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…
Read MoreHow I stand against the vile, intolerant, hateful speech and policy proposals of the President-elect (and how you can, too)
You may have noticed if you follow me on any form of social media that I haven’t been quiet about my opposition to the President-elect. I can’t be. This is not a Democrat-Republican or liberal-conservative divide. Those who have known me for a long time or read this blog on a regular basis can attest…

A Walkerton, Indiana, pizza shop is the state’s first business to declare it will not service gay weddings after the Religious Freedom Restoration Act was signed into law last week. “If a gay couple came in and wanted us to provide pizzas for their wedding, we would have to say no,” Memories Pizza’s Crystal O’Connor…

But in addition to ending their bigotry and buffet-style application of Biblical law, I would also suggest removing the word defrock from the church’s lexicon as well. I…
Read MoreI use the word “bigot” instead of “homophobic.” You should, too. Here’s why.
A reader noted my tendency to use the words bigot and bigotry in lieu of homophobia or homophobic when describing an idiot who is prejudiced against or hates homosexuals. Observant reader.

This anti-Obama, anti-gay marriage ad is fascinating. First, despite the enormous amount of money that Super PACs are pouring into the campaign, they apparently cannot afford professional actors or writers. The ad is embarrassing in terms of its production value. If I had paid for this ad, I’d be angry as hell. Second, this may…
