Jim Stork, former gay mayor of Wilton Manors has some strong words for several different groups of people.
Amy Sherman, a Miami Herald reporter, wrote about Stork’s failed 2004 Congressional campaign followed by a $30,000 election fine.
In the Herald’s Naked Politics blog, Sherman wrote about Stork’s involvement in the Florida Red and Blue campaign which failed to defeat Amendment 2 which banned gay marriage in the Constitution. Stork emailed Sherman and said, “I have no more tolerance for those who voted for Amendment 2 or those who want to take my rights away … which includes dumb rednecks, bible thumping white folks, bible thumping Hispanics, self-centered educated people who are so self absorbed that they don’t bother to look into an issue, lazy gay people who don’t get involved or are too weak to come out of the closet, and am now most disappointed in African Americans who should be the least likely group of folks to judge others, but are the ones who judge others the most … all of these folks can kiss my a–.”

Gay rights groups are angry crying “censorship” after RAI, Italian state television, deleted a gay sex scene in a tent and a gay kissing scene from Ang Lee’s Brokeback Mountain featuring Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal.
Activists argue that RAI TV would have kept the scene had it involved a heterosexual couple.
After politicians met to discuss the incident, RAI claimed the cut was accidental. Gay rights advocate and former lawmaker, Vladimir Luxuria insists it was not just a mere oversight and that it was intentional censorship.

A Monroe Circuit Court judge has ruled Florida’s 31-year-old gay adoption ban unconstitutional in an order that allows an openly gay Key West foster parent to adopt a teenage boy he has raised since 2001.

A Monroe Circuit Court judge has ruled Florida’s 31-year-old gay adoption ban unconstitutional in an order that allows an openly gay Key West foster parent to adopt a teenage boy he has raised since 2001.
Declaring the adoption to be in the boy’s “best interest”, circuit judge David J Audlin Jr, said the Florida law forbidding gays and lesbians from adopting children is contrary to the state constitution because it singles out a group for punishment.
Wednesday, December 10th, was “Day Without a Gay.”

Wednesday, December 10th, was “Day Without a Gay.”
The day was invented to show the nation how much gays and lesbians contribute to their communities and the importance of their existence in society. People were encouraged to “call in gay” to work and spend the day volunteering and refraining from spending money.
The boycott was to protest against California’s recent passing of Proposition 8 which prohibits gay marriage.
Several non-profit organizations posted volunteer opportunities on the website of Sean Hetherington and boyfriend Aaron Hartzler, creators of Day Without a Gay.
Some activists were hesitant to participate in the boycott due to the current economic situation, job market and the uncertainty that sparks thoughts that the effort may be counterproductive for the gay community.
Additionally, calling in gay may have been difficult for those who may not be openly gay to coworkers or employers.

As of the last count, 3,535 children await adoption in Florida’s state custody.
However, the attorney general’s office recently made sure to tighten the belt on a law that prohibits GAY adoption.
At the same time that this is posing discrimination against gays, it is also adding to the obstacles that these foster children will face in hopes of finding a home.
This law is NOT SAVING these children from anything. Judge Cindy Lederman summarized 30 years of research in the following statement: “Based on the evidence presented from experts from all over this country and abroad, it is clear that sexual orientation is not a predictor of a person’s ability to parent.
Sexual orientation NO more leads to psychiatric disorders, alcohol and substance abuse, relationship instability, a slower life expectancy or sexual disorders than race, gender, social-economic class or any other demographic characteristic.” Way to add to an overwhelming problem.
