IUI, IVF for lesbians

The sad reality is that despite all the small advances made by gays and lesbians, they are openly discriminated in all walks of life. Homophobia is actually on the rise, largely driven by Republican politics and hatred created by many Christian groups.

The case of Guadalupe "Lupita" Benítez highlights how the name of Jesus Christ can be used by so-called Christians to find an excuse to discriminate. That is exactly what these so-called doctors Christine Brody and Douglas Fenton were doing. They belong to the same category of Christians who supposedly value life but strongly support death penalty. Similarly, they want to protect the institution of marriage but are fighting strongly against gay marriage laws.

The decision by California Supreme Court means that hopefully doctors will stop telling you why you cannot be a mom and do what their job is, that is, to dispense medicine. I wouldn't be surprised if something did not go right because the pharmacists already have the right to deny you your legally prescribed medication because their so-called God tells them not to.

While the last thing on a couple's mind when they are trying to become parents (particularly after 40 when each day matters) is a lawsuit but if you have to do it, it is worth it. Lupita's fight paid off. She is now a happy mom.

Evangelical pastor Christopher Beard is gay

These are difficult times for Evangelical Christians. The more homophobic they become the more they find out that the church has acted like a magnet for homosexuals. It all started with their leader Ted Haggard admitting to be not only a gay but hanging out with prostitutes. The latest reports say that he is undergoing degayfication.

Another bomb was dropped with Mary Cheney's pregnancy and the praise it received from both grandparents Dick and Lynne Cheney and president Bush.

Then yet another pastor Paul Barnes quit admitting to be a closet gay.

The sad news keeps coming. A colleague of Ted Haggard, pastor Christopher Beard, has also admitted to being gay though he did not have sex with Ted Haggard. I think that both of them can do that in hell.

Why making fun of Scientology is acceptable?

TomKat buy new home in England close to the headquarter of Scientology, screams the headline. I see a little bit of jealousy or ridicule here. Why is it a big news if any other Hollywood celebrity buying a home next to a church is not? Why do we single out and make fun of Scientology or Kabbalah while to do the same for any other religion leads to criticism and even violence?

I am not a Scientologist or even religious but I definitely find this hypocrisy disturbing. If Tom Cruise wants to believe it Scientology and do everything possible to promote it I see nothing wrong with it. At least he is not disgusting like Ted Haggard.
