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:
Snack Attack? Drink a Shake
 
A protein shake is an ideal snack because it's filling and easy to make. I recommend whey protein shakes. Whey protein is the most bioavailable source of protein, which means that it's the easiest source for your body to digest. Whey protein shakes are the best way to feed your muscles what they need to build and repair themselves after your workouts.

However, I understand that you might want some other option. The next best thing: low-fat (2%) cottage cheese. A half cup is only 100 calories, has only 2 grams of fat, and provides over 15 grams of protein. Remember, you are here to create your best-looking body ever… you need to keep your snacks simple.
And Now, Muscle 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, you should select the guy that may inspire you to exercise and "get fit!"   Warning: This may stoke you!

Mexico City Offers Free Honeymoon to Argentina's 1st Married Gay Couple
Offer Intended to Adertise Gay-Friendly Tourism
 
By SARA MILLER LLANA / MEXICO CITY/  July 17, 2010 / ABC NEWS
 
Mexico City has promised a free honeymoon in this megapolis for the first same-sex couple that marries in Argentina.

It is definitely an offer intended to advertise gay-friendly tourism, which many cities have sought to promote, but Mexico City´s offer is not as random as it might appear at first: the two locales have both legalized gay marriage in Latin America.

Mexico City did so last year. And after more than 14 hours of a heated debate and warring words, Argentina today became the first country in Latin America to embrace same-sex marriage nationwide.

Argentina's Senate early Thursday passed the bill 33-27 to grant same-sex couples all the legal rights of marriage that heterosexual couples enjoy.

The bill had been passed in May by Argentina's lower house, and is firmly supported by President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, who is expected to sign it into law when she returns later this week from a state visit to China.

The debate pitted traditional voices and the Roman Catholic Church against President Fernandez and widespread public sentiment. Nearly 70 percent of Argentines support same-sex marriage, according to a June survey by Buenos Aires-based firm Analogias. Just seven years ago, a poll found that nearly half of all Argentines opposed a law that legalized civil unions in the capital.

Bitter divisions

Today's debate still drew bitter divisions between supporters and opponents, as it has across the US, Europe, and pockets of Latin America.

Local television showed thousands of protesters braving the cold wintry air of Buenos Aires to voice opposition to the bill throughout the night, while supporters held candlelight vigils. The government's National Institute against Discrimination, Xenophobia, and Racism organized a public gathering of artists to support the bill.

In deeply Catholic Latin America, the church has taken a leading voice among opponents. Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio called gay marriage in Argentina a loss for everyone, saying "children need to have the right to be raised and educated by a father and a mother."

Ms. Fernandez, speaking from China, reiterated her support for the bill and her dissent with the Catholic Church over the issue. "It's very worrisome to hear words like 'God's war' or 'the devil's project,' things that recall the times of the Inquisition," she said this week.

Political calculations

Some political analysts have suggested the president's support is a political calculation to garner votes for upcoming presidential elections in 2011, in which former president Nestor Kirchner, Fernandez's husband, is widely expected to run.

But the Kirchners and their supporters are hardly outliers on the issue.

Mexico City became the first city in Latin America to approve gay marriage in December. The bill here came as civil unions between same-sex couples gained steam across Latin American cities, first in Buenos Aires in 2002 and later in cities throughout Mexico and Brazil. In 2007 the Constitutional Court in Colombia granted same-sex couples rights such as inheritance and health insurance. The next year, Uruguay legalized civil unions nationwide.

Argentina has now gone the furthest of any nation in the region, and proponents are hoping the move influences other nations.

Will other nations follow?

"I think it will have enormous impact in Argentina and South America and around the world, including in the US, because it signifies the tremendous momentum in favor of the freedom to marry," says Evan Wolfson, executive director of Freedom to Marry in the US.

Twelve countries now have ended exclusions for gay marriage, he says, and the emphasis in Argentina on equal rights for all will be instructive for other nations moving forward.

"It centered on how a country like Argentina must stand for equality for all, including vulnerable minorities when it comes to civil law [issues] such as marriage licenses," he says. "What many legislators and the president said is that it is important to shore up the rule of law and true democratic values, rather than playing favorites or imposing one group's view.
