It's always funny that these conservatives are always trying to make it seem as if their main target is gay people--when their real target is civil liberties for all

Next, healthy buffet--I'm gonna need to write this one down whenever I go--I think it's been quite a while since I ate at a buffet

How to Buffer All-You-Can-Eat Buffets

By Carly Young / March 24, 2011

There's one piece of advice nutritionists agree on: Stay away from the buffet!

All-you-can-eat smorgasbords of your favorite fatty foods encourage you to fill your plate time and time again, stuffing yourself until you can't squeeze in another bite. But you can't avoid buffets for the rest of your life. Whether you're with a large group who wants to hit the Chinese buffet around the corner, or you just can't resist the call of the Indian buffet with the amazing samosas, here are some tips to indulge yourself without bingeing:
•Start with a large salad. Load a large bowl with dark leafy greens and heap on healthy extras like tomatoes, carrots and mushrooms.
•For your entrée, pick one un-fried, non-battered dish. Chinese beef and broccoli is fairly healthy, as is Indian chicken curry.
•Pick only one type of carbohydrate. Instead of eating a muffin, baked roll and pasta salad, choose your favorite and ignore the rest.
•You deserve a little treat every now and then, so don't be afraid to get another single-serving of one dish you really enjoy. Go ahead and have the fried sweet and sour pork, another muffin or a piece of cake. Just remember that key phrase here is "single-serving."
Just because you can eat three platefuls worth of naan or chow mein doesn't mean you should. If you follow the buffet survival plan above, you'll feel satisfied and healthy - and you'll still be able to respect yourself the morning after.

Bachmann praises ouster of Iowa judges in gay marriage ruling
Mar 24, 2011 / By Catalina Camia, USA TODAY

Potential GOP presidential candidate Michele Bachmann saluted conservative Iowa voters yesterday, praising them for ousting three state Supreme Court judges involved in legalizing gay marriage.

The Minnesota congresswoman repeatedly criticized judges as "black-robed masters" in her remarks to home-schooling advocates in Des Moines, according to Politico.

"What I love about Iowa is you are fighters, you don't take 'no' for an answer," Bachmann said, according to the Associated Press. "If you have judges who thwart the will of the people, you send them packing. Thank you, Iowa, for what you have done to uphold the Constitution."

In a rare rebuke by Iowa voters, Supreme Court Chief Justice Marsha Ternus and Justices David Baker and Michael Streit were thrown out of office in November, in what otherwise would have been a routine re-election campaign. They were involved in the 2009 court ruling that sanctioned same-sex marriage in Iowa, the first Midwestern state to do so.

Bachmann's comments about judges stood out at the rally of about 1,000 people who came out in support of home schooling. Home-schooling advocates and evangelical voters play a key role in the Iowa presidential caucuses and helped propel former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee to victory in the 2008 contest.

Bachmann, who is likely to make a decision about the 2012 race this summer, said she home-schooled her five children.

Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, and former pizza executive Herman Cain, who are considering White House bids, also spoke to the crowd.

Paul warned the audience that "the government will always be a threat," whether the issue is education or medicine, according to the AP report.
"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."

Dem rejects block grants in Medicaid

By Jason Millman - 03/31/11 - The HILL

The top Democrat on the House Budget Committee said he will fight back against GOP plans to turn Medicaid into a block grant system.

"Although our Republican colleagues have not yet released their proposed budget resolution, all indications are that they would like to dismantle the Medicaid program, doing serious damage to the health care safety net in this country, particularly for senior citizens and persons with disabilities who rely on Medicaid for long-term care," Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) said in a statement.

The Hill reported last week Republicans are looking at Medicaid cuts of up to $1 trillion. The Hill also reported Wednesday that Budget Chairman Paul Ryan's (R-Wis.) 2012 budget, which will be released next week, will definitely make convert Medicaid to block grants, but committee members are still discussing specifics.

Democrats and Republicans are waging political war over the healthcare program for the poor ahead of Ryan's budget unveiling. On Thursday morning, the National Republican Congressional Committee released a memo that seemed to link high-profile Democrats with previous support for Medicaid block grants.

Van Hollen met with Medicaid beneficiary and provider groups on Thursday to discuss the likely GOP budget. The Hill reported last week that the advocates fear Democrats will be forced to accept deep Medicaid cuts as a compromise with Republicans.

On Thursday, Van Hollen voiced strong opposition to block grants.

"Block granting Medicaid is simply code for slashing health care support for seniors, people with disabilities, and others," he said. "It is not reform. It does nothing to reduce health care costs. It simply gives governors a blank check and a license to deny critical care to millions of seniors and to people with disabilities."
Take Action:
  • Boycott advertisers of Glenn Beck - Fox News.  Glenn Beck is anti-gay rights.
  • Update: DADT has been repealed. President Obama has kept his promise!
  • Boycott Bill O'Reilly and FOX News and their advertisers.  Bill discussed a French commercial by McDonalds that was meant to show that McDonalds is Gay Friendly. Bill said what is next? Is McDonalds going to be Al-Qaida friendly as well?  Imagine - Bill O'Reilly compares Gays to Al-Qaida!
  • Boycott Arizona the home of  "hater" - U.S. Senator John McCain. Arizona's Hateful anti-Immigration Law - encourages racial profiling and increases hatred towards minorities.  A remedy: Demand Republicans to  support Immigration Reform (The Dream Act). Further, Senator McCain voted against ending DADT and Blocked Immigration reform! 
  • Boycott Target, Best Buy, Gold's Gym - for donating money towards anti-gay political candidates/organizations. Update: (12/26/2010): Target is continuing to donate to anti-gay groups/causes/politicians. Update 03/08/11 - Lady Gaga Ends Target Partnership, Reportedly Over Target's Poor LGBT Stance. Update 3/25/2010 - Target displays their hypocrisy and Sues California Gay Rights Group for Lobbying Outside Stores.  Target is attempting to block the LGBT right of free speech!  STOP SHOPPING AT TARGET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • End DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act).  Prevents Federal employees and Gays in the Military from gaining equal benefits. Prevents Gay Partners from gaining equal benefits.    
  • Pass ENDA (Employee Non-Discrimination Act).  ENDA would prevent employment discrimination of  LGBT workforce.
  • Boycott Salvation Army as they will not hire Gays! "DO NOT DONATE TO THEM."
  • BOYCOTT "Chick-fil-a" for donating to anti-gay marriage groups.
  • BOYCOTT KOCH INDUSTRIES PRODUCTS- to include their products: Angel Soft toilet paper / Brawny paper towels / Dixie plates, bowls, napkins & cups / Mardi Gras napkins and towels / Quilted Northern toilet paper / Soft 'n Gentle toilet paper / Sparkle napkins / Vanity fair napkins / Zee napkins / Georgia-Pacific paper products & envelopes / All Georgia-Pacific lumber & building products (INVISTA Products) / Lycra / Stainmaster Carpet.   The billionaire - Koch brothers are ultra republican - tea bag founders/supporters that do not support causes of the LGBT community.
  • Boycott WALMART - The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, force criticized Wal-Mart for denying employee benefits to same-s-x partners and for failing to prohibit discrimination based on gender identity. By comparison, the group said two other chain stores with a strong presence in New York, Costco and Walgreens, did much better.
  • NEW: Boycott Donald Trump, The Apprentice and NBC Network! Trump stated he is considering a run for president as a Republican. In a interview with the Des Moines Register, Trump added that he opposes all forms of legal recognition for gay couples, not just marriage. "They should not be able to marry," he said. So why does NBC keep the Apprentice running - when Donald Trump has stated he may run for president? Boycott NBC! Boycott advertisers of The Apprentice and Trump's other business's. Don't shop at any building with Donald Trump's name!  The Donald has expressed extreme Hatred.  Remember how poorly he treated Rosie O'Donnel?  Now we know why he did that!  It was hate against a lesbian as we now know he is hater.  Unforgiveable!  Ready to dump NBC because they air Donald Trump's "The Apprentice"?  Start Watching CBS Evening News with Katie Couric.
  • NEW: Boycott "APPLE." For the current owners and the aspiring owners of the I-phone,  Apple allows an application, "The Gay App", which is supposed to help gay individuals turn straight.  This is a step in the wrong direction.
    Apple needs to know that the decision to allow this App on their products is a fallacious idea! Update: March 23, 2011:  Apple removed this app from USA stores; but, possibly not from foreign stores.  This is offensive not just towards the LGBT community in the USA; but, offensive to  the entire LGBT community around the world.  How does anyone approve such a hateful, despicable app towards the LGBT community? Especially when Gay Teens are killing themselves after being harrassed by their church, parents, as well as  by bully's and teachers at school. The idea that this app was used, solicited is disgusting.  
  • Remember David Kato, Gay activist - Uganda, who was slain because he is gay!

Gay Sailor Won't Be Discharged in 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' Case
Ban on gays serving openly in the military still technically in effect as repeal phases in

By Aaron Glantz / March 31, 2011 / The Bay Citizen

Derek Morado won't be kicked out of the Navy after all.

The 26-year-old Navy petty officer second class on Thursday walked out of a six-hour hearing at Naval Air Station Lemoore, outside Fresno, and breathed a high of relief.

The Navy Administrative Separation Board recommended Morado be allowed to stay in the military even though he revealed he was gay on his MySpace page.

"My personal life will continue to be my personal life," he told The Bay Citizen, "but now I don't have to hide, I don't have to struggle."

As a result of the hearing, Morado -- a Sacramento native -- will be allowed to continue his duties at Lemoore, where he builds missiles and bombs.

At the hearing, four friends testified on Morado's behalf -- two members of the U.S. Navy and two people outside the military.

The Navy did not present any witnesses in support of a discharge.

Morado's hearing occurred exactly 100 days after President Barack Obama signed legislation phasing in a repeal of the "don't ask, don't tell" policy that forbids gays and lesbians from serving openly in the military.

The policy remains in effect, though the director of the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network, which represents gay soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines said he was aware of just one discharge under the policy since the repeal passed.

Heather Cronk, managing director of the LGBT-rights group GetEQUAL.org, which has been supporting Morado, offered cautious optimism in response to the Administrative Board's decision.

"We don't know how many others are in Derek's situation, but it's clear that there are still people being negatively impacted by this policy -- even after it's been repealed," she said.

Before the hearing's conclusion, a Navy spokesman told The Bay Citizen that even if the personnel board found Morado had violated don't ask, don't tell, he would not have been immediately discharged.

"While the policy still remains in effect, no military person will be discharged without the approval of the service secretary," in this case the Secretary of the Navy, Navy spokesman Brian O'Rourke said.

The Servicemembers Legal Defense Network estimates that don't ask, don't tell will completely eliminated this year, either in the summer or fall.

"I suppose it could take longer, but I hope it doesn't," Morado said. "The Navy and the military as a whole can only move up from here on out."
"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."
