Health, Wellness, Exercise, Reflections:North Carolina Psychological Association Comes Out Against Marriage Ban
Written by Jeff Katz / 26 December 2011 / Instinct
The North Carolina Psychological Association (NCPA) has come out against a proposed constitutional state amendment that would bar all legal recognition of gay and lesbian couples, including marriage, civil unions and possibly domestic partnerships.
In a five-page letter posted on the group's website over the weekend, the NCPA strongly came out against the proposed amendment. Among the many points made, the group notes that the gay community, and the rights and protections afforded to them, pose no threat to the general population.
Empirical research demonstrates that the psychological and social aspects of committed relationships between same-sex partners closely resemble those of heterosexual partnerships, and an emerging research literature suggests that legally recognized same-sex relationships may also be similar to heterosexual marriages in these psychological and social aspects," the group's position states. "Thus, the only reason for according same-sex relationships a different legal status than heterosexual relationships is ultimately the fact that the relationship is homosexual rather than heterosexual. This differentiation based on sexual orientation is an expression of prejudice and leads to stigma."
Do you think the NCPA's disapproval of the proposed amendment will have influence with the final vote?
Take Action:
- 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! Further, Boycott Fox's Owner "Rupert Murcoch" and get him thrown in jail for illegal - Take Action:
political donations, corruption, greed, bribery, hacking! - 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 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 a LGBT friendly 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 money to anti-gay 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 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.
- "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 Georgia for Execution of Troy Davis @ 11:08 EST, Sep 21, 2011:
Former US President and Former GA Gov. Jimmy Carter felt that TROY DAVIS should not be executed and deserved a re-trial. The Former Director of the FBI felt that TROY DAVIS Was Not Guilty! Do not drive through Goergia as it is dangerous. Do not fly via Atlanta. For your safety -Do not travel to GA. TELL YOUR COMPANY NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CONVENTION IN GA! "Georgia Executes Innocent People!"

Top 10 Gay Reasons to Vote GOP in 2012
by Jim Lopata / December 31, 2011 / Boston Spirit
Top 10 Gay Reasons to Vote GOP in 2012
Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich told a gay Iowan recently that if LGBT issues were most important for him, then he should vote for Obama.
The GOP record on gay rights is pretty dismal compared to Democrats, but even so, in the 2010 elections, 31 percent of gay voters said they voted Republican. Surely these must not be single-issue gay voters.
But what if there were actual gay reasons for voting Republican? I stretched my powers of imagination and came up with a list of The Top Ten Gay Reasons to Vote GOP in the 2012 presidential elections.
If anyone can come up with additional reasons, I'd love to hear about them in the comments.
10 - Obama's gay marriage views are not "evolving" quickly enough.
When it comes to LGBT issues, President Obama isn't perfect. He famously has not declared full support for marriage equality. Gay Republican political organizations like GOProud and Log Cabin Republicans argue that because Republicans are not perceived as being strong on LGBT concerns, they have more of an impact on the issues when they do. Honestly, it doesn't sound terribly persuasive, but then again, this is only reason number 10.9 - Abraham Lincoln was gay.
The possibility that Lincoln, the first Republican U.S. president, was a homosexual has persisted for decades. With a GOP legacy of such support for civil rights, perhaps a 21st century Republican president could follow in Lincoln's footsteps with a gay emancipation proclamation -- freeing lesbian and gay people to love and marry whomever they choose. I have a dream.
8 - Nixon was gay.
A new book about tricky Dick alleges he was involved in a gay love affair. So what makes that a good gay reason to vote GOP in 2012? Well, not really sure, but we thought it was interesting anyway.
7 - Former GOP chairperson Ken Mehlman is gay.
After the high profile same-sex sex scandals of Republican House Member from Florida Mark Foley and Senator Larry Craig of Idaho, it was refreshing to see a high profile GOP operative come out cleanly. Gay Democratic lawmakers don't have much of a problem being out. With more Republicans in office, there is more of a chance there will be more GOP lawmakers coming out. This reasoning really makes no sense, but we're only at number 7.
6 - Google "Santorum."
Openly gay columnist Dan Savage successfully Google-bombed the former senator and presidential candidate, coining an unseemly new definition for Rick's last name, Santorum, as, "The frothy mix of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex." Think of all the slick and dirty jokes Jon Stewart could make for years with Santorum as commander-in-chief. The White House wouldn't appear quite so white. Eww.
5 - GOP Presidential Candidate Fred Karger is gay.
That's right, an openly gay Republican presidential candidate! Unfortunately, with his low poll ratings, you probably haven't heard much about Karger. He hasn't qualified for the debates, but he is the first out Republican presidential candidate. He hasn't got a prayer. But his support of same-sex marriage does qualify him as the one Republican more evolved on the issue than Obama.
4 - Michele Bachmann's husband might be gay.
This is quite a stretch, but at least some people's gaydar is going off when it comes to the lisping Dr. Marcus Bachmann. This may seem particularly odd since the unlicensed therapist offers "reparative therapy," which allegedly helps homosexuals move toward a heterosexual orientation. But that may prove even more credible evidence of his homosexuality given that many prominent ex-gay advocates have had to concede defeat after same-sex sex scandals, including former board chairman of ex-gay group Exodus John Paulk and disgraced evangelical minister Rev. Ted Haggard. Michele could just unwittingly give the U.S. its first gay First Gentleman. And, who knows -- while we are stretching the bounds of imagination -- what if Marcus then revealed that Michele is more than his beard? Perhaps Michele could be our first lesbian president. Big stretch.
3 - Rick Perry could be gay.
The rabidly anti-gay Rick Perry might be gay? Well, the idea is making the rounds. An openly gay Texas politician -- partisan Democrat -- gathered all the evidence into a book, which includes speculation that Perry slept with his Secretary of State Geoff Connor. Connor, when questioned about it, did not confirm or deny it, saying, "I suggest you ask Rick Perry." Okay, so no major media outlet is touching this rumor, but, that just means that Perry could be the ultimate stealth gay rights candidate, right? And I mean far right.
2 - Newt Gingrich's half-sister is a lesbian.
Sure, former Vice President Dick Cheney had a lesbian daughter, Mary Cheney, but she supported the Bush presidency and stayed mostly behind-the-scenes. Candace Gingrich, on the other hand, is an outspoken LGBT rights advocate and has promised to vote for Obama, even if her brother is the GOP nominee. Candace would surely be a welcome thorn in the side of a Newt White House.
1 - Romney could flip again.
It's been chronicled how Romney claimed strong support for gay civil rights in his 1994 U.S. senate campaign against Ted Kennedy. And it's a matter of record how virulently he fought against legal marriage for same-sex couples as governor of Massachusetts from 2003 to 2007. Who knows? He could flip again.
Well, we've come to the end of the top 10 gay reasons to vote Republican in 2012, and, well, none of them seem persuasive at all. In fact, I can't find any compelling gay reason to vote Republican in 2102. Can you?
