23 Anti-Gay House Republicans Want Obama to Let Them Delay Certification of ‘DADT’ Repeal

A group of 23 House Republicans, led by Rep. Duncan Hunter (pictured), who last month tried to impede repeal of the military’s gay ban by adding several anti-gay amendments to a Defense appropriations bill, now want special review of "pending legislative matters of policy and law" related to the measure before it is certified.

Basically, since the amendments to the Defense bill did not work in delaying the ban from being repealed (the Senate did not adopt similar amendments) they are trying to find other ways. Anything they can do to stop gays from serving openly.

The Washington Blade reports:

Under the repeal law signed in December, “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” won’t be off the books until the president, the defense secretary and the chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff certify the U.S. military is ready for open service. Training has been underway in the armed forces since February to prepare the military for “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” repeal.  Gates recently said training has gone very well, and if law is signed by the end of this month, gays could serve openly as soon as September.

Do you know what a glitter bomb is?  Glitter bomb is the dumping of glitter on a person, usually anti-gay political figure.  The following video shows the glitter bombing of Tim Pawlenty, GOP presidential hopeful in San Francisco.  Mr Pawlenty was glitter-bombed by a protester with Code Pink, who shouted:

"Where’s your courage to stand for gay rights and women’s reproductive rights, Tim Pawlenty? Welcome to San Francisco. Home of gay hero Harvey Milk!"

The protester was then escorted away by security.

Newt Gingrich Hit by Glitter Attack from Gay Protester

At a book-signing May, a gay activist poured a bucket of glitter over Newt Gingrich and his wife as they sat at a table at a Minnesota Family Council event, ABC News reports:

Said Nick Espinosa during the glitter bomb: "Feel the rainbow Newt.   Stop the hate.   Stop the anti-gay politics. It’s dividing our country and it’s not fixing the economy."

Said Newt after the attack. "Nice to live in a free country."

As Espinosa was kicked out, Newt’s security said: "So goes you, goes the rotting of our country. Have you ever seen us attend one of your events? Have we disturbed your events? Never. Peace be with you."

Iran Enforces Ban on Necklaces, ‘Glamorous Hairstyles’ on Men

The fashion police are out in force in Iran, the Guardian reports:

Thousands of special forces have been deployed in Tehran’s streets, participating in the regime’s "moral security plan" in which loose-fitting headscarves, tight overcoats and shortened trousers that expose skin will not be tolerated for women, while men are warned against glamorous hairstyles and wearing a necklace.

The new plan comes shortly after the Iranian parliament proposed a bill to criminalize dog ownership, on the grounds that it "poses a cultural problem, a blind imitation of the vulgar culture of the west".

The Irna state news agency said the trend was aimed at combating "the western cultural invasion" with help from more than 70,000 trained forces, known as "moral police", who are sent out to the streets in the capital and other cities.

The ponytail and the mullet are particularly offensive, the paper notes.
