A week ago Rachel Maddow examined the problem that the GOP has in talking about gay issues. Being rabidly anti-gay, as required by their base and when talking to that base, is one thing. Saying those same things to the country as a whole, where a majority approves of gay marriage, is quite another. And with the Supremes about to rule on gay marriage they are going to be asked their opinion. Yeah, there isn't a lot new here, but Maddow explains it well in this 13 minute video.
Did something to tick off the US government? Need a place to hide after spilling the NSA secrets? Brian Jones of Business Insider lists your top ten travel destinations. Try Hong Kong, Switzerland, Brazil, Iran, Cape Verde Islands, France, Venezuela, Ecuador, Iceland, and, in first place, Cuba. Happy fleeing.
As I wrote a couple days ago, Exodus International is closing down and will be replaced with a different organization. Apparently that one will focus on give a safe haven to conservative Christians who are trying to figure out what to do about being gay (as in celibacy or straight marriage). However, since progressives don't want to restrict gays to celibacy and Fundies believe that the only way to deal with being gay is to not be gay, is there anyone who wants to hear this new message?
