  • Moscow Gay Pride to go on despite ban
    27 May 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    Russian gay activists vowed yesterday to hold a demonstration in Moscow despite a ban, a year after a similar attempt led to arrests by police, attacks by right-wing nationalists and verbal abuse by pensioners.
    The Sunday demonstration is to mark the 14th anniversary of Russia’s decriminalisation of homosexuality. But despite that move, intolerance of homosexuality remains high in Russia; it is denounced by the dominant Russian Orthodox Church and President Vladimir Putin in his annual (…)

    Those Ugly Words
    By Peter Fredson
    April 25, 2007
    Russell Simmons of the Hip-Hop Action network last Monday stated that "We recommend that the recording and broadcast industries voluntarily remove/bleep/delete the misogynistic words ’bitch’ and ’ho’ and the racially offensive word ’n***er.’," because they are derogatory and disrespect people’s suffering, pain, and racial oppression for several hundred years.
    This came about as a response to the firing of Don Imus radio and television (…)

  • The Racist War on Immigrants

    Emma Lazarus’ memorable words on Lady Liberty’s pedestal once had meaning as a new nation grew. No longer in a country hostile to the tired, the poor, the huddled masses, the wretched refuse, the homeless and many others not making the grade in a white supremacist Judeo-Christian state worshiping wealth and privilege. No welcome sign is out for the unwanted poor and desperate. At best, they’re ignored to subsist on their own. At worst, they’re scorned and abused, (…)

  • Gay Equality Needs to Get Out of the Religious Civil Wars!
    24 March 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    We’ve been warned! Gay Equality Needs to Get Out of the Religious Civil Wars! We’ve been warned! Religious fundies are going to now use the tactic of lobbying all 50 state legislatures to demand that Congress pass an anti-gay constitutional amendment outlawing same-gender marriage. ( http://okstonewall.org/forums/index.php?topic=1663.0 ) Ever notice that the history of homophobia has nearly always been rooted in religious dogma? With the halting progress that gay equality has (…)

    The file is labeled Injustice in America. I began it over two decades ago, and it has grown thicker with the passage of time. Within its folds are stories of the numerous wrongful convictions that occur far too frequently in a nation proclaiming to have the best legal system in the world.
    At first glance, the faces of the wrongfully convicted appear to be as unique as the individuals themselves. Yet they are starkly similar. They are almost always poor, usually (…)

    Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor and Republican presidential candidate, is the king of crass, the maven of craven and the show pony of phony. He switches positions quicker than a porn star and is more slippery than an okra plate dipped in country butter. I never thought the religious right would be gullible enough to buy Romney’s eleventh hour conversion, but apparently he can buy theirs. According to an article in Sunday’s New York Times, the ultra-wealthy (…)

    For years Americans sat back while gay organizations moved in to fill the vaccum of inaction. Very few people cared as long as gay’s only wanted to live their own choices as long as it was kept that way. Now these angry vicious groups are pushing their agenda onto everyone. Forcing states to give them special rights against voters will. Forcing companies to accept and give special treatment to gays. Changing your childrens views by making school books about homosexuals against parents (…)

    Who Killed Hrant Dink and Why? Garbis Altinoglu, 25-26 January 2007
    The assassination of Armenian democrat writer Hrant Dink on January 19th by the Kontrgerilla (Turkish version of Gladio) attached to the Turkish General Staff, brought forth a just reaction of all progressive segments of Turkey and led to their protest actions against the Turkish state. In view of the fact that Dink was a member of the Armenian community which has been subjected to a genocide, (…)
