Commercial Closet: Macy's Shows 'Marriage' to Gays
By Michael Wilke
Just weeks after the California Supreme Court said 'I do' to same-sex marriage, Macy's West division ran full page newspaper ads in San Francisco and Los Angeles geared to gay couples. Although Macy's is the biggest retailer to create same-sex marriage ads and use store windows to celebrate Pride, it isn't the first.

Power in Numbers - The Gay Vote
By Sara Whitman
Two of the most taken for granted votes in the Democratic Party are African-Americans and LGBT folks. I mean, who are we going to vote for? John McCain? Please. The reality, though, is that aside from some lip service along the line that our rights and needs will be addressed, the candidates know they are going to get our vote and drop our issues like a hot potato.

By Duane Wells
Israeli-born former celebrity hair stylist Nir Zilberman came to America in 1981 dreaming of carving a new life for himself. So far, so good.

California Gay Marriage: Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Right?
Op-Ed
By David Salter
It has been two weeks since the California Supreme Court ruled in favor of marriage. And despite a number of Chicken Littles channeling their anxiety through press releases and editorials, the sky is not falling... yet. But I should point out the sheer idiocy of those who would vote for John McCain out of spite should their preferred nominee not prevail in Denver. Cue sky... falling fast.

Hypocrite of the Week: Mark McKinnon, McCain Chief Advertising Strategist
By Duane Wells
Several months ago Mark McKinnon, Sen. John McCain’s chief advertising strategist, announced he would resign his role if Barack Obama became the Democratic Party’s nominee for president. This week, McKinnon stepped down from his post. But because his bold move appeared to be more about political calculation than political courage, Mark McKinnon is the hypocrite of the week.

Who's Got the Fuzzier Math? Clinton or Obama?
By Duane Wells
Sen. Hillary Clinton argues that wins in democratic strongholds and support from core party constituencies give her a stronger electoral advantage over John McCain in November's.

Wedding Bell Blues: How Will Gay Marriage Effect the Election?
Op-Ed
By Libby Post
There was an earthquake in California yesterday. No homes—straight or LGBT—were destroyed. Barriers to inequality, however, were demolished when the Golden State’s Supreme Court struck down the state’s law banning same-sex marriage.

Hypocrites of the Week: Uncommitted Dem. Superdelegates
By Duane Wells
Among the big headlines of the week, calls for Sen. Hillary Clinton to exit the race for the democratic presidential nomination are most prominent. But instead of all the chatter about what it might take to get Hillary Clinton out of the race, more attention should be focused on why the remaining uncommitted democratic superdelegates have made it possible for Clinton to keep her campaign alive.
