Gay Marriage Survives In New Hampshire
Eric Ethington (Author) | February 18, 2010
Concord NH – Supporters of the state’s new same sex marriage law in New Hampshire came out victorious over opponents who attempted to repeal the human-rights law this week.

Utahns Studying Local Discrimination Against LGBTs
Eric Ethington (Author) | February 16, 2010
When the “compromise” first started rolling out, Utahns were told that a year-long study would be included to show legislators just what type of discrimination was happening in the reddest-of-red states. But Senate President Waddoups and Senator Neiderhauser decided it wasn’t a good idea. Taking the initiative, Equality Utah has announced that they will be [...]
Dick Cheney: The New Gay Rights Crusader
Eric Ethington (Author) | February 15, 2010
With so many people fighting over Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, it’s interesting seeing which side people are taking. Dick Cheney, known as one of the most far-right extremists in politics today (just below Karl Rove), and father of an out-and-proud lesbian, said yesterday that he thinks DADT should be revoked. Most people only saw or [...]

Taylorsville – On Sunday, a group of LGBT activists from PRIDE In Your Community went door to door in Taylorsville UT, including Senate President Michael Waddoups’ door.

LGBT Protesters Are Silent
Eric Ethington (Author) | February 13, 2010
SLC – Yesterday, 65 gay rights protesters gathered at the Utah State Capitol building to protest threats made by Senate President Michael Waddoups against the LGBT community if they speak up. So in their response, the LGBT activists did just that.. they sit down and shut up. I feel a little weird covering this protest [...]

Eric Ethington (Author) | February 11, 2010
SLC – Senate President Michael Waddoups has come under heavy fire over the last week since he released a statement with a thinly-veiled threat telling the LGBT community to be quiet. Now he’s released a new statement trying to backpedal, while issuing the threat all over again! Last night on the Senate’s blog, Waddoups claimed [...]
NOM Doesn’t Care Judge Is Gay, But It’s Wrong
Eric Ethington (Author) | February 9, 2010
In an update to Sunday’s story about Prop 8 Trial Judge Vaughn Walker being gay, NOM (people from the “storm is coming” commercial) has released a statement that it doesn’t matter he’s gay.. he’s just incredibly biased. While both official sides in the Prop 8 Trial case are both claiming that they don’t care about [...]

Eric Ethington (Author) | February 8, 2010
R.I – Marriage Equality Rhode Island has received pledges from all Democratic and Independant Governor hopefuls that they will support and fight for Gay Marriage.. no word yet from Republican hopefuls of course.
