Via AmericaBLog Gay: Homophobia Inc. and America’s newest export: Hate


In Part 1 of this series, we established motive: The desire for far-right social conservative groups here in America to export their anti-gay agenda throughout the world, and how the World Congress of Families (WCF) has been coordinating these efforts.

In Part 2, we explored the means: Funding and support provided by these right wing extremist groups so that Regnerus (and Marks) could manufacture deeply flawed results and false conclusions — then whitewash these papers through a badly compromised scientific journal publication system.

In Part 3, we’ll look at opportunity. Now they have a number of well-funded far right anti-gay organizations in the United States working in a coordinated fashion and a purportedly “legitimate” scientific study or two in hand. We”ll see how they have put these into action, to take the homophobia and lies they haven’t been able to peddle very successfully here in America lately and instead export them abroad.

Via JMG: OREGON: Federal Marriage Suit Filed


Freedom To Marry can add a 20th state to its map of marriage lawsuits. Yesterday a federal suit was filed in Oregon.
The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Eugene by Portland attorneys Lake Perriguey and Lea Ann Easton on behalf of two gay couples, seeks to have 2004's Measure 36 ruled unconstitutional. It names Gov. John Kitzhaber and Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum, as well as a few other officials, as defendants. It argues that one couple—Deanna Geiger and Janine Nelson—should be able to legally marry. The other plaintiffs, Robert Deuhmig and William Griesar, were legally married in Vancouver, B.C., and wish to have their rights recognized in Oregon. The suit is separate from the anticipated $12 million campaign to overturn Measure 36 being orchestrated by Oregon United for Marriage. Volunteers are collecting signatures to put an initiative on the ballot next year.
Are you losing track of all the states in play? I sure am! It's a good thing. (Tipped by JMG reader Marc)

The Intimate Path

It is essential at the beginning of practice to acknowledge that the path is personal and intimate. It is no good to examine it from a distance as if it were someone else’s. You must walk it for yourself. In this spirit, you invest yourself in your practice, confident of your heritage, and train earnestly side by side with your sisters and brothers. It is this engagement that brings peace and realization.
