Voices for equality from across Washington state

By: Laurel Ramseyer Saturday October 31, 2009 11:00 am

I was just poking around over at the Approve 71 web page, and wow!  Take a look at the list of Approve 71 Letters to the Editor on their Press Room page.  This list is meaningful in several ways.   First, letter-writing Approve 71 supporters live all over the state (see map), not just in [...]

Watch the powerful new Approve Referendum 71 ad

By: Laurel Ramseyer Tuesday October 20, 2009 2:32 pm

The second Approve 71 television ad is on!  Take a look right here.  We’re almost half way to our goal of raising $40,000 to keep this powerful and effective ad on the air.  A large donor ban is now in place in Washington that prevents donations of over $5,000.  We now rely completely on small [...]

Personalize your fight for the Other Washington political campaign

By: Laurel Ramseyer Sunday October 18, 2009 11:00 am

Thanks Karen Ocamb for sending us this piece, originally posted at LGBT POV! While so much attention has been paid to President Obama’s foot-dragging in Washington, the national march that brought ten of thousands (organizers say up to 150,000) to the steps of the Capitol in DC,  and the campaign in Maine to retain marriage [...]

One Kalamazoo airs its first ad

By: Laurel Ramseyer Wednesday October 14, 2009 10:00 pm

Blend reader Alexander tells us that ONE Kalamazoo is airing its first television ad.  Quite exciting!  He says Kalamazoo is a small city, and ONE Kalamazoo has an even smaller budget, but the ad is remarkably well done, and I think everyone should see it.  I love the coverage you folks do on the Maine [...]

Talk to everyone about approving R-71. Make a video even!

By: Laurel Ramseyer Wednesday October 14, 2009 6:30 pm

Joe & Joe have an idea for a Facebook fun way to reach millions of Washington voters: Ballots start arriving in mail boxes Thursday or Friday of this week.  This is it, people!  Here is what everyone must do: Make sure that everyone you know knows to vote APPROVED on Referendum 71, and why it [...]

Lesbian seniors lead the way in Approve 71 ad campaign

By: Laurel Ramseyer Saturday October 10, 2009 8:01 pm

The Approve71 campaign has released the first tv ad, called Together.  Dominic over at SLOG dubbed it Adorable Lesbians, and I think he got it just right.  Thank you Pete-e and Jane! Jane: Pete-e and I have been together for 32 years.  We were both in nursing, and Pete-e served in the Korean War.   [...]

Q of the Day: What’s your favorite non-American LGBTQ blog or website?

By: Laurel Ramseyer Friday October 9, 2009 2:30 pm

A few weeks ago I got an email from Teresa at Pretty Pink Pearl, a fun social networking site for LGBT folk in Britain.  Clicking around the site made me realize that I’ve been plodding in a pretty well-worn path website-wise.  There must be so much out there in the extra-American LGBT blogosphere that I’m [...]

Protect Marriage Washington just keeps the hits coming

By: Laurel Ramseyer Thursday October 8, 2009 10:00 am

UPDATE: Approve 71′s chair Anne Levinson respoonds to the PMW ads. “The people behind this ad have a history of working on extremist causes that are out of step with the views of mainstream Washingtonians. And they haven’t been letting the facts get in their way. This ad is very disrespectful to the thousands of [...]

OMFG Protect Marriage Washington posts an ad

By: Laurel Ramseyer Wednesday October 7, 2009 5:25 pm

Togas?  Blonds on the savanna?  Tigers on the savanna?  My but God does work in mysterious ways.  Donate now to help us drown out this rubbish with some sanity. In the beginning, GOD created the heaven and the earth,and formed man.  And he made a woman and brought her unto the man.  Thus God established, [...]

Equal Rights Washington launches community education ad

By: Laurel Ramseyer Monday October 5, 2009 8:00 pm

Equal Right Washington Education Fund has launched the new community education ad “Am I Protected?”. Every day, LGBT people face inequalities that just don’t make sense, from small acts of discrimination to ones with tragic consequences. The hard reality is that we find out what rights we don’t have when we need them the most. [...]
