Night Eating Risky for Diabetics

People with diabetes who engage in late-night gorging may be putting themselves at risk for serious health complications. University of Washington researchers found that diabetics may be especially prone to "night-eating syndrome," in which a person compulsively snacks before bedtime and sometimes even wakes up several times to continue gorging.

Published in the journal Diabetes Care, the study estimated that diabetic night-eaters are 2-3 times more likely than other night-eaters to be obese. In addition, diabetics with night-eating syndrome experience a higher risk of complications such as heart disease, kidney dysfunction and nerve damage.
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  • Update: DADT has been repealed.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 over 1 mIllion dollars to anti-gay marriage groups + serious history of employment discrimination of LGBT community.
  • 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?

How should gay troops behave after 'don't ask, don't tell' ends?
By Ed O'Keefe - Sep 12, 2011 - Washington Post

Once the military ends its "don't ask, don't tell" policy on Sept. 20, can troops announce that they're gay? Yes. Can they attend parties celebrating the end of the ban? Yes. Can they help raise money for a gay rights group? Not if it's on a military base.

With the Defense Department preparing to end its 18-year ban on gays in uniform next Tuesday, gay rights groups are reminding the rank and file about the Pentagon's policy on political activity as several U.S. military facilities are expected to host parties marking the ban's end.

"We expect that most of the DADT repeal celebrations will be just that -- celebrations of the repeal of a bad law. No special rules apply to attendance at or participation in such events," according to the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network, a legal group representing troops affected by the ban.

According to military policy, troops should be allowed to attend the events, wear their uniforms and "speak as individuals about the importance of repeal to them personally and to the services generally," SLDN said in a memo to troops published Monday. "They may say that they are happy and proud that they now do not have to hide their sexual orientation," the memo said, but "they should not, of course, criticize their commanders (or past commanders) or elected officials or urge the election or defeat of candidates for office."

Troops may also attend nonpartisan political events -- such as parties hosted by gay rights groups -- but may not wear their uniforms or do anything to suggest official sponsorship or endorsement, SLDN said.

Troops not in uniform are permitted to attend partisan political events as spectators but may not actively participate. Fundraising for a gay rights group at a military facility is prohibited.

The Pentagon did not immediately return requests for comment on the SLDN's guidance.

Military officials haven't publicly released any plans to mark the end of the ban next week. President Obama, who signed a bill ending "don't ask, don't tell" last December, is not expected to attend any events marking the end of the ban, according to administration officials and gay rights activists, because he will be in New York for meetings with the U.N. General Assembly.

North Carolina Republicans Launch Sneak Attack on Gays
9/12/11 - Huffington Post - Michael Carmichael

In a replay of the Republican stealth attack on the labor movement in Wisconsin, the GOP has launched a sneak attack on the LGBT community of gays, lesbians, transgendered and bisexual citizens in North Carolina -- the nation's most embattled battleground state.

According to news reports stemming from WRAL-TV in Raleigh, the Republican covert operation to attack gay rights has been blown wide open.

According to reports broadcast by Laura Leslie of WRAL, here is the scenario:
•The North Carolina General Assembly will be the field of battle;

•The Republican Senate Caucus has launched a nefarious plan;

•Under the guise of a debate on term limits, the Republicans will strip out the language of the bill and substitute a ban on gay marriage;

 •The same covert plan is operative in the NC House of Representatives and will run concurrently.
The Republicans' covert plan was leaked to WRAL by an anonymous whistleblower, who explained the extremist rationale behind the covert legislative strategy:
"We need to reach out to them and get them (gays) to change their lifestyle back to the one we accept."
The deliberate and stealthy Republican moves began to unfold on Friday. Senate staff attorney, Susan Sitze sent the new amendment against gay marriage to members of the Senate Judiciary I Committee. Approximately 40 minutes later, the Senate Calendar was posted for the public proclaiming that the topic under discussion on Monday by Senate Judiciary I Committee would be: "Speaker/Pro Tem Term Limits."

When word began to seep out that something intriguing was afoot, the office of Senate leader Phil Berger responded. Berger's Chief of Staff, Jim Blaine, defended the public posting of one bill, when the members will actually be discussing another: "Under Senate rules, we don't have to notice meetings until midnight the day of the meeting, and at the same time send out a PCS (Proposed Committee Substitute)."
 
When Laura Leslie challenged Blaine about switching the topic of the meeting from term limits to marriage rights, Blaine responded with the obtuse comment,
"Well, that's the name of the bill. We are in no way, shape or form trying to hide this. If we wanted to sneak this through, we'd put it out Monday at noon. If you notice the members of the committee on Friday, it's public domain."
After the news media sniffed the odor of a sneak attack on gay rights, the Republicans began to buckle. On Saturday afternoon, the Senate staff corrected the public notice of the meeting in a thinly disguised ploy to coverup the now open secret that their cover had been blown by the astute reporter for WRAL, Laura Leslie.

The legal implications of the Republican sneak attack on gays would have been in violation of North Carolina's Open Meetings Law that mandates adequate public notice of meetings and debates over proposed legislation.

Rumors now coursing through Raleigh's political establishment suggest that the Republican National Committee ordered the clumsy sneak attack. Some are zeroing in on the Chairman of the RNC, Reince Preibus, who hails from Wisconsin, a state now riven by extremist carnage and Ground Zero in the stealthy Republican assault on organized labor. Because of Republican moves to advance their anti-gay marriage amendment, North Carolina is now Ground Zero in their national campaign against gays.

One senior political observer based in Raleigh said, "This sneaky ploy has Reince Preibus's fingerprints all over it."

While attending a meeting of the Democratic National Committee in Chicago, the Chairman of the North Carolina Democratic Party, David Parker was swift to respond. Parker issued a hard-hitting statement comparing this political ploy to recent Republican attempts to resegregate schools in North Carolina and to limit voting rights by requiring Photo IDs at polling places.
Regardless of how you feel about the North Carolina law that already makes gay marriage illegal, it is simply un-American to single out any group of law-abiding citizens to harass and torment. Every time we select a set of folks to exclude from America's dream of a better life, we lose. The Founding Fathers did not let women vote. They counted African Americans as three fifths of a person. They required voters to own land. Most were fine with education being private. But times have changed. Strong women of both political parties serve us all in the US Senate, the Governor's office, the General Assembly and in countless local offices. But the Republicans in the General Assembly want to reduce the impact of strong women. The Republicans in the General Assembly and Pat McCrory want to confuse folks with legalese on this issue. And for what reason? North Carolinians know the ban on gay marriage will not create any jobs or make their lives any better. We are tired of distractions. The Republicans in the legislature and Pat McCrory have done nothing to help the middle class in North Carolina. They're just trying to tap dance their way through the year, distract us with their footwork, and avoid fixing our economy. Enough is enough. Grow up, Pat, and take some responsibility. If you really want to be Governor, you're going to have focus on things other than who can vote and who can get married.
A long-serving member of the North Carolina Democratic State Executive Committee, Vinod Thomas of Cornelius reacted, "What makes it so insidious is they are not debating in the open by disguising the meeting as term limits instead of gay marriage."

Thomas sees the Republican Party flip-flopping for purely political purposes.
"When I spoke Thom Tillis, the Speaker of the House, I asked why he flip-flopped on issues that he supported when Republicans were in the minority. For example, Tillis supported non-partisan redistricting when he was in the minority, but now that he is in the majority, he opposes it. Tillis's claim was that states faced with high unemployment and a large budget shortfall need to concentrate on those issues and simply do not have time to discuss the matters that they previously championed. I find this explanation to be disingenuous because discussing same-sex marriage will do nothing to create any jobs or alleviate the budget shortfall. I feel confident in saying that the vast majority of North Carolinians place a higher emphasis on helping our economy and aiding our public schools rather than bashing our friends and neighbors in the LGBT community."
In North Carolina, the LGBT community was swift to respond. Equality NC set up an informative page on its website calling for immediate action. Telephone calls to legislators are now hammering Republicans for this attempt to abuse the open meetings law in order to launch a new wave of repression against gays.

One of the founders of Facebook, Chris Hughes, hails from North Carolina. Hughes set up a Facebook page backing Equality NC and pledged to contribute $10,000 to support the LGBT rights organization. In an open letter to the North Carolina General Assembly, Hughes argues that anti-gay legislation is very bad for the business climate while it deprives gay families of respect and equality and subjects them to "derogatory and harmful anti-gay rhetoric."

The Republican anti-gay amendment is designed to ostracize and suppress the entire LGBT community by stigmatizing homosexuality. The intention of the legislation is to deny LGBT couples the most fundamental legal protections by emphasizing that they are only second-class citizens undeserving of respect and equal treatment under the law. This legal stigma fans the flames of the pandemic of suicide sweeping through the youngest generation of the LGBT community. Actually, it's perfectly despicable.
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."
