Yesterday, Diane Rheem’s show discussed the Obama Administration and gay rights. If you missed the show, I highly recommend you take a moment to listen to it when you have an opportunity. Diane’s guests included Human Rights Campaign President, Joe Solmones, Director of the Office of Personnel Management, John Berry, and the Senior Pastor of the Hope Christian Church in Beltsvelle, MD, Harry Jackson.
The show began with John Berry claiming that we must recognize the memorandum outlining benefits available to domestic partners of federal civil service employees as “one step” in the process for equality. It’s become obvious that the administration is attempting to mitigate the damages caused to the Democratic party by the DOMA memo.

A few nights ago, honey Christopher and I were sitting on the couch enjoying some evening television and saw the trailer, we both laughed and Christopher started pulling up clips of “Bruno” from previous Cohen shows. We watched several clips, all of which made us “LOL.”
