"Lover" Official Music Video - Tom Goss
"Lover" tells a story very rarely told: of the loss endured by partners of gay servicemembers who are killed in battle.
The video features Goss as the bereaved partner of an army soldier (DC actor Ben Horen) killed while on duty in Afghanistan. Among those playing medics who come to the aid of the wounded soldier are several former servicemembers who were discharged under the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy: Mike Almy, David Hall, and Danny Hernandez, all of whom are active members of SLDN. Keith Bryant stars as a fellow soldier.
The video, Goss's fourth, was filmed in DC and Alexandria. is being directed by DC residents Aram Vartian and Michael Key of DC; Dylan Comstock is director of photography.

Catholic Mother Wears A Rainbow Pin Daily
...I wear a rainbow pin every day because...
· I believe that the rainbow is a symbol of a promise from God.
· I believe we are all His children, and have an inheritance in that promise.
· I believe that wearing it reminds those who would deny my child a place at His table that they don't own the guest list.
· I believe that wearing it gives hope to a gay youngster that there are adults who can love him.
· I believe that wearing it gives parents an open door to talk to me about their gay children; and that leads to affirmed and healthy children.
· I believe that it starts the conversation with those who are ignorant of the struggles of gay folk.
· So, if you see me in your communion line with a rainbow cross, or pin, or peace sign; I would hope you realize that wearing the pin is my way of reaching out to the marginalized, and reminding them that they are welcome, loved.
· When I serve as extraordinary minister of the Eucharist, I wear it to remind me not to judge anyone who comes forward, but instead to share with them the table of the Lord. We are all God's children, He loves us all.

18 Anti-Gay Groups and Their Propaganda
Even as some well-known anti-gay groups like Focus on the Family moderate their views, a hard core of smaller groups, most of them religiously motivated, have continued to pump out demonizing propaganda aimed at homosexuals and other sexual minorities. These groups’ influence reaches far beyond what their size would suggest, because the “facts” they disseminate about homosexuality are often amplified by certain politicians, other groups and even news organizations. Of the 18 groups profiled, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) will be listing 13 next year as hate groups (eight were previously listed), reflecting further research into their views; those are each marked with an asterisk. Generally, the SPLC’s listings of these groups is based on their propagation of known falsehoods — claims about LGBT people that have been thoroughly discredited by scientific authorities — and repeated, groundless name-calling. Viewing homosexuality as unbiblical does not qualify organizations for listing as hate groups. See full list here.

Al Franken: Safe Schools for LGBT Students Is A Right
At a press conference on November 18 U.S. Senator Al Franken (D-MN) introduced the Student Non-Discrimination Act (SNDA), which protects students from harassment, bullying, and violence based on actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity. The SNDA has 29 Senate cosponsors. Its companion bill authored by Rep. Jared Polis (D-Colo) also enjoys broad support. Franken was joined at the conference by Minnesotan Tammy Aaberg. In July 2010 her 15-year-old son Justin committed suicide after prolonged bullying at school about his being gay. Aaberg told the audience that she had never realized the torment Justin had experienced until his friends told her. She discovered the Anoka-Hennepin School District provided no definitions of LGBT bullying or guidelines for intervention.

9/11 New World Order Plan: Europe, America vs Russia, China
Lyndon LaRouche 'Tragedy & Hope' address in Washington D.C. on May 7, 2008.
LaRouche talked about Obama getting the nomination and the evil mindset behind the "Lisbon Treaty" to create a British-European totalitarian superstate.
The brilliant, but wicked and evil spirited occult New World Order masterplan is unfolding. The ultimate goal of globalization (or globalisation) through propaganda and rhetoric (War on Terror) and initiating chaos that eventually will lead to depopulation (genocide).

What is America's True Form of Government?
The word "democracy" is not found in the U.S. constitution, nor is it in any state's constitution. Majority rule means minorities suffer.
This explains the difference between a true democracy and a constitutional republic of which we have in the U.S.
Getting rid of the electoral vote in favor of a majority vote in our elections means getting rid of "the Republic for which we stand"!
With a true democracy, majority rules, however, having a republic means more equal representation for minority groups.
The only choices we are left with in the end are a republic (ruled by laws in favor of rights) or an oligarchy (ruled by elite few such as big corporations or political parties).

"My son is gay...
Or he’s not. I don’t care. He is still my son. And he is 5. And I am his mother. And if you have a problem with anything mentioned above, I don’t want to know you."
She goes on to tell about how her 5-year-old son is a big fan of 'Scooby Doo' and decided to go as 'Daphney' for Halloween this year at his Christian pre-school. As you can imagine, some people had a problem with it. Please read the whole short story here. This mother is courageous, and I applaud her for the way she is allowing her son to be himself.
