The witching hour is upon us. I’m not talking about Halloween, but the event that occurs just 48 hours later — Election Day. With mere days to go, the political map has nearly 100 Democratic seats in play, with the Republican Party poised to retake the House of Representatives, according to most pundits and prognosticators.To my LGBT family, sorry to say this, but “I told you so.” While some groups have said that we need to be patient with this White House and this Congress, time is quickly running out.To my Republican brothers and sisters, it is time to start talking about what we stand for. It is no longer OK to only be against everything.Weeks ago, Larry Sabato of the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics, forecasted that the House would flip to the GOP after Nov. 2. He went further by saying that the Senate could see a 50-50 split.Back in January on these pages, I asked, “Wha

In a move that closes the gap between two White House administrations, numerous government agencies and a year-old act of Congress, the Department of Health and Human Services has issued regulations that would end the United States' decades-old HIV travel and immigration ban. Originally authorized as part of President Bush's PEPFAR legislation - thanks, in large part, to the heroic efforts of Senator John Kerry, Congresswoman Barbara Lee and former Senator Gordon Smith - repeal of the ban took a giant leap forward this week with publication of the HHS regulations and a promise from President Obama that his administration is committed to seeing the ban rescinded soon.
Rachel B. Tiven, executive director of Immigration Equality, which played a leading role in the repeal effort called the proposed regulations "the penultimate step" toward ending the ban, noting in Newsday that

This issue hits LGBT Foreign Service families particularly hard. Like their straight colleagues, many LGBT Foreign Service officers find the loves of their lives while serving their country overseas. And thus begins the difficult path of constantly choosing between their family and serving their country. Most end up serving only overseas, to the detriment of their ability to advance in a career that depends on making connections back in Washington, DC. And most end up, at the end of their careers spent serving the country they love, not being able to retire to the country they love because it means leaving the person they love behind.
