A couple of weeks ago we alerted you to a dangerous election bill that crept up in the final days of session. Many of you took swift action, thousands of e-mails were sent to House and Senate leadership as well as the governor. Great news- the bill has been defeated. Leadership declared the bill dead when there was widespread public outcry over this broad reaching bill. I wanted to let you know a little more about this bill and why Equality Florida was involved in defeating it.

Oh, the 2010 election is SO on. Former Speaker of the Florida House, Marco Rubio (R- Miami), announced today he will run for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Republican Mel Martinez. This will make for an interesting race with tough primaries for both parties. It is widely speculated Governor Charlie Crist will also be jumping in. Crist has high popularity ratings and will be a formidable opponent. Read the story here

...Had a really lovely segment on a lesbian couple getting married this afternoon in Iowa. Hugh Jackman was a guest today and was also very vocal about his support for gay marriage during the segment, and fantastic Nate Barkus, Oprah's decorator-in-chief, also discussed being gay, wanting the right to marry and coming out. Will post video if we can find it.

"Hate crimes have no place in my community or anywhere else, but they are an unfortunate reality that must be addressed..." Watch Rep. Kathy Castor's impassioned speech from yesterday's debate on the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crime Prevention Act.

April 29th was a banner day for the LGBT community. The House of Representatives passed the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act for the second time with a vote of 249-175. The debate yesterday was a bit of an emotional roller coaster, offering hours of toxic falsehoods spewed by some members and heroic, poignant, and inspirational words by others. In recent weeks, Florida Reps. Debbie Wasserman Schults (Fl - 20) cosponsored the bill and was joined by Robert Wexler (Fl - 19) as both fought passionately about the need for passage.
