Re: [Peckers_Pics] Male/Gay Health-Discussion-PICS Twink Wars-Jul 1, 2011-KEITH OLBERMANN-Current TV, M-F 8PM EST



DOMA is the only thing standing in the way of marriage equality on the federal level. DOMA will be repealed and/or overturned but going through court would be a slow death, but a death nonetheless that would completely resolve this issue. It's terrible that this law was allowed to hurt people since 04 when the first gay marriages were solemnized in the U.S.

It just hurts me to know that real people are being hurt by this law. I am just ready to get in the fight against this as well...However, we're focusing on GENDA in New York, spread the word please so that we can drum up support for this law in NYS!

Thanks Jake!

Moderator: suggestions are needed and appreciated. I will do what I
can. If re-elected, Pres. Obama has Doma being tackled after re-
election. But, we require democratic congress. If the house of reps
remained Democratic, it would have been tackled next year. Also, We really
never had solid majority in the senate and house as several of those
democratics are blue Dogs (represent - a country with slavery, that
left the republican party due to Lincoln. Most went back to
republican party following the civil rights amendment. Now, you might
as well call them the Tea Party!) Question: What is Cuomo's stance
on Genda? ...jake

Health - Wellness - Exercise - Reflections:
Tips for Designing Your Home Gym

By Emily Battaglia - June 28, 2011

If you're in the market for a home gym, which type of exercise equipment is the best one to choose? Is it the treadmill, or maybe the stationary bike? Or perhaps the machine that'll get you in the best shape is an elliptical trainer.

Newsflash: No piece of machinery is going to get you in shape if you don't use it. In other words, the best machine you can buy is the one you're actually going to enjoy using, and the one you're going to use most often. If you absolutely despise the treadmill, don't think that setting one up in your garage is going to suddenly inspire you to train for a marathon. On the same note, if you're really not ready to start exercising, having a brand new elliptical trainer at home collecting a thick layer of dust isn't going to help motivate you either.

If you're really ready to get in shape and having exercise equipment at home is the best choice for your busy lifestyle, then just make sure you choose one that you're going to love. If you're not sure which machine would be best for your likes and dislikes, hit the gym a few times and try out the different equipment to help you decide. Or look into the possibility of finding an exercise rental store so you can "try before you buy." Exercise equipment is expensive, but it's definitely worth your time to find just the right one.
Take Action:
  • Boycott advertisers of Glenn Beck's radio show and his quest spots on Fox News. Glenn Beck is anti-gay rights. Update: Boycott Successful: Update 4/7/2011: Beck has been fired by FOX NEWS! Radio stations dropping Beck as well in several locations. Now, tell FOX to stop having Beck as a Guest.
  • 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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Update 4/8/2011: Target lost it's case to stop the LGBT from canvassing in front of their stores. A huge PR Disaster for TARGET! Perhaps Target should go out of business as they betrayed their investers and customer base. Target contributed massive funds to a politician who would like to exterminate gays. Now, Target can not stop us from Boycotting them, nor picketing, nor talking to customers near their stores; although, Target allows a anti-gay company such as the Salvation Army to stand outside their door and speak with customers and raise money. Isn't this a double standard?
  • 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.
  • Remember David Kato, Gay activist - Uganda, who was slain because he is gay!
  • "Tune Out Trump", Boycott all Trump Hotel, casinos, holdings, The Apprentice and NBC Network! At CPAC, Trump said 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 when Donald Trump has stated he may run for president? After making racist remarks about Obama and recv'g public backlash, Trump decided not to run for president after NBC renewed his awful TV Show. How can NBC re-new the clown's show after he pulled such hateful shenanigans? Boycott NBC! Boycott advertisers of The Apprentice and Trump's other business's. Don't shop at any bullding with Donald Trump's name to include Trump Hotels, Casinos, Condo's, Offices, Shops! The Donald has expressed extreme Hatred towards gays and blacks with his birther remarks and anti-gay rhetoric. Remember how poorly Trump treated Rosie O'Donnel? Now we know why he did that! It was hate against a lesbian as we now know he is biget. Unforgiveable! Again, Dump NBC because they air/re-newed Donald Trump's "The Apprentice"! Now the Donald Claims the Long Form Birth certificate is a fraud. And NBC keeps this guy?
And Now, Our War of the Fittest!

Gay Couple Spared Deportation
By Julie Bolcer - The Advocate - June 30, 2011

Federal officials have canceled the deportation of Henry Velandia, a Venezuelan married to American citizen Josh Vandiver, in a decision that could have extensive implications for immigration policy affecting same-sex couples.

The New York Times  reports on the deportation cancellation, which was announced Wednesday by Lavi Soloway, the lawyer for Velandia and Vandiver, who live in New Jersey and were married in Connecticut last year.

"The case has been closely watched across the country by lawyers and advocates who viewed it as a test of the federal government's position on the Defense of Marriage Act, a federal law that bars the federal government from recognizing same-sex marriages," reports the Times.

The Obama administration announced that it would no longer defend DOMA in the courts in February, but it said it would continue to enforce the law. Advocates had asked the administration to postpone deportations for same-sex married couples until the constitutionality of DOMA was settled.

An immigration judge in Newark suspended deportation for Velandia last month the same day a protest was held outside the federal building. The judge wanted to allow the government more time to consider the issue, and earlier this month Soloway received a call from an arm of the Homeland Security Department saying the agency agreed with his request to close the deportation proceedings, the Times reports.

While the decision could lead to the cancellation of other deportation proceedings against immigrants in same-sex marriages, it does not settle the question of federal recognition for same-sex marriages.
