Showtime, the cable station that brought us "Queer As Folk," has apparently heard the cries of frustrated lesbians everywhere that Lindsay and Melanie just don't get enough screen time on QAF. What about our needs? Well girls, those needs are about [...]

Creep of the Week: Mat Staver

Like many a homo, I am anxiously awaiting the Supreme Court's ruling on whether or not my marriage is allowed by law or a Satan-spawn union of evil. Obviously, I am hoping for the former so I can do things like be on my wife's health insurance and [...]

Creep of the Week: Dolce & Gabbana

As I write this I'm taking a box cutter to my collection of Dolce & Gabbana handbags, shoes and frocks (wait, are frocks a thing? It seems like something Dolce & Gabbana would put their name on). Take that very rich and famous fashion [...]

Creep of the Week: Ben Carson

Years ago, long before her role as Big Boo on "Orange is the New Black," Lea DeLaria had a bit in her stand-up act that went something like, "Say what you want about prison, but it's a great place to meet girls." It was, of course, a joke that is [...]

Creep of the Week: Linda Harvey

After years of arguing that being gay is not a choice and that gay people can't magically become straight via a wish and a prayer, I now have to admit that I was wrong. On Feb. 1, 2015 I found the strength and will to finally become a heterosexual [...]

Creep of the Week: Mike Huckabee

Good news, Jews. Former Arkansas Governor and Fox TeeVee host Mike Huckabee isn't going to force you to sell "bacon-wrapped shrimp" in your delis when he becomes President of the United States of Christmerica. He won't make you sell bagels and lox [...]

Creep of the Week: Sally Kern

Mental illness is a serious, unfairly stigmatized issue in this country. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, one in four Americans deal with some kind of mental illness yearly and many receive no treatment. So please know that I'm [...]

C.B. Embry Jr.

Creep of the Week I don't like public restrooms. There's just something really, well, icky about sharing a space with strangers where everybody does their grossest business. I don't want to hear the woman in the next stall evacuate her gaseous [...]

Creep Of The Week: Randy Thomasson

Desperate times call for desperate measures, and these are desperate times for anti-gay "marriage defenders" like Randy Thomasson of Save California, an organization dedicated to children and families, just not gay ones. On Jan. 7, Thomasson sent [...]
