- 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.

Today's Health/Excercise Tip:Eat Cake
If you love to bake, you probably have a hard time steering clear of the goodies you make.
But you don't have give up baking; just do it smarter. Most recipes can be made healthier with low-cal substitutes. For example, use egg whites instead of whole eggs or whole-wheat flour instead of bleached.
Another tasty way to slim down recipes for muffins, cakes, cupcakes and cookies is to substitute equal parts applesauce for the oil or butter.For every tablespoon of applesauce, you'll save almost 100 calories and 14 grams of fat. The best part is you won't even taste the difference. Just make sure to use a smooth no-sugar-added applesauce to reduce calories and avoid mysterious chunks in your cupcakes.
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!

July 9, 2010 / Huffington Post / Michael B. KeeganWatching Elena Kagan's Supreme Court confirmation hearings last week, I felt like I was seeing her interview for two different jobs. Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee were interviewing Kagan for a position on the Supreme Court requiring a depth of legal knowledge, a nuanced view of the Constitution, and an ability to engage thoughtfully on issues like the First Amendment, workplace arbitration, and oil spill litigation. The Republicans, by and large, were at a different hearing. With little ammunition to defend the current conservative Court against substantive constitutional criticisms, they were unable to escape the irresistible pull of their biggest irrational obsession. In other words, they set out looking for a Supreme Court Justice who shares their strong, anachronistic dislike of gay people.
It wasn't always like this. Remember when the Republican party wanted to keep government out of America's bedrooms? Despite the American people's increasing and matter-of-fact acceptance of gays and lesbians, this GOP gay witch hunt has only seemed to increase in its intensity, becoming even more shrill and more embarrassing.
We were once again given a strong reminder of this at Elena Kagan's confirmation hearings, when Republican senators hosted a four day-long attack on the nominee based on one issue--her opposition to Don't Ask, Don't Tell, the anti-gay policy that is not only overwhelmingly unpopular across the political spectrum, but is unlikely to even be on the books by this time next year.
This line of attack was catnip for the GOP because it provided a too tempting mix of three Republican stock favorites: provoking resentment of gay people, accusing Democrats of being anti-military, and insinuating the existence of an Ivy League East Coast Elite Conspiracy. With so many critically important issues facing the country and the world, this Republican obsession came off as a ridiculous hot mess of intolerance and irrelevance.
The actual accusation that the GOP levied at Kagan--that she was somehow hostile to the military because she set up an alternate location for military recruitment at Harvard Law School in order to accommodate both the school's non-discrimination policy and military recruiters-- was widely discredited and absolutely denied by many Harvard Law students who readily found military jobs during Kagan's tenure.
Yet Republicans in the Senate were fixated on the Pro-Gay, Pro-Harvard, Anti-Military axis. Sen. Jeff Sessions, the leading Republican on the committee, spent the majority of his time at the hearings badgering Kagan about her actions as dean, and his party brought in three men in uniform--Republican activists who had, it seemed, never actually met Kagan--to testify against her. (This testimony included some ironic exchanges in which the witnesses compared Harvard's military recruiting policy to racial segregation- -a comparison that noted civil rights activist Sen. Sessions ate up).Had they thought about it rationally, the GOP might have chosen another topic. The American people have overwhelmingly rejected discrimination in military service, and Don't Ask, Don't Tell is in the process of being phased out by Congress and the military: Kagan's firm opposition to the policy is solidly in the mainstream, and entirely compatible with support for the armed forces. To most of the country, there are more important issues than the placement of Career Placement at Harvard.
But the Republicans' gay obsession will apparently flourish as long as it can still be sold to a shrinking extreme-right base. When will the Republican rank and file tell their leaders that they are concerned about things other than holding back the tide of progress toward equality?
"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."
