· Writing » Topic » lgbtView article as originally published The announcement that gays, their families, and their friends had all been dreading came on Monday, April 12. A frantic signature-gathering campaign had officially failed, and Prop 8, the ban on equal marriage for same-sex couples, had just received a new lease on life. Back in late 2008, every progressive in California -- and beyond -- was riled up and ready to fight. Celebrations over Obama's presidential victory were dampened... [Read more...]

· Writing » Topic » lgbtView article as originally published Their name's mispeld, The Awl called them "retrograde," their dancing-gays video missed the mark, and nobody's seen their actual product yet. And judging from the results of a sneaky trick that we pulled during its beta launch, Fabulis.com is going to be a hit. Fabulis made a name for itself a month ago, when Citibank inadvertently did them the favor of shutting down their business account in a move... [Read more...]

· Writing » Topic » lgbtView article as originally published Anyone who thinks that we learned from our mistakes with Prop 8 needs to take a look at this TV ad that just started airing in Maine.

And we're starting... [Read more...]

· Writing » Topic » lgbtView article as originally published It seems like every day, there's a new online database of people who are publicly opposed to gays -- but each time it happens, the list is shorter and shorter. The latest one is in Arkansas, and it lists the folks who signed a petition to keep foster kids in orphanages rather than placing them with gay parents. (The petition was eventually voted into law, and is now being... [Read more...]

· Writing » Topic » lgbtView article as originally published So what's the deal with the next round of Prop 8 protests? Oh, we are so glad you asked. The next big one in SF is this Saturday at 10:30am at City Hall. The organizers put out a call for help -- they need folks to put up flyers, among other things. So, if you've got some spare time, what worthier cause could there be? There's also a protest... [Read more...]

· Writing » Topic » lgbtView article as originally published A few days ago, there was a new ad released by the people backing Prop 8 (the ballot amendment that would allow an out-of-state group to veto whatever California marriages they want). The ad condemned gay marriage and featured "Professor" Richard Peterson (pictured at right) making a number of demonstrably false suggestions. You can watch the ad here -- don't forget to rate! Thankfully, the lawyers for No On... [Read more...]
