Creep of the Week: Brett Kavanaugh
Well, gay sex was decriminalized in India, so that's great news. For those of you saying, "Well it's about TIME, India!" I'd like to remind you that the U.S. didn't decriminalize gay sex until 2003 (Lawrence v. Texas, holla!). We're also still [...]
Creep of the Week: Janet Boynes
I am tired this morning as I write this. You see, I stayed up way too late talking to my mother-in-law who is visiting from Florida. We talked about all kinds of things: my son, her only grandson; cancer, I've had it twice; grief, my wife's father [...]
Creep of the Week: Evangelical White House Dinner Guests
Food poisoning sucks, y'all. I just vomited with such force that I'm fairly certain some major internal organs have left my body along with my soul. And, to top it off, I just got a spam text from some "horny single woman" telling me she's all alone [...]
Creep of the Week: Cardinal Raymond Burke
Welp, child sex abuse in the Catholic Church is in the news again and, gosh, wouldn't you know it, the Catholic Church is trying to blame it on the gays. Again. A recent Pennsylvania grand jury report found sex abuse rampant in the church, something [...]
Creep of the Week: Brett Kavanaugh
Imagine that you are applying for a job. Your prospective employer asks to see a resume, references and a cover letter laying out how your experience matches their needs. But you say to the employer, "I'll give that to you, but only after you hire [...]
Creep of the Week: Voter Suppression
They say if you don't vote you can't complain. This is actually not true. You can complain all you want. Especially if you're someone who has been blocked from voting. And in the U.S., we block a whole lot of people from voting. It's supposed to be [...]
Creep of the Week: Bill Schuette
A couple of columns ago I wrote about sitting in a chemo ward getting poison pumped into my body, worried that my insurance was about to run out. My wife's insurance was not available to me since our marriage wasn't recognized in Michigan. And while [...]
Creep of the Week: Star Parker
We may be well into July, but the anti-gay panic that comes to a boil in June as a result of gays having done stole the whole month to celebrate our heathen desires is still simmering. Star Parker Case in point: Star Parker's recent column titled, [...]
Creep of the Week: Trump Voters
The other day I heard a self-proclaimed Democrat who voted for Trump say he didn't like Hillary. "Bernie would have won. We told them we wanted Bernie," he said, referring to Sanders winning the primary election in Michigan. "But they didn't listen [...]
Creep of the Week: Milo Yiannopoulos
Milo Yiannopoulos is not a good person. But, then, who cares, right? It's not like he gives a shit about being a good person. In fact, the fact that he is a terrible person — a deplorable, if you will — is his entire appeal. Without his awfulness [...]
Creep of the Week: Sarah Huckabee Sanders
There's been a lot of talk about "civility" lately which was triggered by the owner of a restaurant asking a woman who is known worldwide for lying on the behalf of a white supremacist administration headed by a man who is trying to, and succeeding [...]
Creep of the Week: Jeff Sessions
Jeff Sessions Out of the blue the other day my 8 year old son asked me, "What would you do to get me back?" "What do you mean?" I asked. "Like, if I was taken." I was actually too stunned to formulate a good answer. "Well, I'd do anything," I [...]
