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 [...]
Shorter Barack Obama
Fuck you, faggots.
That’s really essentially it in a nutshell. And I’m sorry if thaty kind of language hurts someone’s widdle feewings, but that’s exactly what barack obama is saying to gay people and quite frankly to anyone who’s in a domestic partnership, including straight people: Fuck You.
Is rewarding bigotry change we can believe in? [...]
Dear Barack Obama…
Really?
Rick Warren: But the issue to me is, I’m not opposed to that as much as I’m opposed to the redefinition of a 5,000-year definition of marriage. I’m opposed to having a brother and sister be together and call that marriage. I’m opposed to an older guy marrying a child and calling that a marriage. [...]
Weekend Protests
National Protest for Gay Rights
I’ve never written that much about gay rights issues. I have a few gay friends, but it’s never been a major focus of my political consciousness. In the wake of Proposition 8, I’m seeings quite a bit differently. I don’t like bigots. I especially don’t like religiously motivated [...]
Shorter Homophobes
Hilarious:
A week after a majority of voters passed the controversial measure to ban same-sex marriage, the conflict continues – in the courts, at protests and in personal attacks.
“I’m frustrated by what’s going on,” said Dave Leatherby, owner of the Leatherby Family Creamery in Sacramento, commenting on the protests and court battles.
“Let’s move on. I always [...]
Olbermann Speaks for Me
Same-Sex Marriage Rights
My brother has an odious little troll at his site, a self-described gay “independent” whose “independent” political views seem to coincide only with those of the right-wing base of the GOP. I like to bust his balls and point out his contradictions, which makes him mad.
On one or two occasions I have stepped over [...]
