POSTED: My Third Column For Pride Life

Ted Shoebat: JMG Is A “Filthy Sodomite”

Rats. I rather preferred his dad’s term: “sodomite blasphemer.” Anyway, I’m continuing to get pulled into nutjob Christian infighting. Shoebat writes: Peter LaBarbera was blocked from entering Canada, and he goes before the media showing how persecuted he is, but yet he wants to block me — a Christian — from being in a documentary for being more politically incorrect …

I Will Hold You Ten Times

As longtime readers know, there are four or five JMG entries that I repost every year. This is one of them. My dear friend Daniel Johnson, who threw the most kickass Groundhog Day birthday parties for himself, would have been 59 years old today. His was a life that burned brightly and I am illuminated still. Daniel Johnson, 1957-1997. I …

TRAILER: Cauke For President

Yesterday Titan Media announced that it will pay $1M to disgraced former GOP Rep. Aaron Schock if he agrees to perform in one of their “hardcore” films.

Dance Of The Sugar Plum Lesbians

This story makes its twelfth annual appearance on JMG…. Grand Central Terminal functions as the mechanical heart of midtown New York City, pumping out several thousand workers and tourists on one beat, then sucking in several thousand more on the next. The rhythms of the terminal are fascinating. Beat. Four thousand, inbound from New Haven. Beat. Three thousand, outbound to …

Matt Barber Quietly Deletes All Columns By Gay Death Penalty Advocate Theodore Shoebat

Back in October 2014, Matt Barber’s BarbWire ran a column by Phillip Stallings, who advocates for the “lawful executions of the sodomites.” The column was deleted the following day after Right Wing Watch published an expose of Stallings’ views. Barber then tweeted that he’d been unaware of Stallings’ “appalling position.” In February 2015 BarbWire ran a column by Tim Brown, …
