The Wrap-Up: November 10, 2011
 |
| Governor Rick Perry (R-TX) |
Some Penn State students rioted last night after Joe Paterno was fired. There is nothing defensible about someone who knowingly enables child molesters, though it sounds like Paterno would fit right in with the Catholic Church.
Basic Rights Oregon has decided to fore-go getting a marriage equality measure on the ballot in 2012.
Here is a look at where the Republican presidential candidates stand on various LGBT issues. Spoiler: it ain't pretty.
Speaking of Republican presidential candidates, there was yet another debate last night. Surprising no one, Perry bombed...again. Oops!

| Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-VT) |
The ACLU intends to make sure Utah schools get the memo that banning same-sex couples is unconstitutional.
I'll believe it when I really see it, but it seems as if the Congressional Super-Committee Republicans may be budging from a "no tax-hike" position.
The four openly gay members of Congress made an "It Gets Better" video in which they talk about their coming out experiences.
Deadbeat dad Congressman Joe Walsh (R-IL) took time out of his busy child-support dodging schedule to berate constituents for blaming the banks for the housing market collapse. The surprising part of this is that it was reported on FNC.

| David Testo |
TVGuide schooled conservative groups like the Parents Television Council over their trump-up outrage because of Tuesday's "Glee" episode.
The Senate Judiciary Committee has voted to repeal DoMA. That's the good news. The bad news is that its chances of getting through the full Senate are not good.
It's finally happened. A pro-athlete (David Testo) in an American league (Major League Soccer) came out as gay. As to whether he is professionally active, that's a bit complicated.

The Wrap-Up: November 9, 2011
A lot was covered in this morning's election post so this will be a shorter Wrap-Up.
 |
| Governor Scott Walker (R-WI) |
Michigan's House Republicans may not be as shamelessly heartless as their Senate counterparts, but only time will tell.
Now that the anti-collective bargaining measure was overturned in Ohio, the effort to recall Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker seems to have gotten a boost. He had a similar measure pass in his state.
By the end of this month, Basic Rights Oregon will decide whether or not it attempt to put marriage equality on the ballot for 2012 or 2014.
A rugby player is claiming a back-flip accident made him gay. Unfortunately (and ironically), it wasn't David Pocock.

| Grover Norquist |
Secretary of State Hilary Clinton has appointed Ellen DeGeneres as the global HIV/AIDS envoy.
There seems to be a growing chorus of Republican voices who want out of Grover Norquist's anti-tax pledge.
The nation's youngest openly gay mayor was elected yesterday. Meanwhile, I actually met someone from that town this very morning. Small world.
