The Villagers are getting Restless
There was some sorta excitement today… something about protesters storming Speaker Pelosi’s offices, both in DC and SF, trying to force action on the Employment Non-Discrimination Act. On top of that Lt. Dan Choi, poster boy for the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, usurped a press event that HRC was holding on behalf of Kath Griffin’s D-list visit to the nation’s capital by taking to podium and imploring rally attendees to follow him as he marched to the White House… and handcuffed himself to the fence outside.
Geeze it’s almost like this was almost co-ordinated or something. Towleroad and AMERICAblog have more. See Lt. Choi’s speech to the Rally after the jump…
Be Good Johnny Weir?
Sundance channel decided to give Olympic figure skater Johnny Weir his own show. I’m unconvinced that this was a wise idea, however if this clip is any indication it might be worth just to see him walk around in briefs finding various ways to use a massager…
Florida will block tax credits for entertainment industry if movie or tv show has gay characters
From AMERICA blog GAY , and Google
In a move that indicates how out of touch with the entertainment industry the Florida Republican majority in the state legislature is, a provision to deny tax credits to any film or television production that contains gay characters was slipped into a 75 million dollar incentive bill. Supposedly, the bill is designed to encourage film and television production in Florida. The author of the provision apparently does not have a clue about Hollywood. (The California Hollywood. I’m not sure how the Florida Hollywood rolls)
In the words of the provision’s author, “Think of it as like Mayberry,” state Rep. Stephen Precourt, R-Orlando, said, referring to The Andy Griffith Show. “That’s when I grew up — the ’60s. That’s what life was like. I want Florida to be known for making those kinds of movies: Disney movies for kids and all that stuff. Like it used to be, you know?”

What goes around…
So apparently having a 100% rating from the anti-gay Capitol Resource Family Impact group for voting against every LGBT rights bill during your tenure means that you’re inevitably going to get busted as a hypocritical douchebag for a DUI as you leave a gay bar in Sacramento with another man in your car.
At least if you’re Roy Ashburn, R-Bakersfield.

Westboro Baptists Protest Wilson High School
Last week the Westboro Baptist Church decided to march outside Wilson High School in Long Beach. What they were met with was thousands of students counter protesting in a crowd that dwarfed their own. Sometimes I wonder if they realize they’re galvanizing thousands of people who would never take a stand for or against gay issues into strong supporters for the cause they oppose. Probably not, that’d require a little more self-reflection than they seem capable of.
