Looks like some priests aren’t content to just blame homosexuality for the rampant abuse of children; Bernardo Álvarez, the Bishop of Tenerife in Spain, had this to say about the recent scandals: There are 13 year old adolescents who are under age and who are perfectly in agreement with, and what’s more wanting it, and if [...]

I dream of the day when I no longer have to say the name Bill Donohue, for every time i do, a little bit of sick makes its was into my mouth. The fact that mainstream media continues to give him a platform to speak proves how shallow and uneducated they are. The latest words [...]

I’m going to make no bones about this; if you find homosexuality repulsive, wrong, unnatural, weird, disgusting, freakish or sinful, you are a bigot. Now, the good news is that all of us are a little bigoted in a bunch of usually unconscious ways, so you’re not alone. In all honesty, before my buddy Jeff [...]
