Tony Perkins: Why Spend Money On LGBT Seniors? Gays Don’t Live That Long Anyway

A few days ago it was announced that the Department of Health & Human Services has authorized a $250K grant to establish the National Resource Center for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Elders. That’s a meager amount by federal standards, to be sure, but an important and unprecedented recognition of LGBT seniors. But staying true to evil form, the vile …

Key West Day Five, Part II

Last night we attended the Key West Headdress Ball 2009, where (mostly) locals competed for prizes based on their attire from the neck up. Silliness and burlesque prevailed. Those costumed from the neck down were not judged, except by some catty NYC-based writers. The event was held under a giant tent down by the southernmost point of the continental U.S., …

Key West Day Five

Yesterday Father Tony and I overslept and missed the 7:15am boarding call for the high-speed ferry to the Dry Tortugas. Dammit all to hell. Those who went are calling it one of the highlights of the week. Dammit all to hell. So instead of a 70-mile voyage into the Gulf of Mexico, we made up for it with a trip …

PhoboQuotable – Gary L. Cass

“In other nations, like Canada, where hate crime laws have been enacted, it is Christians, specifically conservative Christians who hold to the historic Christian faith and it’s values, that become the object of institutionalized, governmental hate. “Christians who dare to tell the truth about the social, moral, spiritual and health consequences of illicit homosexual acts are accused of hate speech …

Morning View – Southernmost Point

It’s probably some kind of local law that every tourist in Key West must pose for this photo, judging by the line we had to wait in line just to get the brief opportunity for this shot. Father Tony had his eyes closed, but we figured “good enough” rather than wait again.

PhoboQuotable – Anthony Apuron

“The culture of homosexuality is a culture of self-absorption because it does not value self-sacrifice. It is a glaring example of what John Paul II has called the culture of death. Islamic fundamentalists clearly understand the damage that homosexual behavior inflicts on a culture. That is why they repress such behavior by death. Their culture is anything but one of …

Key West Day Four

Yesterday Father Tony and I began the day with moped jaunt around the island, stopping first at the Key West AIDS Memorial, which is a simple and serene series of black granite tablets laid into the sidewalk and engraved with the names of some of the more than 1000 locals lost to the disease, an enormous number for a town …

Christine Quinn Endorses Bill Thompson For NYC Mayor

In a bit of a shocker, openly gay New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, long seen as Michael Bloomberg’s right-hand gal, has endorsed Comptroller Bill Thompson for mayor. City Council Speaker Christine Quinn off-handedly endorsed city Controller William Thompson for mayor on Monday, despite being a longstanding ally of Mayor Bloomberg. By doing so, Quinn (D-Manhattan) bowed to the …
