ABC Leading the Pack in GLAAD Awards

Link The American Broadcasting Company (ABC) network has scored five noms to beat out the rest of the free tv companies. Still, the big unanswered question is why the all-LGBT Logo didn't absolutely sweep the contest.

Would You Thank Fred Phelps?

Link While the Rev we all love to hate is busy spreading hateful attention on the death of Heath Ledger (who pretended to be a gay man in "Brokeback Mountain"), a group of LGBT activists claims that psychotic pseudo-man of the cloth is actually the greatest boon for the gay rights cause since Stonewall.

Rev Gains Rights Via Loophole

Link For the last five years, out lesbian Jen Nagel has been doing all the things you'd expect a reverend of the church to be doing. But she hasn't been able to call herself "Reverend" until now, thanks to a loophole in the laws for the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

Report: Life Was Better for Gays Under Saddam

Link Prior to the "big liberation" by US troops, gays and lesbians in Iraq say they weren't out loud and proud -- but they were quietly accepted by society. Since Saddam is gone and chaos is taking over, LGBT Iraqis say they're facing new discrimination and violence.

Parental Rights Gaining Ground in Europe

Link Europe's Court of Human Rights ruling in a French lesbian's adoption case is setting a precedent for the continent. Excluding people from the adoption process solely due to their orientation is a human rights no-no, so Ms. EB and her wife R are now co-parents -- and 10,000 Euros richer.

Campaign Frustrates LGBT Activists

Link No, you're not imagining things. When the Prez '08 campaign was young, the Dems did a pretty good job of sounding pro-gay rights. But as the days go by, they just don't seem to be waving that rainbow flag quite as much.
