Creep of the Week: Georgia Fuller

Pop Quiz: What do you call it when a transgender candidate wins a City Council election in Riverdale, Georgia? Answer: Fraud. At least that is what you call it if you're the losing candidate. Georgia Fuller, who came in third place and, thus, will [...]

Creep of the Week: Mitt Romney

For those of you who may have seen a Mitt Romney campaign ad on http://Gay.com, rest assured, it was a mistake. The New York Times reported last week that Team Mitt ads cropped up on http://Gay.com for two days in August. While the ads only appeared [...]

Creep of the Week: Bob Allen

Creep of the Week On the Orlando Sentinel Web page next to the latest story about Bob Allen's restroom sexcapade was the following Data Central headline: "Are rats or roaches infesting your favorite restaurant?" A more fitting question would have [...]

Creep of the Week: Richard Curtis

Just when you thought it was safe for anti-gays to get gussied up and go trolling dirty bookstores for some man on man action, some unscrupulous prostitute has to go and ruin it for everyone. Which brings us to Rep. Richard Curtis (R-Washington), [...]

Creep of the Week: Robert H. Knight

Knight also can't wrap his brain around the idea that homosexuality isn't synonymous with risky sex and self-hatred. I've never read a Harry Potter book. I've never seen a Harry Potter movie. I've never eaten the Harry Potter Bertie Bott's jelly [...]

Creep of the Week: Larry Craig

Let me make something clear: I don't think Larry Craig should've been arrested for what went down in that Minneapolis restroom. For one thing, nothing (or, for that matter, no one) went down. It's a clear-cut case of entrapment and Craig was foolish [...]

Creep of the Week: Larry Craig

You've got to give it to Larry Craig… er, wait. Let me rephrase that. You've got to hand it to Larry Craig… Shoot, that doesn't sound right either. Hmm… So, how 'bout that Larry Craig? He's the gay man on everybody's lips… Oops. I did it again. For [...]

You don't bring me flowers

Picture this: A young Asian girl purrs and struts before a video camera. She gyrates and poses seductively, running her manicured hands up and down her body. Are we at a strip club? A peep show, perhaps? No, we're in her bedroom. And her bedroom is [...]

Pariah' is no loser

Who do you become when you can't be yourself? This is the question director Dee Rees explores in the film "Pariah." Make no mistake: It doesn't offer a definitive answer. It's far too complex an issue to wrap up in a half hour. No matter what we [...]

Creep of the Week: Family Impact Summit

I don't know what you were doing Sept. 20-22, but if you weren't in Tampa you missed a hell of a party. No, not some silly circuit party with shirtless muscle boys. I'm talking about the Family Impact Summit. There ain't no party like a [...]

Creep of the Week: Fred Thompson

Looks like Fred is going after that coveted fag-bashing constituency. Let the games begin. If you thought that when Fred Thompson threw his hat in the ring as a presidential candidate the GOP had found its moderate savior, think again. Sure he's an [...]
