Bill Donohue Weasels Out Of NYC Pride: I Refuse To Take Their Forced Gay Training

Catholic League blowhard Bill Donohue has really outdone himself with today’s laughable lie. As you probably know, in response to Guinness pulling its support from the St. Patrick’s Day Parade, Donohue demanded permission to march in the NYC Pride parade. Much to his horror, they graciously welcomed him to participate. Take it away, Donohue: I asked to join the parade …

Christian Leader: With Phelps Dead, It’ll Be Easier For Us To Hate LGBT People

“Fred Phelps of the Westboro Church was a huckster who gained notoriety because his over 20 years of  ‘hate’ vigils fulfilled a desired stereotype of conservative Evangelicals. His sordid contribution to history is that he amplified the Kulturkampf against Christian faith and ethics in public life by helping to portray them as intrinsically hateful.

Homocon Matt Drudge Busted Lying

Talking Points Memo calls him out: It seems conservative monolith Matt Drudge is taking some pride in paying the penalty for not purchasing insurance under Obamacare. He’s even got a name for it.

HomoQuotable – Michael Sam

“When I came out last month, I did it with the confidence that my Mizzou ‘family’ would always be there for me. To put it mildly, the love and acceptance I felt was amazing.

TMZ Headline Of The Day

Probably like many of you, I don’t find the ugly details of celebrity relationship squabbles to be very interesting, but what is interesting is that gossip sites and tabloids are treating gay celebrity spats with the same vicious panting that they exhibit when reporting on straight feuds. And mostly they are doing so without leering speculation about bedroom habits or …
