Money Flows to Republican Backers of Gay Marriage
ALBANY — Gay rights advocates from Wall Street to Hollywood poured donations into the coffers of four little-known Republican state senators after the lawmakers provided the decisive votes for same-sex marriage in New York last June, according to new campaign finance filings released on Tuesday. The support for the four senators, whose votes broke ranks with their party, is seen by gay rights leaders as symbolically important for their movement nationally, because in many states same-sex marriage could become law only with support from Republicans, as well as conservative Democrats. Maryland, New Jersey and Washington State are expected to consider same-sex marriage legislation this year. The four New York Republicans had been threatened with political retribution by the state’s Conservative Party, and now face possible challenges from both the left and the right, but same-sex marriage supporters had promised to help them politically if they supported the issue.

Newt Gingrich’s Idea of Traditional Marriage Looks a Lot Like What Conservatives Fear About Gay Marriage
Who knew that Newt Gingrich was really a gay man? At least that’s what the latest revelations from his second (but not most recent) wife suggest. In an interview set to air on ABC tonight, Marianne Gingrich said that the former Speaker of the House wanted to have an “open marriage” so that he could have a wife and a mistress. How fun! According to Marianne, Newt at the time was having the affair with Callista Bisek, a Congressional aide 23 years his junior, ”in my bedroom in our apartment in Washington.”
Washington Marriage Bill Gets Another Vote, Corporate Boost
The marriage equality bill in the Washington Senate is just one vote shy of the 25 needed for passage following an announcement from Democratic senator Jim Kastama, while businesses including Microsoft and Nike have also announced their support for the measure. Kastama, a conservative Democrat from Puyallup, south of Seattle, announced his decision at a news conference Thursday afternoon. He said his constituents expected him to be “fiercely independent,” although he believed some voters would never approve of his decision.
Parents Want School to Teach Archaic "Gay Related Immune Deficiency"
By Diane Anderson-Minshall
A number of religious conservative parents — both Christian and Jewish — in the infamous Anoka-Hennepin School District north of Minneapolis, have demanded that school officials purge mention of homosexuality and add instructional information about so-called ex-gay and ex-trans therapies and "GRID" (Gay Related Immune Deficiency, an archaic term that was given to AIDS but hasn't been used by the medical establishment since 1984).
According to Andy Birkey, at the Twin Cities Daily Planet, the school's “neutrality policy” (which is basically a "don't ask, don't tell" policy for the area's public schools, in which LGBT issues are not to be discussed) is under attack by students who say it creates a hostile learning environment. But the Parents Action League, who released a resolution in support of anti-LGBT policies last week, want the policy to remain in place. In addition they called for the addition of anti-gay information, such as the "success" of "ex-homosexual therapy."

'Absolutely Fabulous': BBC AMERICA Presents 20th Anniversary Specials
Twenty years ago, "Absolutely Fabulous" made its debut on American TV. Its two outré main characters, Edina Monsoon and Patsy Stone, were the perfect antidote to three decades of "me generation" madness: the self-absorption of the seventies, the rampant materialism of the eighties and the political correctness of the nineties. "Absolutely Fabulous," with his cast of misfits, took this cultural stew and made one big boozy party out of it.
Edina is a middle-aged, twice-divorced compulsive shopper and slacker mom whose daughter Saffron is the true mature adult in a role-reversed relationship that mocks parenting culture from every angle. Edina's best friend and sidekick Patsy, a magazine editor, is so excessively (but hilariously) dysfunctional that she makes Edina seem saint-like. Nothing is spared their barbed humor, including, of course, sex: "I've spent a fortune in my life trying to get in touch with my sexual being," Edina laments to Patsy in a prior episode. "Do you remember I spent a week celebrating my private parts - do you remember, darling?"
'Sex And The City' Prequel Pilot, 'Carrie Diaries,' And More Ordered By The CW

The CW has ordered three new drama pilots, "The Carrie Diaries" based on the "Sex and the City" prequel book series by Candace Bushnell; "Arrow," based on the DC Comics character; and a procedural version of "Beauty and the Beast." According to The Hollywood Reporter, Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, the players behind "Hart of Dixie" and "Gossip Girl" will executive produce the series. Former "Sex and the City" writer and co-producer Amy B. Harris is adapting the book and will serve as the showrunner for the pilot.
Congress puts anti-piracy bill on backburner amid uproar
WASHINGTON – Congressional leaders announced Friday that they are putting controversial anti-online piracy legislation on the backburner, amid widespread objections from the tech community and others.
Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid said he will postpone an upcoming vote on his chamber's proposal. Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, quickly followed suit, saying consideration of a similar House bill would be postponed "until there is wider agreement on a solution."
Microsoft, Nike Endorse Gay Marriage In Washington
Microsoft and Nike are among the 6 companies who on Thursday endorsed an effort to make Washington the seventh state to legalize gay marriage.
In a letter to Governor Chris Gregoire, the companies wrote: “We write you today to show the support of our respective companies for SB 6239 and HB 2516 recognizing marriage equality for same-sex couples.”
Washington state-based Vulcan, RealNetworks, Group Health Cooperative and Concur also signed the letter.
In a follow-up statement, Microsoft added that not allowing gay marriage could leave Washington companies at a competitive disadvantage: “Washington's employers are at a disadvantage if we cannot offer a similar, equitable and inclusive environment to our talented employees, our top recruits and their families.”
Study: Mental health of gay seniors jeopardized by sexual minority stress
LOS ANGELES — Sexual minority stress, along with aging-related stress, jeopardizes the mental health of midlife and older gay men, according to a new study published by the American Journal of Public Health. In the study, sexual minority stress included the men’s perceptions that they needed to conceal their sexual orientation, or that others were uncomfortable with or avoided them because of they are gay. The study also found that legal marriage for same-sex couples may confer a unique protective effect against poor mental health. Having a same-sex domestic partner or same-sex spouse boosted the emotional health of the studied men, but having a same-sex legal spouse appeared to be the most beneficial relationship arrangement.
A Chippendales Dancer Reveals He’s—Gasp—Gay!
Jaymes Vaughan, a singer and dancer with the infamous Chippendales male revue recently came out in the pages of QVegas magazine. What?!? Chippendales has singers?
Vaughan (that’s him on the far left, freaking Kelli Pickler on Ellen) is actually both lead singer and emcee for The Chippendales’ show at the Rio Hotel and lead vocalist for the casino’s Show In The Sky—often on the same night. Vaughan tells QVegas: “My nights start at 6:00pm and I don’t stop until 12:30am. I start Show In The Sky, run up to Chippendales in time for my first song, run back to Show In The Sky for my next number there, and so it goes each night. There is a four minute break where I run to Burger King, they give me my chicken sandwich and I run back in time to sing my next song.” Gee, what a lazybones. If that weren’t enough, Vaughan has also released a new single, “Vampire,” and recorded the accompanying music video. He says he’s always loved the Dracula types, even as a kid, but that the song is really “about being in a situation where you can’t be yourself; where you can’t live a part of your life in the daylight; being in a relationship that I can’t share with my family. “
Miley Cyrus Joins Gay Marriage Group NOH8 Campaign
Singer Miley Cyrus has joined the NOH8 Campaign, the silent protest which raises awareness and funds for gay rights causes, including ending California's 2008 voter-approved gay marriage ban, Proposition 8.
The NOH8 Campaign is helmed by photographer-activist Adam Bouska and his partner Jeff Parshley. The pair photograph celebrities and everyday folks with their mouths duct taped and the campaign's familiar “NOH8” slogan often written on one cheek.
Cyrus poses in her photo with both hands behind her head and the “NOH8” slogan visible on the palm of one hand.

Canada Reaffirms Legality of All Same-Sex Marriages
In a dramatic turnaround that happened in scarcely more than 24 hours, the government of Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper has repudiated a Justice Department brief that had threatened the validity of thousands of marriages by US same-sex couples there. "Marriages performed in Canada that aren't recognized in the couple's home jurisdiction will be recognized in Canada," Justice Minister Rob Nicholson said in Toronto on January 13, according to the CTV Television Network. "I want to be very clear that our government has no intention of reopening the debate on the definition of marriage.” One day before, an international uproar broke out over a story in the Globe and Mail of Toronto that a Justice Department filing –– in the divorce case of a lesbian couple from outside Canada who married there –– argued that their marriage had never been valid.

It’s going to take years of effort, but hundreds of volunteers used Arbor Day Saturday to begin the process of putting back what Mother Nature took away by planting 25,000 trees in four Houston parks -- Memorial, Hermann, MacGregor and Mason.

Kansas Law on Sodomy Stays on Books Despite a Cull
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Gov. Sam Brownback created the Office of the Repealer to recommend the elimination of out-of-date, unreasonable and burdensome state laws that build up in any bureaucracy over time. For gay men and lesbians, there seemed one particularly obvious candidate: Kansas Statute 21-3505. That would be the “criminal sodomy” statute, which prohibits same-sex couples from engaging in oral or anal sex. The law was rendered unenforceable nearly a decade ago by a United States Supreme Court ruling, but it remains enshrined in the state’s legal code.

2012 could prove landmark year for marriage rights
This could be a landmark year in the marriage equality movement, as several states appear close to enacting marriage rights for gay and lesbian couples. Advocates are working to legalize marriage rights for gay couples in Washington State, Maryland and New Jersey; efforts are also underway to pursue civil unions in Colorado. Meanwhile, opponents are hoping to repeal same-sex marriage in New Hampshire. Washington State could be in the strongest position among other states where advocates are undertaking efforts to legalize marriage equality. The legislation was introduced last week by request from Gov. Chris Gregoire (D), who announced her support in a news conference Jan. 4.

Gay presidential candidate through first-round Finnish vote
Pekka Haavisto, the openly gay candidate in Finland’s presidential race, has come second in the first round of voting. Haavisto, 53, is standing for the Green League. Receiving 18.8% of the vote, he finished behind Sauli Niinistö of the National Coalition Party, with 37%. The result means Haavisto, whose centrist party stands strongly on environmental issues, will face conservative Niinistö in a second vote on 5 February. Currently, Europe has two gay prime ministers: Iceland’s Johanna Siguraardottir and Belgium’s Elio di Rupo.
Judge rules against NJ church group in beach conflict
A judge in New Jersey last week ruled against a religious institution that sought to prevent a same-sex couple from using its beachside boardwalk pavilion for a commitment ceremony. Judge Solomon Metzger found Jan. 12 that the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association violated the state’s Law Against Discrimination when it denied a lesbian couple access to its pavilion, which it had been renting to heterosexual couples for wedding ceremonies. At the time complainants Harriet Bernstein and Luisa Paster applied to use the pavilion in 2007, Metzger said the structure was functioning as a public accommodation, subject to the state’s nondiscrimination law, which includes sexual orientation and gender identity.
Hospital apologizes for ‘delay’ in allowing visit by lesbian partner
The president of the Takoma Park, Md., based Washington Adventist Hospital has apologized for what she says was a “miscommunication” that led to a delay by the hospital in allowing a woman to visit her same-sex partner following the partner’s admission to the emergency room. But hospital president Joyce Newmyer disputes claims by the two women and the Human Rights Campaign that an initial denial of a request to visit the partner was due to discrimination. Instead, she says it was based entirely on a policy of barring anyone from visiting emergency room patients undergoing initial treatment and evaluation.

HAZEL PARK, Mich.— Two lesbians who are raising three children filed a lawsuit Monday to overturn Michigan's ban on adoption by unmarried couples. April DeBoer, with two adopted children, and Jayne Rowse, with one, are longtime partners and nurses who live together with the kids in suburban Detroit. But under state law, they can't adopt them as a couple, an option available only to heterosexual married couples. "Jayne and I love our children as deeply as any other parent loves their kids," DeBoer said in the statement. "We just want our children to have the same protections all other children have so that our kids know they can never be taken from either of us."

San Antonio-- A 31-year-old man claims he was beaten by staff at a bar. Henry De La Paz said the men who removed him from Miami Bar used anti-gay slurs.
Management at Miami Bar near 410 and Blanco deny the allegations and said De La Paz was removed for tossing a glass that hit a bartender.

He said several men beat and kicked him outside the club. He went into the club next door where he said the men attacked him a second time. The two clubs are owned and operated by the same owners. Police responded to the incident but did not have enough evidence to make an arrest.

Houston reaches settlement over red light cameras: turning them off will cost nearly $5M
From HOUSTON MAYOR’S OFFICE
The City of Houston has reached a $4.78 million settlement of the lawsuit filed by American Traffic Solutions (ATS). The agreement brings to an end the legal fight that began when Houston City Council approved ending Houston’s red light camera program. The funds to pay the settlement will come from previously collected fines that are in escrow and the approximately $25 million the City is still owed in outstanding red light camera fines issued when the program was still operational.
“I am thankful that traffic violators, not Houston taxpayers, will be paying for this,” said Mayor Annise Parker. “This is a reasonable settlement and I thank the City legal department for its diligence in getting it done.”
Ellen helps Mario Lopez strip
Mario Lopez proved he’s not just the Rated M underwear creator, but also a Rated M client during this impromptu striptease to promote his new line of skivvies on The Ellen Show Tuesday.

Guess she’s not a 6 on the Kinsey scale after all.
Michelle Obama sits with lesbians
Two openly gay women will join the First Lady in her box (Yes, we’re terrible, Muriel) Tuesday night at President Obama’s third State of the Union address. Col. Ginger Wallace (top right), an Air Force intelligence officer who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, was the first military officer to have a same-sex partner participate in a rank promotion “pinning-on” ceremony after the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” Kathy Knopf, Wallace’s partner of over a decade, helped pin the new Colonel rank on Wallace’s jacket in December.

John Smid, the former Executive Director of Exodus International’s oldest ministry Love in Action, now says: "For many years I tried to fit into the box of heterosexuality.

More States Join On The Gay License Plate Bandwagon
It looks like California might join South Carolina, Indiana and Maryland as one of four states offering a gay-themed license plate: Assembly Member Mary Hayashi (D-Hayward) introduced a bill Wednesday to get approval for a new plate that would visually illustrate support for LGBT youth.(Proceeds from sales would go to a Department of Education anti-bullying campaign.)
“This will be an important opportunity for Californians to show their support for the LGBT community and address a major problem that is affecting all youth,” said Hayashi. “LGBT youth are at an increased risk for bullying, which can have devastating effects on their health, even leading to suicide. By purchasing this plate, the public can put a stop to bullying and help make a difference for our kids.”
Why not? We already have gay cars.
Cynthia Nixon: Bisexuals? We get no respect
After causing a storm of controversy this week when referring to being gay as a “choice” Cynthia Nixon seems to have reluctantly acknowledged that she is, in fact, bisexual. Many critics of the celebrated film and theatre actor suggested that she was confusing being gay with being bi, and that her use of the word “choice” would undermine the battle for LGBT equality. Shortly after shocking fans by revealing that she had shaved her head ahead of performing in a Broadway production of Wit, the 45-year-old addressed these criticisms in a Skype interview with Kevin Sessums of the Daily Beast.
Houston council delays vote on red light camera pact for 2 weeks
The Houston City Council Wednesday put off a vote for two weeks on a proposed settlement with the company that operated the city’s controversial red light cameras -- and that could jeopardize the agreement, says the attorney for American Traffic Solutions.
Radio station KUHF reports that the council may have been influenced by the two brothers who have led opposition to the cameras. Michael and Paul Kubosh pointed out that their federal court challenge to the referendum that overturned the cameras is still awaiting a judgment in federal court. delay
ATS attorney George Hittner said that delay puts the $4.79 million settlement -- what the city has agreed to pay the company to end any litigation and remove the cameras -- at risk, a concern Mayor Annise Parker dismissed.
Mayor Parker Meets with Richard Noble About Full Equal Rights for LGBT People
LGBT activist Richard Noble met with openly gay Houston Mayor Annise Parker Wednesday, Jan. 25, in his continuing Walk Across America for Equal Rights. In an email, Noble said the Equality Pledge 2014 is “in full swing:”
We are very serious and determined by 2014. We are not waiting for a democratic majority and the re-election of President Obama. Every minute we wait is a message to our youth and our community that their dignity and human rights can wait till Washington’s ready. We’re not sending that message. We are telling our people their dignity and value is worth everything we’ve got, right now.
Civil Rights are Everyone’s Rights.
With Love,
Richard
Noble today began a 72 hour fast in front of Lakewood Church where he will be holding a sign simply reading "Jesus loves gay marriage."
