Digesting the gay rights disaster | News Story on 365gay.com

- Not one piece of gay-friendly legislation will budge in Congress. Of course, barely one piece of gay-friendly legislation (hate crimes) budged during the past two years, either, despite big Democratic advantages in both chambers.Depending on whom you read, DADT repeal is either dead for the upcoming lame duck session or at best on the kind of life support that depends on the kindness of Republicans in the Senate.
- If DADT repeal dies, Obama will act. Disgusted with himself as much as with the intransigence of the reactionaries on Capitol Hill, he will either. . . "

Gay Marriage Foes Boosted By Minn. GOP Takeover - wcco.com
Gay Marriage Foes Boosted By Minn. GOP Takeover - wcco.comGay rights activists in Minnesota thought 2012 would be the year they could finally make a serious push for same sex marriage in the state, but a surprise Republican takeover of the Legislature has them back on the defensive instead.
Tom Prichard, president of the Minnesota Family Council, said Thursday his group will push for a statewide vote in 2012 to ban gay marriage and civil unions in Minnesota's Constitution. Previous efforts to do so in 2004, 2005 and 2006 met a firewall in the strongly Democratic state Senate, but that liberal majority crumbled in Tuesday night's elections.

ABC News: Focus on the Family Accuses Gay Rights Groups of Hidden Agenda

The same groups, it says, lobby for gays and other minority groups to be specifically mentioned in anti-bullying legislation and try to depict Christians opposed to such treatment as bigots."
