Creep of the Week: Americans For The Military

Before folks get all up in arms (no pun intended), let me be clear: I am not calling every citizen who slaps a Support Our Troops sticker on their bumper a creep. Far from it. Americans For The Military, a project of the conservative Center for [...]

Creep of the Week: Tony Zirkle

It takes all kinds, as my father says, and nowhere is that more true than politics. After all, politicians need voters and, arguably, voters need politicians. So if you want the people to vote for you, then you need to get out there and meet the [...]

Creep of the Week: Voice of Christian Youth America

Beware! Something "wacky" this way comes… Pineview Elementary in Reedsburg, Wisconsin was a scary place on April 4 when students participated in a pagan ritual called "Wacky Week" and were encouraged to come to school dressed as a senior citizen or [...]

Creep of the Week: Rep. Sally Kern

Poor Sally Kern (R-Okalahoma). Ever since she said that gays were a bigger threat to this country than terrorism she's been under "tremendous assault" by "homosexual anti-Christian hate groups." Well, according to Concerned Women for America's Matt [...]

Adoption under fire

LANSING – Two bills have been introduced in the Michigan House that would impact LGBT people seeking to adopt children or become foster parents. Although the bills do not specifically address LGBT foster and adoptive parents, LGBT leaders call the [...]

Hear Me Out

JC Chasez – Schizophrenic (Jive) Although he's no Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez proves with "Schizophrenic" that N'Sync was not a one-man operation. "Schizophrenic" is all over the place, paying tribute to pop music in all its Regan-era glory. [...]

Faith networking

ANN ARBOR – When one thinks of "faith-based advocacy" one might think of the religious right rather than LGBT rights. If there's one thing the religious right is good at it's organizing and mobilizing against LGBT equality. Michael Gibson-Faith, the [...]

Creep of the Week: Peter Sprigg

You know what would be great? If you could just round up a group of people you don't like and get rid of them. Maybe pack them into some train cars or something. I don't know. Whatever it takes to get them out of the country so that they don't [...]

Creep of the Week: Right Rev. Joseph Devine

"We neglect the gay movement at our peril." These aren't the words of some advisor to the Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama campaigns, nor were these words muttered by some gay rights leader trying to fire up apathetic queers. Nope, these are the [...]

Creep of the Week: Sally Kern

"This stuff is deadly and it is spreading. It will destroy our young people and it will destroy this nation." Pop quiz time. The above quote is from Oklahoma State Representative Sally Kern. What is she talking about? A) Tainted beef, some of which [...]

Creep of the Week: John McCain

You can judge a lot about a man based on the company he keeps. When Louis Farrakhan endorsed Barack Obama this month, Obama was quick to distance himself from the vocally anti-Semitic Nation of Islam leader. "I have been very clear in my [...]
