Consider joining:

Take Action:

  • 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 immediate end of DADT. It is out-right discrimination.
  • Boycott Bill O'Reilly and FOX News and their advertisers.  Bill discussed a French commerical by McDonalds that was meant to show that McDonalds is Gay Friendly. Bill said what is next? Is McDonalds going to get be Al-Qaida friendly as well?  Further, Bill said that McDonalds would never show a gay friendly commercial in the USA.   Imagine,  Bill is comparing Gays to Al-Qaida.
  • Boycott Arizona because of their uncivilized anti-Immigration Law that encourages racial profiling and increases hatred towards minorities.  A remedy: Demand Republicans to  support Immigration Reform.   

Diet & Fitness:

  • Did you complete your Diet Journal today?  Get it done!
  • Did you do any physical activity?  If not, make a point of it by tomorrow! 
  • It is our hope that these photos shall inspire you!

Today's Health/Excercise Tip:
Bright Ideas for Staying Motivated 

How do you feel when you're in the dark? Whether it's daylight savings or a dark house, you naturally slow down and become tired. It's a biological fact: For thousands of years, the human race has gone to sleep when it's dark and has woken up when it's light.

To keep you energized and fired up for your fitness goals, I want you to brighten up your living quarters. Living in a sunny, well-lit home will help you stay productive, even if it's dark outside. Here are a few tips for keeping your attitude bright and cheery:

  • Switch all of your home lighting to 100-watt bulbs (Stay GREEN & use energy saver bulbs. Purchase the "Day Light" variety for the brightest).
  • Go outside for a few minutes each day.
  • Arrange your home to take advantage of open windows.
  • Leave your shades up at night so that the sunlight will wake you naturally in the morning.

Lighting up your life will help you rocket toward your fitness goals in no time!

And Now, Hair Wars!

US gay rights group gets UN accreditation

By EDITH M. LEDERER (AP) - July 19, 2010

UNITED NATIONS --- The U.N. Economic and Social Council voted Monday to accredit the U.S.-based International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission after strong lobbying by the Obama administration.

Obama, in a statement issued by the White House, welcomed the vote as an "important step forward for human rights." With the group's inclusion, he said "the United Nations is closer to the ideals on which it was founded, and to values of inclusion and equality to which the United States is deeply committed."

The group will now be able to attend U.N. meetings, submit statements and collaborate with both government and U.N. agencies on human rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, commission officials said.

The 54-member council, known as ECOSOC, approved the U.S.-based group's application for consultative status by a vote of 23-13 with 13 abstentions. Many of those voting "no" -- including Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Russia and China -- cited procedural reasons.

But the U.S. government and 14 members of Congress who supported the organization's application said they believe it had not been approved previously because the group promotes gay rights.

The International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission, which has offices in South Africa, Argentina and the Philippines, has been trying since 2007 to get consultative status with ECOSOC, which serves as the main U.N. forum for discussing international economic and social issues.

"We are thrilled," Jessica Stern, the commission's program director, told AP after the vote.

"Given that more than 70 countries still have sodomy laws in effect and that homophobia is rampant around the world, this recogition by the international community, and the human rights standards that the U.N. represents, is invaluable to our work," Stern said.

Of the 3,200 NGOs which enjoy consultative status at the U.N., Stern said only nine are gay and lesbian groups.

The group's accreditation is a victory for Obama, who has been chipping away at a long list of promises to gay voters, a strong source of support in the 2008 election.

Last month, the committee that accredits nongovernmental organizations, or NGOs, decided to take "no action" on the group's application.

Stern said Egypt led the opposition to the commission's application. A telephone call to Egypt's U.N. Mission seeking comment on the vote was not returned.

After the NGO Committee's "no action" decision, the United States decided to go directly to ECOSOC, which is holding its annual meeting in New York.

U.S. deputy ambassador Rosemary DiCarlo noted that the NGO Committee has refused to grant consultative status to any gay or lesbian organization for more than a decade.
