Today on the Signorile Show

Guest / 2:30pm EST - On Monday the Ali Forney Center, which provides safety and shelter to homeless LGBT teens, will be holding a rally to get support for their Campaign For Youth Shelters. The idea is to get an additional $3 million dollars in funding from the state and local government to help obtain more resources for runaway and homeless LGBT teens. Carl Siciliano, executive director of the AFC, joins us this afternoon.

Guest / 3:30pm EST - We've talked about the Charity Giveback Group, or CGBG, which has retailers donating a percentage of their sales to Christian Charities of consumers' choice. Stuart Wilber, with the help of Change.org, has started a petition to get retailers to stop supporting CGBG due to its ties with Focus on the Family, the Family Research Council and other anti-gay hate groups. He joins us today to discuss how he began this petition.

Guest / 4:30pm EST - Bruce Bueno de Mesquita, co-author of The Dictator's Handbook: Why Bad Behavior Is Almost Always Good Politics, joins us this afternoon to offer his "theory of political survival" when it comes to becoming a successful leader and what should be done in order to avoid civil unrest and revolution.
