Gay Cruise Lines To Visit Gay Bashing Island

Why are RSVP and Atlantis supporting the homophobic island of St. Martin/St. Maarten? Contact RSVP Vacations and Atlantis Events, Inc. and let them know it is reprehensible for gay companies to be supporting destinations whose media still refer to GLBT persons as "faggots" and "homos."

I guess it could be an educational tour… "Now over here you have the spot where a fellow gay man's head was caved in with a tire iron."

Majority Polled Say Gay Politicians OK

Come out, come out where ever you are. A new poll shows that 72% of Americans would vote for a gay candidate with whom they agreed on the issues. Hopefully this will give courage to officeholders that are dishonest about who they are. 

It’s Obviously All About Gay Sex

The puritanical, moralist, conservative right is absolutely obsessed with sex.  To this enlightened minority even the slightest mention of gay people or gay couples is purely and totally about sex  Obvisouly, to them, gay people are incapable of something noble such as love. 

Trouble in Republican Paradise

And this just in from a staunch Republican:

"… Capitol Hill is still run by what often seems a bunch of bungling, spend-thrift, unreformable, tin-eared, unimaginative, hysterical pols…" Rich Lowry, National Review Online

Avenue Q Author Says Enough

Jeff Whittey, author of the Tony Award winning comedy Avenue Q, sends a letter confronting Tonight Show host Jay Leno for what he calls "gay-baiting" humor. My favorite Bunny has the goods.

Bush Makes the Political Policy

Maybe we should "rattle sabors" at Iran because it is the right thing to do and not simply because it is politically expediant.  This administration's belief in policy by politics frightens me.
