AfterElton Briefs: Will we love you Phillip Morris? Also, Amanda Lepore and happy birthday Tuc Watkins.

Wow, that Log Cabinette is so deluded and twists a lot of facts. McCain a maverick on gay rights? Sarah Palin commendable for vetoing that bill, conveniently leaving out that she only did it because she believed it was unconstitutional, not because she supports same sex rights.

I'm always turned off by obvious and deliberately manipulative rhetoric like,  "...[that's] why so many gay and lesbian people are Republicans". Are there really "so many"? I've never heard anyone say, "Geez! So many gays are Republicans!" Most often I read/hear the opposite - like in the question, "Can you really be gay and Republican?"

In replying to comments about whether/not Obama's statements responded to the needs of the gay community (marriage, healthcare, etc.) Sammon said, "Every solution he brings up regards government and there are a lot of gay and lesbians who disagree with that agenda." I really need one of the LCRs to explain that statement to me. What other option for an 'agenda' would they suggest for a candidate who's running to be the supreme leader of our government? Perhaps LCRs feel he'd do better for gays and lesbians by adopting an agenda of 'prayer and fasting'? And really, Mr. Sammon - "a lot" of us feel that way? Now I definately wanna see some numbers...

Sammon continued by saying, "They think we should have an aggressive, balanced approach to solving the energy crisis."  Did I just hear that correctly? Well, first of all - what did I hear?

I expected to hear the altenative agenda I asked about in my earlier paragraph, but it seems that there is some complaint from "a lot" of us regarding some kind of 'balance' in solving the energy crisis (whatever that might mean...???).

According to Mr. Sammon, lowering gas prices in a 'balanced' manner is more important to "a lot" of us than our civil rights. I think Mr. Sammon needs to dream a little bigger (...and take a high school speech class). It is possible for a US President to make progress on both issues.

The only intelligent political statement here! Sorry "A pox on both them houses!"

But he is leaning a little towards the right.
