LGBT

Just in time for the end of Pride Month (except in Eugene, but that's another story) ...

Best. Stupidity. Ever.

One News Now replaces the "Gay" in Tyson Gay's name with "Homosexual."

(You, know, the Tyson Gay who almost sort of wind-aided broke a world record?)

As in, "Homosexual eases into 100 final at Olympic Trials" and

Tyson Homosexual easily won his semifinal for the 100 meters at the U.S. Olympic track and field trials and seemed to save something for the final later Sunday.

Cannot stop laughing.

Plz to read original post.

By the way, not that there's anything wrong with that.

Go to the Torrey section to see where he compares trans high school students to Kip Kinkel! What. The. Fuck?

It's early moments in Basic Rights Oregon's LGBT candidate forum. Mayor Kitty Piercy, former mayor/mayoral candidate Jim Torrey and county commission candidate Rob Handy are on hand. There are cookies and juice, no coffee, which bothered someone.

Wait now ... someone is up there saying it's BRES, Basic Rights Eugene Springfield, not BRO. Does that mean in Portland it's BRP? Or BRB in Beaverton and Bend? Little confused here. (Also, BRES? Is that pronounced, like, brez? Or breeze? Or bressssss?)

Fundraiser coming up at the Broadway for pro-LGBT candidates. Now Todd Simmons (source of many stories for me and the communications director for OSU) talks about Equality PAC, which vets candidates for state races normally. First time it's gotten involved in local races. Endorsements based on "leadership and incumbency, as well as viability, electability in races like this."

Applause at news Equality PAC has endorsed Kitty Piercy already; new endorsements of Andrea Ortiz, Betty Taylor and George Brown. Will make endorsement in north Lane County commissioner race as well. Note: Bobby Green? A no-show so far.

Each candidate will speak for 5 mins, then a 15-min group Q&A though Piercy and Torrey need to get someplace else. Becky Flynn will keep time.
