Dear Mr. President:
First, let me congratulate you on your win. It was historic, not only as a victory for African Americans (as the MSM seems determined to solely define it), but as a victory for all Americans who have ever been marginalized in any way. I know that race, as a topic, has been both …

8:00: Still 52%, but offically too close to call. And now I get to face the throngs of people who refuse to understand why my enthusiasm over an Obama win is tempered by my disappointment that to an America busy congratulating itself on its enlightenment “all men were created equal” still doesn’t include me.
4:00: 52% …

Obama’s win seems a forgone conclusion. I’m going to sign off for an hour, have another beer and wait for the CA polls to close to find out about Prop 8. I’ll be back if I can still type. Oh, and by the way, one more time, an Obama win doesn’t guarantee life gets any …

The Indianapolis police have yet to label it a hate crime, though the couple had reported the earlier harassment which included having their cable and phone lines cut and epithets being left on …

Apparently, I’ve officially become Flaming Politics’s Special Correspondent on Gay Sex Sites, which is ironic considering the fact that I ain’t getting any (but I digress). Chelsea Handler’s night-time talk show “Chelsea Lately” on E! (note the non-ironic exclamation point. The . Gayest . Punctuation . Mark . EVER!!!) covered the possibly coincidental (yeah, I’m …

The UK’s Daily Mail today revealed that Austria’s Far-Right Wing-Nut Jörg Haider spent the hour before his recent high speed drunken car accident which claimed his life, imbibing in the “notorious” (whatever that means) gay club, Stadtkraemer. Apparently Austria’s answer to David Dukes, despite being married and having children, was notorious in his own right, …

Manhunt just keeps making headlines. After the brouhaha of Manhunt founder Larry Brasile donating money to the McCain campaign, I didn’t think we’d be hearing much about the hook-up website in the mainstream media. Oh, how wrong I was.
The New York Press has an interesting article today that notes that on September 29th, …

One would hope in this day and age that the United States of America would not help fund dangerously violent homophobic groups in other countries. I’m not claiming that the Bush Administration is providing funds to these groups for the express purpose of killing gays and lesbians, but rather the US government is doing nothing …
