The U.S. Department of Justice urged a federal district court judge Thursday not to issue an order that would stop enforcement of the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” (DADT) policy.

The request is yet another instance of the incongruity some LGBT activists see between the Obama administration’s political statements -- that it supports repeal of the federal law which bans gays and lesbians from the military -- and its legal activities -- to defend and preserve that law.

WASHINGTON – Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., says someone on his staff posted the “All Faggots must die” post on the Joe. My. God. blog on Tuesday shortly after Senate Republicans blocked a vote on the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy.

Chambliss, in a statement, said the staffer’s identity has not been confirmed and that he has turned the matter over to the Senate sergeant at arms for investigation. The person who posted the threat and derogatory slur only identified himself as Jimmy.

NEW YORK – Activists angry over AIDS funding and the military’s discriminatory “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy heckled President Barack Obama on Wednesday night at a fundraiser in New York.

Heckling has become a regular occurrence at Obama appearances in public and at fundraisers. He was heckled in April and May during fundraisers in Los Angeles for Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif.

Appearing at the Roosevelt Hotel in midtown Manhattan, Obama was helping the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee to raise $1.4 million for fall campaigns.

WASHINGTON – The Human Rights Campaign today hailed the Florida appeals court’s decision to open up state adoptions to LGB persons.

The ruling came in the case In the Matter of the Adoption of James Doe and John Doe.

The decision upholds the right of Martin Gill and his partner of eight years to adopt two brothers that they have been raising as foster parents for the past six years.

HRC also congratulates and thanks the American Civil Liberties Union for their work in providing representation to Gill and his family.
