Creep of the Week Are all Catholic priests child molesters? No, of course not. Are some Catholic priests child molesters? Yes, indeed. But you know what? There are child molesters in schools and in other religious organizations and stuff, so we [...]

Bob Vander Plaats

A common talking point of anti-gay activists is that being gay is a public health risk. Whether trying to derail anti-discrimination legislation, protesting against letting gays marry each other, or trying to shut down a GSA at a local high school, [...]

Joe Wilson

Creep of the week Oh, Joe Wilson, shut up. I'm sorry. That was childish. Then again, that's apparently the level of discourse Wilson operates on. He is, after all, the guy who shouted, "You lie!" during the president's address to Congress two [...]

Creep of the Week Have you punched a gay middle-schooler for Christ today? Well, you'd better do it fast, because Barack Obama is trying to take this God-given duty and religious right away from you. It's no secret that LGBT students get bullied at [...]

Rick Santorum

Creep of the Week I'm sure glad my last name isn't Santorum. For one thing, I wouldn't want to be related to Rick Santorum. For another thing, his name means "The frothy mix of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex." [...]

John Boehner

Creep of the Week Well, he did it. President Barack Obama announced his administration will no longer defend the Defense of Marriage Act in court, essentially firing up the big Gay Bat Signal over America, letting gays know that it's finally safe [...]

Vision America

Creep of the Week Every year, the annual Conservative Political Action Conference is a hot bed of anti-gay ranting. CPAC 2011 was no exception, despite the fact that GOProud, a gay Republican organization that thinks the Log Cabin Republicans are [...]
