Creep of the Week: Kevin Swanson

The last time I was snacking on some Teddy Grahams I thought to myself, "These little bears sure are cute. Hey, the bear on the box has a t-shirt on, that's weird. He looks more like a human in a bear costume than a real bear. Hey, some gay men [...]

Creep of the Week: Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant

If you live in a state where something shitty is happening, you always have the reassurance that, hey, at least you don't live in Mississippi. When it comes to losing, Mississippi really goes all out. According to MSNBC's Melissa Harris-Perry, [...]

Creep of the Week: Steve King

America is a tough place for sensitive men. Crying is forbidden unless a guy wants to be seen as some kind of fag. But there are a few select places where guys can get a pass if they shed a few tears. Weddings, for example. Everybody cries at [...]

Creep of the Week: Gina Miller

Sound the alarm! Radical homosexuals are coming for your God-given rights! And they probably are armed with pie tins full of whipped cream and/or glitter. If you don't want to take my word for it, then surely the words Gina Miller wrote for a Feb. [...]
