As the race tightens over Minnesota’s marriage inequality amendment, supporters of marriage equality have released a new ad that cuts across political and religious lines.

"Pro-family" and Tea Party-aligned groups in Nebraska are doing their best to do away with any LGBT non-discrimination ordinances that are passed in the state, Aksarbent reports:

Iowa City's own outspoken gay marriage activist Zach Wahls joins the Hawkeyes for the "Yes on Retention" campaign for this year. The campaign is to support retention of four Iowa Supreme Court judges that are up this year for the decision.

A lawsuit seeking to overturn Minnesota's current law against gay marriage is back before a Hennepin County judge who dismissed it months ago.

This weekend, Tony Perkins and his gay-bashing Family Research Council (FRC) are hosting the annual Values Voter Summit, a Washington, D.C., gathering of right-wing religious activists that typically attracts a number of high-ranking, conservative public officials.

Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wisc.) encountered what her supporters say was a “gay-baiting” attack from a senior political adviser to former Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson, her Republican opponent in her race for a seat in the U.S. Senate.

On Sept. 5, one day before Baldwin spoke before the Democratic National Convention on the theme of “heartland values,” Thompson campaign staffer Brian Nemoir circulated a video through email and Twitter showing Baldwin dancing at a gay Pride festival.

Nick Rhoades served time in prison, including six weeks in solitary confinement, lost many of his privacy rights and must register as a sex offender for life.

His crime: not disclosing to a partner with whom he was intimate that he was HIV-positive.

It was 2004, after the Supreme Judicial Court had cleared the way for same-sex couples to obtain marriage licenses in Massachusetts. Governor Mitt Romney remained a roadblock, endorsing a constitutional amendment that would ban it.

State officials say Zach Wahls’ speech at the Democratic National Convention Thursday night places Iowa on the map as a national leader in recognizing equality for those who identify with the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community.
