That would enjoy a place of honor on my mantle.
(Schwarzenegger to help raise money for gay Republicans group)
Hmmm, something about being destroyed from the inside out comes to mind.
Some here may agree for other reasons,
That one of us has to go. lol
I hear a pinch of ginger helps. ;-)
Dianne Feinstein once won the pink brick award. She's been generally friendly to the gay community. She voted against the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996 when gay marriage had not yet come out of the closet.
The reason she got the pink brick? After the 2004 election, she said that the subject of gay marriage "was too much, too fast" for the country. And that this led to the many states which voted to ban it that year, and may have helped re-elect Bush. That really got me, because it was a true statement. She's an ally of the gay community, and she makes a true statement, and they threw the pink brick at her. unbelievable this politically correct world we live in.
Trying to kozy back up with the Hollywood weirdoos , where everything goes .
• AB 1400 by Assemblymember John Laird (D-Santa Cruz) - Unruh Civil Rights Act: marital status and sexual orientation
The Unruh Civil Rights Act (Act) provides that all persons, regardless of their sex, race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, disability, or medical condition are entitled to the full and equal accommodations, advantages, facilities, privileges and services in all business establishments of every kind. This bill clarifies that marital status and sexual orientation are among the characteristics that are protected against discrimination by business establishments under the Act. This bill also imports into the Act definitions of the terms "disability," "religion," "sex," and "sexual orientation" from the Fair Employment and Housing Act, and includes, in enumerating the above characteristics, the perception of those characteristics and association with a person who has or is perceived to have those characteristics as being within the protected categories. These definitions will be integrated into other related provisions of the Act.• AB 1586 by Assemblymember Paul Koretz (D-West Hollywood) - Insurers: health care service plans: discrimination.
This bill adds additional language to existing anti-discrimination provisions under the Health and Safety Code and the Insurance Code to clarify that state law prohibits insurance companies and health care service plans from discriminating on the basis of gender in the creation or maintenance of service contracts or the provision of benefits or coverage. Defines the term "sex," in existing law that prohibits health care service plans (health plans) and insurers from specified discriminatory acts, to have the same meaning as "gender," as defined under the Penal Code, as specified.• SB 565 by Senator Carole Migden (D-San Francisco) - Property tax reappraisal exclusion: domestic partners.
Prior to this bill, there was no domestic partner exclusion that equates to the interspousal exclusion. This bill establishes an exclusion from reassessment for transfers of real property between registered domestic partners. The author indicated that the bill is intended "to guarantee equality for all Californians, regardless of gender or sexual orientation, and to further the state's interests in protecting Californians from the potentially severe economic and social consequences of abandonment, separation, the death of a partner, and other life crises."• SB 973 by Senator Sheila Kuehl (D-Santa Monica) - Public employees' retirement: domestic partners.
Bill amends the Public Employees Retirement System (PERS), the State Teachers Retirement System (STRS), and the County Employees Retirement Act of 1937 to entitle retired members to elect to change optional retirement allowances to provide for their domestic partners.• AB 228 by Assemblymember Paul Koretz (D-West Hollywood) - Transplantation services: human immunodeficiency virus.
Prohibits health care service plans (health plans) and health insurers from denying coverage for organ or tissue transplantation services on the basis that an enrollee, subscriber, insured, or policyholder is infected with HIV.
How come they never mention all the PRO-GLBT legislation that Arnold signed on the same day he vetoed the Gay Marriage bill? He has been a true friend of the GLBT.

I have a theory about that. ;-)
Diversity Uber Alles.
AIDS is still incurable. In fact it's still got a 100% mortality rate, it's just the length of time until that happens which has been altered for many on the so-call cocktails.
Giving them to an HIV+ patient seems an immorally inefficient use of scarce transplantation items. If there's not another compatible match, fine, but they should not preempt otherwise better candidates awaiting transplants.
He's facing them head-on, not dodging the Log Cabin GOP like W has.
I think it's great that Arnold's trying to raise funds for Republicans of any stripe.
OMG. So he is a RINO.
I was hoping it was propaganda.
And you have continuously supported the GLBT agenda. No surprise there!
CIVIL RIGHTS ACT? Give me a break!
>>>>I think it's great that Arnold's trying to raise funds for Republicans of any stripe.
Of any stripe? Main Street Repubs are real Repubs. Those are just democrats infiltrating.
Don't blame me; I voted for Tom McClintock
>>>Of any stripe? Main Street Repubs are real Repubs. Those are just democrats infiltrating.
Should have been:
Of any stripe? Main Street Repubs aren't real Repubs. Those are just democrats infiltrating.
HOOYAAAHHH!!!! :-D
Always has been; always will be.
Look behind the facade of any "bipartisan" legislation. It means Arnold (R) and the legislative majority (D) have joined together to pass more socialistic spending, regulation, etc. usually in direct opposition to the majority of Republican legislators. Big Bang Bonds, Global Warming, Stem Cell Research, record spending increases--you name it! Maria is quite pleased, though.
