Interesting Quote: Nancy Pelosi


“I would think that if she wanted to be the President of the United States, she would understand that this is a larger issue than whether someone is gay or not, but as to whether someone is harassed and bullied to the point of seeing no way out. Obviously it’s an issue bigger than Michele Bachmann’s district, so maybe we should all be speaking out about it, and not just leaving it to her."

Nancy is speaking to Michele about the gay teen suicides in her district.

Nancy Pelosi Hospitalized


Nancy was hospitalized during her trip in Rome. Here's just a little bit more info:
An Italian news agency says that U.S. House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi was hospitalized briefly in Rome with a minor ailment.


Pelosi, a former House speaker, had been scheduled to hold talks with Italian officials, including the defense minister, but the ANSA news agency said she was briefly hospitalized Monday at Rome's Policlinico and then released.

ANSA said she suffered a minor ailment but did not give any details.
The U.S. Embassy in Rome declined comment. Pelosi's office in Washington repeatedly refused requests Monday for information.

I hope she gets well.

Nancy Pelosi Signs DADT Repeal

Miss Nancy signed the DADT repeal today. With her, were several legislators and gay soldiers watching this great moment.
"Isn't this a joyful day?" she said, adding that the repeal measure will "change the law, improve the policy, make life better for many Americans, and make our country stronger."

Pelosi then asked all in attendance to sing "God Bless America." At the end, Democratic Rep. Barney Frank of Massachusetts, one of the first openly gay House members, could be seen wiping his eyes.

The repeal bill, a campaign promise by Obama, won Senate approval on Saturday in the final days of the lame-duck session.

Obama signs it off tomorrow!
