Shakespeare’s Sister has an excellent post up about a recent, and largely unreported, trio of gay-bashing incidents in California and Maine. Her questions: At what point does this become an “epidemic?” And, better yet, when do we start blaming it on the rhetorical Republican gay-bashing that appears every year come election time? (Via Crooks and […]

Much as we’re loath to write about the lady again, we were amazed by the follow-up to her “Clinton is gay” theory. This time, she showed up on Chris Matthews’ Hardball where he asked her about her recent on-air ramblings on human sexuality. Before she repeated her claims about the ex-prez, she joked, “I don’t […]

Oh, let us count the ways. Queerty links to a story from Meade, Kansas about a straight couple, J.R. and Robin Knight, who run a bed and breakfast and recently started flying a rainbow flag outside their home. That was all it took for the local gentry to hit the roof: a radio station pulled […]

Why? Because he’s slept with a lot of women. Now, we generally try to pay as little attention to Coulter as possible, but this one was just too damn good. Wonkette had advance notice about Coulter’s appearance on Donny Deutsch’s CNBC talk show last night. Apparently Deutsch, likely sensing some juicy lunacy from his guest, […]

State Supreme Court Justice William P. Polito was presiding over a case that had a trans man from Rochester seeking to change his name from “Sarah Rockefeller” to “Evan Rockefeller.” Simple enough, right? Not for the judge. He denied the petition, insisting that the trans man provide medical evidence that he was transitioning because otherwise, […]

After the Massachusetts high court allowed a gay marriage-banning ballot initiative to move forward, we started getting that sinking feeling. Especially because it was looking like the anti-gay-marriage forces had the votes necessary to get the ball rolling. (The initiative would have to get votes from a quarter of the state legislators in two consecutive […]

We’re not sure why Alexandra Jacobs’ review of Mary Cheney’s tanking memoir Now It’s My Turn is running now in the New York Times Book Review, but it is a pretty pithy put-down. Among her choice nuggets: noting the wierd heebee-jeebees Cheney seems to get from the word lesbian and her arms-length reference to her […]

Could Gov. Arnold make it through an entire speech to the Log Cabin Republicans in California pledging his support to gay causes without once mentioning that he vetoed the only gay marriage law to have been passed by a state legislature? Why yes, he can. Sounds like Maria Shriver looked fabulous though.

Next weekend’s EuroPride parade in London will feature a very-cool first: gay sailors from the Royal Navy marching in uniform. The British Navy was the only branch of the military to give permission to servicemembers to wear their official togs, although gay people are allowed to serve openly throughout. Even better, the Navy’s banking on […]
