Whew!

Believe it or not, I’m at low-risk for demonic possession.  That’s a surprise and relief.  More details coming soon.

Nice Work If You Can Get It

How’s this for a plan:

1.  Send people letters and email, pleading for money to fight a terrible (yet non-existent) danger.

2.  Use that money to finance another round of dishonest pleas for money.

3.  Repeat steps 1 and 2, month after month, year after year, while taking a “management fee” for [...]

The Outrageous Immorality of the Anti-gay Movement

I’m a dope, a patsy, a dupe. Or at least tragically naive: Somehow, it seems, I’m once again surprised by the unabashed dishonesty of our worst anti-gay opponents.

This time it’s Dr. Rick Fitzgibbons of NARTH, writing a long piece about same-sex adoption. It has a small section titled, “The children do suffer,” with this opening:

There [...]

A Lousy Lay

JoeMyGod alerts us to Paul Angelo, a gay matchmaker who wants us to stop having anal sex:

He started yelling at me.

Yelling.

So just a quick note to anyone [...]

NOM's Christmas Gift: Deepening Desperation

NOM reports that 61% of New Hampshire voters want to repeal the state’s recognition of same-sex marriage. Disappointing, but we have to remember that even this represents progress when compared to public sentiment a decade ago, so –

Wait, hold on, let me check…

So sorry. My mistake. NOM is reporting that 60% of New Hampshire Republicans [...]

Merry Christmas!

Lucas and Chloe look up from their naps just long enough to wish you all a happy holiday.

Watch this. Just watch this.

Is Janice Shaw Crouse Smarter than a Fifth Grader?

I’ve written about anti-gay activist Janice Shaw Crouse in the past.  More than once, in fact. Her arguments tend to be so off-the-mark it’s hard to decide whether she’s deliberately dishonest or just heroically incompetent.

She’s at it again. In the midst of a calm, measured, and false presentation against homosexuality, she says this, as if [...]
