    Win the Senate, Win the Courts For a Generation
    Republicans fall in line, Democrats fall in love. This cheesy and juvenile saying drives me crazy, but it's one that I've unfortunately come to accept as one hundred percent accurate. Despite Barack Obama's presidency being a resounding success, he's sitting at a forty percent approval rating and he might very well lose the senate.

    The End is in Sight For Nationwide Marriage Equality
    When is it time to throw in the towel and accept that the tide has turned? Napoleon must have asked himself this very question after being humiliated in the Battle of Waterloo and summarily exiled for the remainder of his life. It's also the same question many anti-gay marriage activists must be asking themselves after the Supreme Court refused to wade back into the gay marriage debate.

    The Department of Defense is poised to issue identification cards to same-sex spouses of military personnel starting Tuesday, a change that will give them the same access to housing and health care benefits as heterosexual spouses. The change comes after a California district court judge ruled last week that the military cannot deny spousal benefits to a lesbian Army veteran, due to the Supreme Court’s June 2013 ruling invalidating a key portion of the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act that had defined marriage as between a man and a woman.

    Tim Pawlenty, Don't Ask Don't Tell, United States & 2012 Republican Presidential Primary
    According to People for the American Way’s Right Wing Watch, former Minnesota Governor and potential presidential candidate Tim Pawlenty chose an interesting venue to promote his new book – the American Family Association’s radio program with Bryan Fischer. Fischer is infamous for his ugly statements about not only the Muslim community but lgbts, calling them biased, sexually deviant felons and pedophiles. Pawlenty in the interview stated "I have been a public supporter of maintaining Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell and I would support reinstating it as well."

    Don't Ask Don't Tell
    On January 27th, 2010 my heart filled with pride as I watched you reaffirm your commitment to end DADT, and my scornful words were directed at the Joint Chiefs of Staff who seemed to be angered at the very prospect and would rather prefer that LGBT soldiers remain hidden in the shadows. Now they are directed at you.

The move comes after a California judge ordered an immediate stay of the 'don't ask, don't tell' policy. But, gays shouldn't be so quick to run to the nearest recruitment center nor should the military race to recruit gays.
