News Flash: It's Really Freakin' Hot Out
 
by Markham Heid - July 23, 2011 - Men's Health

Diabetics beware: Unless you live in Seattle, your bodies will struggle extra-hard to cope with the recent heat wave, warns a study from researchers at Loma Linda University.
 
The California researchers exposed a small group of diabetes sufferers--along with a control group--to 108-degree temperatures (presumably at gunpoint). After just 30 minutes, the average core temperature of those with diabetes rose 1.8 degrees, an increase 5 times greater than the control group's.
 
That small difference could mean headaches, weakness, and dehydration. Surface skin temperatures also increased more among diabetes sufferers.
 
Researchers say sweating (or a lack thereof) is the problem. Among people with diabetes, sweat production was reduced at all skin locations tested when compared to the non-diabetic individuals.

Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes damage the body's microcirculation system and those nerve fibers that trigger your sweat glands, the study explains. As a result of that sweat gland malfunction, a diabetic's body--like a house with a shoddy AC unit--can't produce enough sweat to cool itself off. So while you may look like a cool customer, your insides are smokin'.
 
But there are ways to chill off even on the hottest summer days. Drink a pint of ice-cold water every hour to cool your core temperature, ditch your cotton clothing for something with better sun protection. Ice cream and popsicles also lower your core temp and help you stay hydrated.
Take Action:
  • Update: DADT has been repealed.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! In conclusion, O'Reilly expressed out-right Hatrad of the LGBT Community.
  • 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 its 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 customers. 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? Perhaps TARGET would better understand the issue if they cared about David Kato - Uganda, who was slain because he is gay! That is because Uganda wants to kill gay people. Again, TARGET invested in a political candidate that would Kill the Gays!
  • 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: "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 renew the clown's show after he pulled all such low-class 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! Dump NBC because they re-newed Donald Trump's "The Apprentice"! NBC, Really? Update June 1, 2011: Trump now claims that Obama's long form, original birth certificate is fake. And NBC keeps this hater? NBC, You Kidding Us?

Across New York, a Weekend of Parties and Wedding Bells
By THOMAS KAPLAN - Jul 23, 2011 - New York Times
 
Hundreds of gay and lesbian couples across New York State plan to marry on Sunday, the culmination of a long battle in the Legislature and a new milestone for gay rights advocates seeking to legalize same-sex marriage around the nation.

The first marriages were scheduled to take place just after midnight in Niagara Falls, where officials planned to illuminate the famous cascade in the colors of a rainbow, and in Albany, where an eager mayor planned to marry eight gay couples.

In New York City, 823 couples signed up in advance to get marriage licenses on Sunday, and many of those couples were expected to marry minutes later in city clerk's offices across the five boroughs. Officials from more than a dozen cities and towns from Buffalo to Brookhaven said they would open their offices to issue marriage licenses on Sunday, and more than 100 judges across the state have volunteered to officiate at the couples' weddings on the spot.

"This is long overdue," said Mayor Matthew T. Ryan of Binghamton, who planned to preside at the wedding of at least two local couples, and who invited same-sex couples from Pennsylvania, and from New York City, to come to his city to be married. "It really is a great day for all of us who believe in inclusiveness and equal rights for everybody."

The weddings -- businesslike ceremonies in fluorescent-lit city offices for some, lavish catered affairs for others -- represent the end of a political campaign that lasted for years. On June 24, the State Senate voted 33 to 29 to approve same-sex marriage, and Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo signed it into law that night, but the law did not take effect for 30 days, which is why Sunday is the first day that clerk's offices were permitted to issue marriage licenses to gay couples.

"As the hours tick by, we're getting more and more excited," Brian Banks, a 33-year-old middle-school special-education teacher from Albany, said on Friday after going to City Hall there to fill out paperwork. Mr. Banks planned to marry his partner of seven years, Jon Zehnder, 37, a high school math teacher, at the midnight ceremony in Albany on Sunday. "Even though we've always viewed ourselves as married, to have there be no asterisk next to it, it'll just feel really good," he said.

Not everyone will be celebrating. Town clerks in at least two rural communities have resigned in recent days, saying their religious convictions precluded them from marrying gay couples, and some cities will see public demonstrations on Sunday. The National Organization for Marriage is planning protests on Sunday afternoon at the State Capitol; outside Mr. Cuomo's office in Midtown Manhattan; and in the two largest cities upstate, Buffalo and Rochester.

But a sampling of pastors in the New York City area found that most did not intend to discuss same-sex marriage in their Sunday sermons. At St. Patrick's Cathedral, the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York, for example, the homilist planned to speak on other subjects. "There may not be much more to say at this point," Joseph Zwilling, a spokesman for the archdiocese, said.

New York is the sixth, and largest, state with legalized same-sex marriage. Several other states are considering following suit, and on Sunday, some gay-rights activists plan to gather in Hoboken to call on New Jersey lawmakers to follow New York's lead and allow gay couples to wed. But most states have either laws or constitutional amendments barring same-sex marriage, and federal law bars the United States government from recognizing same-sex marriages.

"It's a huge step forward, and yet it doesn't erase the fact that there's so many roadblocks facing advocates of marriage equality," said George Chauncey, a historian at Yale and the author of "Gay New York: Gender, Urban Culture, and the Making of the Gay Male World, 1890-1940."

"Most of the time, an awful lot of the nation doesn't want to be like New York at all," Mr. Chauncey said. "I suspect that many people will take this as one more sign of what happens in the Northeast, and in New York in particular, that they don't want to have happen in their own communities."

Larry Kramer, the playwright and longtime gay rights activist, said that for as long as the federal government continues not to recognize same-sex marriages, the celebration in New York on Sunday would be misguided.

"These marriages, in whichever state, are what I call feel-good marriages," Mr. Kramer said. "Compared to the benefits heterosexual marriages convey, gay marriages are an embarrassment -- that we should accept so little, and with so much hoopla of excitement and self-congratulation."

But many activists, both opposed to and in support of same-sex marriage, saw legalization in New York as a significant development, in part because of the size and visibility of the state, and in part because of its symbolism -- the modern gay rights movement traces its symbolic emergence to the Stonewall riot in New York City in 1969.

"When you think that a decade ago the number was zero, it just shows what a powerful step forward this represents," said Evan Wolfson, the founder and president of Freedom to Marry, a gay rights group. "It gives us tremendous momentum for continuing the journey the country has been on toward fairness."

Whatever the historical implications -- and however the push to legalize same-sex marriage fares in the other states where advocates plan to shift their focus -- there will be no shortage of celebration, and protest, on Sunday and in the days to follow.

Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg plans to officiate at the wedding of two senior City Hall officials at a ceremony at Gracie Mansion, while Mr. Cuomo is hosting a party for gay rights advocates and lawmakers in New York City.

In Brooklyn, the borough president, Marty Markowitz, plans to open Borough Hall for a marathon series of weddings, complete with free cake and Champagne.

Outside the city clerk's office in Lower Manhattan, rabbis from a synagogue in the West Village plan to solemnize weddings under a rainbow-colored huppah, or Jewish wedding canopy. And two gay puppets, Rod and Ricky, from the Tony Award-winning play "Avenue Q," plan to stage a mock wedding as well.

And there are a variety of same-sex wedding celebrations, some with commercial or promotional overtones, planned over the next days and months.

On Monday night, three gay couples will wed on stage at the St. James Theater after the evening's performance of the Broadway musical "Hair." On Saturday, two dozen couples will marry inside two pop-up chapels that are to be installed in Central Park. And the Fire Island Pines resort is now peddling three same-sex wedding packages, one of which features a private ferry ride "complete with your own crew of drag queens."
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."
