Forrester resume misleads :: WRAL.com

We just blogged on this guy, and now it seems that Senator Forrester is not only misrepresenting facts about the LGBTQ community to the public and on his resume, but has also lied on his website and campaign webpage that he is: a Fellow of the American College of Preventative Medicine (Michael Barry, the executive director of the American College of Preventive Medicine, says Forrester is not and has never been a Fellow of the College), a member of the American Medical Association (an AMA spokesperson says Forrester is not currently a member of the group), and also an Associate Fellow of the Aerospace Medical Association (but his name does not appear on the associate fellows' list at that organization's website.)

So, not only does this elected official of the people misrepresent himself to his constituents and the public, but he also appears to be a pathological liar. No wonder he couldn't answer gay advocate Michael Signorile’s questions (see previous blog.)

What's more amazing is how long he has been able to keep up his self-made credentials, but that the Republican party and some of the public support him in his recent proposition to place the anti-gay ballot initiative before the people in North Carolina. But, as this discovery (thanks to blogger Scott Rose, a contributor to the GLBT blog Pam’s House Blend) should seriously affect the upcoming ballot vote...or at least it should. We'll see how much he's managed to buffalo his campaing workers and constituents. In the end, it always comes down to this: What Goes Around, Comes Around!

I'm glad that the word is getting out from such prominent people that bullying will no longer be tolerated anywhere, anytime from anybody! Keep pushing America, we can make a change and stop teenage suicides and punish those who torment and are responsible for letting the torment happen. That includes parents, school administrators, teachers, friends, and anybody else. Accountability is not a word people seem to understand these days and the "X-Gen" has little understanding of the word. It's time the court system made them learn what it means!

It's Time That California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger "Won't Be Back"

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed three gay-friendly bills between 24 and 30 September, according to the Pink Paper Magazine.

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed three gay-friendly bills between Sept. 24 and 30 September. PinkPaper.com can report.

The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Prisoner Safety Act was designed to prevent violence in the state prison system by requiring the state to adopt national LGBT prisoner safety guidelines.
"Transgender people are 13 times more likely to be sexually assaulted in prison than non-transgender inmates," said Masen Davis, executive director of the Transgender Law Center. "The National Prisoner Rape Elimination Commission Standards are well-researched, practical and promising. It is shameful that implementation of these standards has been further delayed."

The bill also would have required the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation not to automatically segregate LGBT inmates and would have protected LGBT inmates from having to disclose their sexual orientation or gender identify to prison officials.

Schwarzenegger's veto message said: "This bill would require the sexual orientation and gender identity of an inmate or ward, among other risk factors, to be considered as part of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation's inmate and ward classification and housing assignment procedures. ... This measure is unnecessary because CDCR already considers these factors when determining where to house inmates."   More...
