Slight Court?State Rep. Alan Seabaugh Introduces HB 402, Labeling LGBT Discrimination as Frivolous A Louisiana state representative wants to take the gay away in workplace discrimination suits. LGBT Community Speaks Up About Police Discrimination by M.D. Dupuy As city officials continue to find alternative methods to fight crime on our city’s streets, one New Orleans group is working independently to address one of the many areas in which the feds said the NOPD had to change. As identified by the U.S. Department of Justice's report on the NOPD, police frequently discriminated against homosexual and/or gender non-conforming people. Members of the community are voicing their concerns today at City Hall at 2 p.m. with a discussion and a film. Today in New Orleans: 6.24.12 Today, join a ton of New Orleans musicians in Westwego for Charmaine Neville’s benefit concert, tour the Garden District’s food scene on Bon Appétite’s Grub Crawl, take your kiddies to the circus in town, and show your pride on the last day of New Orleans Pride Week with a pub crawl. On this day in history, Fats Domino’s “It’s You I Love” entered the Billboard Top 40, reaching #6 (1957), Shreveport-native Brenton Wood’s “The Oogum Boogum Song” entered the Billboard Top 40 at #34 (1967), the Celebration of Life pop music festival started three days late at Cypress Point Plantation in Point Coupee Parish, LA, where starved and doped up music fans saw John Sebastian, Chuck Berry, Eric Burdon and War (1971). The Inside of OutIt's Always Rainin' at Southern Decadence Southern Decdence begins today, meaning thousands of LGBT will flock to New Orleans for a weekend of revelry. Rain is in the forecast, but that's nothing unusual for Labor Day weekend in New Orleans. Force-ing the Issues?Behind the Feds' NOPD Report with New Orleans' Indepedent Police Monitor Upon release of the scathing U.S. Department of Justice report on the widespread faults of the New Orleans Police Department, Mayor Mitch Landrieu commented that no one in the room seemed shocked.
