"Achmed The Terrorist" Plays Trans To Disrupt Colts Game!
Indiana's Bureau of Motor Vehicles recently agreed not to "red-flag" people whose gender doesn't match their driver's license. That's reasonable: why should someone be suspected simply because they're a different gender? Simple, yes? Not to American Family Association of Indiana member Micah Clark. Through Clark's imbecilic "logic", an innocuous decision to end trans stigmatization becomes a terrorist win. Here's but a small taste: In a day of rampant identity theft and a war with terrorists, the Indiana BMV believes that not offending a person who is a cross-dresser or someone who has had a sex change overrides any security risk that could happen through a gender and SSI number mismatch. It gets twice as bad and three times as offensive, after the jump… |

Opposition On The Decline
Indiana's denizens feeling gay marriage these days: Support among Hoosiers for a state constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage appears to be on the decline, according to an Indianapolis Star-WTHR (Channel 13) poll. Indiana's Senate definitely doesn't approve of same-sex nuptials: they passed a ban earlier this year. The House of Representatives, however, squashed that nasty piece of legislation. Voters and politicians expect it to rear its ugly head again in 2008. Something to look forward to, huh? [Ed. Note: Thanks, HKG. Dyslexia and morning grogginess are a killer combination. Good looking out.] |

Unsexy DNA
Cigarette butts from the crime scene held the truth for over 25-years before police got the technology to close the cold case. But they obviously had their suspicions:
Also, both the men's first name's start with 'G'. Now that coppers have finally proved their point, Seltzer's settling back into his prison digs. Don't you love technology? |

A number of gay blogs have covered the story. Some of you wondered why we've yet mentioned what some people are describing as the most gruesome anti-gay hate crime since Matthew Shepherd. The answer to that's just as complicated as the alleged killer's accounts of incident. |

The offending article, penned by a kick ass student named Megan Chase, read: I can only imagine how hard it would be to come out as homosexual in today’s society. I think it is so wrong to look down on those people, or to make fun of them, just because they have a different sexuality than you. There is nothing wrong with them or their brain; they’re just different than you. Following the piece's publication, Woodlan principal Edwin Yoder swore he'd set things straight and took control of the paper, suspending Sorrell until he could decide her fate. After being suspended with pay, Sorrell and the school district have come to a "mutual" agreement. |

Yes, we know it's scary, but it's a reality and it won't go away. Luckily for American principles everywhere, Woodlan High School's Principal Edwin Yoder has made it his duty to curb free speech at his Fort Wayne, Indiana stomping ground, ensuring that students will never, ever have to read filth such as this: I can only imagine how hard it would be to come out as homosexual in today’s society. I think it is so wrong to look down on those people, or to make fun of them, just because they have a different sexuality than you. There is nothing wrong with them or their brain; they’re just different than you. Oh, it burns! It burns! |

It all started way back on December 15, 2005, when Dayton popped into his neighborhood Hobart, Indiana, Taco Bell for a bit of their oh-so-delicious and oh-so-economic meals. He got an earful of homo-haterade from not-so model employee, Amber Barnes. Apparently not one for the 'mos, Barnes refused him service, called him, as Glenn Beck would say, "naughty" names and then kicked his ride as he made his getaway. |

• Libya's come to its senses and has agreed to free the six health workers it sentenced to death for "infecting" children with HIV. Of the mix-up, Muammar al-Gaddafi's son Saif al-Islam said: "The case went in the wrong direction from the very beginning. There were many manipulations in the original files, many errors … This is why we should seek a compromise". That means, of course, that Bulgaria's prepared to cough up the ransom. • An Indiana senate committee voted 7-4 to ban same-sex marriage today. Protesters singing "We Shall Overcome" were promptly ejected from the room. God bless America. • Has Tennis great Bill Tilden been written out of sports history because he was gay? Pink New UK's Ben Leung seems to think so… • Brandy already apologized for accidentally killing someone with her car. Now the family wants $50 million? What's this world coming to? • The United Nations has finally released a report on the plight of Iraqi gays. Guess what? It's not good. • Ralph Fiennes love AIDS! Patients, that is. He's in India spreading some good will. |

There's a religious debate brewing in Indiana, and for once it has little to do with God. Well, okay, God is still part of the debate – When isn't she? – but this time around it's got more to do with illegal advertising than anything else. The Jesus Metropolitan Community Center, which is being lauded for its inclusion of the gay community, is also on the receiving end of criticism for the way it's going about promoting itself: by placing signs in public rights of way, including on people's yards, in violation of local law. Local publication The Word is mounting the offensive. The "Would Jesus Discriminate?" campaign is part of the Jesus MCC's push to include all people in its faith, and not just those Pat Robertson would approve. But The Word is calling the church on its have-cake-eat-cake approach, as well as its attempt to speak for an entire community of people that never authorized it to do so:
And we tend to agree. In the same manner we'd call out an anti-gay organization for illegal promotion of their agenda, a pro-gay group has no more right to post placards on property they don't have a right to. The Word Not Happy With "Would Jesus Discriminate?" Campaign [Advance Indiana] |
