Just want to add some visual inspiration/motivation    via frankensteinweekend.tumblr.comUg. "Last night, Tennessee's Governor, Bill Haslam, signed into law the bill repealing the civil rights of gay and trans people in Nashville. With your help, we put up a real fight trying to pressure the Governor to do the right thing and veto this hateful bill. In a few short days, over 10,000 signed our open letter to the largest corporations making up the Tennessee Chamber of Commerce, a big supporter of the legislation -- and they noticed. Twelve of those companies were forced to release statements distancing themselves from the bill (Caterpillar refused). Alcoa even went farther and asked the Governor to veto it. And minutes before the Governor signed the law -- too late to make any difference -- the Chamber of Commerce reversed its position and issued a statement opposing the bill." -AMERICAblog.com |

Which companies helped us and which screwed us re: the TN hate law Posted by John Aravosis (DC) at 5/23/2011 09:08:00 PM Nissan, FedEx, AT&T, Comcast, DuPont, Pfizer, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Caterpillar, KPMG, Whirlpool, Embraer, Alcoa, and United HealthCare all, through their local reps in Tennessee, helped repeal the Nashville civil rights ordinance. Once they were informed that we caught them red-handed, last Thursday, here's how the companies responded - from helpful to totally useless.

For people in Portland Oregon: Last week, two men walking across the Hawthorne Bridge holding hands (in the evening, in daylight, in a safe public place with other people watching), were beaten up by strangers. Today at 7:30 pm LGBT organizations and allies of all sexual orientations will be holding hands to make a chain across the Hawthorne Bridge to show support and solidarity: ________________________________ More info about the hand-holding protest: bit.ly/mAHd5b - Portland Mercury blogout.justout.com/?p=33613The statement says, everyone is welcome to join in and holding hands isn't optional  _______________________________ More info about the attack: bit.ly/jT6yGQ - Portland Mercury |

Not sure if this is relevant here or elsewhere....but this is my best guess. The discussion for today is on whether or not contestants with overt sex-appeal are at a disadvantage on AI because of the voting demographic....brief mention of Adam as possible exception....interesting stuff. mediacommons.futureofthebook.org/imr/2011/05/31/too-hawt-win |

It had occurred to me that blandness/safeness/maleness seem to be requirements to win AI lately, but I had never thought of it explicitly in terms of sexual females being doomed. It really rings true to me and is kind of a revelation; the article is very persuasive and well-written. It also helps explain the Haley hatred which up until now has mystified me. Learned something new too - I didn't understand the "trololo" reference so I looked it up and now I know about the trololo guy LOL. |
