2. Fox News is continuing its campaign against Kevin Jennings. The most recent report is entitled Obama's Safe Schools Czar Tied to Lewd Readings for 7th Graders. The supposed "lewd readings" were not written by Kevin, but cited on a reading list about gay issues. Oh, it doesn't seem to matter that the reading lists compiled by GLSEN urge adults to review all materials before recommending them to specific kids.
3. New York Governor David Paterson (right) continues to give us hope that politicians will do the right thing. On Wednesday he plans to announce a major policy in support of transgendered New Yorkers. It would be hard to find a more committed straight ally then the Governor of New York.
4. Senator Jim DeMint of South Carolina wants to make sure everyone knows just how awful he thinks homosexuality is. In a recent interview, when asked about the possibility of having a gay or lesbian president, he said, "It would be bothersome to me just personally because I consider it immoral. Marriage is a religious institution. The federal government has no business redefining what it is DeMint told Hunt, adding that even state governments should not have the right to permit same-sex marriages. Governments should not be in the business of promoting a behavior that’s proven to be destructive to our society”
5. The Possibility Same Sex Marriage continues to look promising in Washington, DC. The city council is expected to pass its second vote on the matter this week and Mayor Adrian M. Fenty (left) is expected to sign. The one potential snag is the interference of the US Congress.
