They Do Exist

dailymail.co.uk reports on a story about faires!

Fairies who frolic at the bottom of gardens in New Addington, near Croydon in South London. Mrs Bacon, 55, said she was not even looking through the camera at the time she took the picture. Instead she simply clicked the button while holding it at arm's length out of the back door while chatting with relatives in her kitchen after dinner. Astonished by what she saw when she glimpsed at the picture, she has spent months seeking a rational explanation. But after scouring the internet for pictures of butterflies, moths and beetles that might match it, she has drawn a blank. 'I think it must be a fairy,' she said yesterday as she made the picture public for the first time.

'I used to like fairy stories as a child, but I can't claim to have ever seen one before or since,' she said.

CLAP YOUR HANDS IF YOU BELIEVE!!

Let Your Voices Be Heard

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has the chance to veto the Harvey Milk Day Bill as he did last year because of the pressure and outrage of the oppositing religious extremists. Harvey Milk Day would be May 22 dedicated to honor the slain gay rights hero. It would not make schools close for the holiday or celebrate the day in any way.

Voice you opinion to the governor! He needs to hear input from people who understand the significance of teaching about the legacy of Harvey Milk.

Illegal... a Racist Word

Listen closely the the wording used...



Now listen to this which is ever worst...



Now for the reasoning behind this post...



Is it too much to ask that people not labels humans as "illegal" and especially not "aliens!" Let's stop the spread of racism and hate for other people.

Oh geez Kathleen...

Deadline approaching for Candidate Training

GLLI Candidate & Campaign Training

Think of it as a boot camp for potential LGBT candidates. The deadline is nearing for LGBT hopefuls to sign up for the Gay & Lesbian Leadership Institute’s Candidate and Campaign Training in Denver, CO. This coming Tuesday, August 25, is the last day to apply for the training program running September 24-27.

The GLLI’s training program assists LGBT hopefuls in learning the ins and outs of running a campaign as an out candidate. Attendees will learn about raising enough money to compete, how to formulate a political message that allows candidates to run as more than just an LGBT candidate, and how to produce a winning campaign. Candidates will even participate in an intense campaign simulation over the four days in Denver.

By taking the training program to Colorado, the GLLI will be paying a visit to the state that gave us one of our most significant victories in 2008: the first gay man elected as a non-incumbent to the US House of Representatives, Jared Polis. Back in 2006, Polis prepared for his historic run by participating in the GLLI’s Candidate & Campaign Training. Three years later, Polis is crafting legislation in the House and the program that helped put him there is coming to Denver.

Additional training alumni include the first Latina lesbian sheriff elected in the United States, Dallas’s Lupe Valdez, and the first lesbian elected to the North Carolina state Senate, Senator Julia Boseman. These remarkable candidates, and many more, started their campaign journey by participating in this renowned training.

The deadline to start your path to public service is Tuesday, so apply now!

Girls, pull that wig down from the shelf...

From the mouth of Ms. Angelou

“I would ask every man and every woman who’s had the blessing of having children, ‘Would you deny your son or your daughter the ecstasy of finding someone to love?' To love someone takes a lot of courage. So how much more is one challenged when the love is of the same sex and the laws say, ‘I forbid you from loving this person’?” - Maya Angelou, phoning New York state Sen. Shirley L. Huntley (D-Queens) and asking that she support marriage equality.
