Mitt Romney’s Father Was Better Than His Son
Stumbled across an interesting artifact the other day concerning George Romney, father of the not-official-yet-but-who-are-we-kidding Republican nominee Mitt Romney. George Romney has come up a couple of times in this campaign, mostly when Mitt was stumping in his home state of Michigan. What I saw was a letter sent to George (in 1964, when he...
Keep It Sassy, Keep It Classy, Keep It Gay
It’s a slow day for news. You can always tell so when news orgs are running stories on which mini celebrity said what bad thing about gay people. For example, Manny Pacquiao, a boxer or a wrestler or whatever, said he doesn’t support gay marriage. ”Whoopdie-shit,” says I. This isn’t news. I can’t believe you...
¡Amigos Ultimos!
Last week, I experienced a rush of shameful joy in the prison sentencing of two former New York senators. These guys are two of the few Democrats who “voted their conscience” to block gay marriage rights in 2009. In fact, they voted their consciences on this so hard that they had virtually no conscience left...
‘One Million Moms’ Gets a Mother’s Day Gift
What did you get your mom for Mother’s Day? Whatever it is, it don’t hold a candle to the gift ABC gave the anti-gay group “One Million Moms”: delusions of grandeur. The radical group (and I mean “far right” radical, not “Gushers commercial” radical) has been calling for the destruction of ABC’s mildly rated hot...
Vote 2012: Gay Marriage Battleground
North Carolina, Maggie Gallagher smiles at your misery today, and that is unacceptable.
Tales From the Closet!
Today is a day for schadenfreude! With Amendment 1 in North Carolina stipping LGBT folk of what pitiful few rights they had left, I think it is appropriate to spend today looking at consequences of similar shit situations. Pull your chair close, children, and listen to a tale of two corrupt men who are currently...
Amendment 1: The South Will Rise Above
The South gets a bad rap. It’s easy to say that the South is a place of intolerance. I choose to say that the South is a place that is just extra tolerant of the past. The South has got a troublesome permanent record: low literacy, last to allow interracial marriage, no states that have...
Pay Gay
I don’t want to start screaming here, but gays, why we gotta pay? Gays, I don’t know if you realize this, but we, by nature, pay some big ass taxes. And straights, especially straight rich men, listen here: I don’t care how much you think you’re paying in taxes, there’s a gay guy out there...
I’m Worried About Our Opponents
The life of a pure fundamentalist Christian must be a life of nonstop gnawing terror. The sky is constantly falling in their world. As a gay man who writes about the world he lives in, I don’t think the sky is always falling. I believe I live in a treehouse in a beautiful jungle, and...
We Need More Shows About Housewives, Damn It!
All things good and fun have their zenith, celebrate their own ingenuity and then reach too far into the masses and become dumb and dull. You struggle to remember what was ever new and silly about it in the first place. *I’m talking about Sheryl Crow songs. *I’m talking about Chuck Norris jokes. Chuck Norris...
15 Minutes of Blame
Apparently, Kirk Cameron went on CNN’s Not-Larry-King-Anymore Show with Piers Morgan to announce that he’s gay! Or that he thinks gay people are unnatural. Either one, I’m not sure. I’ve spent the last four days in a Twitter-proof mason jar. Mr. Cameron did indeed go on Piers Morgan and said “Gay people shouldn’t marry...
