Comment on ENDA blame game underway by Mistr Knucklz

Nancy Pelosi and Barney Frank are pathetic and need to go. These idiots have a huge Democratic majority in the House — supported by Gay campaign contributions — but they can’t get their act together to pass ENDA. Over 75 percent of the American people support extending job protection to LGBT people. We need to vote these dopes out of office and support candidates who can get the job done.

Hey Evans – STFU! You don’t care about us or our concerns. The black church has been and continues to be virulently homophobic and you can’t hide behind the appearance of concern regarding the Wone verdict.

What, getting in early before gentrification hit?

Comment on A gay perspective on D.C. gun rights by Steve

I lived in San Francisco during the 80′s and early 90s and owned a weapon. I also regularly went shooting with a gay friend who was also a resident of the City. I suspect there are a great many gays in San Francisco who own weapons for self-defense, but who are in the closet because of the City’s draconian gun laws and the general social stigma attached with with being pro-choice on the issue of self-defense. San Francisco is only an open-minded city on issues that are approved of by the Central Committee.

Call your U.S. Senators and your member of the House of Representatives at 202-224-3121. Let them know that you are calling as one of their constituents, urging them to co-sponsor and vote for the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) now. Get supportive friends and family to call too. Keep doing this until ENDA is voted on and passed THIS YEAR.

If you live in DC and don’t have senators, get your friends & family who live in the other states to make calls. If you live in Virginia, thank Sen. Webb for becoming a co-sponsor of ENDA and urge him to push the bill forward. Call Sen. Warner and ask why he hasn’t yet co-sponsored ENDA and urge him to.

202-224-3121. Call Congress. Pass ENDA.

Most pointless question — asking a bar manager what the best nightspot is. Duh, of course he is going to say Cobalt, lol.
