradiction to the claimed 'spirit of the games.'" 

“As for the ‘diversity’ Valliere speaks to,” Lackovich said, “nearly all gay people have to go through a difficult 'coming out' phase in their lives.  To ask people to go back into the closet so they can compete in something they have aggressively trained for regardless of sexual orientation is utterly absurd.  Clearly, Valliere has no idea how painfully difficult this phase of LGBT life is.  Most in the LGBT community would find this demand offensive and unacceptable.”

The protest will begin at 11AM and have speakers including StonewallAGAIN Founder, Bisexual Queer Alliance Chicago Founder Mike Oboza and Gay Liberation Network’s Co-Founder Andy Thayer.  More information about the protest is posted on the group’s website, StonewallAGAIN.com or their Facebook page.
