		<description><![CDATA[In the post I wrote yesterday, I discussed recent comments Gordon had made regarding the Tiverton High School GSA and also mentioned how other officials and the school&#8217;s superintendent had publicly voiced their disapproval of his remarks and support for the group.  The growing chorus of responses to his comments is a very good thing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tomorrow is the Day of Silence.  It is an annual day of action started by GLSEN in which students and teachers at schools across the country plan protests, events and take a day-long vow of silence to represent the bullying and silencing of LGBTQ youth. Obviously the necessity of a day like this personally resonates [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Very happy to see the news that Congressman Jim Langevin has officially changed his position on Marriage Equality. Having supported Civil Unions in the past, he now recognizes that so-called &#8220;separate but equal&#8221; laws just don&#8217;t cut it. He is calling on Rhode Island&#8217;s General Assembly to pass the legislation that has recently been introduced. [...]]]></description>

According to the Providence Journal: The drive to legalize gay marriage in Rhode Island will begin anew on Thursday, with the re-introduction in the House of a bill to allow for same-sex nuptials. In a brief interview on Wednesday, Rep. Arthur Handy, D-Cranston, said he had already lined up 27 [...]]]></description>

Our elected officials have finally pushed hard enough to kill this awful, discriminatory and life-ruining policy!  And this is a clear victory in the ongoing battle for a cultural shift that favors equality for queer people in our country. I know that you can read about this in a million [...]]]></description>

The protest was well attended and beautifully planned/designed.  There was no yelling or signs and although I understand how powerful large people in groups with anger can be&#8230; this was totally different.   Everyone was there because of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s not a secret that Governor Donald Carcieri is a first-class AssHat.  He&#8217;s earned that title several times over, but his latest veto is extra extra on the douchenozzle, even for him. Towleroad sums it up the best: If you&#8217;re gay and you die in Rhode Island your domestic partner won&#8217;t be able to make [...]]]></description>
