Creep of the Week: Kevin Swanson
I just finished watching the music video for Taylor Swift's "You Need To Calm Down." It's cute. It's catchy. And all of Big Gay is in it. That it ends with a call to sign a Change.org petition in favor of the Equality Act is nice, though it would be [...]
Creep of the Week: Grayson Fritts
"Can we at least agree that we can hate them?" That's a question posed by Grayson Fritts, a preacher in Knoxville, Tennessee in a sermon that's been making the rounds on the Internet. The "them" in question is LGBTQ people. Fritts not only hates [...]
Creep of the Week: Trump Administration
June is Pride Month, which means anti-LGBTQ folks are losing their goddamn minds. I attended Motor City Pride in Detroit with my wife, our son and my wife's 69-year-old aunt. It was a family affair. There were rainbows galore, men holding hands with [...]
Creep of the Week: Donald Trump
Donald Trump is the most anti-LGBTQ president in recent history. While past presidents might very well have hated LGBTQ people more, Trump has certainly been the most openly hostile. So forgive me if I am very not impressed that Trump Tweeted a [...]
Creep of the Week: Trump Administration
The Trump Administration has declared war on transgender people. This isn't a new revelation, but they have succeeded in dismantling every protection the Obama Administration had put in place for transgender people. You might not have even noticed [...]
Creep of the Week: James Dobson
Hello LGBTQ Americans! Are you ready to enslave "people of faith throughout these United States of America?" Because the U.S. House just passed the Equality Act and, according to James Dobson, that's our job now. I don't know about you, but I'm NOT [...]
Creep of the Week: Rep. John Becker
Hopefully by the time you read this the United States isn't routinely opening up criminal investigations into women who have miscarriages. And I say routinely because there are already cases where women have ended up in prison after their [...]
Creep of the Week: Trump Administration
In a parallel universe somewhere President Hillary Clinton is expanding access to health care in the United States and LGBTQ people are fully protected under the law. Unfortunately, Trump is the president and he, along with the heartless ghouls who [...]
Creep of the Week: Franklin Graham
Hello and welcome to a world where a gay man with the word "butt" in his last name is running for president and it is not a joke. Pete Buttigieg, who has been Mayor of South Bend, Indiana, since 2012, is an absolute contender in a crowded Democratic [...]
Creep of the Week: Donald Trump
As I write this the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris is on fire. It is a terrible loss to anyone who cares about history. Donald Trump's response, however, was to Tweet to try to tell French firefighters how to do their jobs. Trump probably sees the [...]
Creep of the Week: Bryan Fischer
While scrolling through my Twitter feed I stumbled upon a photo of Jonathan Van Ness walking hand in hand through Capitol Hill with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Van Ness, one of the stars of "Queer Eye," was wearing a pink sweater and skirt, [...]
Creep of the Week: Linda Harvey
The Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network's annual Day of Silence is Friday, April 12, and you know what that means. Silence. Well, sort of. The anti-LGBTQ right is always very vocal this time of year. According to GLSEN, the Day of Silence [...]
