National Review Attacks Trans People

“Regardless of the question of whether he has had his genitals amputated, [Laverne] Cox is not a woman, but an effigy of a woman. Sex is a biological reality, and it is not subordinate to subjective impressions, no matter how intense those impressions are, how sincerely they are held, or how painful they make facing the biological facts of life. …

Editorial Of The Day

From the editorial board at the National Review: GOProud is the most conservative gay group of note (perhaps the only gay group rightly called conservative), and that conservatism extends to its circumspection about many planks of the so-called gay-rights agenda. Its participation in past CPACs caused only mild disquiet (indeed, much of the scattered criticism of GOProud’s inclusion at the …

HomoQuotable – Doug Mainwaring

“For a long time I thought, if I could just find the right partner, we could raise my kids together, but it became increasingly apparent to me, even if I found somebody else exactly like me, who loved my kids as much as I do, there would still be a gaping hole in their lives because they need a mom. …

Editorial Of The Day

From the National Review: The irreducible challenge the Second Amendment poses to gun restrictionists is that it does not bestow upon the people a right they previously lacked. It proscribes the government from infringing upon a right the people already have. It is not that the people are allowed to arm. It is that the government is disallowed to disarm …

National Review Alters DNC Photo

The cover of the latest issue of the right-wing National Review features an altered DNC photo to make it appear that delegates are waving “abortion” signs. In fact, the signs read “Forward.” After complaints, the National Review issued a response: The image used on the cover and the contents page of the October 1, 2012, issue of National Review, in …

Headline Of The Day

For once I can’t entirely disagree with the National Review. While my “hotel” isn’t nearly as bad as the one they describe, it’s certainly quite shabby.

National Review Slams Romney’s Homocon

From the right wing National Review: Grenell’s being openly gay is, in itself, of no consequence for his service in the Romney campaign. Nor is the fact that he supports same-sex marriage — if, that is, we were assured that this view would have no influence on American foreign policy. But Grenell has made a particular crusade of the marriage …

The Boldest NOM Lie Yet?

Today NOM’s Thomas Peters published a celebratory column in the National Review which declared their victory in thwarting New York marriage. Even though the battle rages on and there hasn’t been a vote yet. National Review has since yanked the column and replaced it with something (slightly) less lie-filled. Who’s the editor at that joint?

The National Review On Marriage

The editorial board of the wingnut National Review posted a lengthy essay on same-sex marriage today. Here’s a tired, cliched excerpt: Same-sex marriage would introduce a new, less justifiable distinction into the law. This new version of marriage would exclude pairs of people who qualify for it in every way except for their lack of a sexual relationship. Elderly brothers …

National Review: Palin For RNC Chairman

The National Review thinks Sarah Palin would be a great replacement for Michael Steele as chairman of the Republican National Committee. This is a job for Sarah Palin. Palin would be a much better RNC chairman than presidential candidate or freelance kingmaker. She’d raise tons of money and help recruit good candidates, i.e., she’d excel at doing the things Steele …

HomoQuotable – Andrew Sullivan

“Try never mentioning your spouse, your family, your home, your girlfriend or boyfriend to anyone you know or work with – just for one day. Take that photo off your desk at work, change the pronoun you use for your spouse to the opposite gender, guard everything you might say or do so that no one could know you’re straight, …

“Legislating Immorality”

The drooling stuffed shirts at National Review continue to channel the rotting corpse of William F. Buckley: Where do they go from here? Gay activists are already using the legal system to try to revoke the tax-exempt status of the Mormon church. If you believe that churches and synagogues, priests and rabbis won’t eventually be sued for their statements on …
