Bloody Hands
On January 26th, a hero died in Uganda. David Kato, gay activist and marked man, was beaten to death Wednesday, prompting a national outcry in America against the horrible state of affairs for gay Ugandans. How and why this happened is a disturbing tale not just of homophobia in an African country, but also the insidious acts of hatred perpetrated by American evangelicals. To put it simply, there is a trail of blood leading from Uganda right to our doorstep, and it is our task... Read More

Let’s Get these Sisters on the Show!
I love the Scissor Sister just about as much as I do Bowie and that’s saying a lot!

To wit, with the fashion-sense of an over-stuffed Nordstrom Rack clearance fixture during the women’s half-yearly (and with likely the same IQ), the right-wing did their best Joan Rivers red-carpet impersonation vis-a-vis the dress Michelle Obama wore at the recent State Dinner hosted for Chinese President, Hu Jinato.

Dying birds, naughty homosexuals and the Jesus General
For those of you not familiar with the Jesus General, allow me to introduce you. Jesus General, hivsters. Hivsters, the Jesus General - God’s favorite mock-blogger who takes the conservative, Christian movement to the rhetorical woodshed. Think “Best in Show” or “The Office” meets Christian morality in writing. (And by the way, the Jesus General is NOT a homosexual. What would ever give you that idea?) Today, the Jesus General addresses... Read More
