http://www.theonion.com/articles/supreme-court-on-gay-marriage-sure-who-cares,31812/ Ten minutes into oral arguments over whether or not homosexuals should be allowed to marry one another, a visibly confounded Supreme Court stopped legal proceedings Tuesday and ruled that gay marriage was “perfectly fine” and that the court could “care less who marries whom.” “Yeah, of course gay men and women can get married. […]
Russell Brand takes on two members of the Westboro Baptist Church. Complete bizarreness ensues. Who knew that Gandhi went to hell!
Fox News continues to create their own bizarre reality. As of the time I’m posting this, an article from Dec 20 in Fox Nation still says “Bikers Turn Out to Protect Newtown Mourners from Left-Wing Westboro Cult”. Yeah right, the ultra-conservative “God Hates Fags” WBC is a left-wing cult. And Fox News is fair and […]
After defeat after defeat, suddenly several states passed amendments and laws giving gays the right to marry. What turned the tide? The answer is in an interesting article on Buzzfeed. I consider myself a moderate, even though in today’s partisan world moderates seem like a dying breed. So it is interesting to read an article […]
© Derf I’ve pretty much stopped posting stories about conservative anti-gay crusaders who are outed, since it really isn’t that ironic any more. Besides, you aren’t hearing that much anti-gay rhetoric from the right this election cycle because they realized that it wasn’t mobilizing their base and was even making them unpopular with everyone else. […]
© Ruben Bolling Does this make Fox News the holy profit prophet of the political creationists?
from Unicorn Booty Personally, I believe that Jesus wouldn’t care one way or another about same-sex marriage, and that some people are just using the Bible to support their own homophobia and sexism. Which is pretty darn unchristian-like.
via bartcop I can’t think of anything to add to this that I haven’t already said. UPDATE: I guess I do have something to add. While the Newsweek cover (sensationally) calls Obama “the first gay president”, an excellent article in Salon points out that James Buchanan, who was president just before Abraham Lincoln, was our […]
I’m really pleased that Obama’s statement that he believes same-sex couples should be allowed to marry is engendering a frank discussion about this issue in America. But what is really interesting is that it is not entirely a conservative v. liberal discussion. Of course, you would expect conservatives like Andrew Sullivan be in favor of […]
It is fascinating to watch how conservatives react to Obama’s announcement that he is in favor of marriage equality for same-sex couples, and opposed to the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). © Mike Thompson Within hours, house Republicans passed a measure that prohibits the Justice department from using taxpayer funds to actively oppose DOMA. Which […]
Arizona Sheriff Paul Babeu is a rising star in the Republican party, largely because of his strong stance against illegal immigrants. His first moment of fame was in 2010 when he appeared in a television ad with John McCain calling for the US government to “complete the danged fence” along the southern border. He’s also […]
Has anyone checked the temperature in hell recently? Fox News host Bill O’Reilly has written a column that I completely agree with! In fact, it is downright reasonable. O’Reilly defends JC Penney’s right to hire Ellen DeGeneres as a spokesperson. She is openly gay, and at least one conservative group is calling for JC Penney […]
© Matt Bors In 2003, Rick Santorum warned that the Supreme Court using the right to privacy to strike down laws against having gay sex in your own home would essentially mean you also have the right to bigamy, polygamy, and incest. I actually have some sympathy for this viewpoint (even though I don’t agree […]
