Rush Limbaugh on the booing of Michelle Obama: "The NASCAR crowd doesn't quite understand why when the husband and the wife are going to the same place, the first lady has to take her own Boeing 757 with family and kids and hangers-on four hours earlier than her husband, who will be on his 747. NASCAR people understand that's a little bit of a waste. They understand it's a little bit of uppity-ism."

Hartford trans police officer Dana Peterson still fighting for equality: "Peterson's discrimination lawsuit will come before the state appellate court later this month. The lawsuit alleges that Peterson has been denied the job she wants because she is a transgender person. The city has fought her, as they fought (unsuccessfully) to keep her from joining the force in the early '90s. She's nearing her 20-year mark, and police dogs commonly stay active for as long as eight years. By keeping her from participating in the K-9 handler certfication process, HPD has tried to, as Peterson says, 'run out the clock.'"

New to the UK, on a night out in Soho, brothers Mahad and Yan were exploring what central London's gay scene had to offer. Excitedly, they waited in the frosty night air to get into one of the area's more famous gay venues. 'But after queuing for ages, we were told: ‘Sorry you can't go in,'' says Mahad. 'The guy behind me was let in. He happened to be white,' he adds. Yan says: 'It was obvious they were discriminating because of our skin colour.'"
