Got all the Oscar contenders crossed off your must-see list? Then, hit the beach.

Not literally, but catch glimpses of it in the new comedy Just Go With It, starring go-to funny guy Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston. Partially set on the islands of Maui and Kauai, the film centers on a single plastic surgeon (Sandler) going after a young schoolteacher (Brooklyn Decker), though he's invented a lie of being married to his colleague (Aniston) and can't seem to find a way to admit the truth.

Seattle Gay News will be giving away free passes to an advance screening of Just Go With It tomorrow, February 6, at Purr Cocktail Lounge (1518 11th Avenue) beginning at 10am - the start of Sunday Brunch. Visit www.purrseattle.com to view their brunch menu. Tomorrow is also SuperBowl Sunday, so stay if you want and watch the big game on Purr's multiple flatscreen TVs.

Just Go With It free passes tomorrow at Purr, starting at 10am! The movie opens nationwide on February 11.

Rob McKenna's support for anti-Gay candidates draws ire in blogosphere

The blog, Pam's House Blend, has taken aim at Republican Attorney General Rob McKenna for his support of anti-Gay candidates. She makes a compelling argument in each endorsement about why McKenna should have known better.

November 20th, 2010:

Washington State's Republican Attorney General Rob McKenna likes to portray himself as a moderate, as noted recently. That false image was shattered when he endorsed numerous virulently anti-gay candidates in the 2010 elections.

As if to reinforce the point that he is ardently anti-gay, on Friday Mr. McKenna posted an email asking supporters to do ballot rehab for two outspokenly anti-gay candidates Vincent Buys and Hans Zeiger.

See SGN reporting on Zeiger here, here and here. He currently leads by 40 votes in the race against incumbent Democrat Dawn Morrell in the 25 LD, Pos. 2, race.

November 11th, 2010:

Always genteel, Washington State's Republican Attorney General Rob McKenna likes to portray himself as a moderate. Being relatively new to Washington, I only started to think about Mr. McKenna's political positioning recently as LGBT friends & allies started mentioning that they had spotted him at this or that event. Delighted at the prospect of a Republican Attorney General (or even future Governor) who is good on LGBT issues, I went into due diligence mode and looked over the public record. What I discovered was that Mr. McKenna may play the moderate, but his own history and his endorsement of a bevvy of virulently anti-gay candidates this election tell a very different story.

With an eye on the Governor's mansion in 2012, McKenna has crafted a public persona gauged to appear inoffensive on social issues. This is necessary for any Republican running for statewide office because although Washington is closely divided along party lines, the electorate has proven itself to be fair-minded on issues like a woman's right to choose, the right of terminally ill people to choose to die with dignity, and civil equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) families.
