Creep of the Week: Louie Gohmert
Target. It's kind of a weird name for a store. I mean, a target is something you shoot at. But say the word "target" anywhere in America and chances are people will think, "I need to buy some underwear, milk and a laundry basket" before they think [...]
Creep of the Week: Ryan Anderson
Hello gay and lesbian readers. I'd like to talk to you about your pathetic lives devoid of friends or family. It's hard when the only way you know how to connect with other humans is to mash your identical genitals together. Which is why you're [...]
Creep of the Week: Tom Casperson
Recently a friend of a friend posted an Advocate article to Facebook about a woman being kicked out of the women's restroom at Fishbone's restaurant in Detroit because she looked like a man. She wasn't a man. She was a cisgender woman with short [...]
When Mom is a legal stranger
When a heterosexual married couple has a baby, whether intentionally or by accident and whether or not the husband is the biological father, both parents are automatically legally recognized. This is not true for same-sex couples in Michigan who [...]
Creep of the Week: Dan Forest
Did you hear the one about how North Carolina is a great place for women and girls? Because North Carolina just passed HB2, the most discriminatory anti-LGBT legislation in the country. To protect the ladies! Duh. You see, as the state's lieutenant [...]
Creep of the Week: Michael Brown
Backlash. That's what we're seeing here in the flurry of anti-LGBT (and heavy on the T) legislation that's been proposed and passed across the nation (or, in the case of Georgia, vetoed. Thank you, Gov. Deal). North Carolina is a shining turd of an [...]
Creep of the Week: Laurie Higgins
It's almost that time of year again: April 15 is the annual Day of Silence where students across the country choose to spend the day without speaking in order to call attention to anti-LGBT bullying in schools. And this year, like every year, the [...]
Creep of the Week: One Million Moms
Alert! Alert! All One Million Moms to their battle stations! A new TV show has a gay. I repeat: a new TV show has a gay. Until President Ted Cruz makes such defilements of the small screen a Federal Hate Crime against Christians, we must join our 2 [...]
Creep of the Week: Donald Trump
A recent episode of "This American Life" featured a gay teenager who was totally gay for Donald Trump. This kid's parents were totally opposed to him being gay and he cited his number one issue as being marriage equality. He believed wholeheartedly [...]
Creep of the Week: Pat McCrory
I'm tired of talking about toilets, everybody. I don't love using public restrooms, mostly because of the ick factor and lack of total privacy. But I sure am glad that public restrooms exist. And if you, too, are a Peeing American, then you likely [...]
Creep of the Week: Manny Pacquiao
Let's pretend that it's your job to get punched in the head over and over and over again by muscular men who train for hours every day with the specific goal of hitting you harder. Granted, you also hit these men in the head, but that doesn't [...]
Creep of the Week: Log Cabin Republicans
As a kid, I loved Log Cabin pancake syrup. Not only that, but I thought real maple syrup was gross. Then I grew up. And I no longer believed the dumb things I believed when I was young and stupid — like corn syrup with brown dye being superior to [...]
