It is my second appearance! This one is chock full of fireworks, trust me! I was beat up on good… and gave back just as hard!!
The Political Panel is in the last third of the program. (click on the top one of the list)
Same Sex Sunday begins with an interview of Congressmen Jim McDermott (D-WA). We discuss the holdup of the Employment Non Discrimination Act (ENDA) in the House, Citizens United, how to end the war in Afghanistan and much more.
Phil Reese and I also interview David Fleischer about his new study that, “changed everything we know about Proposition 8.”
The American Federation for Equal Rights is funding Perry vs Schwarzenegger for the Plaintiffs. Spokesperson Yusef Robb shares an exclusive update about the case after last week’s historic federal court ruling overturning Proposition 8.
And finally, the Same Sex Sunday round table returns when Courage Campaign‘s Rick Jacobs, journalist and LGBT POV blogger Karen Ocamb, California grassroots activist Sara Beth Brooks, Metro Weekly Senior Political Writer Chris Geidner, and GayPatriot.net blogger Bruce Carroll, debate and analyze the historic week.

Why Baghdad Jim?
Wait, who compared the Ca. kerfuffle to Scopes? And why couldn’t you respond to the vag going on about your “acrobatics” or whatever?
Wow! It was a civil discussion. Why can’t conversations go like this with SSM activists in the real world?
The connection between labor and LGBT groups was discussed. Do the rank and file members of the union actually support SSM or is this a case of the labor leadership using dues to work against its’ members beliefs? If so, why aren’t the members angry about such a use of money?
Has anyone seen any polls about this potential discrepancy?
No mention of Unite Here’s corrupt and criminal background. No mention of their “pink sheeting”. Do we really want to be associated with these thugs? Really?
One logistical note (relative to comment #2) — due to time constraints I couldn’t come back at Chris Geidner for the “acrobatics” comments. I had already eaten up a lot of the time at that moment.
I got him back in the chat room we were using at the time. 🙂
Bruce, you indeed DID get back at Chris in chat! You two were at it like Turkish mudwrestlers. Let’s just say, Joe and I think we’ll be having you two on together more often.
Chris H: SameSexSunday is the real world! I live in rural Illinois and grew up in Michigan, and Joe grew up in Iowa and lives in Seattle. We’re not East Coasters, we’re real Americans from flyover country, that just know how to see issues from many angles. If you like our civil discussions, then we definitely urge you to subscribe and tell your friends!
