When Dan Savage started his "It Gets Better" Campaign in September of 2010, he hoped it would let bullied teens know life improves over time, and the bullying they experience in school is only temporary. For the most part, these videos are meant to speak to young gays and lesbians in high school, where the majority of bullying takes place. One serious exception to this rule is Brigham Young University, one ...

When you think of the word courage, what's the first thing to cross your mind? If you happen to be gay and a Catholic living in Connecticut, that word is about to take on a disturbing new meaning: The Archdiocese of Hartford, Connecticut, this month is beginning a program that ministers to gays and lesbians...The Vatican-endorsed program, called Courage...was started in 1980 by the late Terence Cardinal Coo ...

"Every American has the same rights" Is that so? It certainly doesn't feel that way, especially when your government makes laws specifically designed NOT to allow gays and lesbians to marry. Well, to be fair, she claims they are allowed to get married: but it must be to someone of the opposite sex. See, we're all equal! We all get to conform to what Christian nutjobs like Michele wants us to be. You can fee ...

Over the weekend, the Pope arrived in Germany on a tour designed to try and recruit Protestants and other estranged Christians who have grown tired of their religion's increasing acceptance of homosexual marriage. Knowing, too, the value of family and marriage, we as Christians attach great importance to defending the integrity and the uniqueness of marriage between one man and one woman from any kind of mi ...

You're a gay man, unfortunate enough to be born in the insane cult of Orthodox Judaism. One day, you make the mistake of actually telling someone like Rabbi Arele Harel about your sexual orientation and your desire to start a family. His solution, as you might have guessed, is just about the worst idea anyone can have: He sets you up with a lesbian stuck in the same cult: Potential candidates email Harel, w ...

There are two things that will never change in this world: 1) people will always have reasons to hate others, and 2) religions will always provide a way to make this exceedingly easy. Take the Mormon Church for example: they've been diligently working to ensure that gays and lesbians aren't allowed to marry out of the ridiculous notion that doing so "violates" the sanctity of marriage. Because of a few pass ...

Oh Ted, when will you stop living an atrocious lie. The former pastor, disgraced after he was caught doing meth with a gay prostitute (who made a killing selling a book about the affair), now claims he's really just bisexual in an interview with GQ magazine. Although he might be telling the truth, I find it far more likely poor Ted is busy trying to reconcile his latent homosexuality with the fact he's marr ...

I want to make something clear from the onset: yes, it's true if you're an evangelical Christian, it does not necessarily follow you personally support the maltreatment of gays around the world. However, and this is my main point, you are part of an institution whose views and opinions regarding homosexuality shape a culture of hatred and murder. You cannot escape this reality; any money, time and effort sp ...

You might recall a few months ago, a Ugandan tabloid called "Rolling Stone" published an article identifying a number of homosexuals in an attempt to entice violence. David Kato brought these homophobic bastards to court, and won. His victory, however, was short-lived, as his infamy in the country eventually led to his murder. David Kato, the advocacy officer for Sexual Minorities Uganda, was bludgeoned to ...

Do you remember all those thousands of birds that dropped dead a little while ago? Scientists are still trying to figure out what happened (I'm willing to bet money it has something to do with Climate Change, but I'm no expert). While serious folks with brains are busy solving this mystery, religious nutjobs are jumping on this story as proof "God" is mad about something, and sending us a message by annihil ...
