How could our nation embrace a movement for change, while three of its states voted to reject the rights of an entire group of Americans? Could this be real?

We've never before had a Presidential and Vice Presidential ticket that was so actively supportive of members of the LGBT community and understanding of how our stories and lives are intricately connected to the story that is America.

If passed, the vile Prop 8 would void the landmark decision of the California Supreme Court this past May that allowed for same-sex marriage.

The new gay and lesbian manners are confusing. What do you call little Heather's two mommies? How do you word a same-sex wedding invitation? How do you deal with gay bullying or a potential hate crime? What do you do when a condom breaks?

The visibility of LGBT celebrities, and the inclusion of LGBT stories in mainstream media outlets, can help to make discussions about being gay easier to start.

After all the justifiable complaining I did about the sexism in Hillary Clinton's primary bid, it's true, I'm having a hard time being hard on Sarah Palin. She is so beside the point.

Let L'Oreal come out with a new line of pig lipstick. I don't care.

Palin needs to know the truth about Love Won Out, and America's parents and families need to know what Governor Palin thinks about harmful, anti-gay conferences.

Like Obama, I grew up with a loving, hard-working single mom, in a neighborhood mixed with all races and different backgrounds. And like Obama, I knew that was our strength and not our weakness.

The question remains as to whether those of us who advocate for sexual and reproductive justice will be included at Saddleback Church's upcoming "Civil Forum."

It is shocking that politicians with personal lives as deeply flawed as Edwards, the Clintons, McCain and others, set themselves up as defenders of an institution they have raped of all moral significance.

For many LGBT people coming of age in the 1970s, 1980s and even 1990s, we felt like we could only live in a gay ghetto. But more and more gay people expect to live their lives the way they choose.

We're months away from the big US election that will alter the course of war in the Middle East, health care for US citizens, and some provide relief from the economy we've slogging through.

John McCain is anti-gay and despite his pretenses toward moderation and tolerance, he is just as dangerous for gays as George W. Bush.

My partner, Diane Olson, and I have been together for 15 years, so we don't need a toaster. What do we want for our wedding? For the conservative governors of other states to mind their own business.

The California Supreme Court ruled that it's unconstitutional to deny same-sex couples the right to marry. It's kind of a big deal.
