Newsom for Lt. Governor

The Guys — Sun, 17 Oct 2010 19:39:04 +0000

In past postings, we have supported Newsom for Governor and we were disappointed that he decided to resign from the race. However, we are very happy that he is running for Lt. Governor of CA which enables him to serve as President of the State Senate and the Acting Governor of California in the event that the Governor is absent from the state or is unable to perform the duties of office, or if a vacancy of office occurs. Here is a commercial we are in listening to Mayor Newsom on his plans for California. (You can see the back of our heads anyway)

Ace of Cakes!

The Guys — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 18:34:23 +0000

In one of our favorite magazines, Equally Wed, they recently interviewed Duff from Ace of Cakes!

They asked about the first same-sex wedding cake:

EW: Do you remember your first assignment for a same-sex couple?

DG: The first one we did was a rat on a manhole cover. We don’t care about sexual orientation—it’s not like ‘Oh, yay, we’re making a cake for gay people!’ or ‘Oh. We’re making a cake for gay people.’ We’re just making a cake for people who love each other.

Their cakes are beautiful! We enjoy watching the show and you should too! To see full interview, CLICK HERE

Stanley cup winners, the Chicago Blackhawks will show their Pride on Sunday as Blackhawk Brent Sopel will march with his wife and children in the Chicago Pride parade to honor the late Brendan Burke.

“When Brendan came out, Brian stood by him, and his whole family stood by him, like every family should. We teach our kids about accepting everybody. Tolerate everybody, to understand where everyone is coming from.”

Brendan Burke was an openly Gay athlete and son of the General Manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs who, at the young age of 21, died in an auto accident in Indiana with his friend earlier this year.

Thats our team! Family is your family and you must stand by them and teach each other to love and accept who they are.

Former IL. Senate Candidate, Jacob Meister Launches The Civil Rights Agenda

The Guys — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 18:41:16 +0000

The Civil Rights Agenda will be an educational, non-for-profit based in our hometown Chicago. Jacob Meister, who is a lawyer, wants to educate voters about human rights and non-discrimination. This education will lead to voters electing candidates who will initiate/uphold rights for ALL.

According to Gay Chicago Magazine, “There’s a real shortage of lawyers who will handle these cases,” Meister said. “And most employers don’t realize the breadth of the Illinois Human Rights Act.”

Meister said the Voter Project is aimed at identifying LGBT voters and allies, educating them about candidates and issues and encouraging them to vote.

“To me that’s a labor of love,” Meister said. “It doesn’t matter if they’re Democrats or Republicans. It’s about making people aware of where candidates stand on the issues and turning people out to vote.”
