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.
- Did you complete your Diet Journal today? Get it done!

Today's Health/Excercise Tip:Do You Have Patience?We are a society that likes to get things quickly. And one of the negative, unintended consequences of modern-day living and state-of-the-art technology is the loss of patience. It's such an important human quality and is at the heart of almost all great discoveries and inventions. However, with today's drive-thru-window mentality, most people tend to want everything NOW!
The truth is that most things in life of real value take time to acquire and are worthy of the wait. As a matter of fact, what comes after waiting is what provides the greatest satisfaction and intense sense of pleasure. Dale Carnegie, author of How to Win Friends and Influence People, once said, "Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all." So today I ask you to reconsider the virtue of patience and decide whether you have too much of a drive-thru-window mentality.
This group is called "Peckers PICS." The English - slang definition of "pecker" is to pluck at the truth. Therefore, we peck at items such as Gay Men's Health and Male Fitness, Gay (LGBT) Politics & Issues. In this section you may peck at each photo in order to decide the winner of the "war of the fittest!" Whereas, who is the model that may inspire you to exercise and "get fit?" Warning: This may stoke you!

Focus on the Family is accusing Google of giving its gay and lesbian employees special treatment.
The information giant announced a new policy that will compensate its gay and lesbian employees for the federal taxes they must pay on when they take advantage of domestic partner health benefits. The perk, however, hasn't been extended to unmarried heterosexual couples on the payroll, though, for obvious reasons, because heterosexuals "have the option of avoiding the tax by getting married."
Focus cried foul to FOX NEWS saying: "If Google wants to be truly fair to its employees, it should consider extra compensation to married heterosexuals who are bitten every April 15 by the marriage-penalty tax," spokesman Gary Schneeberger told FoxNews.com. "How is offering more money to only one group to offset a perceived inequity not a form of discrimination against those groups not fortunate enough to receive such bonuses?"
Fox legal analyst Lisa Wiehl said the law could be challenged on grounds of 'reverse discrimination': "because of the equal pay for equal work statute which says that if I'm doing the same job as the person next to me that my marital status or sexual orientation shouldn't be taken into consideration. It's my work performance that should be taken into consideration."
Readers commenting on the Fox site are vowing to boycott Google in favor of Bing, Microsoft's latest venture into the search engine business.
They might want to rethink that move, too, since Microsoft was one of the first companies to include sexual orientation in its non-discrimination policies and actually offers "partial coverage for transgender surgery (effective in 2006) to its existing coverage of other transgender-specific health benefits."
In the words of Homer Simpson, "D'oh!"
Two thoughts come to mind while reading this:
1. Good on Google for doing something Congress should have done when they passed health care reform. Removing the unfair taxation of domestic partner benefits was in the original legislation but was stripped out in the Senate version. (They also announced in the same blog post that they would begin offering family and medical leave to its gay and lesbian employees.)
2. I thought conservative groups like Focus on the Family were champions of business and the free market. If a company wants to give an extra perk one group of its employees so it can attract and retain qualified talent, then what business is it of yours? Or, do you only champion the freedom of businesses to do as they please only when it benefits the people you like?
"Every gay and lesbian person who has been lucky enough to survive the turmoil of growing up is a survivor. Survivors always have an obligation to those who will face the same challenges."
