    This is wonderful!

    To all the "faith based" busybodies who meddle in the lives of others, claiming a right to pass judgment and to force conformity to their hocus-pocus beliefs, STFU!

    Word, Tony...and Barack.

    That video is absolutely awesome! I sent it to everyone I know and blogged it! Thanks for sharing it...

    On another note:

    I noticed MSNBC keeps playing Senator Barbara Boxer bloodying Senator Lindsey Graham's nose, by calling him "AN ACTRESS!!!" over his over-the-top hysterical waving of the stimulus bill around! I think the Democratic Caucus needs to elevate Senator Boxer to majority leader. I mean, this isn't the first time she has come out punching. She should be our majority leader because she speaks for ALL OF US that are progressives living in blood red states, like Oklahoma and South Carolina, who have to deal with the likes of Senator Inhofe, Senator Coburn or Miss Graham. Besides, why should we have some moderate mormon, like Harry Reid, representing our entire caucus when we could have a great, but tough when she needs to be, lady like Senator Boxer who represents FAR MORE PEOPLE and MORE DEMOCRATS than Reid does in Nevada?!!?

    Its past time someone called Miss Lindsey Graham on his theatrical hysterics! I'm sick to death of that little homophobic self loathing fag voting against anything progressive because he is scared to death his Talibangelical state might think he is "a queer." I got news for ya, Lindsey, girlfriend. You are a queer! How about joining your brothers and sisters and getting us equal rights, instead of working against us, because your act is embarassingly transparent. He has gotten FAR too much mileage on demonizing everything with that one finger pointing outward while four fingers are pointing back.

    SENATOR BOXER FOR MAJORITY LEADER

    Let's get a REAL BOXER as our majority leader!!!!

    cowboy, that's a great idea, but I wonder how we can put pressure on the Senate to replace "do nothing but whine" Reid.
  • cowboyneok · 9 months ago
    Ugh... I don't know... I don't think we even can. Its up to them, but I had to rant about -- ya know?!!?

    Why do heterosexuals want special rights?
  • Indigo · 9 months ago
    Good question. I think I'll use it more.
  • An_American_Karol · 9 months ago
    That's lovely. I signed and sent it to all my friends.

    Great video!!

    OT, but I wish some rent boys would blab, too, and I don't think taxpayers want to shell out for whores for these guys, either, because you know there are other madams all over Manhattan.

    Via HuffPo (ABC 2/6/09)
    Wall street lawyers, investment bankers, CEOs and media executives often used corporate credit cards to pay for $2,000 an hour prostitutes, according to the madam who ran one of New York's biggest and most expensive escort services until it was busted last year.

    But prosecutors in the Manhattan District Attorney's office chose not to pursue any of the corporate titans, says Kristin Davis, who pleaded guilty last year to charges of running a prostitution business that used more than a hundred women...

    "Some of these guys, I was invoicing on corporate credit cards," she said. "I was writing up monthly bills for computer consulting, construction expenses, all of these things, I was invoicing them monthly so they could get it by their accountants," Davis said.

    Yea, only problem with rent boys blabbing is the Republicans are really good at shutting them up, and they know it. They talk about the inside of Lindsay Graham or Larry Craig's bedroom and they wind up with concrete shoes in Chesapeake Bay.
  • Blueflash · 9 months ago
    Wonder what Trent Lott's prostitute got paid to keep quiet - the one who went after Haggard's prostitute for blabbing and not maintaining "professional standards" and, ironically, outing Lott at the same time - at least to those without a smidgen of gaydar. . Lott being gay was, of course, the bomb shell that "would bring down the Republican party" that Larry Flint threatened to disclose in the wake of the Lewinsky scandal. Wonder what threats Flint received to keep him quiet.
  • cowboyneok · 9 months ago
    I doubt he got paid anything. He got threatened. They probably sicked some goons paid for by the American Family Association or Heritage Foundation on him. In fact, someone needs to check and make sure the poor guy is still alive. Republicans are real good at "getting back" at prostitutes especially "gay prostitutes" who threaten their whole special rights for self loathing gay men in loveless marriages agenda.

    Get this: Rush Limbaugh has a campaign to get all his dittoheads to call Republicans and demand they sink the stimulus bill. I tried to call my Senators to see if it was true. First time I tried, I couldn't even get through. The second time I tried, I got through and the Senators voice mail was full.

    My Senators are stupid enough to listen to all the dittoheads, but I hope the rest of the Senators realize what is going on is simply a media trick from an obese whale of an unrepentant hillbilly heroin addict (Rush Limbaugh)... They need to stop working for drug addled Limbaugh and start working for the American people. Every day we slip further into the danger zone, and Republicans want to play politics.

    Beautiful video. I don't know how anyone can look at the love in those couples' faces and still say they are a threat to anything... but that's just me.
  • nicho · 9 months ago
    I think I've watched this 10 times since yesterday -- makes me kind of misty-eyed every time.

    Uncovered:

    Photo of Bush JACKETLESS in Oval Office. So much for Republicans wetting themselves over Barack Obama having the nerve to ROLL UP HIS SLEEVES in the Oval Office:

    Republicans are such worthless sack's of shit.

    oh how i love that video.
    love always prevails
  • RitornaVincitor · 9 months ago
    Joe, thank you so much for posting this. As a result my husband and I have sent in our photo and made a donation. Our photo once appeared on a marriage equity float in the 1996 Gay Freedom Day parade in San Francisco. We had no idea how they got it, but we were delighted. Turned out that our photographer had sent it in. I've sent in the same photo to this wonderful project. Somehow we look better than in our marriage photo taken more than a decade later. ;0)

    Wonderful video! Thank you!

    Note to cowboyneok and Blueflash: Keep it up! Tell us more!
  • Blueflash · 9 months ago
    Google trent lott prostitute. I just happened to come upon it by chance not long ago but it was no big surprise if you recall the pictures of Lott prancing around Crawford in 2000 in painted on blue jeans and some sort of large bird plume in his cowboy hat. A day or two after Maureen Dowd in her NYT column made a few very discreet insinuations but otherwise everyone who's anyone pretended not to notice.
  • Blueflash · 9 months ago
    Anyway, I'm in danger of getting dehydrated if I watch this video again. Didn't mean to pollute things with discussion of self hating conservative hypocrites.
  • jixter · 9 months ago
    Don't worry; you didn't pollute anything, you merely reported something that we all can benefit from knowing about. Thanks! Good work!

    What a wonderful video with a powerful message. Ken Starr is already divorced. Divorced from reality. The Republican party is the party of hate. The party that wants to govern what you can and can not do with your body and in the privacy of your own bedroom. Ken Starr and Rush the junkie are vile pieces of human waste, and they are to equality and fairness what McDonalds is to fine dining. The courage campaign is doing great work, and they need to be supported. STAND BY YOUR MAN OR WOMAN and help them out. Great post John, we love you and your great website, which is in my top 5 must check several times each day!

    And why was this not a commercial for No on 8?

    Oh, that's right - Geoff & Lorrie Jean were too busy hobnobbing at Obama parties to take care of the issue that was funding their livelihoods.

    (insert false penitence and sense of shock from professional "figureheads" here)

    good to see nearly identical reactions to this video here and at Pam's House Blend,...... tears seem to be the reaction, and I reacted the same when Love Will Prevail hits the screen.
    I hope thy can get this made for TV and play it PLENTY!
