Protect Marriage Files CA Supreme Court Demand To Reinstate Proposition 8

Via press release from Protect Marriage: Moments ago, we filed a new petition in the California Supreme Court against all of California’s 58 county clerks, and state officials, seeking to restore the enforcement of Proposition 8, the state’s constitutional amendment limiting marriage to a man and a woman.  The undeniable fact is, the man-woman definition of marriage, as passed by …

Boycotts Are “McCarthyism” Says The Woman Whose Hate Group Created “Dump Starbucks” And “Dump General Mills”

“Gay marriage advocates are trying to build up a boycott of Ender’s Game because of Orson Scott Card’s personal views on marriage. It seems very strange to me that so many artists and people on the left are supporting the idea that to make art in the mainstream you have to have the right political opinions. This used to be …

HomoQuotable – Harvey Fierstein

“Putin has declared war on the gay community. He’s made it illegal to promote homosexuality in theater, film, tv, print that in any way could be seen by youth. In other words anything gay is now pornography. He’s outlawed the adopting of Russian children to any country that has legalized marriage equality. And now it is reported that his next …

Ross Antony – Eine Neue Liebe

Ross Antony is a British reality show star and pop singer who has rather inexplicably (even to him) become one of Germany’s most popular gay artists.  His latest hit is so gloriously cheesy, all I can do is wonder why he didn’t compete with this at Eurovision.  The full title translates as A New Love Is Like A New Life. …

The Week’s Bloomberg Businessweek

The reaction to this week’s cover is mixed: A story about, ahem, underperforming hedge funds isn’t provocative or controversial, but the content could be overshadowed by the cover, writes The Atlantic Wire’s Alexander Nazaryan. “At what point do risque covers actually undermine the reporting they are supposedly advertising?” Nazaryan asks. “And is the purported audience of Businessweek going to be …

Beyonce/Jay-Z Fallout: House Bill Would Further Restrict Travel To Cuba

Jay-Z and Beyonce took a trip to Cuba to celebrate their fifth anniversary earlier this year, prompting nasty criticism from the wingnuts, who really hate the pop superstars for backing Obama. This week the GOP took its revenge. Americans can travel to Cuba only with the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s okay, and trips are generally limited to academic, cultural, …
