I'm beginning to think there are more closeted gay Republicans than there are open Democrat ones, since it seems as though every other day some anti-gay rights crusader gets caught trying to have sex with someone of the same gender. Today's totally disgraced hypocrite is Indiana State Rep. Phillip Hinkle, who was caught trying to hire a male prostitute on Craigslist. I say try, since the entire ordeal was j ...

Oh crazy bigoted religious people...I'm not sure they know what they want, sometimes. Take this clown, Pastor Scott Lively. Last year he came under fire for publishing a book called "The Pink Swastika", where he claimed Nazi Germany was being run by homofascists (his word). He was laying low for a little while, but now he's back to blaming gays for everything. This time, he believes they will bring about th ...

A few month ago, the government had promised to introduce "Ethic Classes" for students in Aussie schools that refused to take the mandatory religious education lessons. Since that time, the government has been trying to cap wage increases for government employees, and a clever politician by the name of Fred Nile is using this opportunity to pressure the government into torpedoing the Ethics Classes in excha ...

Change, even the important kind, takes time. It isn't easy for people to change their minds, especially when they've been told their whole life that [insert minority here] are evil, wicked, bad, or acting against the will of whatever imaginary friend they have. Afew weeks ago, New York joined the growing list of States that now allow gay couples the same rights as everyone else, and so the "National Organiz ...

If you've ever hated your history professor and wondered if the crusty old bastard had any real understanding of how historical facts are uncovered, you can imagine the pain of having Professor Roberto De Matti as a teacher: A professor is facing calls to resign after blaming the collapse of the Roman Empire on homosexuality. Roberto De Mattei, a devout Roman Catholic, had already raised eyebrows by saying ...

When you hear the words "disturbing trend", do you think of society's growing acceptance of same sex unions? If you do, then odds are you're being ostracized by friends and family members who feel embarrassed by your outdated views. A number of us have moved beyond the Bronze Age and recognize homosexuality as a development of evolution, the same way your eyeballs and fingernails are. A gay person can no mo ...

Whenever I hear some stupid rhetoric about soldiers dying in a foreign land for our "freedom", I'm reminded that we really aren't accustomed to the kind of actual sacrifices we have to make to maintain our liberties. In truth, freedom isn't about the kind of conflicts that involve bombs and bullets: it's about the right to say what you want, even when it happens to be horribly offensive. The Supreme Count r ...

Homophobic crime is on the rise in England, and as you might have already guessed, the culprits are hiding behind a veil of religion to justify their bigotry. The backlash is due to the growing recognition of gay rights, both to marry and adopt, and this has prompted groups motivated by improvable dogma to retaliate. One unidentified group is putting up stickers that say "gay free zone" along with a quote f ...

It doesn't get simpler than that, does it folks? Gay marriage isn't about creating new laws; it's about upholding the Constitution, and granting the same rights to every citizen in the Republic. Christian Evangelicals and Catholics like to dance around the fact this segment of society is still second class citizens. They try to play on our prejudices, but this tactic will ultimately fail, and splinter their ...

You hear it over and over again: Christians are complaining as gays gain rights (the same rights as everyone else, in fact), they begin to lose theirs. More particularly, their "right" to openly discriminate is being challenged, and as people get sacked or lose career opportunities because of their bigotry, they're crying foul. Recently, a Christian doctor, Hans-Christian Raabe, who had been foolishly appoi ...
