New video blog! Flaming Politics with Japhy Grant

New to Visible Vote 08 (a litter-mate of AfterElton.com), Japhy Grant's Flaming Politics is an opinionated and independent look at the gay political landscape. And if that's not tempting your tummy, try this: Things blow up. Yay!

This week: Where has the Governor of Florida been spending his time? The answer will surprise you. Plus, how you can get a job in Washington, why "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" don't help enlistment and what the chances are of an international conference on gay rights.

Please join us in offering a warm AfterElton.com welcome to Japhy, and check out the vlog after the break!

I hope for outreach

After these last 7 years of hatred and attacks, it would be great to see a government that would care about ALL citizens. I can only hope that our voices will be heard, but I doubt that we will see much progress toward legal equality regardless of who the next president is.

Politicians refuse to acknowledge that homophobia is a branch of sexism. Until they realise that it is not a good idea to legislate gender roles, we will not make any progress.

Japhy good, Japhy a bit too fast!

I was very interested in this vlog but I could barely keep up with the words in my mind. Here's a plea just to slow down a bit!

Ok, it's was a little fast!  But that's how we need it!  Fast and furious, we need the details and the perspective ASAP, otherwise we'd waste time!

Charlie Crist is gayer than Anderson Cooper's sock drawer!

 Don't expect ANYTHING from the Obama administration re the LBGT community except for more walking insults like Rick Warren.

 

Oh and you forgot Dubbya's biggest outreach (or is it reach-around?) the the gay community -- putting a male hustler in the White House.
