A decisão da Suprema Corte dos Estados Unidos de que existe proteção constitucional para casamentos de pessoas do mesmo sexo é a culminação definitiva e maravilhosa de tantos esforços. Acima de tudo, é um testamento para a revolução sair do armário. Centenas de milhares de pessoas LGBT nascidas...

The Supreme Court's finding that there is a constitutional protection for same sex marriage is a final and wonderful culmination of so many efforts. First and foremost it is a testament to the shape shifting revolution of coming out. Hundreds of thousands of LGBT people born in every kind of...

Many of us activists spend our time trying to get people in power to listen, care and act on social issues of the day. And most companies frankly just don't want to get involved. Fear of alienating customers, choosing the wrong side of issues, backlash from disagreeing politicians etc have...

Avez-vous remarqué comme dernièrement, tout le monde se voit attribuer le mérite de l'avance du Président Obama dans les sondages, à part le Président lui-même ? C'est l'image unie du parti démocrate à la convention ; c'est Bill Clinton ; c'est Mitt Romney sourd à la situation de 47 % d'Américains....

Have you noticed lately that everyone else is getting credit for the president being in the lead except President Obama?  It was the cohesive Democratic message at the convention -- it was Bill Clinton bringing it home -- it was Mitt Romney being tone deaf about 47 percent of the...

Arianna said it just right... heartbroken... in DC. What do you do when your friend Nora Ehpron dies? You cry and then you write about it. Because that is what she said to do whenever you told her a story that moved her or amused her. "Write about...

My Twitter feed was on fire after an appearance last night on CNN's AC360, where I said that I thought it was wrong for Mitt Romney to be using his wife as his guide to women's economic struggles when she "had never worked a day in her life." Oh my,...

This public debate on whether or not the Obama administration's sensible policy on covering birth control has turned into a boys against the girls fight. And the boys are out of touch and out of line.

Are Chris Matthews, Joe Scarborough, Mike Barnicle, EJ Dionne and George Will etc. going...

Some of my favorites:

"Gay people have a different role than other minority groups... Very few black kids have ever had to worry about telling their parents that they were black"

"They're (congressional opponents) saying that my ability to marry another man somehow jeopardizes heterosexual marriage. Then they go out...

In all the media buzz about the AOL deal with The Huffington Post, one issue keeps coming up that makes no sense to me. Will Huffington Post bloggers still submit their work for free when HuffPost founders just made a lot of money on their investment?

As a fairly...

Americans have known our health care system was broken for years. During the 2008 Presidential campaign, tragic stories about health care were the number one subject that people talked to then candidate Obama about. So what is the Republican's top agenda now in Congress? To repeal the progress that has...

Help me I think I'm falling in love with you again... Whoa, not so fast, big guy. This week's start of the George Bush reputation resurrection tour has all the requisite trappings of a superstar artist tour. Oprah, The Today Show, etc. And we have early release teasers already. Former...

The "enthusiasm gap" is for sissies. We don't need pollsters to tell us how we feel. We are angry and frustrated. And I don't mean the average voter. I mean Democrats in Washington.

The stakes are high. And we know they are the highest for those people...

I am reading with interest the back and forth about which New York Senate candidate is "better on LGBT issues," the current Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, or the would-be candidate, former Rep. Harold Ford.

LGBT people suffered a frustrating defeat in the New York legislature at the hands of Democrats...

The gay community was hit harshly with realities over the last few weeks as a cabinet and senior White House staff was chosen in a Democratic administration that did not include a gay or lesbian appointee* and Pastor Rick Warren was chosen to give the Invocation on Inauguration Day.

Yes, it is a year for change. Yes Barack Obama knew that before most other politicians and capitalized on that with a unique and brilliant campaign that offered inspiration and principle to us in a consistent and explosive manner. We will elect him as our President tomorrow because he offers...

John McCain lost his final opportunity to convince 30 million people to change their mind about their support for Barack. Since most polls are showing support for Obama has crossed over 50%, McCain has to actually change minds now for him to win. There simply are not enough undecided voters...

A short while ago I wrote a blog post for those of us who weren't financial analysts or bankers about the simple things I would look for in an acceptable legislative bailout proposal.

I said we needed some equity for the taxpayers in any investment the government was...

Lots of smart people with extensive financial and economic expertise will weigh in on the bailout legislation now winding it's way through Congress.

I am going to look for four simple things:

1. Taxpayers need equity in the companies we are saving.

If the government is guaranteeing rather than buying...

I blogged yesterday about going easier on Gov Palin on the experience quotient. Though I outline lots of other reasons I think she would be a disaster as Veep.

This morning I have some pause on my or ANY argument to totally eliminate the experience quotient. I heard Richard...
