« Previous EntriesA trip to Atlanta reveals an awesome truth
Thursday, April 4th, 2013Tweet I travel for work, and right now my job takes me to North Carolina every week. I fly in on Sunday nights and fly home on Thursday afternoons. If you’ve ever been to an airport, you know that there’s going to be time to kill between your flights. In trying to get in my [...]
WHO keeps putting these people into office?
Thursday, April 4th, 2013Tweet Sometimes I wonder about the collective psyche of the American public. I seriously have questions for anyone who voted for Louie Gohmert (R-TX), Steven King (R-IA), or Michele Bachmann (R-MN). Because headlines like these – “Louie Gohmert Links Gay Marriage, Bestiality” – seem to be the norm for these folks. I truly don’t get [...]
An Open Letter to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas
Tuesday, April 2nd, 2013Tweet Justice Thomas, I know that you are not a man that finds himself on the liberal or progressive side of arguments. And I know that you sit on the one of the most important courts in America. But I’m asking you to stand up for your fellow citizens just this once; your LGBT brethren. [...]
One of these men is going to be very, very wrong
Tuesday, March 26th, 2013Tweet There’s a tale of competing headlines this morning. Here’s they are: The first one is from JoeMyGod.com (article here), and the second is from Towleroad.com (article here). Basically, these two men, who are staples of the Republican party, are telling two very different stories about the future of their party. Bush, [...]
Putting Party Above Self-Preservation
Tuesday, October 23rd, 2012Tweet There’re noble things that you do. Like when Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, then turned to an aid (allegedly) and said, “We have lost the South for a generation.” See, it was important, and it was right to sign the Civil Rights Act. Noble acts aren’t just for Presidents, though. There [...]
So here’s who is going to be Romney’s VP running mate and why
Tuesday, August 7th, 2012Tweet Romney knows that he’s milquetoast in front of the American public. He’s also fighting off the “wimp” factor, and yes, there’s still those pesky tax returns that still keep creeping up. Oh, and his inability to connect with anyone who makes less than $500,000 per year is a bit of a harsh buzz, too. [...]
This shit has to STOP
Tuesday, July 24th, 2012Tweet It’s like there’s a gay bashing every other day in the United States. And it’s got to stop. People who say that gays aren’t like blacks when it comes to civil rights struggles are wrong. Because yesterday’s lynching of a black man for talking to a white woman is today’s beating of a woman [...]
In which I disagree about the fundamental differences of boycotting
Monday, July 23rd, 2012Tweet So one of the regular blogs that I read is JoeMyGod, which is a really good source for pretty much all things GLBT and equality related. This morning, Joe posted an excerpt from an opinion piece in The Atlantic by Jonathan Merritt, where Mr. Merritt discussed how we really should become level-headed in our [...]
Someone at the USOC needs to be fired
Thursday, July 12th, 2012Tweet The USOC of course being the United States Olympic Committee. Why? Because someone made the decision to give the contract for Team America’s official uniform to Ralph Lauren, and then Ralph Lauren turned around and got the garments made in China. China. Team America is being outfitted by uniforms manufactured in China. Some people use the [...]
Shame on you, Lindsey Graham!
Wednesday, July 11th, 2012Tweet Oh this is just disgusting… We all know taxes are a necessary thing; if you want the ability to call the police, call the fire department, drive on a road, or do just about anything else in our society, you have to pay your share of taxes. I agree with Joe Biden from the [...]
