Being Liberal and a Progressive in a RED STATE is not an easy thing these days. I started this blog to vent my frustrations on our lives being taken over by right wing conservatives with their propaganda machines. I have also learned an important lesson in the last year, it is that reading is the only way to get real information, you cannot depend on the news you see on TV.

From our Government : Don't use the Words "GAY" -- "LESBIAN"

This is ridiculous:

the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration wants the words ``gay,'' ``lesbian,'' ``bisexual'' and ``transgender'' pulled from the program of a federally funded conference on suicide prevention.

At issue is a conference on suicide prevention to be held Feb. 28 in Portland and organized by the Suicide Prevention Resource Center of Newton, Mass., a SAMHSA contractor. On the program is a talk that, until recently, was titled ``Suicide Prevention Among Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual/Trans- gender Individuals.''
