What We’re Reading
June 21, 2010
Happy Monday, readers!
After the weekend, there was a lot of news to catch up on. Here’s some Monday morning miscellany for your reading pleasure:
- The two largest American Jewish LGBT organizations Keshet and Jewish Mosaic announced a merger over the weekend.
- CNN’s special “Gay in America” is set to air on Thursday night. Unlike previous specials “Black in America” and “Latino in America,” “Gay in America” is going to be a series of 1 hour specials. Thursday’s focuses on activists Gary Spino and Tony Brown as they use a surrogate to have a child.
- After Missouri Representative Ike Skelton criticized DADT repeal last week, a gay soldier from Missouri who is currently serving in Iraq wrote a very moving letter rebuking him and asking for an apology.
- Karen Ocamb checked in with David Boies after the closing arguments in the Prop 8 trial.
- Defense Secretary Robert Gates threatened yesterday that President Obama might veto the Defense Authorization bill (including the attached DADT repeal) if certain spending is attached when it gets through the Senate next month.
