128 gays to be executed in Iraq
Their “crime”? Being gay.
Update: The site referenced by SFist is a blog with just a few posts, and it asks for donations. They cite an Amnesty article as their source, but Amnesty says that 128 will be executed, but does not mention gays. Not once.
Something here isn’t right.

Anita Bryant and Sarah Palin
Anita gets a pie in the face. 1977.
Well there’s no real difference between Anita Bryant and Sarah Palin, is there? Except maybe that Bryant can utter repeated coherent sentences without a teleprompter, that is. Both are reactionary bigots who hide their hatreds behind a pious cloak of extreme right wing religiosity.

Andrew Sullivan in one of his most eloquent moments.
I respect [Mormon's] right to freedom of conscience and religion. In fact, it is one of my strongest convictions. But when they use their money and power to target my family, to break it up, to demean [...]
No on 8. What comes next?
Matt in SFist, says what needs to be said.
Saturday protests had great energy, but by the end, lack of leadership was painfully obvious
In 2006 there were historically large marches for immigration rights nationwide, notably in Los Angeles where somewhere between 500,000 and one million marched in the largest protest ever in L.A.
But that huge and [...]
Court challenges to Prop 8
From the WSJ law blog, detailing the three similar court challenges to Prop 8. They hinge on whether Prop 8 is an amendment or a revision to the state constitution. The difference is crucial.
The three lawsuits challenge the procedure by which the referendum was passed. Under California law, there are two categories of changes that [...]
