REST IN PEACE, BEST SAMMY ON THE MENU

Exodus International, the biggest and oldest "ex-gay" group in the country has admitted that their mission is hopeless and they are shutting down.

As it turns out, you can't pray the gay away.

chipotle does the right thing

there was some boy scout event in utah that the local chipotle was sponsoring, but once corporate heard about it they snatched the burritos out of they mouths because the boy scouts are gaycists. or something like that. via

makes me hungry for the gayest burrito i can find (thats carnitas in case you were wondering)

  In an email, company spokesman Chris Arnold wrote: By way of follow up, we have terminated our sponsorship of this event. As I mentioned yesterday, community support decisions like this are made in a decentralized way and this one was inconsistent with our own policy. We believed that terminating the sponsorship and remaining consistent with our policy was the right thing to do, and we have reinforced our policy with the team that makes these decisions to try to prevent similar issues in the future.

growing up palin

bristol's three year old palin spawn calls his aunt willow a faggot. "god's watching you."

speaking of gay's ruining marriage

The Guardian has this brilliant (that's how Brits describe things) info-graphic on the status of gay right in the 50 US states and the District of Columbia.  They also break the graphic down by different types of rights and geographical regions for a look at the nuances between states in different regions and the disparity between "LGB" rights, and "T" rights.  It's very efficient in laying out thing we already knew, the Southeast is still dragging it's knuckles around in the latter half of the 20th Century, and the North east is leading the way in pretty much every regard.

P.S. Of course they went with a rainbow color scheme.

way to go, tennessee.

NASHVILLE - A measure that would prohibit the teaching of homosexuality in Tennessee public schools has passed the Senate.

Under the proposal approved 19-11 today, any instruction or materials at a public elementary or middle school will be "limited exclusively to age-appropriate natural human reproduction science."

Republican Senate sponsor Stacey Campfield of Knoxville says "homosexuals don't naturally reproduce."

Campfield says current state curriculum is not clear on what can be taught.

The companion bill has been withdrawn from consideration in the House. But its sponsor has said he will bring it up again next year if the Senate version passes.

According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, Tennessee would become the first state to enact such legislation if the proposal passes.

Opponents of the legislation say it would be unfair to students who have same sex parents. (via)

i should point out that stacey campfield (that name is super gay, btw) is from EAST tennessee. where rob is from.

sara vs tyler

"As journalists and colleagues defend, excuse and congratulate 'Tyler, the Creator,' I find it impossible not to comment. In any other industry would I be expected to tolerate, overlook, and find deeper meaning in this kid's sickening rhetoric? Why should I care about this music or its 'brilliance' when the message is so repulsive and irresponsible?... The more I think about it, the more I think people don't actually want to go up against this particular bully because he's popular. Who sticks up for women and gay people now? It seems entirely uncool to do so in the indie rock world, and I'll argue that point with ANYONE." (via)

-sara quin, of tegan & sara

tyler's twitter response:

If Tegan And Sara Need Some Hard Dick, Hit Me Up!

cute.

nashville just got gayer

Companies doing business with Nashville Metro government will soon have to pledge not to discriminate against employees based on sexual orientation or gender identity.

The Metro Council approved a bill Tuesday requiring government contractors to abide by that guideline by a vote of 21-15, with three abstentions. A source of controversy in the business community, the bill drew sharp debate from council members Tuesday night.

Councilman Jamie Hollin, a sponsor of the bill, said after the vote that Metro had “sent a clear signal all around the world” that people of all kinds are welcome to work in Nashville.

benja, is there something you want to tell mr. swenson?

boycotting chick fil a

Today I ate chick fil a. FOR THE LAST TIME. You may think that I ate chick fil a for the last time because I'm moving to NYC on Sunday and they don't have any delicious spicy chicken sandwiches for miles. Well, you're wrong! I'm boycotting chick fil a because they are gaycist. My next chick fil a meal will not happen until they stop donating to anti-equality causes and start opening their asses up on Sunday!

glee vs kings of leon

This story has been brewing for a while, I first posted about kings of leon and glee last year. things have gotten substantially more heated, and now it's time to address the situation again. via.

Yesterday, Glee creator Ryan Murphy said, "Fuck you, Kings of Leon" in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, slagging the band for not giving the show permission to use their songs. While singer Caleb Followill was quoted trying to ratchet down the tension with Murphy ("This was never meant as a slap in the face to Glee or to music education or to fans of the show"), drummer Nathan Followill is having none of this measured-response business. Nathan just tweeted, "Dear Ryan Murphy, let it go. See a therapist, get a manicure, buy a new bra. Zip your lip and focus on educating 7yr olds how to say fuck."

Murphy said: "Just read Nathan Followill's Tweet…in which he implied I should ‘get a manicure and buy a bra.’ Wow. That's a homophobe badly in need of some education. I'm all for manicures, don't wear a bra. Would guess most gay dudes don't. But it's telling that Nathan can reduce a group of people to a mean-spirited cliché, in a time where young gay men are killing themselves all over the country because of hatred like this.
That said, I would love to sit down with Nathan or any member of Kings and Leon, and tell them how on Glee we actually love their music, and support their artistry…but cannot condone or even laugh at their clear disdain of gay people."

Followill then tweeted in response, "I'm sorry 4 anyone that misconstrued my comments as homophobic or misogynistic. I'm so not that kind of person. I really do apologize."

Boys, boys, boys... you are really embarrassing yourselves. You guys need to work this one out without getting Perez Hilton involved.

what are the odds?

i was just listening to radio kylie, and the song "money for nothing" by the dire straits came on. as i was reminiscing about the dawn of MTV and music videos, i was shocked to hear some very offensive language in a song that we've all heard so many times. they are as follows:

The little faggot with the earring and the makeup

Yeah buddy, that's his own hair

That little faggot got his own jet airplane

That little faggot he's a millionaire

isn't that weird?! the song was written by mark knopfler and sting, of all people.

anyway, i got to googling and you'll never believe it but just YESTERDAY, canada banned the song from radio! how come canada and i have never noticed those lyrics in the 26 years they've been around until just now?

ok, just needed to tell someone about this. thanks for listening.

bonus link : this was the next song on radio kylie.

oops!

sux2b carl paladino.

this story really got me gigglin' during my morning commute:

a couple of days ago, republican gubernatorial candidate and noted kook, carl paladino, apologized for being a gaycist prick while delivering a speech written by sassy rabbi, yehuda levin, over the weekend.

so, yesterday, the rabbi expressed his disappointment in paladino, in a public speech in front of st patrick's cathedral on fifth avenue. this guy is a real hoot:

first, he said that paladino "folded like a cheap camera"?!!! i'm fairly sure that's not how that saying goes, and i just love a good mixed metaphor, so i had to read on.

next, he told this cartoonish story about learning of paladino's camera-folding:

“I was in the middle of eating a kosher pastrami sandwich,” Rabbi Levin said. "While I was eating it, they come running and they say, ‘Paladino became gay!’ I said, ‘What?’ And then they showed me the statement. I almost choked on the kosher salami.”

CTM! can you imagine?!?! paladino pointed to the fact that his nephew is gay as a point of regret in making insensitive comments, to which the rabbi responded:

“He discovered now he has a gay nephew?” the rabbi said. “Mazel tov! We’ll make a coming-out party!”

mazel tov, indeed. no matter how *tiCkeD* the rabbi is, he made it clear that his old gay-bashing friend is welcome back to hateville any time he likes:

“Carl, we’ll leave the light on for you,” he said. “Come back, Carl.”

shew! i hope carl has learned his lesson about pandering to the radical beliefs of a specific demographic in order to secure their votes. looks like cuomo's picked up a couple more points in the polls. brb folding like a cheap crate of bananas.
