The s is hosting its March & Demonstration for the Right to Marry.  The event will be held on Friday; February 12th and begins at the County Clerk’s office (201 Caroline St.) and then proceeds to City Hall where a rally will be held until 3:30pm.

The Foundation for Family and Marriage Equality is the Houston social justice organization committed to equality for families headed by GLBTQ couples. These families do not receive the same legal protections for themselves and their children as do other families. Their efforts culminate each year during National Freedom to Marry Week. They organize demonstrations, educational seminars, and Texas' largest same-sex wedding celebration! All of their events receive state and national attention, showing real people in real relationships that are honored by friends, families, communities, and their many diverse faith traditions. Our government does not recognize our relationships or our rights. The group plan to continue their efforts until all GLBTQ people are allowed to love freely, protect their families, and share the same civil rights, protections and dignity afforded by marriage. more

This Way Out: It's been 17 years since "Don't Ask Don't Tell," the U.S. ban on service by open gays and lesbians, was enacted by Congress and signed into law by President Bill Clinton. As a result, more than 13,500 "outed" service members have been discharged -- including "mission critical" personnel such as Arabic language specialists. President Barack Obama has consistently criticized the policy, and he renewed his vow to end it in his State of the Union address last week. Despite the Administration's previous pledges, new testimony from Pentagon officials to the SENATE ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEE on February 2nd was the most tangible sign of action (includes excerpts from statements by DEFENSE SECRETARY ROBERT GATES and JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF CHAIRMAN ADMIRAL MICHAEL MULLEN, comments by REPUBLICAN SENATORS JOHN McCAIN and SAXBY CHAMBLISS, and an exchange between SENATOR JOE LIEBERMAN and COMMITTEE CHAIR SENATOR CARL LEVIN about how many votes would be required for repeal; the Family Research Council's PETER SPRIGG opposes repeal and calls for homosexuality to again be criminalized during a joust with the host of MSNBC's "Hardball with CHRIS MATTHEWS"; and highly-decorated 19-year Air Force pilot/Iraq War veteran LT. COLONEL VICTOR FEHRENBACH, whose discharge under the policy is pending, discusses the hearing with MSNBC's RACHEL MADDOW) more

JD Doyle: I can hardly believe it, but this is my tenth anniversary show. I wanted to make it special and I don't think I could have done any better than to bring you an interview with Holly Near. If you know anything at all about the Women's Music Movement, then you know that Holly was one of the leading and earliest pioneers. And this show will just scratch the surface regarding her long career, a career that encompasses her work as a singer, producer, actor, author, activist and teacher. With such a long career covering so many aspects I decided I would just try to cover a number of her songs, and to let them take us through the years and tell the story. I'm delighted to share this with you. more
