zizzy Yesterday 3:14 PM Even Costa Ricans on the margins of society backed Chinchilla. Heizel Arias, a 24-year-old single mother voted at a prison where she is serving an eight-year drug smuggling sentence. "I voted for Laura Chinchilla because she has promised to fight for women," Arias said. "She was the only one who visited us and told us her plans and I believe in her."

POPSSmoke The Bigots Out Of The Closet "Those opposing same-sex marriage are just as eager to mask their bigotry." Oh, how very true. Many times here on CM, I have seen other's voice opinions that gay people ought to keep their relationships private--translation--in the closet. And that is where they want us to keep it because as more and more people do come out, it is harder for the thinking public to discriminate. Imagine if heterosexuals had to keep their relationships secret --and as more of them do realize that is wrong to demand that of homosexuals--society finally grows, changes, and becomes more tolerant of those who are simply born different.

POPSBlackpool Conservatives accused, more
Hang Ron Bell by all means, but hang him fairly. Is he being hung out to dry because the local Con… (sorry I cannot bring myself to write it because they have emasculated the metaphor) the Blue Party anticipate the gay and lesbian vote to be so mobilised that the majority will have to settle for whomever they vote for? Put up multiple scaffolds for the rest of the miscreants who abuse privilege. And abuse privilege they do. From whomever thinks they have the right to delete public opinion, to those who misappropriate public funds by excessive claims for First Class travel etcetera, they demean the fight for civil rights that continues even after four hundred years of struggle. From members of Parliament down to and including local councillors, all forget that they are public servants, are not above the law as the Westminster 4 now claim, and have a moral duty to act and perform accordingly. If this means they have to develop integrity, so be it. So should reporting and criticism. The

POPSRepublican Candiates for Iowa Governor on Gay Marriage How far out of touch can you be. One is saying he will veto every bill, including the budget, until the legislature delivers him an amendment to the state constitution banning gay marriage. Another suggests that the Governor can overrule the State Supreme Court with an executive order. Now there's respect for a co-equal branch of the government, init?

POPSGay Couples Not Monogamous I'm shocked! Shocked! We actually are redefining marriage, and that's ok. We do not have to be locked into the institutions of the past/present. Slavery was once an acceptable institution and acting as if your wife was your property was once acceptable. We can and do change and our institutions change. Institutions were created for people, not the other way around.

POPS‘Gay’ Gene Theory Suddenly Vanishes When Sally Kern, an Oklahoma lawmaker, vocally rejected the homosexual lifestyle, she was inundated with tens of thousands of e-mails in a coordinated attack on her beliefs. Some of the e-mails threatened her. Christians and others who believe the Bible is God's word are now condemned as "homophobe" But now the so called "scientific evidence" people are born gay is still just an unproven theory.
