Okay, so this is longer than usual. In fact, it’s longer than I intended— a lot longer—but it’s the last live chat group show for the year. And about halfway through or so a special guest (Nigel!) joins us.
There was no particular topic for this show, and we talked about a lot of different things—some serious, some not. It was just a bunch of people having a conversation. The group this week included Steven in Wisconsin, Larken and Brother Cinaedus (unfortunately, Skype dropped him about halfway through).

I wasn’t quite ready to record a studio podcast earlier this week (or last week), so here’s one now. After talking about what’s been going on, I get into comments and emails that have sort of piled up recently.
A new 2Political is coming in a day or so.
Special note: This week’s Live podcast has been cancelled. There won’t be one next week, either (Thanksgiving Day in the US), so the live show will return in TWO weeks (December 3, 2009).

Recorded live and presented unedited (be warned): Joining me for today’s Live Chat on Pride48.com were regular panellists Steven in Wisconsin and LurryDean, as well as Larken.
After thirty-one defeats in a row, and despite a narrow win in Washington State, radical religious extremists have been emboldened by their victory in Maine and are marching on in their campaign to deny GLBT people ALL civil and human rights, not just the right to marry. How do we fight back—and win? Sure, we have to wage mighty grassroots campaigns, but how do we fight a lie? How do we take on scaremongering? How do we defeat the radical religious extremists without coming across like we think all religion or religious people are our enemies? How do we put an end to the nonsense of people being able to vote on who is and who is not an equal citizen? What do we need to do right now to turn the tide?
Toward the end of today’s episode we talk about all sort of things, some of it related to today’s topic, most of it not. That’s the point of a group show, after all.
Posting of the recorded version of this episode was delayed by my heavy work commitments.
Join us on for the next live podcast on Pride48.com for a lively, wide-ranging discussion. The next live chat starts at 8pm Eastern North American time on Thursday, November 12 (2pm Friday, November 13 New Zealand time). You can also join other listeners in the chatroom, where you can ask questions or make comments as the show is streamed.

Even after skipping last week’s live show, I wasn’t sure I’d be able do one this week. I did! LurryDean and Steven in Wisconsin joined me for a general chat. We started out talking about family—the ones we’re born into and the ones we make. Then we talk a little bit about the National Equality March, and even about criticism that President Obama isn’t doing enough for GLBT people. After that, we talk about a number of things, including famous podcasting celebrity, Big Fatty. We give him material for the openings of many episodes of his show.
Clarification: President Bill Clinton appointed James Hormel as ambassador to Luxemburg, but that appointment was blocked by now-dead US Senator Jesse Helms (R-NC), so Clinton appointed Hormel while Congress was in recess. President George W. Bush appointed Michael Guest as ambassador to Romania, but his sexual orientation didn’t become public until after the Senate had confirmed him. Afterward, he was attached by rigthwingers, including some in Romania, and his tenure ended after only two years, though the Bush State Department claimed that had been the plan all along. So: David Huebner stands to be the first openly-gay person nominated as Ambassador and then confirmed by the US Senate. Add it all up, and it would make Huebner, in effect, the first openly-gay US Ambassador, though I realise that to some people that may be a technicality.
The next AmeriNZ Live group show podcast is Thursday, 15 October at 8pm North America time, 1pm Friday, 16 October in New Zealand on Pride48.com (and I be much better organised next week…)
The next 2Political Podcast will be released early next week on 2political.com, where you can subscribe through iTunes or directly to the feed.
