Who should we send to Sochi?
German President Joachim Gauk will not be gawking at the Sochi Olympics next year. Did I say gawking? A pun, a weak one admittedly, but a pun nonetheless. In reality, he will not be leading the German delegation to protest Putania’s human rights record and all of those creepy bare chested pictures of Vlad doing manly shit. Keep your shirt on, Vlad and I mean that literally… Nation states customarily send high ranking cats and kittens to wave the flag at the opening ceremonies. In 2012, FLOTUS led our delegation to woody old London. This time we should downgrade our … Continue reading Who should we send to Sochi?
Excommunicate the Nonbeliever!
Speaking of unpleasant people who want to wine-dine-69 Jesus but haven’t heard a damn word He said: The Rockford Pro-Life Initiative has called on Francis Cardinal George to excommunicate Governor Pat Quinn for his outspoken support of same-sex “marriage.” [snip] Governor Quinn’s support for same-sex “marriage” puts him at odds with the leadership of the Catholic faith he claims to belong to.ThreeIllinoisbishops released letters to be read from the pulpit in parishes statewide over the weekend opposing the legislation. Members of the Rockford Pro-Life Initiative, however, do not think the letters go far enough. “If Cardinal George and all the … Continue reading Excommunicate the Nonbeliever!
Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn
I don’t know about you, but I really don’t give a shit about the Cheney family feud. Hell, not even Richard Dawson would have cared to kiss ex-Vice President Duce’s bald, scaly head or the cheeks of his creepy spawn or his harridan spousal unit’s hand. The Cheneys are, in a word, icky. Not even Alan Simpson’s loopy intervention has awakened my interest in the story. It *might* hold my interest if Dan Savage’stheory that this whole thing is an act staged by the Cheneys turned out to be true. I wouldn’t put it past the devious bastards. I did, … Continue reading Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn

This Is My Favorite Comment on Illinois Passing Marriage Equality
Oh man, dude: Well this should be the beginning of the end of Illinois, when they allow abnormal, sexual deviant perverts addicted to an unnatural, disgusting sex fetish, this state is will no doubt go down the toilet, but then again, this state has some of the vilest, vermin excuse of so-called human beings in the entire country. Many of the meanest, nastiest, filthiest, most ignorant, pathetic excuse for leaving, breathing space live in this state, I’ve been to several other cities and states and they outclass the garbage in this state and city, absolute bottom of the barrel live … Continue reading This Is My Favorite Comment on Illinois Passing Marriage Equality

Fuck Yeah New Jersey
Whatever comes, we are the lucky ones. When Booker asked if anyone objected to the marriage of the night’s first couple — retired advertising executive Joseph Panessidi and LGBTQ educator Orville Bell — a protester yelled that the marriages were “unlawful in the eyes of God and Jesus Christ,” The Associated Press reported. The protester was then removed, as Booker continued the ceremony, saying he was “not hearing any substantive and worthy objections.” Newlywed Bell said he and his new husband felt they were a part of history. “We’re in our sixties, which means we’ve seen tremendous history of monumental … Continue reading Fuck Yeah New Jersey

I Have Four Questions About Gay Marriage in Illinois
Yeah. And. So. What? Under the measure, the definition of marriage in Illinois would change from an act between a man and a woman to one between two people. Civil unions could be converted to marriages within a year of the law going on the books. The legislation would not require religious organizations to perform a marriage of gay couples, and church officials would not be forced to allow their facilities to be used by gay couples seeking to marry. Religious leaders opposed say the bill doesn’t go far enough to protect their rights. For example, they contend they might … Continue reading I Have Four Questions About Gay Marriage in Illinois

Congress is Terrified of Teh Gheys, You Guys
Some m ilitary benefits for all spouses begin, necessitating a whinyfit from the usual: Pentagon officials told reporters they estimate that 5,600 same-sex couples include an active duty member; 3,400 include a reservist and 8,000 include a retiree. Robert Maginnis, an analyst at the Family Research Council, said the Pentagon is “ignoring federal law.” “Sadly, Congress won’t do anything to defend the marriage law or force the Pentagon to stop granting member benefits to same-sex partners because it fears the Obama administration and homosexual activists,” he said. Yes, Congress is noticeably cowed by the Obama administration these days. I’ve seen … Continue reading Congress is Terrified of Teh Gheys, You Guys
The Shadow Box
When I think of U.S. Rep. Mark Pocan, I remember the shadow box that hung on the wall of his Madison condo. It was a weekend afternoon and Pocan was throwing a housewarming party at his new condo. I was dating a city council rep at the time, so I found myself invited to this shindig. I had met Pocan a few times as a reporter and via a few friends I had in Madison’s gay community. He served as a county board rep and was a solid fixture in both the area’s political and LGBTQ communities. I always found … Continue reading The Shadow Box
Bigots are the New Gays
Jesus Elvis Roosevelt Christ: Last week, the cover of Time magazine showed two women kissing and a headline that read: “Gay Marriage Already Won.” With the Supreme Court case on gay marriage at hand in Washington — a final decision isn’t expected until summer — many feel that the legalization of marriage for gays is inevitable. Only the Deep South states, including Tennessee, remain opposed. In 2012, 59.4 percent of Georgia residents said they wouldn’t be in favor of legalizing gay marriage, according to a Landmark Communications/Rosetta Stone poll. Yet even in Tennessee, where more people are opposed to gay … Continue reading Bigots are the New Gays
Strange Bedfellows: Putin and Pat
Remember when Pat Buchanan was a fanatical anti-communist and Russophobe? That guy would have been suspicious of Vladimir Putin because of his background as a KGB man.But Pat’s rabid homophobia finds him in bed with the rabidly macho Russian President: Leno and Obama were referring to a new Russian law prohibiting “homosexual propaganda.” Moscow is also warning foreigners, including visitors to the winter Olympics in Sochi, that propagandizing for gay rights can get them two weeks in detention. No kiss-ins allowed. “Medieval,” howled the Washington Post. “Mr. Putin’s war” on gays and lesbians is “part and parcel of his lapse … Continue reading Strange Bedfellows: Putin and Pat

Fuck Yeah, Kevin Rudd
Sometimes knowing that you’re going to lose an election can be liberating.That seems to be the case for Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd who gave a passionate and well reasoned argument against religious bigotry, and in favor of marriage equality that included a reference to the US Civil War and slavery. See the awesomeness for yourself: Continue reading Fuck Yeah, Kevin Rudd

Justice Anthony Kennedy is Not That Into You
He’s been ducking your calls, refusing to introduce you to his mom, describing you to his friends as “that stalker chick,” throwing out the toothbrushes you keep leaving at his place, and the last time he caught you doodling your names on a piece of paper HE SET IT ON FIRE.Take the hint. Go home. Have a drink, take a shower, get a haircut, and move on with your life. A. Continue reading Justice Anthony Kennedy is Not That Into You
‘The Beginning of the End’
Edith Windsor, on her victory today: I do think, in many ways, the fact that the federal government will no longer discriminate against us — I understand “us” is we who are already married — but that’s a huge step. When people asked, “What do you think will happen if you win?” I talked about, in some ways, the beginning of the end of stigma. It’s the beginning of the end of a lot of internalized homophobia, it’s the beginning of kids and teenagers falling in love for the first time and knowing that they can marry someday. It’s already … Continue reading ‘The Beginning of the End’
I hope she invites the Chief to the wedding
Chief Justice Roberts’ openly gay cousin Jean Podrasky is itching to get hitched now that Prop-8 is toast. She hasn’t decided if she’ll invited him to the wedding but I really hope she does. He could also bring his cranky little friend Tony Scalia, who increasingly reminds me of Louie DePalma. Of course, Danny Devito is much better looking than Nino. Now that I think of it, don’t invite Nino to your nuptials, Joan. He’ll end up giving you The Wedding Bell Blues: Continue reading I hope she invites the Chief to the wedding

The Enemy of My Enemy Does Not Always Help
Ordinarily I get my back up when people make fun of the French, but in this case, go right ahead and mock: The anti-gays in France are a coalition put together by the Catholic church and France’s UMP opposition party (basically, the French version of the Republican party that thought it was a bright idea to hitch its wagon to anti-gay bigotry, the same failed trick the American GOP tried these past 30+ years). The coalition has close ties to the American religious right, particularly NOM. And their leader is a French comedienne, Frigide Barjot, whose nom de plume is … Continue reading The Enemy of My Enemy Does Not Always Help

Malaka Of The Week: Louisiana National Guard
More douchebaggery, nincompoopery, bigotry, and malakatutude from the Gret Stet: The Louisiana National Guard won’t process benefits for same-sex couples because the state Constitution does not recognize gay marriage, a spokesman confirmed Wednesday. The directive directly contradicts a Pentagon policy issued Tuesday requiring the military to honor such benefits requests. “The state of Louisiana does not recognize same-sex marriage, nor does it allow a state officials to take part in an act that recognizes same-sex marriage. We would refer those individuals interested in applying for such benefits to seek guidance at a federal military installation,” said Lt. Col. Michael Kazmierzak. … Continue reading Malaka Of The Week: Louisiana National Guard
Quote Of The Day: Tory Grandee Edition
I have a friend who maintains that mainstream European Conservatives aren’t all that wingnutty. I hope that he’s paying attention to the intra-Tory party debate over marriage equality.Here’s what former Party Chairman and Thatcher intimate, Lord Norman Tebbit had to say yesterday: “When we have a queen who is a lesbian and she marries another lady and then decides she would like to have a child and someone donates sperm and she gives birth to a child, is that child heir to the throne?” I wonder if ole Norm has been trading emails with Rick Santorum? If Tebbit weren’t such … Continue reading Quote Of The Day: Tory Grandee Edition
