I know it is been a while.  But, I am back and full of more info than ever!

Chicago was fun but more family oriented which is OK, actually better than OK.  We also went to rehoboth Beach for a week and stayed at our friend’s (and Pittsburgh’s Out advertiser) bed and breakfast called the Lighthouse Inn.  www.lighthouseinn.net.  Jerry and Matt were the perfect hosts.  We got to shop, eat at RB’s fabulous restaurants, hang at the beach and much more.  There was even time to visit Randy and Tim at their bar, The Blue Moon.

Check out the following info we used on Talk It Out recently.  You can check out TIO every Monday-Friday at noon on http://www.outonline.com or one of our many other fine shows for our community.

The congratulations are just starting to poor in.

Talk Radio Host Stephanie Miller: “I’m A Gay Woman”
Progressive talk radio host Stephanie Miller came out on her show Satyurday. She prefaced the big announcement with two back to back tweets: “There may be a lot of crying next hour” and “Stick around for the next hour. Mama’s got something to tell you.” Once on the air, she revealed: “I’m a gay woman. I’ve got the gay on me.”Miller, who has been out to her friends and family for years, credited Chely Wright’s recent coming out as inspiration. She joked to the country music star, who joined her on the show after the big reveal, “You get a toaster oven for recruiting me.” Miller’s father was William E. Miller, who was Republican Barry Goldwater’s running mate in his unsuccessful bid for the US presidency in 1964. Goldwater himself famously said about gays serving in the military: “you don’t have to be straight to shoot straight.”Miller says that, despite being a lesbian, she still thinks firemen are “hot.” Then again, who doesn’t? 

American Bar Association Urges All States to Allow Gay MarriageThe American Bar Association approved the following resolution today at its annual meeting in San Francisco:“RESOLVED, That the American Bar Association urges state, territorial, and tribal governments to eliminate all of their legal barriers to civil marriage between two persons of the same sex who are otherwise eligible to marry.”The measure was proposed by the New York State Bar Association, the AP reports: “New York State Bar Association President Stephen P. Younger says the resolution passed overwhelmingly, with only one speaker voicing opposition during debate.”Said Chad Griffin, Board President of the American Foundation for Equal Rights, the plaintiffs in the Prop 8 lawsuit:“With this action, the American Bar Association has affirmed the principles upon which this nation was founded—that every American is vested with certain inalienable rights and that all Americans are created equal. The ABA’s action is significant in that it represents a broad consensus among scholars and practitioners of the law. The ABA is the nation’s leading legal organization and is the one charged with recommending judges and setting national standards for attorneys. This case is not about ideology or politics, and the ABA’s resolution underscores that. Rather, Perry v. Schwarzenegger is a case grounded in fundamental constitutional law and precedent, including equal protection under the law and due process. By approving a resolution in support of marriage equality, the ABA has confirmed what the federal courts, the state’s chief executive and the state’s chief law enforcement officer have determined in Perry v. Schwarzenegger—that excluding gay men and lesbians from marriage violates their constitutional right to due process and equal protection and causes significant harm to them and their families.”
