Gay Americans should fear McCain's impact on the Supreme Court
By

JOHN MCCAIN IS certainly not perfect on gay issues. Even though the senator has been ordained a “maverick,” which occasionally places him at odds with the religious right, gay voters should maintain a healthy skepticism concerning the Arizona senator.
McCain's reputation as a maverick is well deserved when considering the response by conservatives to his status as the Republican presidential nominee. Ann Coulter lambasted McCain as a traitor to conservatives, so much so that she would campaign for Hillary Clinton if he were nominated. Rush Limbaugh has also weighed in on McCain by declaring that his nomination would destroy the Republican Party. And James Dob ...

WHEN IS IT OK to tell a gay joke? Consider three scenarios:
First scenario: In a magazine interview, a person says: "The one thing I always say that I really, really mean is I should have had a gay son. [My child] doesn't care that Ann Miller can tap without shoes. Doesn't care! This breaks my heart. I've put on the Sirius show-tunes channel in the car and [she] gets upset with me. This is not right!"
Second scenario: In a meeting with an important client, a senior partner in a law firm tells a joke in which he makes light of gay men's attachment to feminine things. The joke ends with the punchline, “Faggot!”

IT IS A rare privilege to meet a person whose life has had a profound effect on the shaping of history. Last May, our organization's founder, Mitchell Gold, along with myself and another colleague, were offered that opportunity as we spent a warm and breezy afternoon with Mildred Loving.
Our visit preceded a celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision in Loving v. Virginia. Faith in America sponsored the event and organized it along with Freedom to Marry and numerous other civil rights advocacy groups.
As a young black and Native American woman, Mildred married Richard Loving, a white man, in the District of Columbia because interracial m ...
