Ok Central Valley Queers here is your night to come out and have fun and if your 18 guess what you can come too! Evolution is the only 18 and over gay Saturday night event that happens from Merced to Visalia. With guest Dj So Fresh in the house spinning the music. 
A message from the Lambda Alliance at UC Merced:
Hello loyal members!
Sorry for the lack of meeting last week, I know you were all lost without Lambda on a Friday night, but don’t fret, it was worth it! There are so many projects that we are already planning on, and we will need you to power them so please come to this Friday’s meeting if you want to get on the ball about this.
A few of the new and exciting things you can expect from Lambda in the very near future are:
A Speaker’s Panel;
Creating a coalition with people of faith that will push back the lgbt hostility in religious organizations;
Kickball tournament against the SAFE Club from Merced College,
Megan Wingo is putting together an even better Faces of Us project and she wants 500 people this year so bring your pretty faces and support;
And a series of workshops and “lectures” regurgitating all the information we learned (Bible Boot Camp,non-monosexual caucus, Genetic/Biological aspects vs. Queer theory, Practice in writing Queer Erotica, etc.)As always, general meeting are in COB 288 at 7 pm, but if you want to see us conduct business or just want to hang out with us more, you can come to the officers meeting just before it at 6pm in the same room.
Your Wednesday night party just got hotter with your very own DJ COOKEE in the house come and dance the night away with her and your fellow queers. Remember doors open at 10pm and same great location STARLINE.
This next Saturday Feb. 27th 2010 at 10:00 pm at Starline is EVOLUTION, the only 18 and over gay dance night on a Saturday night in the Merced/Fresno/Visalia area. So come out and have a great night courtesy of Queer Fresno!
Yesterday AMERICAblog organized what they called a ‘blog swarm’ to get HRC to put pressure on the White House to act on DADT. The reason?
We’ve had an amazing few weeks of momentum on DADT repeal following the mention of DADT in the State of the Union, the Senate Armed Services Committee hearing during which both the Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs both stated their support for repeal, and the unexpected support we’ve received from former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Colin Powell and former Defense Secretary and Vice President Dick Cheney.But that momentum is quickly slipping away. After talking to people around Washington over the past two weeks, Joe and I have found a vacuum of leadership that is leading to confusion. The Hill has no idea if the President does or doesn’t want them to move ahead with repeal this year. The House has already said that it’s waiting for the Senate to do something. The Senate is in turmoil after the Democrats lost a single seat in January. And the DADT proposals being discussed in the Senate are focused on every possible approach except full repeal this year. As we painfully learned last year during health care reform, nothing happens in Congress unless the President leads. And when the President doesn’t lead, disaster is guaranteed.
So the politicians have got everyone reason in the world to do something but it being an election year combined with the typical Democratic cowardice no one’s taking charge. Yet instead of poking, prodding and getting lawmakers to act HRC has been giving them political cover.
I find it particularly ironic that bloggers are using one of HRC’s primary tactics – overwhelm the target with phone calls and e-mails calling for x, y or z – against them instead of directing their energy at lawmakers themselves. I’m doubtful this will get anything done (especially given HRC’s response so far) but it is an interesting development that the lefty, gay blogosphere is starting to flex some muscle in order to move their agenda forward.
