Of course there are some. But my perception (and it seems Obama's camp agrees) is that it's a small number compared to the number of people who are too unhappy with how little he's supported the community so far to want to vote for him again.

Looking at the 60%+ vote for Amendment 1, it's clear that the anti-gay vote is ALREADY mobilized. Any further mobilization caused by this is going to be marginal. A small price to pay to re-mobilize the base that carried him in '08.

I'm starting to think we need a law that constitutional amendments (state or national) can only be put on the major ballots. They're always sneaking sh*t like this in on primary ballots, which makes it way to easy for the non-incumbent party to ensure better turnout.

I think that's a large part of why these things are on the ballot in the first place- to mobilize their base.

Secret Gay Agenda Revealed

I am getting extra excited for Pride SLC this weekend...

Mormons Building Bridges is supposed to be at the front of the parade. This group's intentions are to be involved with Pride festivities around the country... Interesting...

A lot of LGBTQ out here come from Mormon families, so it's obviously a huge deal here. There has been a big It Gets Better movement out here, but until this group it always felt a little more like "we get the attraction you have, but we won't really accept you 100%".

Hmm, hmm, hmmmmm...

“He’s very much the character he was. He’s still the pinnacle of bravery and idealism. He’s also gay,” “Earth 2″ writer James Robinson told The Post.

The Emerald Guardian’s sexuality was rebooted along with the rest of his fictional universe as part of DC’s “New 52″ initiative aimed at rejuvenating their characters.

Robinson said he decided to make the change because making the character young again meant erasing Scott’s gay superhero son out of existence.

“The only downside of his being young was we lose his son, Obsidian, who’s gay. So I thought, ‘Why not make Alan Scott gay?’” Robinson recalled. “That was the seed that started it.”

He ran his idea by the bosses at DC, “who signed off on it without hesitation.”
