Fear not. This is not an example of bigotry as I initially thought. It’s simply stupidity.

Behold. The White House published this photograph of First Lady Melania Trump and the other spouses of NATO leaders at the Royal Castle of Laeken in Brussels during the recent NATO summit. Initially left off the captioned list of names was the First Gentleman of Luxembourg, Gauthier Destenay, who is married Prime Minister Xavier Bettel, making Bettel…

Serious question: Why isn’t religious hypocrisy used more often against the opponents to same sex marriage?

For the last couple months, I’ve been writing the occasional post – titled #Biblebuffet – indicating the hypocrisy of people who oppose same sex marriage for religious reasons. If you use The Bible to oppose same sex marriage, don’t forget to execute adulterers, people who work on Sundays, and any woman engaging in premarital sex.…

Protip: If you’re using The Bible to justify your opposition to gay marriage, please don’t forget to stone your local Starbucks barista to death on the Sabbath, too! Numbers 15: 32-36

A note to my children regarding the shame and embarrassment of 2015

When you read about the year 2015 in the history books, little ones, please remember this: Yes, it’s true. It is still perfectly legal in much of the United States in 2015 to terminate a person’s employment because he or she was gay. But please know that many of us – and perhaps even most…

A race to the bottom: Which state will be the last to legalize same sex marriage?

Over the weekend, a judge overturned Alaska’s ban on same sex marriage. On Tuesday, Alaska and North Carolina began issuing marriage licenses to same sex couples for the first time. Thirty states and Washington, D.C. now allow some form of marriage for same-sex couples. Can you believe it? This seemed impossible just a few years…

Love me some angry bigots

A beautiful campaign, followed by a brilliant response to a bunch of bigots. Bravo, Honey Maid. Graham crackers may have the consistency of drywall, but they taste delicious, and Honey Maid is now my permanent graham cracker of choice.

Exit the bigots

The Boy Scouts of America have lost six percent of their members since changing their policy on gay participants, the group recently announced. Some may think this is bad news. I think the opposite. They’re merely weeding out the bigots. It’s true that in some cases, unbiased boys may be denied the benefits of Scouting…

Big news does not mean big numbers when it comes to same sex marriage.

Arizona, Idaho and Kansas are the three most recent states to attempt to legalize discrimination based upon sexual orientation. Arizona’s law passed through the House and Senate before the governor vetoed the bill. The Kansas bill passed the House on a clear majority before dying in the House. The decision on the Idaho bill, which…

Out of the frying pan…

…and into bigoted stupidity. The smirk on the guy’s face after suggesting that homosexuality is akin to incest is just appalling.

In the wake of the Supreme Court’s DOMA ruling, I can’t help but accentuate the negative

I think it says a lot about me that as happy as I am about the Supreme Court’s ruling striking down the Defense of Marriage Act, I take infinitely more pleasure in imagining how outraged, surprised, angry and defeated the bigots in this country must feel right now. I should feel elation for my gay…
