For Those Who Say, "Why Protest? It's over"
Eric Ethington (Author) | November 11, 2008
For all those who have commented on why the LGBT community (and others) are protesting the outcome of Prop 8 in California, and the laws in Arizona and Florida as well.

Churches continue to complain about Prop 8 backlash
Eric Ethington (Author) | November 10, 2008

Victory for Democrats! But 3 steps forward and 2 backwards for Human Rights.
Eric Ethington (Author) | November 5, 2008
What more proof do we need that the nation is divided? On the same day that turns out record numbers of voters nationwide, most of whom are voting either for the first time, or for the first time for a Democrat, we also see a pull back for Human Rights. Congratulations to President-elect Barack Obama! It’s [...]
