Homophobia, mysogyny and hip-hop — these are topics that I’ve blogged about quite a bit; that’s why it’s meaningful that an artist with street cred (and controversy) in that milieu like Jay-Z comes forward to make a statement in support of marriage equality. Not a small thing in the world of hip-hop. Good on him. Rolling [...]

“I feel that I no longer wish to support your presidential campaign and ask that you please return the maximum contribution that I gave to you last year. ”You have chosen to be on the wrong side of history and I do not support your run for president any longer.” – Chairman and CEO of the [...]
Thoughts about the NYT’s ‘Can You Call a 9-Year-Old a Psychopath?’ |
| By: Pam Spaulding Tuesday May 15, 2012 4:53 am |
When I read Jennifer Kahn’s well-written, draining piece in the NYT about the plight of a family whose child is exhibiting all the signs of a sociopath at the tender age of 9, all sorts of questions ran through my mind. Science often just uncovers the tip of the iceberg when it comes to mental illness/conditions [...]

New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg gave the commencement address at UNC this past weekend, and took a swipe at North Carolina’s voters who decided to ensure that gay and lesbian couples are second-class citizens in the state by passing Amendment One.

RNC head Reince Priebus signals party’s support for ENDA on Meet the Press |
| By: Pam Spaulding Sunday May 13, 2012 5:45 pm |
I expect that the professional anti-LGBTs will not like what head of the Republican National Committee, Reince Priebus, had to say about employment nondiscrimination and the LGBT community Sunday on Meet the Press. Host David Gregory managed to get a pretty clear declaration that Priebus won’t be about to weasel out of once Bryan Fischer [...]
Happy Mother’s Day… |

Not much to say, other than for those of you out there who have recently lost your mom, or those whose mother has passed on some time ago, this is often a bittersweet day. Of course if you had a horrible relationship with her, this day probably evokes complex feelings (thankfully I had a good [...]

Open letter: national black leaders embrace President Obama’s position on LGBT equality |
| By: Pam Spaulding Saturday May 12, 2012 6:27 am |
Just an FYI, in the wake of Amendment One, actually Wednesday and Thursday, I was deluged with requests by news outlets and radio programs for comments about North Carolina, the President’s coming out for marriage equality, or both. That I kind of expected. What I was also asked about by some reporters was the inevitable [...]
Watch it: Lincoln, Nebraska woman’s mind-blowing anti-gay screed at public hearing |
| By: Pam Spaulding Friday May 11, 2012 12:26 pm |
Wow. This is comedy gold. Lincoln, Nebraska is debating a LGBT protection ordinance, and at a public hearing, attendees are treated to a screed that includes why homos are shoplifters, discusses how they shouldn’t work in schools or hospitals, describes an*s-licking and fungus…I couldn’t catalog all of the batsh*ttery, but I hope someone writes up [...]
