A federal appeals judge found this week in a bias complaint that federal and Oregon bans on same-sex marriages violate the U.S. Constitution.

Harry Pregerson, a judge with the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, made the declarations in deciding that the federal government had discriminated against Portland lawyer Alison "Tex" Clark based on her sexual orientation.

WASHINGTON -- A bi-partisan group of Senate and House members today introduced the fully inclusive Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), which would prohibit most employers across the country from discriminating against LGBT workers.

In the Senate, the bill was introduced by Senators Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), Tammy Baldwin (D-Wisc.), Mark Kirk (R-Ill.), and Susan Collins (R-Maine).

In the House of Representatives, the bill was introduced by Representatives Jared Polis (D-Colo.) and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.), and joined by more than 100 co-sponsors.

On April 25, 1993, I stood on the main stage, fatigued beyond words and in utter amazement at the ocean of people spread across the D.C. Mall for the March on Washington for Lesbian, Gay, and Bi Equal Rights and Liberation.

The D.C. police estimated that there were between 800,000 and more than 1 million attendees. (The park police's estimate was so ridiculously off that they became the butt of editorial cartoons and shortly thereafter stopped issuing any official estimates for events.)

PORTLAND, Ore. – John Paulk, the poster boy for the so-called “ex-gay movement” for a decade, has issued “A Formal Public Apology by John Paulk” and renounced conversion therapy.

Paulk founded the Love Won Out ministry through the anti-gay group Focus on Family, appeared on countless television shows and conducted numerous interviews touting that he was converted into a heterosexual man through prayer and “ex-gay therapy.”

He married an “ex-lesbian,” Anne, and they became parents of three children.
