I don’t know what’s more disturbing. The ranting of this bigot or that no one called her out. She should have been ejected from the train. Watch:

Stephanie Chu who shot the video said the following on SFIst:

I filmed this on a MUNI T train this morning on my way to work. I found it appalling that this woman would be so hateful towards a gay/transgender person – so I had no qualms about putting her face on the Internet. At one point, it got physical. The train was held up for about 10 minutes until she calmed down, then the cops came to take their statements. I thought it might be interesting to share how intolerance is still very much alive, even in liberal cities like SF.

Apparently, she works at a hospital (she wore scrubs) off of the T line, I am guessing UCSF Mission Bay.

Anyone know who this lovely person is? Apparently she was wearing a lanyard that said “I love Jesus.” Boy, what a surprise.

The Senate Armed Services Committee has agreed to hold hearings on Don’t Ask, Don’ Tell (DADT) this fall thanks to a commitment secured by Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) who is trying to overturn the policy. The agreement comes on the heels of an amendment floated by Sen. Gillibrand two weeks ago which would have placed a temporary moratorium on discharges under DADT. The amendment was never introduced as Gillibrand failed to gather the 60 votes necessary for passage.

This will be first time Congress has evaluated the policy since it was enacted in 1993 under President Clinton. There are also efforts to overturn the DADT in the House under the leadership of Rep. Patrick Murphy (D-PA), an Iraq war veteran.

Over 20 gay and straight kissers rallied near a Mormon temple in San Diego late yesterday, showing their support for a Utah gay couple who were cited and detained for trespassing after kissing on LDS property. From the Fox affiliate in San Diego:

This is the third kiss-in in as many weeks, and appears to have inspired a movement which is now going national, with kiss-ins tentatively planned in the following cities:

The movement is being spearheaded by bloggers David Badash and David Mailloux.

Gen Silent is a new documentary film by director Stu Maddox which explores the lives of LGBT seniors who after years of fighting for equality, are forced back into the closet in fear of the rampant discrimination in our healthcare/long-term care system. In the film a group called the LGBT Aging Project hopes to change that, because when LGBT seniors hide their sexuality, they become afraid to ask for help, and die before their time. Trailer for the film below:

LGBT seniors are one the most overlooked and neglected segments of our community. Hopefully this film will make some progress in changing that. To find out more or get involved with the project visit: http://GenSilent.com/
