Hillary isn't good friends and confidant to to rev. James T. Meeks an Illinois state senator also one of the most active and anti-gay marriage people in the country. Hillary has always given interviews and been active and ridden on floats in New Yorks gay pride parade. I have lived in Chicago for 6 years and haven't seen Barrack in the parade once. Nor even seen an ad about pride from him in windy city times nor free press out two main gay news papers here in chicago. This year of all years he chose to skip the parade for a haircut at Vancliff the pricey african american salon he and his wife go to and a bball play and steam at chicagos elite east bank club. He did'nt even have a float without him. Only supporters marching handing out Obama pride stickers. His excuse? Security. Only a month or so later he was grand marshall at a southside parade here in Chicago. Come on Barrack give us some more of your bull shit to pander for our votes. Or stand up to your own community and stop the cycle.

This year, the most sexist media figure is actually a woman: Lauren Corrao of Comedy Central, a Viacom subsidiary. Last year’s award was given to Fox anchor Bill O’Reilly. According to Myra Foster, chair of WFN, Corrao, who is president of development for Comedy Central, won the award based on a Comedy Central development slate for 2009 announced last spring that contained the name of not a single woman either as an entertainer or as a producer. “We did a content analysis of the March 12th press release sent out by Corrao, and what we found were the names of 45 men and the name of one woman – herself,” said Foster, an entertainment lawyer active in women’s issues. “This is a development slate more appropriate to Syrian National Television than to an American cable network owned by Sumner Redstone’s Viacom.” WFN Vice-Chair Jodie Spring noted that past Comedy Central press releases boasted of the fact the network’s President, Michele Ganeless, is also a woman. “Are these two executives ‘women who hate women?’” asked Spring. “We don’t know. Some studies have shown that when women reach positions of power, they often pull up the ladder behind them.” “Neverthless, to have 45 men involved in developing your new comedy season, and not a single woman, should set off alarm bells to both Corrao and Ganeless and MTV’s Doug Herzog that something is majorly wrong at their network.” Entertainment insiders say it was Corrao who was rumored to have opposed giving a new show to Comedy Central’s sole female success story, Sarah Silverman, whose show has turned into a huge hit for Comedy Central. She was overruled by MTV Networks Entertainment Group prexy Doug Herzog. As her prize, Corrao will be sent a giant bronzed rat, according to Spring. Women’s Flash Network is a membership organization of women in media from 42 states and Puerto Rico. The press release that the award is based on is reproduced below. * * * March 12, 2008 COMEDY CENTRAL (R) Presents the Future of Comedy With its 2008-2009 Talent and Development Slate Fantasy-Comedy 'Krod Mandoon and The Flaming Sword of Fire' Receives Series Order and Will Premiere in 1Q 2009 NEW YORK, March 12 NEW YORK, March 12 /PRNewswire/ -- With a week of new series and new seasons on COMEDY CENTRAL featuring the premiere of "Lewis Black's Root of All Evil," new seasons of "South Park," "Lil' Bush" and "Kenny vs. Spenny," and ongoing, award-winning "Indecision 2008" political coverage from "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" and "The Colbert Report," the all-comedy network could be excused if it sat back and laughed along with its viewers for a spell. But, not resting on its laurels, the channel, coming off its second consecutive record-breaking year, is hard at work securing the future of comedy with a star-studded 2008-09 development slate, announced today by Lauren Corrao, president, original programming and development, COMEDY CENTRAL .

"Krod Mandoon and The Flaming Sword of Fire" is an outrageous, live-action, character-driven comedy that takes place in the "long ago past" and features the reluctant hero Krod Mandoon, a sensitive, clueless freedom fighter, as the last great hope in a medieval struggle.

Please. However, please note that Colichman is voting for Obama. He's just not sending him a check, and that's the right thing to do. Neither Obama nor Hillary deserve financial support from gay people. No ethical gay person should support the Democratic party's push under Howard Dean's leadership to soft-pedal gay issues in order to make the party more comfortable for bigots. The Democrats put us first on the list of people to ask for money and last on the list of legislative priorities. Coilichman has done more to change this than any of the people attacking him here will probably ever do. Smart gays with self-respect are giving to the Victory Fund and EQCA.

He just wants equal rights without segregation involved and especially without a religious citation attached to it, as also many of us would also prefer. Senator Clinton has stated also that she supports civil unions but for different main-reasons, for the sake of compromising. Senator Clinton: "I believe in full equality of benefits, nothing left out," she said. "From my perspective there is a greater likelihood of us getting to that point in civil unions or domestic partnerships and that is my very considered assessment." She went on to say that her position could evolve, as it did with Al Gore. In my opinion, Senator Clinton is not perfect on LGBT issues but she is certainly more comfortable than Senator Obama with this issue, as he did fumble on this topic at the faith forum. So if you’re a single-issue person like Colichman, which is really irresponsible, then it would be obvious that Senator Clinton is a better selection on LGBT issues.

California is not happening because of either party. It is happening because a politician decided to do what he thought was right and marry people in the city he was mayor of. For those of you that criticize those who demand more than crumbs from their candidates should realize thats exactly what you are going to get, crumbs. McCain will starve us, Obama will just keep us hungry. Hopefully one day we will get leadership that is willing to stand for what is right and not posture his or herself politically just to get the office. We can give Obama a chance, demand that he give us more than he is offering and if he does not give us more than crumbs show him and his party that there is not going to be a next time. At some point we have stand up and demand what is ours. Its his money to do with what he pleases. There is more than just gay marriage and the 2 candidates having the same opinion on it, there was also FISA which Obama voted for and Clinton did not.

They really aren't all that Liberal. If they were truly liberal then GLBT-ers would have equal rights. Dems play a game time and time again seducing the gays, but then doing nothing for us. I'm not Republican, but I find it refreshing that they are honest about GLBT issues and where they stand. I respect honesty, but I can't deal with the lies from the Dems.

Who cares if someone votes Republican? Who cares if they vote Democrat? It is that person's individual choice. Some of you people on here are more frightening than political parties spewing anger and hate. Grow up. We are free to sleep with whoever we want and vote for whoever we want.

Rest assured that you will see more subscribers to your magazines than otherwise. My wife and I most certainly plan to renew our existing one. The "under the bus" metaphor is more than appropriate for his everyday political changes. He's hypocrisy is clear to anyone who follows the news. He's snub of Hillary and not even taking her into consideration did it for me. I'm not following in line such a pied piper and like the saying goes what's good for the goose is good for the gander, if I and my now wife thanks to a Republican majority Supreme court are not worthy in his eyes of being in the same level as any other couple then screw him. I'm not voting for a party's name if the Democrats are now going to behave just like the same people they have criticized and use the slogan of change and not old Washington politics then don't count with my vote.

I'm scared. how many people do you know that have been arrested for sodomy? How many people do you know who have received speeding tickets?? Just because a law is on the book doesn't mean it is enforced. Do you know how many cities across this country have outdated laws stating that it is illegal to spit on a sidewalk? i don't think our prisons are filled with spitters and for that matter people who swallow won't be put behind bars either. it is just more gloom doom rhetoric that if a republican wins the sky is going to fall. Chicken Little it didn't fall and it won't. RJP3…I could be arrested in my home for sodomy???!! I’m scared. how many people do you know that have been arrested for sodomy?
