Nothing new here: Santorum doesn’t think that same-sex couples should have any rights—no access to marriage, no civil unions, no domestic partnerships, no nothing—but he concedes that we are “free Americans” and that we can live our lives however we like. In other words: all Americans have a right to assfuck their partners in their […]

New Gay Marriage Ads on Oregon TVs
LGBT advocacy group Basic Rights Oregon has launched a new TV ad campaign statewide (you’ll see their spot during GLEE tonight) that aims to build support for gay marriage in Oregon.
