Last night's loss in Maine for marriage equality was very disappointing, losing by about 5 percentage points, but the ENDA-like non-discrimination ordinance won in Kalamazoo by an amazing 30 percentage points. The Kalamazoo ordinance covers housing and public accommodations, in addition to the workplace, so its win indicates [...]
Tonight is a big night for LGBT rights and issues- Marriage Equality in Maine, Relationship Recognition in Washington State, and a Human Rights Ordinance in Kalamazoo. Add that to the openly gay candidates (Annise Parker in Houston) and races that effect our movement (the New Jersey [...]

Unlike the Indiana Daily Student’s editorial board (October 16), I am very disappointed in Baron Hill for voting to criminalize thought by supporting the fraudulent “hate crimes” bill that was dishonestly attached to a defense spending authorization. Baron Hill’s vote makes it clear that if you have beliefs that [...]
