ABOUT THIS DIRECTORY |
|
|
|
This Directory provides links to LGBTQ owned and friendly business and services. As you
browse through the directory remember to support business that
respect you and your family.
|
|
|
|
Opponents of
LGBTQ equality believe they are morally superior to gay and
lesbian families and our supporters. And they have the
backing of the Bush administration whose campaign was financed
by large corporations like Wal-Mart (see the Boycott page for
a complete list of companies who supported Bush).
|
|
|
|
Instead
of spending money at these and other straight-owned enterprises, why not
spend your hard-earned dollars supporting businesses that support you
and your family? |
|
|
|

directory and our classifieds to purchase products or services

Ridiculously Lame Excuse No. 5,234
Given By Democrats For Why Gays Must Wait For Basic Legal
Equality |
|
Chris Crane |
|
12/15/08. A civil unions bill pending for almost two years
gets tanked, and we're to believe it's not because the
Democrats are shafting us by prioritizing pretty much
everything over our civil rights. Oh no. It's because on the
last week of the (year-round!) legislative
session, the governor got arrested. |

Illinois Governor Blagojevich's
Shenanigans Stalls Civil Unions |
|
Queerty |
|
12/12/08. As if you need another reason to hate Gov. Rod
Blagojevich. The Illinois Governor accused of trying to sell
Obama's Senate seat to the highest bidder (among a host of
other corruption charges) has left the Illinois legislature
in disarray, effectively destroying any hope of the state
passing the Illinois Religious Freedom and Civil Unions Act. |

Legislation to allow civil unions for same-sex couples in
Illinois appears to have little chance of coming to a vote
as the state grapples with the scandal that has enveloped
Illinois over Gov. Blagojevich. |

Emma Ruby-Sachs |
|
10/10/08.
There was a public hearing last night on whether an LGBT
high school should be created in Chicago. As of today, the
Chicago Schools CEO, Arne Duncan, is behind the move, but
the LGBT community is deeply divided. |
