Gallup: Only 31% of black Democrats in America say homosexual relations are morally acceptable, roughly the same as the 30% of Republicans who agree, while very much different from the 61% of nonblack Democrats who say homosexual relations are morally acceptable…. Just 30% of black Democrats say they would agree that marriages between same-sex couples […]

The Church Militant
Check out this post at Kos. The Salvation Army has received hundreds of millions of dollars during the years of George W. Bush’s presidential administration, during which time the nonprofit has also subjected its employees to a maximally bigoted Christian religious loyalty oath that Salvation Army employees must sign or else be fired from their […]

Gays: Coming To Your Town
Watch out, Arkansas, you could be full of gay people. That’s the premise for a new educational DVD from the homo-hatin’ American Family Association (at 28 minutes long, the film is “perfect for viewing during Sunday School” the AFA promises!) which uses the “former Christian resort town” of Eureka Springs, AR, as the tragic example […]

So, Can We Vote Again?
Via Daily Kos: SurveyUSA’s headline of their latest California Prop 8 poll sounds pessimistic. “No on Prop 8 – Protesters Have Not Changed Many Minds in California But the numbers show otherwise. Of the those adults who tell SurveyUSA they voted FOR Prop 8, 90% of them told us recent rallies held by “No on […]

Four members of the Topeka, Kansas based anti-gay Westboro Baptist Church protested for an hour this morning, at the corner of SW 13th and Market, where bewildered commuters exiting highway 26 had to pass this: And this, a counter protest on the opposite side of the street: And this, a rally in support of PSU’s […]

Westboro Baptist Church Hates Fags, Portland Loves Them
I’ve been hesitant to post this, because they certainly don’t need any press: The lovely folks at Westboro “God Hates Fags” Baptist Church will be in town on Monday, picketing at that homo-loving institution, PSU. They’ll also hit Silverton to protest the recently-elected transgendered mayor, Stu Rasmussen. (Here’s a fascinating video of Phelps explaining the […]

Every Child Deserves a Mother and a Father
But some children need a new mother and father because their original mother was murdered by their original father, who proceeded to kill himself. Tragic. Now listen as right-wing bigot Maggie Gallagher explains that all children need a mom and a dad — because moms and dads are magic. “Unions of a husband and wife […]

Prop 8 Update: Savage on Larry King Live
Last Friday our dear Dan Savage was on Larry King Live with San Fran Mayor Gavin Newsom and a couple of intolerant preacher types to debate Prop 8. The clip has finally hit the inter-tubes and as expected the discussion is simultaneously inspiring, infuriating and fascinating. (You can probably guess who the inspiring ones are… […]

Why I’m CONVINCED These Guys Aren’t Gay
Yes, this is a “French Disco” song. Yes, the video stars the French boy band known as “Pipones.” And yet, I remain unconvinced the three guys depicted in the video are gayer than Gaylord McGayerson, the grand marshal of Gay Town’s annual gay pride parade. My reasons follow: 1) Gay men don’t drop their trousers […]

Cutest Photo of Sam Adams EVER
While commentors expressed some disappointment about the small size and nonexistent sound system of Portland’s Anti-Prop 8 rally this weekend, I think something happened that day which we can all be happy about: mayor-Elect Sam Adams posed for photos with a bunch of adorable old guys fighting “gnome-ahomophobia.” No civil rights march, but a definite […]

Today’s Prop 8 Protest
Today in the South Park Blocks, a thousand or so people gathered to rally against the passage of Prop 8 in California, plus other anti-gay laws that sailed through in Arkansas, Florida, and Arizona on Election Day. “Out of Oregon, some really bad things happened,” City Commissioner-elect Amanda Fritz said. Democratic activist Laura Calvo noted […]

Rally Tomorrow
Don’t forget: I’ll be there. And I’m hearing from tons of friends and colleagues–even gays who avoid the gay pride thing, or straights who typically don’t do the protest thing–who plan to be there. Will you?
