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:
    Mall Food Mayhem
     
    The smell of fresh-baked soft pretzels, creamy blended drinks and whipped cream-topped espresso is enough to send you into a snacking frenzy. Add on to that the stress of finding the right pair of jeans or the emotional distress of seeing yourself bulge out of a bathing suit, and you're headed straight toward a stress-driven mall food binge.

    Sure, shopping burns calories and all that walking has to amount to something, but you could easily be overdoing it by nibbling on typical mall food offerings along the way.

    Strategies for avoiding mall food crash-and-burn include:
    • Eating a healthy meal before you get to the mall or right when you get there so you're not ready to grab anything that smells good.
    • Stow a bottle of water in your shopping bag to keep you hydrated and calm any false hunger signals.
    • Revive yourself with a massage chair instead of relying on food to regain your energy.

    And finally, if you really decide that you want to indulge in something, make it worth your while. Choose one sinfully delicious piece of high-quality chocolate (preferably dark) from the candy store and savor every last bit.

    And Now, Model Wars!

    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!

    Gay rights groups say they are sad by Hawaii Governor Linda Lingle's Tuesday veto against civil unions for gay couples.
     

    "Today is a sad day for the thousands of Hawaii families who remain second class citizens," Alan Spector, legislative affairs co-chair for Equality Hawaii, said. The group had lobbied hard for Lingle to approve the bill that would have recognized gay and lesbian couples with civil unions.

    The Republican governor rejected the measure approved by lawmakers in April after considering the issue over the entire 45 days allowed by law. She said she vetoed the bill because it was too similar to marriage.

    The bill is "essentially same sex marriage by another name," she said.

    Lingle has said she believes marriage is a heterosexual union. But eight years ago, she promised she would sign a bill that grants gay couples similar rights.

    "On the issue of domestic partnerships, I have stated that if the Legislature [should] pass legislation granting certain rights, I would not veto that legislation," Lingle answered PBS moderator Linda Taira during a live debate.

    Nationwide gay rights groups have also expressed their disappointment with Lingle's decision.

    "Americans nationwide share in the disappointment and outrage of thousands of Hawaii's families who will not receive equal treatment under law," Joe Solmonese, president of the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), the nation's largest gay advocate, said.

    Other groups had harsher words for the governor, including the Rev. Carolyn M. Golojuch, who heads the Oahu chapter of PFLAG, a support group for parents and friends of people who are gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender.

    Golojuch said Lingle's decision had "denied" gay couples "social justice."

    "Her denial is a violation of the integrity of her office and a violation of her oath of office," she said. "Governor Lingle's denial of equal rights, benefits and protections for one segment of our citizens is a denial for all of our citizens of Hawaii."

    The latest round in Hawaii's long-running gay marriage debate began last year when the bill easily cleared the House but stalled in the state Senate. The bill was amended to include heterosexual couples, but the session ended without a debate. When lawmakers reconvened in January, senators approved the amended version of the measure but House leaders left the bill unattended until the final day of the legislative session in April. Late on that day, House Majority Leader Blake Oshiro made a motion to bring back the measure. Oshiro, an openly gay Democrat, previously denied he would revive the measure.

    The last-minute moves were blasted by Lingle in her veto announcement. She called reviving the civil unions bill on the final day of the legislative session "wrong" and "unfair."

    Lingle's decision is expected to be the final say on the debate for now because lawmakers failed to approve the measure with a veto-proof majority.

    Still, some gay rights advocates, including Freedom to Marry, a group that lobbies for marriage equality throughout the nation, are calling on the Legislature to override the governor's veto.

    House leaders announced Friday they would not attempt to override any of the governor's vetoes.

    Hawaii was the first state to grapple with gay marriage when the state Supreme Court struck down a law that limited marriage to heterosexual couples in 1993. But in approving a constitutional amendment that defines marriage as a heterosexual union, voters overturned the decision in 1998. The amendment leaves the door open for other forms of legal recognition for gay and lesbian couples.
