  • 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…

  • Republican Debate #20 – 4 more and your next one’s free!

    The GOP presidential candidates met again this week in Arizona for their twentieth debate.  TWENTIETH!  At this rate they’ll either have a longer run on television than Cheers or M*A*S*H or get their next sub sandwich for free. These debates are becoming ridiculous.  The onslaught of far-right rhetoric being spewed over our airwaves is enough to make even Guiliani…

  • 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…

  • Sh*t @RickSantorum Says

    Thanks to the Americans Against the Tea Party Facebook page for sharing this video (below).  Granted, some of it is edited to enhance his ignorance and insanity… but he’s still both. The religious beliefs of Rick Santorum (or fill-in-the-blank Republican candidate) have no power and, God forbid he ever get elected as President, will never…

  • NJ’s Chris Christie Vetoes Marriage Equality Bill

    As he promised, Governor Chris Christie (R) has vetoed the Marriage Equality Bill that would have extended the rights of marriage to committed, same-sex couples. Said Christie, in a statement on his conditional veto, “I have been just as adamant that same-sex couples in a civil union deserve the very same rights and benefits enjoyed…

  • Dear America: You Have a Gay Problem (via HuffPo)

    In a brilliant letter to the United States in the Huffington Post, Josh D. Scheinert shows how Canada has already proven wrong the Conservative theory that homosexuality will destroy the nation. You Americans don’t pay all that much attention to Canada. We know, and are mostly okay with it. But as you strive to build…

  • 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…
