Marcus Bachmann and the Dangerous Modern Myth of ‘Sexual Orientation’

My friend Da Tech Guy got into an argument with Cynthia Yockey about Michele Bachmann’s husband, Marcus. Everyone is jumping up and down yelling that he sets off their “gaydar,” pointing especially to his (alleged) involvement with the NARTH “reparative therapy” movement. Between that and his (alleged) gay mannerisms, these armchair sexuality sleuths have concluded that […]

Are You Freaking Serious?

As if this is going to hurt Michelle Bachmann in the Republican primaries: Republican presidential candidate Rep. Michele Bachmann’s failure to address a disturbing trend of teen suicides within her own congressional district does not reflect well on her White House ambitions, House minority leader Nancy Pelosi told The Advocate Thursday. Over the past two […]

Your Tax Dollars at Play

How can those cheapskate Republicans talk about cutting the federal budget when we need money for valuable scientific research? The federal government helped fund a study that examined what effect a gay man’s penis size has on his sex life and general well-being. . . . This particular research resulted in a 2009 report titled, […]

Equality Über Alles, New York

Can mere words suffice to describe it? ALBANY — Lawmakers voted late Friday to legalize same-sex marriage, making New York the largest state where gay and lesbian couples will be able to wed and giving the national gay-rights movement new momentum from the state where it was born. The bill was approved on a 33-to-29 […]

Viva, Californication?

Three mommies, no daddy: On a leafy drive in west Los Angeles, at a newly renovated home with cathedral ceilings and a backyard pool, 4-year-old Kate Eisenpresser-Davis’ friends have been known to pose an intriguing question: “Why does Kate have three mommies?” Lisa Eisenpresser, 44, and her partner, Angela Courtin, 38, share custody of Kate […]

You Stay Classy: Liberals Now Peddling Gay Smear on Texas Gov. Rick Perry

My reaction on Twitter last night was brief and blunt. It is astounding that they’d do this and I’d rather ignore it altogether, but now the desperate and ridiculous gay smear against Rick Perry has been promoted at both Politico and New York magazine.
