  • Senator Stacey Campfield’s Facebook Response to a Friend

    Tennessee Senator Stacey Campfield has gotten a lot of press lately for the blatantly false claims he made on Michelangelo Signorile’s Sirius/XM radio show. Here is a highlight from his interview: “Most people realize that AIDS came from the homosexual community—it was one guy screwing a monkey, if I recall correctly, and then having sex with…

  • The Ten Commandments: The Basis of Our Laws… or are they?

    Just something to share in the hope that the far-right, political extremists who want to base U.S laws on biblical doctrines will realize they’re being a little excessive. Thanks to NonStampCollector for creating this.

    Ethan Sabo may be the most delusional, self-loathing young man I’ve seen on YouTube… and that includes having seen his heroes, Michele Bachmann and Rick Santorum, act like complete lunatics. Let’s dispel his claims by pointing out the flaws in his statement.  What follows is a fairly accurate transcript of his rant (video is available below) with…

  • Sh*t Homophobes Say

    My friend Tony shared this video from Lambda Legal on Facebook and I have to agree with his sentiment: “I’m sorta done with this “Sh*t Somebody Says” thing, but this one’s actually a good reminder that THIS shit gets said, and it gets said every day.

    UPDATE: A friend helped me find the following which clarifies the “not a Girl Scout” statement from Ms. Kalina. So the girl in the video IS a Girl Scout.
