Gay Marriage Loses in NY
Dear New York:
As a straight man, you’d figure that I don’t have a dog in the marriage equality fight. And you’d be right, sort of.
But I’m the kind of person who backs up his friends, and a lot of those people happen to be gay. So on their behalf, I extend to you a hale [...]
Health Care Reform FAIL: Democrats Sell Out, Like I Said They Would.
Johnny Rotten Speaks the Truth
I told you we weren’t getting health care reform:
Sources say that it’s a major scale-back of the outline they had before. Specifically, subsidies have dropped from 400 percent of the poverty line to 300 percent. Medicaid eligibility has been tightened to 133 percent of poverty for children and pregnant women and [...]
Monday Incident
I saw them walking up the street and harassing my neighbors as I walked up my front porch. White shirts, blue ties, dark pants, hair immaculately cut and combed. I sighed: they were kidding themselves thinking that my African American churchgoing neighbors were going to suddenly abandon their congregations to join a faith [...]

Ronnie Polaneczky has some fun with John Ensign, the hypocritical, homewrecking homophobe:
The right-wing Nevada senator admitted this week that he’d had an affair with a campaign aide, the wife of one of his employees. Ensign called it “the worst thing I have ever done in my life. If there was ever anything in my life [...]
Shorter Obama: “Here’s a Crumb, Faggot, Now Shut Up.”
Via Americablog, NBC seems to get what the Obama Administration is doing when it gives some benefits to same-sex couples who work for the feds:
at 5:45 pm ET, Obama signs a presidential memo granting same-sex benefits to federal workers. This move, however, seems mostly about placating gay-rights advocates who have been angered by 1) the [...]
The Only Thing I Like Better than Hypocrisy…
…is naked hypocrisy.
The blogosphere is ablaze with buzz about topless and semi-nude photos of controversial anti-gay marriage activist Miss California Carrie Prejean. We hear there’s a whole series of these suckers about to leak. The first photo, which appeared just a few minutes ago on TheDirty.com, shows a woman — who bares a stricking resemblance [...]
Rick Warren: Gluttonous Hateful Crybaby
Shorter Rick Warren:
Aravosis nails him:
In the new video, Warren accuses gays of “hate speech,” of launching “hateful attacks” against him, and he then says that gay and lesbian Americans have “Christ-ophobia,” a clear effort to mock the term “homophobia.” He goes on to explain that gays are “afraid of any Christian,” suggesting that gay [...]
Gay Teens and Suicide: Why the Warren Choice Matters
Shorter Stoller: By legitimizing the homophobic Warren, you legitimize the hatred that causes gay teens to commit suicide:
Gay kids learn that being gay is wrong, so they try to stop being attracted to the person of the same sex. And they fail. And they have horrible problems until they come to terms with [...]
Markos on Warren
My father and I had a breif discussion abut the Rick Warren appearance yesterday, which began with dad saying “Oh Come ON” about my objections.
There were a number of reasons I was upset, I explained, and the rhetoric about “reaching out” doesn’t impress me. Normalizing the beliefs of anti-reproductive rights, anti-gay, anti-evolution, war-mongering people like [...]
LYING HATEFUL ELIMINATIONIST PREACHER TO JOIN OBAMA AT INAUGURATION
Smell the change: it smells like rick Warren’s ass:
There was no doubt that Obama, like every president before him, would pick a Christian minister to perform this sacred duty. But Obama had thousands of clergy to choose from, and the choice of Warren is not only a slap in the face to progressive ministers toiling [...]
