Gay Rights No Factor in Ford-Green Senate Race
May 8, 2008 – 4:03 pm
I would say that Sen. Robert Ford’s support in the gay community is mixed. I’ve heard very good things and I’ve gotten very disturbing scowls when his name has come up among gay friends.
That said, nobody can argue with his recent record supporting gay causes. When I heard he had a challenger for the seat, […]

It’s Official!
A letter arrives from Ketner For Congress HQ:

March 11, 2008 – 9:35 am
The Lowcountry Blogroll has a brief wrap of local reactions to Oklahoma Rep. Sally Kern’s rant against gay people. In the video below she talks about how gay people are the biggest threat to our nation (bigger than terrorism) and how the lifestyle has “deadly consequences.” She says that “no society that has totally embraced […]
Columbia Becomes “Family-Friendly”
March 5, 2008 – 3:03 pm
From the hard working people at the South Carolina Equality Coalition we hear the following:
“Just minutes ago, the Columbia City Council voted unanimously to pass ordinances prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity in housing and public accommodations. South Carolina Equality proposed these ordinances in January and the ordinances passed […]

S.C. Marriage Tax Cut Pitched As Attack On Gays
January 24, 2008 – 1:22 pm
Having already barred gays and lesbians from marrying (going so far as to put it in the state’s constitution), South Carolina’s legislative conservatives are now looking to provide a tax cut for married couples. Just in case you thought it was just a coincidence that the state would propose this benefit just months after the […]
Wish He Would Run
January 23, 2008 – 2:36 pm
Even more proof that I wish Al Gore would step back into the political ring… He has now come out in full support for gay marriage. And that’s more than we can say for ahem…. any of the other candidates.
But why now? What would be Gore’s motivation for showing the disparity between […]
