OUT: Real Gays. IN: Fake Lesbians.

They’re everywhere these days: Just one day after the author behind a popular Syrian lesbian blog admitted to being a married, American man named Tom MacMaster, the editor of the lesbian news site Lez Get Real, with the tag­line “A Gay Girl’s View on the World,” acknowledged that he is also a man. “Paula Brooks,” […]

Herman Cain Speaks Bluntly: ‘I Believe Homosexuality Is a Sin … Their Choice’

In an interview on CBS News: “I believe homosexuality is a sin because I’m a Bible-believing Christian, I believe it’s a sin. But I know that some people make that choice.
