Catholic Archdiocese of DC Says: We’ll Stop Feeding the Hungry if DC Recognizes Gay Marriage

Filed Under Bitch Slap, Religion, WTF? | 4 Comments

If I were Jesus, I would be really pissed off right about now.

Members of the Catholic Church hierarchy in DC announced they will prohibit Catholic Charities from providing services to DC residents if DC’s City Council decides to recognize all married couples – even same-sex couples – as equal under law.

That’s some seriously fucked up divide and conquer goin’ on right there. What kind of church withholds charity from a group of people in order to convince them to fuck over another group of people? I’m sure there are some really decent Catholics out there who are extremely embarrassed by all this.

Stand for Marriage Maine Pimps White Children and Black Woman in New Site Image

Filed Under Bitch Slap, WTF?, iQreport | 1 Comment

Stand for Marriage Maine, a group campaigning to revoke gay marriage rights in Maine, has launched a deceitful Google Adwords campaign that suggests that same-sex marriage rights in Maine will result in homosexuality being taught in public schools. Lies. Lies. Filthy lies.

Maine’s Attorney General already stated that heterosexual marriage isn’t currently part of any Maine public school curriculum so it’s untrue that gay marriage would sneak its way into any public school curriculum either.

If pimpin’ young, seemingly innocent, white children in a deceitful, hateful and manipulative anti-gay marriage campaign isn’t bad enough, the rabid anti-gay winguts have stooped to using a Black female in their landing page image. That’s a blatant attempt to appeal to anti-gay conservative Blacks – you know, one of the groups that helped pass California’s anti-gay Prop 8.

Seriously, how many Black people live in Maine?  Not a lot!  Maine’s Black population is less than 1.5%.   Did they find the only Black female teacher in Maine and use her in their ad?  Stand for Maine is hoping to raise funds from anti-gay Blacks in other states to help screw over homosexuals in Maine.   Now that’s a pathetic move.

Hey Gay Guys: The Golden Girls Made You a Homo

Filed Under Religion, WTF? | 2 Comments

The writers over at Christwire finally have the answer. We finally know the origins of male homosexuality – at least for a certain time period:

Many studies have been done on why the gays love The Golden Girls, but science can’t fathom the moral challenges and social upheaval of those historic times. The 1980s was an epoch of President Reagan’s manly wisdom and the terrifying threat of Cold War annihilation. America had sobered up from the flashy lights of 1970s disco. We were skipping all night cocaine and sex parties to focus on our careers. Spiritual leaders like Jerry Falwell were telling us that Christianity was in the majority again. On the other side, there was a subculture of homosexuality creeping up on our youths. It gave them an excuse to wear tight jeans and to sneak off to public parks for quick releases with hairy men of different ethnicities.

There ya have it. The Golden Girls made you a homo who likes cock from all ethnicities. You’re a big ol’ tight jean wearin’ queer because you watched Blanche, Sophia, Rose and Dorothy one too many times on television.

Apparently, the Golden Girls has been a part of the gay agenda for a long time. That show was created to ruin the very threads keeping our wholesome, apple-pie, white American society together:

It was only to be expected that our lonely boys exposed to these conflicted times would succumb to the nagging Golden Girls agenda. These were slender, unathletic children who were left out of the fun militarism of the Reagan years. Skyrocketing divorce rates ruined their faith in traditional relationships. Rock groups like Duran Duran and Styx encouraged big hair and overactive libidos. The show lit a match which enflamed their intense physical urges. With the utmost cruelty and immorality, The Golden Girls seized upon this opportunity to cross the hormonal wires of America’s lost generation.

The results were disastrous. Our horny, lonely boys sought out intimate comforts with likeminded Golden Girls addicts who didn’t mind each other’s theatrical voices and touch-feely hand gestures. Together, these clusters of awkward teens and twentysomethings bonded over their favorite episodes and characters, mimicking the voices and gowns of their tv friends. When the rush of cheesecake and gabfests wore thin, these hairless boys needed a harder thrill. They were so desperate for the next big trend they turned to same-sex sexual experimentation. What woman would have them now, anyway? This led to the worse excesses of early homosexual visibility– the most enormous of drag queens, the dirtiest of leather daddies, the most enticing of twinkie boys, androgyny, overeating, public sex and the birth of “camp.”

That’s the most asinine shit I’ve read in ages. Is that religious wingnut smokin’ some good shit or what? I guess one too many Xena episodes turned a whole lot of girls into lesbians. Or maybe it was all those Wonder woman episodes. Hmmm. . .

The author doesn’t offer an explanation for homosexuality in countries other than the US. I’m guessing we have to wait for him to pull that one from his ass. It might take awhile.

Update: I just learned that Christwire is a satirical site. The Onion should have this guy on staff.

Even Bitch Magazine Hates Hairy Chochas

Filed Under Bitch Slap, Sex and Sexuality, WTF?, Women's Issues | Leave a Comment

In keeping with the theme for SistersTalk Radio’s anniversary show Monday night, I’m looking for interesting sex articles to discuss. I found a couple of amusing articles (here and here). Some of you might find it odd that Bitch (a self-proclaimed feminist magazine rag) refused to run the following advertisement because (supposedly, since we don’t know for sure) it’s displaying a hairy bush:

Personally, for me, a hairy bush is a dealbreaker. But I don’t claim I’m a feminist magazine published to empower all women, so I can say that.

In my opinion, it’s not the hairy bush that bothers the folks over at Bitch. It’s the hairy bush peeking out of a pair of pink panties that bothers them. If that hairy bush was visible through the opening of a pair of plaid boxers, we wouldn’t be having this discussion. True hairy feminists don’t wear pink undies, correct?

Of course I’m joking.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. The Bitch rag can do whatever it wants and reserves the right to refuse any advertisement. But, does anyone else find it odd that a feminist magazine that’s struggling to pay its bills wouldn’t run an ad like this one? It seems pretty harmless to me, but then again, I’m not one of those kinds of feminists so I wouldn’t understand what “harmless” means to them.

And yep, I used the qualifier “those kinds” to describe those kinds of feminists. We’ll be discussing this more on SistersTalk Radio Monday night. Join us!

Update:
One of my Twitter followers said “Though, rather than the hair it may have been the male stereotype on the front of the panties that did it.”

Since we don’t know for sure, let’s assume (hypothetically, of course) that the reason Bitch refused to run the ad is because it supposedly objectifies women. Pfft! Call me an objectifier then because I love pretty pink vaginas – and a whole lot of sex positive lesbians would agree with me.

CA Pageant Officials Want Carrie Prejean to Return Boob Job Money

Filed Under WTF? | Leave a Comment

Carrie Prejean is breast-deep in debt — and the Miss California pageant has come to collect.

The infamous Miss Cali and Miss USA second-place winner Carrie Prejean was sacked with a cross-complaint from Miss California officials, who have charged Prejean with ripping the pageant off for the cost of her $5,200 breast implants.

Hmm . . . they didn’t mind paying for implants as long as Prejean was using them to promote the pageant?

I can’t stand Prejean, but I think pageant officials are being childish pricks with this one.

HRC: Send Me Your Money, Well, Just Because

Filed Under Bitch Slap, DADT, LGBT, WTF? | 1 Comment

Fellow blogger Jay Morris and I have been brewin’ for hours about the HRC’s latest post-NEM move. Even though we originally vowed to play nice and refrain from making nasty comments about the HRC in mixed company, their latest move encouraged us both to take off our gloves.

Piggybacking off the success of the National Equality March, this morning the HRC distributed an email to its mailing list. They patted themselves on the back for a job well done this weekend, even though the organization’s involvement with (and support of) the march was minimal – at best. Conveniently moving their annual fundraiser from its usual first Saturday of October to the second Saturday just to make it appear as if the HRC was somehow involved in the march was a shadey move that most people barely noticed. Now, the HRC is asking people to help them raise $200K so they could can supposedly continue the momentum established by the NEM’s organizers.

What.the.fuck?

The HRC just had a fancy celebrity fundraising event this weekend in DC. Where did that money go – and why do they need another $200K? And did you and every other average Joe get an invite to that event? I’m guessing you didn’t.

The HRC’s email implies that they were more involved in the NEM than they really were and it also implies that only the HRC knows how to take this momentum and run with it (all links removed – bold emphasis is mine):

After this weekend, we have a burst of momentum.

But without a major advocacy push now, it could be lost.

Watch this video and help us raise $200,000 to capitalize on this moment.

Click here to watch the video!

This weekend was big.

From President Obama’s speech at our National Dinner to final House passage of hate crimes to the National Equality March, the nation’s attention is on LGBT equality – we have a burst of momentum.

But this is no time to grow complacent. We need your help to capitalize on this moment.

The next month and a half will be tough – while we fight against anti-LGBT ballot initiatives in multiple states, we must also act NOW to push our federal agenda to its tipping point, or we could miss this window.

We need to raise $200,000 for a renewed effort to seize this opportunity and advance our federal agenda and fight for marriage equality in the states without delay. Will you be part of this fight? (see full email document here)

Oh, I will be more than happy to be a part of the gay rights fight, but I’m not playing on the HRC’s team. It’s been almost 30 years since the HRC’s formation and the LGBTQ community has not seen a single federal law passed that protects our community from workplace discrimination, nor have we seen a repeal of DOMA or DADT. Instead, we’ve watched the HRC encourage the LGBTQ community to continue supporting politicians like Bill and Hillary Clinton, the folks who gave us DOMA and DADT.

Now why, I ask you, would any queer with half a brain continue to send any of their hard-earned money to this organization?

It is my hope that the new generation of LGBTQ activists we saw come out in droves this weekend in DC are committed to supporting true progressive organizations that want our money for something other than: paying their president his $390K annual salary, hosting celebrity galas that the average gay American can’t afford to attend and smoozin’ with big shots in corporate America who talk the talk way more than they walk it. Please, I ask you to send your money to campaigns like No on 1 in Maine and other local organizations that are willing to get out, pound doors and speak to our supporters and opponents face-to-face.

I agree with those who say gay organizations should learn to work together and stop all the bickering amongst themselves. I wish I didn’t feel compelled to bitch slap the HRC and air my grievances with the oldest “gay rights” organization in the country via this blog post. But, keeping quiet means the HRC will continue to take valuable dollars from gay rights supporters who mistakenly assume the organization is working to secure full equality on both a federal and state level for the LGBTQ community. It’s time for those dollars to go elsewhere – maybe then we’ll see some real progress.

Web Site Supporting Gay West Point Grads Blocked by AZ Army Base

Filed Under LGBT, WTF?, iQreport | Leave a Comment

I just received this in my email box:

Officers stationed at Ft. Huachuca, AZ, report that the Knightsout.org website – supporting the organization of gay & lesbian West Point grads co-founded by Lt Dan Choi – has been BLOCKED. Other gay and lesbian websites are accessible, but not Knights Out. Is this Army-wide or just Ft Huachuca?

Do any of my military readers know if this is Army wide?

Oh.No.They.Didn’t – So Sick of the HRC Cock Blockin’

Filed Under LGBT, WTF? | 2 Comments

Ever since I heard the news about Obama addressing a group of gay rights “activists” at a dinner planned by the [I-once-loudly-criticized-the-National-Equality-March-but-now-that-it's-receiving-favorable-media-coverage-I'm-pretending-I-support-it] organization HRC, I’ve been a cranky bitch. I’m noticing lots of uninformed media outlets conveniently associating the march with the HRC’s name, claiming the HRC dinner marks the beginning of the march and making it appear as if the march is all the HRC’s doing. (please note the schedule of events) Besides asking uninformed queers for their hard-earned money for unnamed and mysterious equality projects that never really amount to a damn thing, the HRC’s involvement in this equality march has been extremely minimal, unless you count the time they spent encouraging their parrot bloggers to bad-mouth the march every chance they got.

Originally I promised my partner (and myself) that I would withhold all nasty HRC comments until after we return from the march, but, well . . . I lied. It ticks me off beyond belief that this “gay rights” organization is riding the NEM’s coattails and planning their annual fundraising dinner (complete with a performance from Lady Gaga) in conjunction with a march they never supported and still only pretend to support. The HRC’s annual dinners are usually the first Saturday in October: the 2008 dinner was October 4, the 2007 annual dinner was October 6 and the 2006 dinner was October 6. This year the dinner was conveniently moved to the second Saturday of the month. Coincidence? I think not. If that doesn’t annoy me enough, this group encouraged its parrot bloggers to spend weeks and weeks insisting the gay community should stay home instead of going to DC this weekend.

Today, I told a group of colleagues the following:

WHEN (not IF) the LGBTQ community has full equality, the role organzations like the HRC play in the equality movement will be moot and a whole lotta people will be out of a job. No more fancy galas. No more smoozin’ with the gay elite. No more Lady Gaga “fundraising parties.” It’s always been my belief that organizations like the HRC and NAACP (in their recent years) talk the talk for fundraising purposes only.

With that said, I have to remain focused on what we’re heading to DC to do – and that’s NOT to argue with the HRC groupies of the world. I’m excited about what we’re doing and I need to hold on to that excitement.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know there are more than a few queers who will give me the whole “stop hatin’ on the HRC, we need to work together” lecture. Save it. I’m not the one who needs that lecture.

So, I need to make a cocktail and read a few chapters from The Secret. Maybe I’ll re-discover my happy place. If that doesn’t work, I’ll have a few more cocktails and surf the ‘net for some porn.

Some Pro Caster Semenya Feminists Are Annoying the Hell Out of Me

Filed Under Gender, WTF? | 1 Comment

A quick thought regarding the Caster Semenya gender identity scandal . . .

I am completely outraged that Caster had to undergo embarrassing and degrading scrutiny because some people were bothered by her less than traditional feminine qualities.

But . . . (and there’s always a but)

I’m even more annoyed by the self-proclaimed pro-female feminists who are crying foul about Caster even though they continue to support the Michigan Women’s music festival – an event that is known for its longtime ban of transgender male-to-female women because they were not born a “womon” (that means they don’t have suitable genitalia).

Do these pro-Caster/anti-MTF feminists think they’re foolin’ anyone? What gives?

In my opinion (and this is JUST my opinion), anyone who is outraged by the Semenya gender scandal would be equally outraged my Michfest’s ban on MTFs. I don’t know. Call me crazy.

Right Wing Nutcases Encourage Kids to Skip School – And Make Signs Protesting the Gay Rights March

Filed Under Bitch Slap, Parenting, WTF? | 9 Comments

One of my Facebook friends posted a link to a right wing nutcase forum post promoting September 8, 2009 as National Skip Day because (on that day) President Obama will deliver a national address directly to students on the importance of education:

Apparently, Our Beloved Leader, Barack Hussein Obama, the most merciful, Lion of the Masses, Protector of the Common Man and Omnipotent Parental Figure, will give an address on September 8 to America’s school children. The audience will be all children, preK-12. In protest of the forced ObamaTV viewing in classrooms across the nation everyone is encouraged to participate in a National Skip Day and keep your kids home. Take the opportunity to teach your kids true life lessons and not subject them to Obama propaganda. Maybe even use the day to make protest posters for the 912 March on DC!!

These anti-Obama and anti-gay religious nutcases are also encouraging parents to keep their kids home and let them make anti-gay protest posters they will use at the DC gay rights march in October. They might as well go all out and encourage their kids to make KKK costumes as well – costumes they will wear while carrying their protest signs at the gay rights march. I’m guessing a lesson on how to light a gay-friendly church on fire will be a part of these people’s September 8 National Skip Day, too.

So, here’s what anti-Obama parents will teach their kids on National Skip Day:

1. Some white folks really hate the fact that our nation’s leader is NOT white
2. Education is only important when a white man says it is
3. Gays don’t deserve full equality
4. The president’s message is only important if said president is white

I don’t know about you, but that looks like some really shitty homeschoolin’ to me.
