Naples News Columnist Pamela Grothaus: “I’m Going For JMG Bigot Of The Year”

Last week we crowned Naples News columnist Pamela Grothaus our Bigot Of The Day for her shrill article complaining that “homosexuals inform me of their homosexuality within minutes of our introduction.” Today Grothaus fires back in a new column that she’s hoping to be named the JMG “Bigot Of The Year.” As a result of my last blog post against …

How We Got The News

Originally posted on December 8th, 2005. “Oh, good grief! Why do you insist on having a Slurpee after going out drinking? It’s gross.” “I’ll be right back,” my roommate said and slammed the door of my car. I kept the engine running and fiddled with the radio, trying to find the new Donna Summer single we’d heard just heard at …

JMG Wins Village Voice 2010 Web Award For “Best Political Blog”

Last night I attended the Village Voice 2010 Web Awards where JMG was awarded Best Political Blog! I was asked not to blog about it until after the event and I don’t even know who my competitors were, but whatevs! The downtown Manhattan awards show was a hipster mosh-pit and didn’t feel very gay at all, but lots of folks …

Election Returns Tonight On JMG

I’ll be up very late tonight (as long as I can keep my eyes open) to report election results, particularly those that will impact LGBT issues. Of course, the final result of many races may not be known for weeks, as vote-by-mail states only had to have today’s postmark for ballots to be valid. Follow JMG on Twitter, where I’ll …

The Revenge Of Benny Hinn

From today’s inbox…. Hi Joe, You wrote: “Prosperity gospel televangelist and ‘faith healing’ scam artist Benny Hinn was unable to heal the desire of his wife to get the fuck away from him.” No one speaks against a man of God and be justified. God defends the righteous and will return in due time to reward the wicked. You still …

I Just Got Fired By AOL News

In their “11 Famous Politically Correct Firings” story, AOL News names me as the person canned from Sen. Saxby Chambliss’ staff for writing anti-gay hate speech on some homo blog. Oh well, there are worse things about me on the internet. UPDATED: AOL News has updated the story with a correction (misspelling my name, which they got right when I …

JMG Thanks Reader Dave Evans!

As a very active week on JMG comes to a close (almost 200 posts!), I’d like to take a moment to thank reader Dave Evans of Cleveland, who via his video news clipping work provides us with many breaking items of LGBT interest. Dave scours the cable outlets and chat shows for relevant items and often has them posted to …

Alan Colmes: 2PM Next Thursday

As I mentioned on Facebook a few days ago, I’m going to be a guest on Fox News’ Alan Colmes Show, but that appearance has been moved from 2PM today, to the same time next Thursday. As you may know, Colmes is the sole voice of sanity on Fox, but still…it’s Fox…so I’m taking garlic and stakes to the studio, …

HomoConQuotable – Christopher Barron

“He [Jervis] is a spineless cyber bully who I have seen pick on random gay conservatives – not even people who are public figures, but just random average gay folks who happen to have political opinions different then his. He is someone who should be uniformly shunned by everyone in our community for taking a page out of the Fred …

SLIDESHOW: San Francisco JMG Meet-Up

I had a fantastic time meeting a ton of JMG readers at last night’s meet-up at the Castro’s Edge Bar. Many longtime JMG’ers were in the house, including Huntington, Castro Craig, Sean Chapin, KitchenBeard, and NoCal Drummer. Wacky SF performance artist Philip Huang even showed up! I was sorta pulled in ten directions at once, so I hope I got …

Glitch Report

As a few of you have pointed out by email, a handful of posts from the last week seem to have vanished. The problem was first noticed last night and appears to be continuing. I’m checking into this, but nothing has been noted on the host’s “issues” page thus far. The posts do appear to remain in the RSS feed. …

Christwire’s JMG Pulp Novel

Christwire’s Stephenson Billings has created a fleet of amusing pulp novel covers taking jabs at various bloggers, websites, and personalities. I am opening the door to their obsessions and predilections, their narcissism and their lust, the very things that they are too afraid to admit to themselves. If today’s so-called artists and thinkers had the energy and wherewithal to actually …

Sen. Saxby Chambliss Just Called Me To Offer His “Sincerest Apologies”

I just got off the phone with Sen. Saxby Chambliss, who said he was calling to personally apologize for the “All faggots must die” comment left here on JMG last Tuesday. I’ll paraphrase what Chambliss said to me, but reporters, please don’t excerpt any of this as his exact words. CHAMBLISS: “Joe, I don’t know if you’re Republican or Democrat, …
