As someone with gay family (whom I love dearly) I can honestly say: You are simply a vile self-hating human being. I can deal with intelligent discourse but you are just hateful. You hate yourself, enjoy that!—BRF ·················· Would you describe Santorum‘s comments comparing consensual gay relationships—including my 17 years with my husband—to dog fucking […]

Child Abuse at Hands of Lesbian Parents: ZERO Percent

The Williams Institute, a research center on sexual orientation law and public policy at UCLA School of Law, has announced new findings from the U.S. National Longitudinal Lesbian Family Study (NLLFS), the longest-running study ever conducted on American lesbian families (now in its 24th year).

Only Santorum Has Gotten the “Santorum” Treatment
I may well be “an angry sexual zealot,” and my column may be “demented and dehumanizing,” and I may have set back “all of [the] progress” made by the gay rights movement over the last 30 years, but my readers and I did not redefine Rick Santorum’s last name “because Santorum is pro-life and opposes […]

They Are the 99.9%
They’re not OWS protestors and this isn’t a post about economic inequality. No, that figure—99.9%—is the percentage of gays and lesbians who’ve sought Christian “counseling” to change them from gay to straight and who are still gay. Whose put that figure out there? The American Psychological Association? Truth Wins Out? Human Rights Campaign? Nope, that’s […]

Washington Governor Backs Gay Marriage—What’s that Mean for Oregon?
This week, perennially vague Washington Governor Christine Gregoire came out in support of gay marriage, saying she’s finally worked out her stance on the issue after seven years of deep thinking and will now support a bill legalizing same-sex marriage in the state during her lame duck session. On the one hand, this doesn’t mean […]

Santorum Gets Booed AGAIN
As you saw in this morning’s edition of GMN, presidential wannabe Rick Santorum got roundly booed yesterday when speaking to young college Republicans about same sex marriage. And today he gets booed again (though not as roundly) for continuing to squirt out the same nonsense. WHAT AN IDIOT. And while we’re booing? LET’S BOO THAT […]

There’s Something Happening Here
Mitt Romney, who doesn’t want gays marrying but who once promised to do more to advance gay rights than Ted Kennedy, staggers along, the unpopular-but-still-presumptive nominee. Ron Paul, who thinks gay people should be allowed to marry and legally buy heroin thinks we should be able to serve in the military that he won’t use […]

Gay Dads Find Out They’re Gonna Be Grandpas
Don’t make the mistake I did: this isn’t a video you watch with your headphones in and the volume on high. Best comment over at YouTube: Easy to tell who the bottom is. LOL. Baby gonna have some dope clothes! For the record: the bottom isn’t always easy to spot and those first impressions—dude shrieks […]

Mitt Romney Can’t Catch a Break
Romney spots a couple of old codgers eating breakfast in a coffee shop in New Hampshire. One of the old codgers is a veteran. So Mitt plops down in their booth to connect with these voters—they’re old! one’s a vet! photo op!—and it turns out that they’re a gay married couple and they’re not havin’ […]

Rick Perry’s Brokeback
You know that creepy, anti-gay, hyper-Christian ad that Rick Perry started pushing yesterday? Turns out, it was too crazy for even some on Perry’s staff: When the ad was being crafted several weeks ago, Perry’s top pollster, Tony Fabrizio, called it “nuts,” according to an email sent from Fabrizio to the ad’s main creator, longtime […]

This Is a Big Fucking Deal: “Being LBGT Does Not Make You Less Human.”
Hillary Clinton’s speech yesterday to the United Nations in Geneva is required viewing: TIME offers a good summary: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Tuesday vowed that the United States would help fight discrimination against gays and lesbians around the world. In what’s being hailed as a ‘landmark’ speech, she marked Human Rights Day by […]
