HomoConQuotable – Charles Winecoff

“Like slavery in America, there is no moving on from gay Republicanism. Robert ‘KKK’ Byrd can be forgiven. Jim ‘I-am-a-gay-American-cheating-on-my-wife’ McGreevey can be forgiven. Dean, Clinton, and Obama can be forgiven for their hollow promises to the LGBT community. Hell, even Fidel Castro can be forgiven for his homosexual re-education camps. And, of course, it wouldn’t be ‘nice’ to criticize …

New York Times To President Obama:
Don’t Appeal Court Ruling On DADT

Today the New York Times published an editorial advising President Obama not to appeal the recent federal court ruling that DADT is unconstitutional. President Obama, the House and a majority of senators clearly support an end to “don’t ask, don’t tell,” but that, of course, is insufficient in the upside-down world of today’s Senate, where 40 members can block anything. …

Florida’s Third Court of Appeals today upheld a lower court’s 2008 decision that a ban on gay adoption in unconstitutional.

Christine O’Donnell To Hannity: I’m Not Doing Any More National Media

We’re seeing more and more of this. Teabagger candidates are refusing media requests, preferring to deliver their messages one-way from behind a podium rather than face serious questions about their loony tunes positions.

HomoQuotable – Jim Burroway

“This was never a serious attempt to pass legislation in the best interests of the American people. It was nothing but political theater, and everyone on both sides were eager actors in the drama. All the Senators had a role to play, and everyone played to the audience. Even the White House was given a bit part. They issued a …

In Today’s Washington Post Express

I watch one episode and this is what happens? I’m sure Sarah Palin’s teabagger drones don’t read the WaPo Express, so we should be safe from her army of trolls on this. Real critics of the show who dissed Bristol’s dancing haven’t been so lucky. (Sent by JMG reader Nicholas)

In a blog posting yesterday, Savage …

NEW YORK: Andrew Cuomo Far Ahead Of Teabagger Nutjob Carl Paladino

The only surprising part of these polling results is that almost a third of New Yorkers support Carl “Put The Poor In Prison” Paladino. In Teabagistan, you can be as crazy as a horse-fucking shithouse rat as long as you shout “Cut taxes!” every three minutes. UPDATE: Towleroad points out a just-released poll mentioned on Politico in which Cuomo leads …

Bill Clinton: I Regret DADT

Saying that he only reluctantly signed DADT into law when it became clear that Congress would impose an outright ban on gays in the military if he didn’t, former President Bill Clinton told CBS News last night that he regretted his role in the creation of the bill. He also said that former Joint Chiefs Chairman Colin Powell was deceptive …

Italian Minister Of Family Policy: Gay Adoption Leads To Human Trafficking

Italy’s Minister of Family Policy says that allowing gay couples to adopt leads to children being bought and sold. The Catholic News Agency happily reports the message of Carlo Giovanardi: In the interview with political analyst Klaus Davi, Giovanardi noted that “where the adoption by gay couples is allowed, such as in the U.S. and Brazil,” the countries have exploded …

Morning View – Helmsley Building

Built in 1929 as the New York Central Railroad Building, it was purchased in the 80’s by the Helmsleys. “Queen Of Mean” Leona later stipulated that all future owners of the building must keep its Helmsley name. In 2006 the Helmsley was purchased for $705M by the royal family of Dubai, who sold it one year later to Goldman Sachs …

Samoan Clerics: Homosexuals Are Causing Global Climate Change

Clerics of an unnamed Christian denomination informed attendees at a University of the South Pacific conference on climate change in Samoa that homosexuals are responsible for global warming. Academics were apparently thrown off their consideration of “Arts in the Age of Global Warming” and “Ecology in Poetry / Poetry in Ecology” by reports of Church Ministers who maintained that climate …

October 10th In San Francisco: Remember The Party With DJ Jerry Bonham

One of my favorite events of the year, Remember The Party, returns to San Francisco’s legendary Trocadero Transfer (now the Glas Kat) on October 10th. The 1980 White Party at the Trocadero Transfer had a ’30s Art Deco theme that got everyone’s happy feet tap-tap-tapping. Looking at the pictures from it inspired our Remember The White Party poster with its …
