Campbell, you should ALL remember, was a fiery and passionate defender of our people when the bill was being debated on the Arizona House floor. He is being term-limited out of office this year and many thought him to be a top Democratic prospect for governor, but several months ago he said would not run.

If you watched yesterday’s Arizona House debate, you’ll know that the only bright points of the entire disgusting exercise were the impassioned defenses of the LGBT community delivered by Democratic Minority Leader Rep. Chad Campbell. Apparently some of God’s Gentle People didn’t like that. Campbell, not incidentally, is straight and married to a woman. RELATED: Last year the Phoenix Tea …

LGBT ally Lily Allen is back with a new video from her coming third studio album to be released next month.

“What is the true price of fame? The price of fame is what you risk when you have the platform. As an athlete, a role model for society, people listen to you.

“Damned if they do, damned if they don’t—we’ve heard this song before. The queers complaining about Macklemore & Ryan Lewis now remind me of the queers who used to bitch and bitch and bitch about how big beer companies didn’t advertise in queer publications or sponsor pride parades. (‘Queer people drink a lot of beer! They want us to support …

Cash is a strong ally of the LGBT community and last year released a song about an “elderly gay couple in Chelsea who were very dear to me.” Proceeds from that single went to homeless LGBT youth and AIDS programs of St. Luke In The Fields in the West Village.

“One of you supremely talented graphic artists should start a comic book series starring the Duck dudes as homosexual bears. Talk about crossover potential. The thing writes itself. At the next major gay pride event, there should be hard-bodied men in camo hot pants, ridiculous beards pasted to their chins, blowing through duck calls. Dick Dynasty is a gay porn …

An excerpt:  What Kluwe fails to grasp, as many in today’s society often do, is that NFL teams are private organizations: as such, they can release an employee for any reason that is not contrary to the law (e.g., race) and is not contractually forbidden. Moreover, the contracts players often sign with the teams include all manner of behavioral clauses, …

“I vehemently deny today’s allegations made by Chris Kluwe. I want to be clear that I do not tolerate discrimination of any type and am respectful of all individuals.

“Hello. My name is Chris Kluwe, and for eight years I was the punter for the Minnesota Vikings. In May 2013, the Vikings released me from the team.
