Due to the boycott & pressure from stockholders, their CEO has stepped down; But, remains on the Board. Further, Whole Foods has made no retraction of these anti-Healthcare reform comments & continues to support Republican agenda.
- Boycott Exxon OIL. Do not purchase their GAS. "Exxon scored as the worst company for the LGBT to work for!" In fact, before Exxon purchased Mobil Oil, Mobile had same gender partner benefits. Well, that changed for those employees when Exxon purchased Mobil - as same gender-partner benefits went out the door! Therefore, as we have choices, we don't need Exxon.
- Boycott advertisers of Glenn Beck on Fox News as well as all of FOX NEWS! Glenn has lied about Health-care, called our President a racist, and is anti-gay rights.
- We demand Public Option to be added to Health Reform.
- End DADT NOW!

Today's Health/Excercise Tip:Don't Go HungryCutting calories is difficult. But recognizing when you've cut too many calories is easy – you're hungry! When the urge comes over you to eat whatever's in front of you, whether it's actually food or your plastic plate, you've definitely gone too long without eating.
Most dieters worry too much about overeating and suffer through the hunger pangs, only to end up heavier and crankier than they started. Why? Eating too few calories can drastically reduce your body's metabolism – by up to 30%. So even though you may have saved yourself 300 calories by skipping breakfast, you can actually reduce your body's energy expenditure by upwards of 600 calories as your body goes into starvation mode.
For the average person who needs to eat 2,000 calories a day to maintain their body weight, that's a lot of lost calories! And trying to make up for it by burning off 600 extra calories in the gym after you're already weak from not eating is no easy feat. In fact, it's one you shouldn't attempt.
Don't ignore your hunger. Eat sensibly and pay close attention to how many calories you're eating if you're trying to cut calories back. Never eat fewer than 1,200 calories a day. If you become overly tired or grumpy on your diet, your body is telling you to eat more calories to fuel its everyday needs. Listen to your body! Many times, it's smarter than you are.

Gay rights activists stage 'kiss-in'
Demonstration comes after couple allege discrimination at Alsip restaurant
About 100 gay rights activists puckered up to prove a point at a south suburban restaurant Friday night.
"It's to educate people that homophobia of any kind is unacceptable, " said Frank Nielsen, who organized the "kiss-in" demonstration after being asked by the restaurant's owner last month to stop kissing boyfriend Danny Hankes.
"My boyfriend and me are like anyone else," said Nielsen, 22. "I have straight allies and gay allies with me here tonight."
The protestors, men and women, straight and gay, were greeted calmly by both clientele and the owner of La Fiesta Azteca in Alsip, where at least four police cars idled outside. Once inside, the group clinked water glasses, kissed and applauded.
"They have their opinion, and I have mine," said restaurant owner Jaime Esparza. "I don't feel like I did anything wrong when I told them to leave."
Nielsen and Hankes said they kissed while having dinner at the restaurant in the 12600 block of South Pulaski Road on May 7, then were approached by the owner and told to stop.
"We kissed a few times on the lips, but it was not vulgar," said Hankes, 19, who lives in Lemont.
After being reprimanded, the couple decided to leave, Hankes said. But the owner blocked their path until they paid for their appetizers and drinks.
"The manager puffed out his chest and said, 'You're going to pay,'" Hankes said. "Frankie threw a $20 bill on the table, and we stormed out."
Esparza said he was never hostile and didn't refuse to serve the couple. He said he would ask any couple to respect his restaurant and leave the kissing outside.
"They are saying I kicked them out, but I didn't," he said. "I asked them, really polite, I said, 'I know you guys are in love, and you're young. It's OK. But don't do it here.'
"I said, 'You don't have to get upset. Enjoy your food, your drink also, but behave until you're done. Respect this place.'"
Esparza said the couple came into the restaurant holding hands and exchanging kisses. At one point, they were kissing each other on the neck and other customers began to look uncomfortable. He said he insisted they pay for their food because they ate some of it.
"I said, 'You're going because you want to. I didn't tell you to leave, I told you to behave,'" he said. "If I would be discriminating, I would say you guys are not allowed as soon as they walk in."
After the confrontation, Nielsen said he called the restaurant and asked for an apology and a refund, but Esparza refused.
Nielsen and Hankes said they told their story to friends and supporters at local gay clubs, coffee shops and on Facebook. When they connected with the Gay Liberation Network, they decided to organize Friday's protest.
"We have a law that guarantees gay people equal access to accommodations, " said Andy Thayer, co-founder of the Chicago-based Gay Liberation Network. "The fact is, proprietors have no problem with differently sexed couples embracing or kissing in a nonsexual manner. Yet when Frankie and Danny did it, the manager stormed up to them and made a scene."
By protesting, the couple said they hope to expose discrimination in the conservative south suburb.
"I hope the establishment realizes we have a large community that won't be silenced," Nielsen said.
