Clinton and Obama Speak Out on Uganda's "Kill the Gays" Bill

Today at the National Prayer Breakfast, both Clinton and Obama condemned the Ugandan legislation:

CLINTON: And I recently called President Museveni, whom I have known through the Prayer Breakfast, and expressed the strongest concerns about a law being considered in the parliament of Uganda.

OBAMA: We may disagree about gay marriage, but surely we can agree that it is unconscionable to target gays and lesbians for who they are, whether it’s here in the United States or as Hillary mentioned, more extremely in odious laws that are being proposed most recently in Uganda

Miami Beach Cops Caught in Anti-Gay Behavior

Two Miami Beach police officers are facing charges after wrongfully arresting Harold Strickland. Strickland claims he was arrested last March after he witnessed two officers beating and kicking a handcuffed man as he laid on the ground in Flamingo Park. While on the phone with 911, officers Frankly Forte and Elliot Hazzi were kicking the unnamed suspect "like his head was a football," Strickland told the operator.

After being spotted by the officers on the phone, the officers came after Strickland and made him hang up. Then the officers started calling Strickland yelling anti-gay epithets at him and arrested him.

"We know what you're doing here. We're sick of all the f***ing fags in the neighborhood," the officers told him.

Strickland was charged with loitering and prowling. Miami Beach police have not commented on the lawsuit. (source)

Keith Olberman examined John McCain's statements on Don't Ask, Don't Tell over the past few years. In 2006, McCain said this: "The day that the leadership of the military comes to me and says: 'Senator we ought to change the policy', then I think we ought to consider seriously changing it - because those leaders of the military are the ones we give the responsibility to."

Well, now the generals are telling him to change the policy, but McCain doesn't seem to care. Check it out.
