WAY TO GO NEVADA!!!

The Nevada Senate is doing the right thing!!

Sack of shit Governor Jim Gibbons' veto on the domestic partnership bill we posted on last week may be overturned!!

The Nevada Senate has voted 14-7 to override it. If passed, this bill will offer registered heterosexual and same-sex domestic partners the same rights as married couples.

"The vote on Senate Bill 283 came following a dramatic speech by state Sen. Dennis Nolan, R-Las Vegas, who said he had received many vulgar and even threatening calls from people who demanded that he vote against the bill. Those kinds of calls do not mesh with 'the Christian beliefs I was brought up with,' Nolan said. He added that the bill does not at all undermine the 2002 voter-approved constitutional amendment that defines marriage as between a man and a woman. 'We have an obligation to ensure equal rights to all our citizens,' Nolan said. 'I believe in my heart that I am doing the right thing,' Nolan and state Sen. Dean Rhoads, R-Tuscarora, who both voted against the bill when it was passed April 21 on a 12-9 Senate vote, then joined the 12 original supporters to override Gibbons' veto by the required two-thirds margin, " covers the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

The Nevada Assembly has the bill in its hands; to pass, it needs two-thirds of the majority vote to override the veto.

Good luck.

UPDATE 6.01.09:

The Nevada Assembly passed the bill:

The Las Vegas Sun details:

In what supporters are calling a historic moment, the Assembly on Sunday night overrode the veto of Gov. Jim Gibbons on a bill giving legal rights to domestic partners. Tod Story, a member of the board of the Gay and Lesbian Community Center of Southern Nevada, said "Nevadans can stand proud." Story said Nevada has become the 17th state to recognize the relationships of gay and lesbian couples under state law. The law takes effect Oct. 1. The vote Sunday night was 28-14, the bare minimum needed to overturn the decision of the governor. It follows the 14-7 vote in the Senate Saturday and puts the bill into law.

RAFA OUT

By the looks of it, did Rafa realize he was doomed??

All my men are out of the French Open.

I always root for our #1-- Nole Cakes; then if Nole is ever knocked out, Rafa Cakes is our second. Now since Rafa was knocked out--who gives a fuck!!!

Rafael Nadal took a turn for the worst today. He was beaten by the Swede Robin Soderling:

2-6, 7-6 (7-2), 4-6, 6-7 (2-7).

Well **sniff and cry**... for now... Rafa and Nole need to look onward and forward to Wimbledon.

Ahhh FUCK OFF!!

NOVAK DJOKOVIC KNOCKED OUT

Nole Cakes (#4) was defeated by #29 Phillipp Kohlschreiber of Germany: 6-4, 6-4, 6-4.

So Nole is OUT of the French Open!!

We still love you Nole.

PRACTICE/PRACTICE/PRACTICE....

Onward to Wimbledon!!

RAFAEL NADAL VOGUES

When I was perusing my new issue of VOGUE (June 2009), I nearly fell off my fashion throne seeing the images and an accompanying article on Rafael Nadal (Rafa Cakes, affectionately called around here).

I know, I know, it can get get confusing...we have three main cakes at LA*SURFPUNK: Nole Cakes (Novak 'Nole' Djokovic), Rafa Cakes (Rafael 'Rafa' Nadal) and Matty Cakes ( Matthew Mc-Gone-A-Gay). And why cakes? Because these MENSES are SO DAMN SWEET to look at!!!

Back to the point:

Everyone knows how tight AnnER is with Roger, even being a guest in his box during matches and conversing with the fiance -turned- Mrs. Federer.

How refreshing to see AnnER generously move Federer aside and allow last year's Wimbledon winner some of the spotlight with a spread in VOGUE.

Kudos.... NOW if I can have a word with you about the COVER!!!

AGAIN: THE MANY REASONS WHY WE HATE JAY LENO

This is a repeated post.

SOME OF THE MANY REASONS WHY WE ARE GLAD LENO IS LEAVING THE TONIGHT SHOW-- TOO BAD HE WASN'T FIRED!!

WE WISH YOU WERE LEAVING TELEVISION AND THE HUMAN RACE PERMANENTLY!!!

Why don't you take one of those nasty cars you collect and drive off a FUCKING cliff you HOMOPHOBE.

Jay Leno ALWAYS uses homophobia in his monologues!!

JAY LENO IS THE USED WATER IN THE TOILET FROM AN ENEMA

JAY LENO---YECK!!!!!!

THE LOSER IS TRYING TO MAKE NICE...

1st and foremost let's not forget this SCUMBAG crossed the picket line and went back to work during the writer's strike along with that Jimmy Kimmel ASSWIPE...his show never came to an agreement with the WGA before airing new eps....

So HE IS A SCUMBAG to begin with....

2nd ...HE IS SO OVER and NEVER FUNNY, HIS WRITERS ARE MODERATELY FUNNY --WHICH IS THE WHOLE MONO--BUT NOT HIMSELF!!!!! HE RELIES CONSTANTLY AND ALMOST NIGHTLY ON HOMOPHOBIC HUMOR FOR LAUGHS DURING HIS MONOLOGUE!!!

3rd: In April (2008) the UNFUNNY "comic" teased Ryan Phillippe for playing a gay teen on the soap One Life To Live and asking the actor to give him his best "gay face" on the show.

Ryan being a CLASS ACT, declined.

Again all of the UNFUNNY ONE's humor is HOMOPHOBIC JOKES!!!!!

Editor's note: This was last year at an event (2008):

NOW THE IDIOT shows up to attend Wednesday's "Vow To Vote No" commitment ceremony benefiting Matthew Shepard's "Erase Hate" campaign.

NEWS TO YOU--SCUMBAG: WE DON'T WANT YOU THERE, WE DON'T NEED TO BE SUPPORTED BY SCUM LIKE YOU!!!!!!

And he left soon after the event...not hanging around to mingle. SCARED MUCH????

CAN'T SAY IT ENOUGH: A LOSER UNFUNNY SCUM!!!!!!

And.. it looks like TR Knight is kind of put out and put off by him.

Leno is SUCH A FAKE trying to make the picture look as if he is engaging in small talk with Knight!!!!!

I am sure, TR wants him no where near him.

Leno's face is scary enough in addition to hisHOMOPHOBIC VIBE!!!!!!!

ECK!!! JAY LENO---YOU ARE CREEPY!!!!!!!!

200+ PROTEST OUTSIDE BEVERLY HILTON

As we posted this morning, a protest was in order outside the Beverly Hilton tonight during a DNC fundraising dinner that the President would be attending. The reason for the protest is Obama's inaction on LGBT issues and to use the moment to protest on the heels of the CA. Supreme Courts issue on supporting Prop H8TE.

The Los Angeles Times reports:

Although organizers called the event a “welcome” for Obama, many in the crowd of 200 expressed anger that the president has not moved to repeal the federal defense of marriage act and the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy toward gay service members.

During the protest, the crowd chanted, “Out of the court, into the streets, we are ready to fight, we won’t be beat.” It was a reference to Tuesday’s state Supreme Court decision to uphold Proposition 8, which bans same-sex marriage.

The President never made an official statement on acknowledging the protest: I am sure his handlers briefed him on the situation outside the hotel and what it was for.

GAVIN NEWSOM ALWAYS DOES THE RIGHT THING

San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom quickly returned a $25,000 dollar check given to his California gubernatorial campaign by Rockstar Energy scion, Russell Weiner.

Weiner is the son of homophobic and vitriolic radio host Mike Savage aka as Mike Weiner.

Newsom knew the bad press wasn't worth any amount of cash from this homophobic family. Russell Weiner also has set up a group called the Paul Revere Society which promotes the deportation of illegal immigrants and supports straight marriages.

Newsom was the first mayor to start granting same-sex licenses in San Francisco so gay couples could marry in the Golden State and basically started this whole political wildfire that has spread nation wide. So since he was the first to grant us marriage rights--why would he want funds from the homo hating Weiner family?!!! Right, right.

ROB THOMAS SUPPORTS US

This blog has posted before how Rob Thomas is a big supporter of marriage equality and an outspoken mouthpiece for our gay rights.

We LOVE Rob, thanks for coming forward!!

"Since we clearly have a separation of church and state, how could a conversation about laws have anything to do with religion at all? I'm writing about basic civil rights. We've been here before, fighting for the rights of African Americans or women to vote, or the rights of Jewish Americans to worship as they see fit. And, just as whites fought for African Americans or Christians for Jewish Americans, straight people must stand up and be a voice for gay people. … A civil union has to do with death. It's essentially a document that gives you lower taxes and the right to let your faux spouse collect your insurance when you pass away. A marriage is about life. It's about a commitment. And this argument is about allowing people to have the right to make that commitment, even if it doesn't make sense to you. Anything else falls under the category of 'separate but equal' and we know how that works out." —Singer Rob Thomas [HuffPo]

PROTEST AT TONIGHT'S OBAMA DINNER IN BEVERLY HILLS

The man who stood for change during his campaign pledge as a pre President nominee has kept quiet during his first 5 months of his Presidential tenure on LGBT issues.

And the White House kept silent on yesterday's ruling by the California Supreme Court to support Prop H8TE.

The President will face demonstrators at tonight's fundraiser for the Democratic Party at the Beverly Hilton.

The group: Courage Campaign will schedule the protest outside of the hotel at Santa Monica and Wilshire.

Courage Campaign group promises to: "Let's take this opportunity, just one day after the CA Supreme Court makes its decision on Proposition 8, to show our President our support for his daring promise to our community and to highlight the growing movement towards FULL FEDERAL EQUALITY."

Other attendees of the demonstration outside will be Lt. Dan Choi, who was expelled out of the military under "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" and other LGBT servicemembers of the military. The goal for these individuals and what they want to happen from tonight's protest: "They will ask for response from President Obama to the letter signed by 136,000 people asking the president not to fire Lt. Choi by ending DADT."

MEDIA REACTION TO CA. SUPREME COURT TO SUPPORT PROP H8TE

The New York Times: California High Court Upholds Gay Marriage Ban.

Tim Rutten The Los Angeles Times opines: "Legal precedents notwithstanding -- and the six clearly nervous justices who made up the majority in this case reached all the way back to the state Constitution of 1849 for those -- Tuesday's decision was intellectually and morally incoherent. It essentially tells Californians that a right as fundamental as the ability to choose the marital partner of your choice is a kind of judicial lottery ticket -- if you got in early, you win, but those who arrived a few days late lose. Sorry."

Blogger Rex Wockner reports: Between 5,000 and 10,000 march in San Diego. "Among the marchers was Lisa Sanders, Republican Mayor Jerry Sanders' openly lesbian daughter. Both spoke at the march's end at the Hall of Justice downtown. .......Lisa Sanders. 'I'm very saddened today that the Supreme Court did not overturn Prop 8. However, I am here with all of you and I know that we will get full equality. We will all be treated equally because we're all family and we're here today to fight for our rights.'

The Dallas Voice reports that 100 came out to march.

Our gay brothers and sisters were kind enough to hold rallies up North (Canada) for us, thank you:

HOLLYWOOD REACTS TO CA. SUPREME COURT TO SUPPORT PROP H8TE

George Takei reacts: "I am confident that if we go through this again, we will ultimately prevail and our [State] Supreme Court will go into the dust of history. What the Supreme Court did essentially was maintain an inequality…Only a year ago, they declared that marriage equality is a fundamental, constitutional right that extends to gays and lesbians, and now they say it isn't."

Wanda Sykes quips: "I'm deeply disappointed, but also very optimistic that we will return to the polls and restore marriage equality for same-sex couples."

Elton Johns states: That's just awful. I mean when you see places like Iowa saying yes and there's now five states [in favour] in America…and California is supposed to be a progressive state it just defies logic to me and I’m very disappointed with that."

Singer Melissa Etheridge opines: "So, will anyone be sleeping better tonight? Those full of hate and fear will surely be disappointed that 18,000 same sex couples will be living in wedded bliss, kissing their spouses goodnight, checking off those little ' married ' boxes on all those forms we fill out nowadays. That’s really going to drive them crazy. Then there are those of us like me who still dangle in ' domestic partnership. ' We can adopt our own children, but we can’t bring our partners who might be citizens from out of the country, here. We can’t file joint tax returns. I could go on. Who will be happy tonight? How do I explain this to my children? Well, you know Ellen? She is married but Mommy and I are not. That is liberty and justice for all? I am hopeful as I see more and more states turn to the inevitable future of equality, California will get there. Change takes time. "

Reichen Lehmkuhl reacts: This is yet another sad day for our state and our country, on which we’ll look back in shame, forever. I held some hope that today’s CA Supreme Court ruling would NOT uphold the discriminatory amendment known as Proposition 8, denying equal marriage rights to the LGBT community of our great state. I believe that Proposition 8 was born from misinformation, mis-education, and, ultimately, fear. My hope was that we would at least maintain our current 18,000 California LGBT marriages of love and commitment, which we did. I fear this ruling will delay the positive political momentum shown nationally in recent months, toward the non-discrimination of our LGBT citizens. However, overall we continue to make steady progress, which I find reassuring. I believe in the good nature of Californians and Americans, in general, to find it unacceptable to recognize two classes of citizens. I know that, eventually, everyone will see the light, understand that this issue is about equality for all, and that we will do the right thing to accept, love, and support each other in all forms of equal rights.

Republican California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger pontificates on where Prop H8TE's future will go on late night talker:

FRENEMIES--THE DUO MADE UP

The Cut reports that oaf Keifer Sutherland and darling Jack McCollough settled their dispute and each party has issued a joint statement.

The night of the Costume Institute Ball at an after hour party, Sutherland allegedly headbutted designer McCollough breaking his nose.

Sutherland's attorney issued a statement that the actor apologized to the Proenza Schouler designer and McCollough accepted.

Charges could be dropped at Sutherland's next court hearing on June 22 ;if the charges are not, a third degree assault charge is comparable to a speeding ticket.
