  • The Warner Witch of the West

    So, I got two emails the other day from Zazzle.com’s Content Review team, telling me that two pieces I created (one on November 25, 2007 and the other on December 28, 2007) have been removed from the online service because they violated someone’s copyright.

  • Mississippi Lawmaker Suggests Gays Should Be Put to Death

    Below is the email I just sent to Mississippi State Representative Andy Gipson, following the news I read on Towleroad about his horrifying Facebook comments; suggesting gays be put to death as written in his bible. Mr. Gipson, I am writing to ask what makes you think that your opinion of homosexuals or your assertion that…

  • Obama Endorses Marriage Equality

    Thank you President Obama, for standing by your beliefs and making them heard.  As ThinkProgress is reporting, the president announced his support of marriage equality in an interview with ABC News’ Robin Roberts this afternoon: “I have to tell you that over the course of several years as I have talked to friends and family…

  • Michigan Primary Results – Obama for the Win

    Granted only 20% of precincts are reporting but as of this moment Mitt Romney is just squeaking past Rick Santorum. But if you look at the big picture, as the folks at The Huffington Post have done, you’ll see that Romney is still sailing ahead.  Ah yes, America.  Where little wooden boys can grow up…

  • Tanya Ditty (Concerned Women for America) Compares Gays to Pedophiles, Necrophiliacs & More

    This woman should never be allowed to teach anyone as she clearly has no understanding of the difference between homosexuality and her vitriolic list of deviant behaviors. According to the GA Voice, who posted the video below, Tanya Ditty (state director for the anti-gay Concerned Women of America) offered her two cents to the subcommittee of…

  • Standing by Ellen and JC Penney

    The One Million Moms (a sub-group of another bigoted and intolerant group, the American Family Association) recently attacked JC Penney for hiring Ellen DeGeneres as their spokesperson.  I just read some of the nasty, negative comments on the JC Penney Facebook page and had to respond. So, to one particularly hateful senior citizens (Stanley Minor of…

  • NOM & Gallagher: The Veruca Salt in our Nation’s Chocolate Factory

    The National Organization for Marriage (trumpeted by Maggie Gallagher and Brian Brown) have become the Veruca Salt in our nation’s chocolate factory.  Gallagher wrote the following in a blog post following yesterday’s jubilation-inducing ruling that Prop 8 was unconsitutional. “In a breathtaking exercise in ill-natured illogic, a divided Ninth Circuit ruled 2-1 that because Prop 8…

  • Matthew Shepard’s Father Speaks to Anti-LGBT Lawmakers in Tennessee

    In an article written by Chas Sisk at The Tennessean had a feature on Matthew Shepard’s father, who arrived at the Tennessee State Capitol to voice his concerns about the laws being proposed by anti-LGBT lawmakers. This last year has seen an embarrassing onslaught of anti-LGBT legislation in Tennessee from Stacy Campfield, who is pushing not just…

  • Campfield Claims Breast Cancer Caused by Abortions

    I was so sure Campfield had reached the peak of Mount Ignorance with his “Don’t Say Gay” vitriol and his dangerous and false claims against the gay community. The people at Knoxviews.com shared his latest, baseless and classless blog post in which he now suggests that abortions cause breast cancer. He’s certain of this because he read…

  • Bigotry Kills – Rolling Stone’s “One Town’s War on Gay Teens”

    Rolling Stone just published an article on the inexcusable rash of teen suicides that have ravaged the Anoka-Hennepin school district in Minnesota. I won’t rehash it here but it deserves a thorough read as it reveals what most of us already knew… stigmatizing the LGBT community creates an unbearable sense of defeat and feeling of utter…
