Creep of the Week: Brian Brown

Well, it's 2015 and would you look at that, Christmas came and went, surviving yet another war against its very existence. A war raged by atheists (a.k.a. godless heathens), Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus and any other so-called "religions" or [...]

Creep of the Week: Pat Robertson

Sound the alarms, everybody! Crazy old televangelist Pat Robertson has gone and exposed the deep dark secret of lesbian and gay people and there's no putting that genie back in the bottle now. On the Dec. 17 episode of the "700 Club," a show that [...]

Creep of the Week: Craig James

People who think two guys kissing or two women same-sexing is really icky and makes Jesus cry don't typically say that gays and lesbians should be killed. Prayed for? Check. Sent to an ex-gay camp where they can find it in their hearts to swap [...]

Creep of the Week: Stacy Swimp

LGBT people aren't covered under Michigan's anti-discrimination law. Meaning you could, for example, be fired for being gay and your employer would be perfectly in his or her rights. Your legal recourse would be, to use a technical term, jack [...]

Creep of the Week: The Duggars

I'll admit I've never watched "19 and Counting," the reality show about the Duggar family. But from what I understand, it's a show about Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar, a woman and man so sex-obsessed that they can't stop fucking to the point that [...]

Creep of the Week: Racism

Oh, hey guys. I was just surfing the Interwebs looking for anti-gay idiots I can write snarky comments about. But then I read that Darren Wilson — you know, the cop that shot 18-year-old Mike Brown in Ferguson, Missouri back in August? — will not be [...]

Creep of the Week: Jase Bolger

In Michigan, where I live, it is perfectly legal to fire someone for being gay. Or for being lesbian, bisexual or transgender, for that matter. For years, LGBT people and allies have been trying to amend the state's Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act [...]

Creep of the Week: Jeffrey Sutton and Deborah Cook

I was driving home after picking up my son from school when I heard the news that the 6th Circuit Court had upheld the anti-gay marriage bans in Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee. It felt like a punch in the gut. I looked in the rearview [...]

Creep of the Week: James David Manning

I think we all know that Starbucks is a little, well, gay. I mean, they sell drinks like the Gingerbread Latte, Peppermint Mocha, and the Frappuccino (which is the gayest coffee drink name ever). Not to mention the fact that the company supported [...]

Creep of the Week: Steve King

I don't believe in God. But I have a good enough handle on his discography to know that "Heaven" is one of his greatest hits and that for his fans, Heaven is a B.F.D. So when U.S. Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) told The Jefferson Herald on Oct. 22 that [...]

Creep of the Week: Gina Loudon

Have you ever read something so stupid that you could feel your brain cells committing suicide as you read it? That's how I feel after reading Gina Loudon's Oct. 19 World Net Daily piece titled "8 Reasons Why Democrats Hate Traditional [...]

Creep of the Week: Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder

It's been a tough four years for Michiganders under Gov. Rick Snyder. Especially the gay and lesbian ones. During his debate with Democratic rival Mark Schauer on Oct. 12, Nolan Finley of The Detroit News asked Snyder, "Governor, if the 6th Circuit [...]
