What are we?
Sunday, June 5th, 2011Seriously. I want to ask this question of Republicans. What, exactly, are gay people to them? A few weeks ago, The Advocate, a leading GLBT magazine, posted a story about how Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota) was so ga-ga to meet Chris Colfer, the actor from Glee (he plays Kurt).
