Wasting No Time, Hawaii Challenges Trump’s Travel Ban Rules
Wasting No Time, Hawaii Challenges Trump’s Travel Ban Rules
Wasting no time, the Attorney General of the State of Hawaii has challenged Trump’s cruel and rigid guidance on family relationships implementing the 90-day Muslim travel ban. Hawaii, joined by former Solicitor General, current partner at Hogan Lovells, and professor at Georgetown University Law Center, Neal Katyal, argue that Trump violated the Court’s order when it arbitrarily excluded certain family members from being able to come into the country.
As we discussed earlier, Trump is allowed to implement his travel ban against “foreign nationals abroad who have no connection to the United States at all.” He is not allowed to stop those with “a credible claim of a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States.” That’s from the Supreme Court’s order.
But Trump decided to change the distinction between “bona fide relationship” and “no connection” to “super close family” and “not close enough.” He decided, among other things, that fiancés, grandparents, grandchildren, brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins of Americans are not allowed in. It is, however, hard to square the Court’s decision to apply the travel ban only to those with zero connections to the United States with the Administration’s decision to apply it to many people with family already here.
Hawaii agrees.
In its motion, Hawaii asks for a court order clarifying the Supreme Court’s ruling. Specifically, it wants a court to make clear to whom the travel ban can apply and to whom it can’t. Right now, Trump’s guidance seems inconsistent with the plain language of the Supreme Court’s order.
The Hawaii District Court has given no indication that it plans to issue a quick decision. The judge has asked for briefing by Monday (from the government) and a response from Hawaii (by Thursday). That means the Administration will get a chance to implement its travel ban before the court issues its clarifying order. Stay tuned.

Texas Supreme Court rules to undermine marriage equality, take away spousal benefits for LGBTQ couples
Texas Supreme Court rules to undermine marriage equality, take away spousal benefits for LGBTQ couples
Pidgeon v Turner case is a red flag to LGBTQ Americans that fight to protect marriage equality is evolving in age of Trump Administration
NEW YORK – Sarah Kate Ellis, President and CEO of GLAAD – the world’s largest LGBTQ media advocacy organization, released the following statement after the Texas Supreme Court issued a decision for the Pidgeon v. Turner court case this morning which could now begin the process to undercut marriage equality by erasing spousal benefits, including health care benefits, for legally married LGBTQ couples in the state of Texas. The Court ruled that there is not a de facto right to government benefits for married gay and lesbian couples.
“The Texas Supreme Court’s decision this morning is a warning shot to all LGBTQ Americans that the war on marriage equality is ever-evolving, and anti-LGBTQ activists will do anything possible to discriminate against our families. In the age of the Trump Administration, which continues to systematically erase LGBTQ Americans from the fabric of this nation, the LGBTQ community and our allies must remain visible and push back harder than ever against attacks on acceptance.”

*Working Towards a Better World
It is now our generation’s task to carry on what those pioneers began. For our journey is not complete until our wives, our mothers and daughters can earn a living equal to their efforts. Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law – for if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well.
Barack Obama
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Sandy Rios: ‘Sordid’ Gay Men Denied Dignity By Pro-LGBT Christians – LISTEN
Sandy Rios: ‘Sordid’ Gay Men Denied Dignity By Pro-LGBT Christians – LISTEN
The American Family Association’s Sandy Rios has taken a swing at pro-LGBT religious folk because gay men are losing the opportunity to leave behind their “sordid” lifestyles.
Rios, who has called the murder of Matthew Shepard a “complete fraud,” explained that the true nature of gay relationships is “cleaned-up” by positive representations of LGBT couples on “HGTV, as though they’re a married couple, the same as a heterosexual couple, and that is just not true.”
Rios, who in 2015 suggested that a gay Amtrak engineer’s sexuality was “a factor” in a fatal crash, helpfully added that “sex between two men is not the same as sex between a man and a woman.”

“You know, the process that God has created is a physical thing that physically completes one person with another,” she said, “it is the way we are constructed, and anything other than that does not do that.”
In a wildly meandering piece, Rios voiced concern that kids are exposed to nasty gay stuff “as soon as they step foot into a public school” before segueing to a bizarre story about a formerly pro-LGBT woman who changed her evil ways after seeing “the physical abuse of gay men to each other, in ways I can’t even describe, the sickening things that they did to one another.”
She eventually got to the point, stating that her cold, dead heart goes out to “men and women who are caught in the throes of [homosexuality], who are really losing their opportunity to shake loose of it.”
“Some church leaders,” she croaked, “have really gone weak in the knees on this, and shame on them because people are dying because we will not speak the truth.”
