How Not To Say Gay

This article will do no good. The right-wing haters are on to us liberal, politically-correct fascists. They use the style guides on how not to be offensive precisely to know how to be as offensive as possible. More defeating still, is that we who care about words that hurt are also largely in the group […]

A Final Status For Gay Marriage?

It’s amazing to think, given the state of Israeli-Palestinian relations these days, that back when Bill Clinton was president and Arafat was alive, people were talking about the end-game in a Palestine-Israel peace process. Jerusalem was the non-negotiable item that somehow, sometime would have to be negotiated. Ideas were floated. There was an atmosphere of […]

Men stare at crotches more than women

This is hardly surprising. I am not one to jump to the conclusion that most men are a little bit gay, at least no more than Kinsey did. This might, with some study, help explain why men are so much more homophobic than women.

Sen. Chris Dodd Calls For Repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell

This appears to be a campaign message, but I don’t doubt Dodd’s sincerity. Because of perceived hawkishness, I’ve never thought of him as being liberal in the broadest sense. It’s fitting that he makes a credible hawkish argument for ending discrimination against gays in the military.
Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, by the way, was a bad […]

Gay Pornstar Rod Majors aka Republican Darling Matt Sanchez Exposed on Olbermann

The interview on the video with Max Blumenthal was not the first mention of Sanchez’s past, which seems to substantially have come out in the blogosphere. Sanchez acknowledges working as “Rod Majors” on the blog, Joe. My. God. He now claims to be straight, or in his words “bad at being gay.”
I don’t fault […]

Reprehensible Ann Coulter Video With Alternative F-Bomb

Here’s the video. Somehow I thought she might have some charisma or something that contributes to her minor success. I guess I was wrong.

Expletive Deleted: Coulter Attacks John Edwards

I suppose I should be more enthusiastic about John Edwards now that Ann Coulter has called him “a faggot.” I feel a strange, sympathetic bond toward the candidate who is attacked with the same word I’ve sometimes been attacked with. It seems the haters in the world are actually trying to push that word to […]

George Takei Spoofs Tim Hardaway’s ‘Phobia

Some days blogging is too easy. This will be everywhere in moments, but it’s irresistible. Who knew StarTrek’s Sulu had it in him?

A World Without Liberals

The site noted in Paly’s post, quoted below, has additional nasty stuff on it. Paly notes irony in the text of a t-shirt sold on the site. I might congratulate right-wingers for discovering irony, finally, even when it’s turned against people like me. Unfortunately, much of their stuff seems to like to dance on the […]

Schwarzenegger Plans to Veto Gay Marriage Again

Arnold Schwarzenegger, Gray Davis’s usurper, says if the California Legislature passes a marriage equality bill for a second time he will veto it a second time.
Speaking to a YMCA youth conference, he’s quoted by the San Jose Mercury News, saying,

I wouldn’t sign it because the people of California have voted on that issue.

This […]

Time for Hillary, Edwards, and Obama to “Grow a Pair” on GLBT Issues

I’m no more homophobic than the next gay man — that is to say, while I’ve internalized the negative and stereotypical images and language that I’ve been exposed to all of my life, I have the intellect and the discipline to compartmentalize and not to be defined by them. I truly and fully embrace my […]

Time To Get Off Our Asses and Do Something

I’m talking to me and I’m talking to you. Some folks are doing everything they can. This is for the rest of us. I sit in my comfy dining room or home office and tap away posting blog entries. It’s great for venting bile and preaching to the choir. Most of my hits in the […]

I Like Being Gay

There was a book that was helpful to me in the early 1990s that I thought of yesterday, in my desire to explore something more of faith or humanism on Sundays, rather than political speech. The book was On Being Gay by Brian McNaught. I knew the place I wanted, a chapter called “I like […]

What Hillary Said About Civil Unions

“I support civil unions.” That’s what Hillary Clinton said. I listened carefully to the video because there has been so much discussion in the blogosphere. Lots of folks like me were pleased by her statement. The negatives are basically because the word “marriage” was not used. What these writers failed to notice is that “no […]

Saw Hillary. She is Hot!

OK, first thing, I’m gay, so I’m really not talking about the Senator’s physical attributes. I leave for Bill and his contemporaries among straight men to appreciate her on those terms.
Last night I complained about not being able to connect with a souped up mac at the office. So tonight I’m at home, on […]
