Out gay actor Chad Allen was an eyewitness to the Santa Monica shootings...

Priorities...

The Illinois House, which had been set to approve marriage equality, failed to even vote on the issue today. Why? The 20-member Black Caucus (undecided members included Will Davis, Mary Davis, Mary Flowers, Eddie Jackson, Chuck Jefferson and Andre Thapedi), many of whose members did not see the upside in supporting the bill after facing relentless pressure from black churches, did not have the political guts:

"'For me, there’s really no net gain for me one way or another. I’m hearing equally. Do I philosophically disagree? No, I don’t. But I would like to see absolute protections for churches and religious organizations so they’re not pushed into something they don’t want,' said Rep. Will Davis (D-Homewood). 'For me, [a decision] will literally be when the bill comes up and after I sit and listen.'"

Gutless.
