Sharron’s Angle: No Gay Rights

Sharron Angle of Nevada would be detrimental to gay people across the country if she wins the November election against Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, gay and lesbian political leaders said in several different ways during a conference call on Thursday. Callers stressed Angle's voting record as a member of the Independent American Party, which took out ads in 1994 warning that HIV/AIDS could be spread through “contaminated water” and another 16-page advertising insert that promoted constitutionally legalizing discrimination against gay people. The ad ran in several Nevada newspapers. added by: TimALoftis

Prop 8 Has been overturned today

CONCLUSION Proposition 8 fails to advance any rational basis in singling out gay men and lesbians for denial of a marriage license. Indeed, the evidence shows Proposition 8 does nothing more than enshrine in the California Constitution the notion that opposite-sex couples are superior to same-sex couples. Because California has no interest in discriminating against gay men and lesbians, and because Proposition 8 prevents California from fulfilling its constitutional obligation to provide marriages on an equal basis,the court concludes that Proposition 8 is unconstitutional. added by: aharvath

Anita Bryant Is Back, Hosting Antigay Rally

Former orange juice spokeswoman Anita Bryant has largely dropped out of sight since campaigning against gay rights in the 1970s, but the singer-antigay activist returns to the stage in Okahoma City Friday night for the Reclaiming America for Christ rally. Bryant will share the stage with the husband of antigay state representative Sally Kern. The event, which is typically held in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., is banking on Bryant’s name to draw crowds. added by: TimALoftis
