by Crystal Alburger The president's memo of April 15th is certainly cause for celebration, but what does it really mean for the LGBT community? The memo didn't create a new law, taking immediate effect, which grants gays and lesbians the same automatic right to visit their partners that spouses enjoy in all hospitals. But it's a barometer of his concern for LGBT Americans and his commitment to correcting the injustices we face.

We keep pointing at the inequality that exists between us, and trying to change minds without being as brutal and hateful as those who oppose us. I doubt we ever could be. I don't think that my circle of gay friends even have it in them to mirror the mindset of the people who apparently hate and fear us more than anything else. Submitted by Suzanne Magee

Post from New America Media Editor's Note: Last weekend Jorge Steven Lopez Mercado, a 19-year-old gay teen was found decapitated, partially burned, and mutilated and left by the side of a road in Puerto Rico. Gay activists were outraged when the police officer in charge of the investigation said, “Someone like that, who does those kind of things, and goes out in public, knows full well that this might happen to him.” Youth Outlook asked young people their reaction to the brutal murder. Here is what they said.

President Barack Obama just signed a hate crimes bill that would cover lesbians, gays and transgender people. Now, says NAM contributor Anthony Woods, the time has come to end the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy, which allows gays to serve in the military-as long as they are not out. Woods is native of California, a graduate of West Point and Harvard, and a veteran of two tours in Iraq.

The Laramie Project is a play constructed around the beating death of Matthew Shepard, a young gay man who had been living in Laramie Wyoming. It is Matthew's death that helped to inspire the expansion of the federal hate crimes law to include sexual orientation, gender, gender identity and disability under a measure approved October 8 by the US House by a vote of 281-146. Here is a review of the Laramie Project by Byron Edgington.
