Governorship Next For Neil Giuliano

Out and proud former Tempe, AZ mayor and head of GLAAD is now out and about touting his book The Campaign Within with some speculating that Neil Giuliano's political days may be far from over.

Giuliano who is currently head of the San Francisco AIDS Foundation said at a recent event in New York, "What I’m doing now is listening to a lot of folks in Arizona, and there is a need for leadership, especially in the Democratic Party."

"We need other voices in Arizona, so it’s not a definite yet, but I want to see how I can make a different, further contribution."

That's giving some to wonder if he might throw his hat in the ring for Governor sometime or perhaps even Congress which would delight the Rainbow crowd but what about the Mormons and the likes of Sheriff Joe Arpaio, but then he does like pink.

While Giuliano said he's happy to be in San Francisco and with his work with the SF AIDS Foundation, others speculate he may take a look at a run at the US Senate sometime in the future what with R-Senator Jon Kyl retiring and if the Democrats can't win the seat in November. The Demos haven't sent a senator to Washington, DC since 1998.

For now of course this is all "a hope, wish and a prayer" for those in Arizona who have taken a liking to the multi-time elected official but it would be a hoot and then some if an openly gay Governor, Congressman or Senator was elected in the "conservative" Grand Canyon State.

It just might make the ultra-conservatives decide to take a header off the Grand Canyon rim.

Tit For Tat No Perkins ... No Besen

My favorite source for articles found on The Focus On The Rainbow Daily Run web paper, GayStarNews has an article written by Greg Hernandez which discusses anti-gay groups are calling on the lovely Bill O'Reilly not to have Wayne Besen of the group Truth Wins Out on his show anymore.

Shades of past bullies of media as when the LGBT group GLAAD came up with its No-No List and of course the Elites were howling that FRC's Tony Perkins (and others) should not be allowed on CNN and MSNBC programs, and in fact any news media, national or local.

Oh I can hear the outrage, not that I'm going to bother to look, from de gay blades in this latest attempt to censor the media, not because it's censorship but because it's one of theirs.

And that's what it is boys and girls, an attempt at censorship.. apparently tit-for-tat.

The sword it appears cuts both ways, although just like those who call for such things, is dull rather than sharp.

In an email from said anti-gay groups protesting their displeasure regarding the "homosexual agitator", "When Fox News provides a forum to a radical homosexual activist known for employing inflammatory and hateful language in the service of promoting lies, the network becomes complicit in the damage done to the victims of Wayne Besen's and the (Southern Poverty Law Center's) smear campaigns. We ask the News Corporation, Fox News, and Bill O'Reilly to find more ethical spokespersons for the liberal view of sexuality."

I hope FOX News has the balls to tell these twits to perform self-fellatio, not because it's Besen but because it's censorship.

De Homos Call For Survivor Boycott

I came across this diddy when selecting articles for Wednesday's edition of The Focus On The Rainbow Daily Run.

It seems in the upcoming season of Survivor one of those who will be on the show is Jeff Kent the 2000 MVP for the National League when he played for the San Francisco Giants.

The name calling has begun as it appears in 2008 Kent wrote a check for the those supporting Prop 8 to the tune of $15,000.

Also on the show will be former cast member of the sitcom Facts of Life Lisa Whelchel who once wrote on her website, “if a person desires, it is possible to leave behind a homosexual lifestyle. I know this is true because I’ve seen it come true in the lives of many of my friends. Thousands have been helped, loved, and supported by websites such as Exodus [International] and the many ministries they recommend.”

So one can imagine the headline of today will prove true in the coming weeks as GLAAD, HRC and the LGBT Elite will call for a boycott of Survivor as it starts its run next month.

Pity .... there is supposed to be an out lesbian on the show.

God I hope she's better than that piffy poof on last season's show.

So screw any boycott and watch Survivor, I need my CBS stock to keep growing !

Rape Is Rape You Dumbass Bastard

Idiots like Congressman Todd Akin aren't making it any easier for the GOP these days.

Stupid is what stupid does more than applies to this foot in mouth debacle from a GOPer and once again is another attack on women in general and what is their choice in regards to their reproductive innards.

Ya know I gave up the Republican moniker years ago when the GOP was hijacked by the likes of Falwell and Robertson, way before issues and stances of all things LGBT came to the forefront.

Reagan's lack of action regarding AIDS was starting me to jump off the back of the elephant but it was the religious zealots which finally pushed me off.

Actually registering as Independent had for me to be more accurate, I was far too liberal (far beyond moderate for Republican tastes and platforms) and rarely voted straight ticket in any election be they local, state or national.

My economics are still more Republican while most social issues are in line with Democrats plus a dash of Libertarian but no POV of Teabaggers except during sex.

However today, as I have been many times before, I'm embarrassed yet again by some political buffoon, not as a member of a political party, but as an American in general.
