Facebook has rejected our attempt to place a targeted ad for our upcoming lesbian romantic comedy "And Then Came Lola." The film will premiere in June at the Frameline Film Festival in June. For more on the story you can check out Shewired.com's story here: http://shewired.com/Article.cfm?ID=22441
or check out our And Then Came Lola fansite at: http://www.facebook.com/pages/And-Then-Came-Lola/53981972250
Facebook seems to have a double standard when it comes to images of lesbians. Homophobia seems to be at the core of the rejection. Stay tuned, it ain't over!

It's my opinion on Miss California's speech against gay marriage.
In most states, when one partner in a same-sex relationship dies, the other partner is left with nothing. I am sure we have all heard the horror stories of the deceased's family swooping in and taking everything and leaving nothing for their son or daughter's "roommate".
Many of these problems can be fixed with a will, but it is important to find an attorney with experience with same-sex couples. What works for a heterosexual married couple might not work with an LGB one.
I talk about other things you will want to consider regarding wills here: Three Estate Planning Strategies for Same-sex Couples.

On Saturday, October 3rd, 2009, I will join thousands of other people in the 23rd annual AIDS Walk Washington. This event is a 5K fundraising walk and timed run, benefiting and produced by Whitman-Walker Clinic.
I would greatly appreciate your support for this worthwhile cause. My personal fundraising goal is $1000. Would you please visit my personal AIDS Walk Washington website and make a donation today?
Whitman-Walker Clinic is a nonprofit, community-based organization founded in 1973 that provides affordable, accessible and high-quality health services to the Washington metropolitan area. With the advent of the AIDS epidemic, the Clinic became a leader in the fight against HIV/AIDS. The Clinic has offices in northwest and southeast D.C. In addition to medical care, the Clinic’s services include HIV testing and counseling, addiction services, a day treatment center, mental health programs, legal services and an at-cost pharmacy providing HIV medication. You can find out more about the Clinic at www.wwc.org.
Your contribution will help Whitman-Walker Clinic provide critical services to those living with HIV/AIDS. Every dollar brings hope and provides needed care. Please visit my personal fundraising website to make a secure online donation. You can also print a donation form at my website if you prefer to mail your donation. Checks should be made payable to AIDS Walk Washington and mailed to PO Box 73768, Washington DC 20056-3768. All contributions are 100 percent tax deductible.

Thank you so much for your support and generosity.
Sincerely,
Douglas Gibson Jr.

My name is Shannon Drury, President of the Minnesota chapter of the National Organization for Women (www.mnnow.org). Support for GLBT civil rights is one of our core values, and has been since our inception forty years ago. What follows below is the text of a action alert on this subject that was sent to our members, and that I read aloud at the Marriage Equality Rally at the Minnesota State Capitol on February 12, 2009.

Steve Schmidt, one of John McCain’s presidential campaign advisers, has compiled his argument supporting marriage equality using conservative values for a speech scheduled to be given to the Log Cabin Republicans.
