The Gay Rights Letdown Is Here By Samantha Allen

A new GLAAD poll shows that many Americans thought marriage equality was the pinnacle of LGBT rights. The honeymoon is over. Same-sex marriage was legalized nationwide last year in a landmark Supreme Court ruling but, as we enter 2016, new data from GLAAD shows that line. The hard work of legislative change must go many Americans believe Obergefell v.

She is obsessed with strippers and cites Blac Chyna as “my girl.” Kimora likes to show off her body - particularly her famously enhanced butt.

Leaders in Jacksonville’s business and labor communities are the latest to lend their support to updating the

Leaders in Jacksonville’s business and labor communities are the latest to lend their support to updating the city’s human rights ordinance to protect LGBT residents from discrimination. This morning the Jacksonville Civic Council released a letter stating that passing the #JaxHRO is the organization’s “top priority,” and urging the City Council to make Jacksonville’s economic development its top priority by passing the ordinance. In the letter, the Civic Council outlines its support for the ordinance in three points: “1) The proposed HRO protects the LGBT community from discrimination while preserving individual rights to religious freedom and protecting small business from experiencing an undue burden; 2) It is simple, direct and specific to Jacksonville, having been developed with input from a broad spectrum of local business, civic and faith leaders; and 3) It enhances economic development opportunities by providing consistent antidiscrimination policies between private and public life.” The Civic Council also made clear that not only does the #JaxHRO have the group’s full support, it will join other business development organizations, like the Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce, in “actively lobbying for the initiative throughout the legislative process.” Civic Council Chairman Ed Burr, who has been instrumental in shaping the language of the HRO up to this point, said his organization’s support of comprehensive non-discrimination isn’t just based on the economic impact—it’s simply the right thing to do. “The proposed Human Rights Ordinance will strengthen our economy, attract people and businesses to Jacksonville, and advance a culture of fairness and respect for all. When everyone in our community has an equal right to live and work without fear of discrimination, we all prosper.”

And the Civic Council is not the only group to recently announce that it intends to take a proactive stance toward the #JaxHRO. Last week, the North Florida Central Labor Council (NFCLC), which represents 30,000 members in the greater Jacksonville area, unanimously adopted a resolution supporting the HRO, stating: “Organized labor and the North Florida Central Labor Council have long supported and continue to support legal protections against discrimination for all people.” According to Jacksonville Coalition for Equality President Dan Merkan, it’s not surprising the #JaxHRO would garner so much support from organizations representing important economic interests. A welcoming business climate is important to firms and workers alike, and passing the #JaxHRO ensures that Jacksonville will have one: “Business and labor leaders want to work in communities that will protect their employees, families and customers with dignity and respect, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. By updating the city’s HRO, we are showing the world that Jacksonville is open and welcoming to everyone.”

The Jacksonville Coalition for Equality thanks the Civic Council and NFCLC for lending their strong support to the #JaxHRO. If you’re a local business leader who would like to join our coalition of businesses supporting the #JaxHRO, visit wwwJaxEquality.org to take the pledge.

Approximately 274,000 of the half million women who develop cervical cancer annually will die from the disease, and 85 percent of these deaths will occur in women in the developing world.

NBC Sports Has A Gay Problem By Cyd Zeigler

Whether it's with Olympic coverage or NFL commentary, NBC Sports fails the LGBT community over and over again. It's been apparent for years. When Australian diver Matthew Mitcham won gold in the 10-meter platform in Beijing, stopping a Chinese sweep of diving gold on the final dive of the sport's final event, NBC Sports, the perennial broadcaster in the United States of the Olympic Games, failed to mention Mitcham's partner in the stands despite highlighting the partners of other straight athletes. Even worse, the network failed to mention that Mitcham was the only publicly out gay-male athlete at the Games. When called on it, NBC first argued that the network doesn't discuss sexual orientation (despite the historic nature of Mitcham's win) then offered a terse two-sentence "apology." Eight years later, nothing has changed at NBC. The network failed to identify Dustin Lance Black in the audience of the men's synchro diving finals as bronze-medalist Tom Daley's fiancé. Not boyfriend, not long-time friend... fiancé. And an Oscar-winning fiancé at that (read: public interest). They are, arguably, the "it" couple of the gay community, yet NBC didn't mention a word.

Two years ago in Sochi, all of the NBC networks combined offered less than two hours of coverage of LGBT issues, including the new anti-gay law that had been implemented in Russia, during the 18 days of the Winter Olympics. There were mentions of the plight of Russian LGBT people during primetime coverage by NBC Sports, but according to HRC it diminished over time and was mostly pushed away from NBC Sports and onto MSNBC. According to HRC, during two of the Winter Olympic days -- 14 and 17 -- there was no coverage of the issue on any of NBC's networks. To be clear, this all goes well beyond the Olympics. For the last few years NBC Sports has employed an avowed proud homophobe, Tony Dungy, as one of its lead NFL commentators. Dungy has raised money to oppose equality for gay people, has said he "disagrees" with Jason Collins being gay and, in a fit of hypocrisy, said he would not want openly gay NFL player Michael Sam on his team.

When NBC broadcast the match of Brazilian volleyball player Larissa França, they followed her Of course the network also employs openly gay to the stands where she embraced her wife. NBC commentator Johnny Weir. It's the one possible commentator Chris Marlowe's color commentary? on-air feather in the network's cap. Though Weir's "That is her husband.

NC May Lose NCAA for 6 Years By Michael Fitzgerald

North Carolina could lose up to $250 million after the NCAA said it will not hold events in the state until the anti-transgender HB2 “bathroom bill” is repealed In a letter sent to the state assembly on Monday, Scott Dupree, the executive director notes that HB2 has already cost the state an of the Greater Raleigh Sports Alliance wrote: estimated $630m. “North Carolina is on the brink of losing all NCAA Championship events for six consecutive years, through the spring of 2022. This includes the NCAA Basketball Tournament (“March Madness”) in cities like Greensboro, Raleigh and Charlotte.

On Monday, the newly elected Democratic Governor Roy Cooper (above) – who had his powers severely restricted by Republican lawmakers before entering office – said in a statement “there is no time to waste” to repeal HB2 in order to keep college championship sports in the state.
