Creep of the Week: Mike Pence
World AIDS Day was Dec. 1, as it has been every Dec. 1 for the last 30 years. And the day before, on Nov. 30, President George H.W. Bush died. While these two things are unrelated, they're also not. Bush was, of course, vice president during the [...]
Creep of the Week: Peter LaBarbera
OMG, you will never believe this but Peter LaBarbera is in jail. Just kidding, kind of. For those of you familiar with LaBarbera, the specter behind Americans for Truth About Homosexuality, you'd be forgiven for assuming that he was in jail for [...]
Creep of the Week: Bob Vander Plaats
When I was in high school it was common to hear kids say "that's so gay," usually to deride something that was thought to be extremely corny or nerdy. Or, well, lame. And I have to admit, I suspect that 4-H got more than its fair share of [...]
Creep of the Week: Donald Trump
Well, we made it. We lived through the 2018 midterm election, an election that saw record turn out. And record voter suppression. Sadly, that voter suppression is still ongoing. In Florida, swamp creature outgoing Gov. Rick Scott is neck and neck [...]
Creep of the Week: Keep MA Safe
By the time you read this the 2018 Midterm Election will be over. We'll find out whether we're surfing the "blue wave" or if we've been slammed against the "red wall." There is a lot on the ballot across the country, not least of which is democracy [...]
Creep of the Week: Donald Trump
There is a group of about 4,000 people walking from Honduras toward the United States. Donald Trump and the Republicans would like you to believe this is an invading army. It isn't. It's by and large unarmed people fleeing violence and poverty. [...]
Creep of the Week: The Trump Administration
Transgender rights are human rights. Full stop. Transgender people are human beings. Full stop. These things are not negotiable. Unfortunately, the people who are leading this country, people who represent literally the worst of America (hateful, [...]
Creep of the Week: Transphobia
Being in middle school is tough. Your body is going through often mortifying changes: acne, body hair, growth spurts. Your hormones are raging. Kids are often relentlessly cruel to each other. You aren't old enough to drive. Your parents are [...]
Creep of the Week: The 50 Senators Who Voted to Confirm Brett Kavanaugh
If you've ever wanted to commit sexual assault, now is your chance. I mean, has there ever been a better time, especially for men assaulting women? We are in the midst of the Kavanaugh Window where no accusation of sexual assault, no matter how [...]
Creep of the Week: Donald Trump
It has been a strange week. For starters, Donald Trump announced that, after an on-again, off-again rollercoaster relationship, he and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un are officially an item now. "I was really being tough and so was he," Trump told [...]
Creep of the Week: Bryan Fischer
Greetings fellow "Demons of Hell" who oppose the lifetime appointment of an accused sex offender to the Supreme Court of the United States. Gosh, is it hot in here or is it just Hades? The American Family Association's Bryan Fischer used his Sept. [...]
Creep of the Week: Brett Kavanaugh
It seems like it was only one week ago that I was writing about how Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh was a nightmare for LGBTQ people. That's because it was last week. And now we find that he is a nightmare for women, too. Who would have [...]
