Iowa’s G.O.P. Lawmakers Take Aim at Gay Marriage



After the historic ruling last week in Iowa, legalizing gay marriage...lawmakers are trying to overrule the court's decision. We say, "Thou protest too much!" We will never understand why there is so much opposition to something that will not harm or hinder anyone's life...except for those too quick to jump the gun and end up in divorce court perhaps. By the way, if they can legalize marriage in Iowa, whats the hold up in California, New York and New Jersey?

But I'm Not Gay! Ex-B Ball Player Sues CMU, Claims Sexual Bias

Just when we thought that being out and gay on most jobs would be a hindrance, we see something like this. Central Michigan and its women's basketball coach are being sued by a former player, who claims her heterosexuality was a factor in losing a scholarship after two seasons.

Brooke Heike said she fell out of favor with Sue Guevara immediately after the coach was hired in 2007.

Heike said Guevara told her she wore too much makeup and was not the coach's "type." That meant she wasn't a lesbian, according to a lawsuit filed last week in federal court in Bay City.

The former Romeo High School star lost her scholarship after the 2007-08 season.

Transgender Candidate Who Ran as Woman Did Not Mislead Voters, Court Says

"The Georgia Supreme Court ruled Monday that a transgender politician did not mislead voters by running for office as a woman.

"The court dismissed a lawsuit filed by two opponents of the politician, Michelle Bruce, who was born Michael Bruce, that said she disguised her sex while seeking re-election last year in Riverdale, Ga." "...Gay rights groups celebrated the decision. 'Accusations of fraud only show the accusers’ ignorance of transgender lives,' said Cole Thaler, a lawyer with Lambda Legal, a gay rights organization."
