Creep of the Week You know, if you would have asked me a year ago what the most terrible state in the nation for lesbians or gays I would not have said Michigan. I mean, yes, Michigan would have made the list, but not at the coveted #1 spot. Well, [...]

Tony Perkins

Creep of the Week Hello everyone, are you enjoying your officially sanctioned Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month? Having a gay old time ruining life for straight people everywhere, especially the traditionally married [...]

Bryan Fischer

Creep of the Week Anti-gay stalwart Bryan Fischer got out a copy of Webster's Dictionary so that he could remind any and all who have not yet fallen under the spell of the "Homosexual Agenda" that discrimination is actually a good thing. According [...]

Tony Perkins

Creep of the Week I wince every time I see Tony Perkins's face on TV. Perkins, the president of the vehemently anti-gay Family Research Council, often has a microphone shoved in his face whenever there's a marriage equality story. It's as if [...]

Creep of the Week: Heather Wilson

I've been reading about Kenneth Weishuhn, a 14-year-old who recently took his own life after reportedly enduring death threats after coming out as gay at school. Especially heartbreaking was that, according to the Huffington Post, Weishuhn had a [...]

James Loomer

Creep of the Week Have you heard the one about the National Day of Silence? Here's the set up: A teen walks into her high school. A few of her friends are all, "What's up, girl?" And she's all, "…" And they're like, "What's your problem?" And she [...]

Rep. Steve King (R-IA)

Creep of the Week Oh, Steve King. You are a royal creep, indeed. A longstanding foe of LGBT people and anyone who sees LGBT people as, oh I don't know, human, King has once again opened his joker of a mouth to say something incredibly [...]
