On March 19, the Superior Court of California will decide whether to hear my anti-gay workplace discrimination case against Korn/Ferry International, the largest executive recruitment firm in the world. Korn/Ferry is trying to exploit a legal loophole to get my case dismissed. If Korn/Ferry succeeds, a legal precedent will be set allowing businesses headquartered in states where sexual orientation protections do exist to require employees in states without anti-discrimination laws to sign away their workplace protections.

School in Mississippi Cancels Prom to Keep Out Lesbian Couple

MEXICO CITY—(March 4, 2010) Mexico’s capital city handed out its first licenses for same-sex marriage, allowing gay couples not only to marry legally, but also to adopt children and receive government benefits—changes that pit the city’s progressive government against a more conservative country that surrounds it.
The changes were hailed by gay-rights advocates as a major event in Latin America. But they also set a new culture war afoot in Mexico, one of the region’s most conservative countries. The new marriage and adoption laws have drawn fire from many of Mexico’s top names, from conservative President Felipe Calderón, who supports a constitutional challenge to the law, to the Mexican Catholic Cardinal Norberto Rivera, who recently called the law a “violation against children” that “respects neither culture nor nationality.”
Those who registered Thursday may hold weddings as soon as next week, said Leticia Bonifaz, the city’s legal adviser.
The law, passed in December and effective Thursday, applies only to the capital, a city of 10 million. Mexico City follows two other cities that have opened themselves to gay marriage this week.

Ever notice how most of these closeted, anti-gay rights Republicans are hideous? No wonder they are all so self-hating.

Take Action: Illinois Rightwingers Want to Gut LGBT Protections
In 2005, a broad coalition of labor, LGBT, and progressive activists from across the state of Illinois joined together to form “The 85% Coalition” to pressure the legislature to pass an inclusive amendment to the Illinois Human Rights Act [IHRA] to outlaw employment discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. Illinois’ law has been a model for the nation–a sweeping and successfully implemented gender and sexuality-inclusive employment non-discrimination law.
This fall, in fact, Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan testified at the federal hearings on ENDA on Capitol Hill, explaining before our law-makers that the law has been a major benefit for Illinois businesses and workers.
Charges filed with IDHR [Illinois Department of Human Rights] also show that religious institutions have not been impacted by the 2006 Amendments to IHRA. Since the effective date of the 2006 Amendments, only a handful of charges based on sexual orientation have been filed against religious institutions. In FY2009 and so far in FY2010, not a single charge based upon sexual orientation was filed against a religious institution.
Most importantly, a significant number of religious institutions were in support of the 2006 Amendments to IHDA. At the time of the passage of the 2006 Amendments, approximately 87 religious institution, organizations and leaders pledged their public support for the amendments.
However, the far right in Illinois has been irked by this LGBT victory for years, and have been looking at ways to send us back to the closet. They’re getting their chance with Senate Bill 3447 – a bill initially brought by anti-gay GOP gubernatorial candidate, Bill Brady; now championed by another homophobe, John Jones. This is part of a nation-wide strategy to reverse our rights… CHECK OUT THE REST BY CLICKING THE LINK!
