The White House's official site has been updated with what, sadly, in 2009 we still have to call a brave list of commitments to equality for LGBT citizens of the United States. It will be truly inspirational if it passes. The thing that this doesn't make clear is that while Obama supports civil unions and opposes same-sex marriage ban legislation, there's nothing about what's going to happen to the POTSS that have actually got married, as opposed to unioned. Will they get legally recognised as married again or will they be downgraded to just being in a civil union?

This one's for Patrick and Kevin, The Onion accidentally slips into reportage rather than humour.
Nation Finally Shitty Enough To Make Social Progress.
Meanwhile, good luck to Californian gays and lesbians as they try to get Proposition 8 overturned.

Homophobic old man kept in police cells for eight hours after slurs against gay men. Serves him right.

Is anyone surprised that the Daily Telegraph misrepresent the Civil Partnerships Act as a 'gay marriage' bill so they can use scarequotes throughout this article on how evangelical Anglican churches around the UK are barring liberal priests from entering them in the row over gay clergy who are apparently all 'marrying' their boyfriends?
They also have an article on what BBC bosses of the time thought about Monty Python's Flying Circus. Mind you, these people didn't see anything wrong with The Black and White Minstrel Show.
It seems Scientology is a charity in the UK, not a religion.
The Sun find it newsworthy to report that there may one day be a Muslim Prime Minister. This has the predictable effect on the paper's constituency, lots of references to Churchill rolling in his grave and 'Enoch was right', 'hopeless1974' says This country is already being run by those not from it. The current government as always only gives a dam about themselves. So why not throw the country to the non-English and the muslims, let's hope that when they take over they give hopeless some spelling and grammar tips. More ignorance is on display at The Sun's message boards. I'm confused by these people that claim that Britain is already a Muslim state, but then I suspect that they are the ones that also think the country is run by a female-Jewish-homosexual cabal whenever someone is foolish enough to ask them for their ill thought out opinion.
