DEBUT! (The Log Jam) "Minority Outreach" !
Nancy Reagan serves drinks at Chicago's premiere gay conservative bar, the Log Jam, in a new web series: The Log Jam follows three lonelyhearts as they search for reasonable, fiscally responsible same-sex romance. Arnold is an unemployed former Blackwater contractor looking for Mr. Hard Right. Betsy is an investment banker/power lesbian hell-bent on getting the GOP to eventually come around to recognizing her choice of lovers. Phil is a powerful CEO with a passion for Family Values at odds with his lust for exotic fetish play.

It's WAR: Log Cabin Republicans Rip Bradley Manning's Lawyers for Using the Gay Card!
Cooper, Executive Director of the Log Cabin Republicans, takes Wikileaks soldier Bradley Manning's lawyers to task in the Stars & Stripes military newspaper:If
he’s guilty, Manning not only violated security protocol and the
Uniform Code of Military Justice, he violated the trust of his
colleagues, the Army and his countrymen. Now that he prepares to stand
trial, he has shown himself to be willing to sacrifice honorable gay and
lesbian servicemembers to avoid responsibility. Lawyers for Manning are
claiming that his struggle with his sexual orientation contributed to
emotional problems that should have precluded him from working in a
classified environment. This shameful defense is an offense to the tens
of thousands of gay servicemembers who served honorably under “don’t
ask, don’t tell.” We all served under the same law, with the same
challenges and struggles. We did not commit treason because of it.
Log Cabin Republicans have long advocated that one’s sexual orientation should not be grounds for discrimination or dismissal in the workplace. As conservatives, we believe in the meritocracy of one’s labor. Good behavior and excellent performance come with reward and encouragement. Bad behavior and poor performance come with punishment and corrective measures. To justify misbehavior in the workplace because of minority status is detrimental to the morale and performance of others. For Manning’s legal counsel at Fort Meade, Md., to suggest that his orientation and/or gender identity be part of a defense or excuse for misbehavior is as unacceptable as the use of a “gay panic” defense by a murderer.

Breaking News: 9th Circuit Halts DADT Enforcement!
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Servicemembers United, the nation's largest organization of gay and lesbian troops and veterans, today enthusiastically applauded the order issued by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals lifting its own stay of a lower court's injunction barring enforcement of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" law. This move once again renders "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" unenforceable by the Pentagon.
"With the wait for certification dragging out beyond a reasonable time frame, the Court has once again stepped in to require the Pentagon to stop enforcing 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell,' and this time it very well may be for good," said Alexander Nicholson, Executive Director of Servicemembers United and the sole veteran plaintiff on the case. "I am proud to have worked personally worked with Log Cabin on this case for more than five years now and to have represented the gay military community as the sole named veteran on this lawsuit. Despite the criticisms and years of waiting, this case has yet again successfully eviscerated this outdated, harmful, and discriminatory law."
