During the month of September over half a dozen LGBTQ youth, unable to bear the brunt of constant bullying, committed suicide, or, were attacked and injured.

We will be joined by:

We hope you can join us and provide input to help us put an end to the bullying and the hurt and start the healing. You’ll also be able to make your own “It Gets Better” video to give encouragement to kids everywhere.

Any questions? lvstonewalldems@gmail.com

Hola! It’s been a very sad week in LGBTQ land. The completely needless death of Rutgers student Tyler Clementi was the latest in a string of deaths of LGBTQ young people who took their own lives because of the stupidity of others.

The Sausage Factory this week is dedicated to all of those who just couldn’t take it anymore.

Tyler Clementi
Asher Brown
Raymond Chase
Billy Lucas
Justin Aaberg
And all the kids everywhere who have been bullied and harassed because of who they are.



This weeks guests:

Educator & activist AJ O'Reilly will co-host with us.

Get Equals Michelle Wright with news from what activists around the country are doing to help keep our kids safe from bullies.

“Legal Eagle” Ari Ezra Waldman on what charges the people who led Tyler Clementi to take his life may face.

Nevada State Senator David Parks will tell us legislation to help keep kids safe.

Washington’s ultimate “insider” Steve Hildebrand

Shannon Cuttle joins us again on the urgent need for movement on the Safe Schools Improvement Act.

Live reports from the big march in DC by Natasha Dillon & Vito

As always, “Ask a Tranny”.

Paco Alvarez leaves his SkyPad in Downtown Vegas to tell us what’s going on in the city that never sleeps.

And Paul Soileau aka “Christeene” the filthiest drag queen since Divine!

Of course The Sausage Factory wouldn’t be complete without LauraKMM’s “Twitter Trendz”.
