The Battlefield and the Barracks: Two War Fronts for Women Soldiers, H. Patricia Hynes, Truthout
"The crisis is so severe that I'm telling women to simply not join the military because it's completely unsafe and puts them at risk. Until something changes at the top, no woman should join the military." --Veteran April Fitzsimmons, victim of sexual assault

Anti-gay parents' league presents demands to Anoka-Hennepin schools, Maria Elena Baca, Minneapolis (MN) Star Tribune
The group wants Anoka-Hennepin (MN) 9school district) to assist students of "moral conviction" and to offer information on overcoming "sexual disorders."

  • Don’t be surprised if the “religious freedom” argument finds its way into conservative arguments about “big government” in 2012. It’s not just for the religious right anymore.
  • Protest against Cardinal George Gay Rights-KKK Comparison planned
  • Catholic bishops assault health and religious freedom

Protest against Cardinal George Gay Rights-KKK Comparison planned, Kate Sosin, Windy City (Chicago, IL) Times
