Jeff Katz of Boston's Rush Radio 1200 will interview A Conservative Lesbian at 7 am, ET, on May 11

I hear tell that Monday morning, May 10, Boston conservative radio talk show host Jeff Katz at Rush Radio 1200 talked about my piece published on May 9 at Pajamas Media, “Why is it a slur to suggest Elena Kagan is a lesbian?” for his entire show. This evening his intrepid producer, Jason Pothier, tracked …

Charlie Martin at Pajamas Media made history today

I think Charlie Martin made history at Pajamas Media today when he defended the equality of lesbians and gays in the comment section of my piece on why it is a slur to call someone lesbian or gay, which came up due to the possibility that Obama will nominate Solicitor General Elena Kagan, who is …

A Conservative Lesbian explains why calling someone gay or lesbian is a slur

My piece on the conniption fit the Left went into a few weeks ago when Ben Domenech opined that it was a plus that Supreme Court nominee short-lister Elena Kagan is a lesbian was published at Pajamas Media today. Pajamas Media publisher Roger Simon was puzzled at the extremes the LEFT went to in order …

Everyone is beautiful, including Gabourey Sidibe

Fat is a feminist issue. If you don’t understand that, you can’t call yourself a feminist. Because I say so. Yes, I do so, too, have that power. I love it that People Magazine included Gabourey Sidibe in its list of the “100 Most Beautiful People of 2010.” I don’t believe they are holding her …

UPDATED How to grab the gay equality issue from the Left

I have a proposal for attracting to conservatism a demographic that’s up-for-grabs. There are three blog publishers who are in a position to do this. Each one could do it alone, but it will make a bigger impact if they hold hands and make the leap of faith together. My proposal is that at least …

Welcome, Rush-lanche! Thank you, Mark Steyn!

Welcome, new gentle readers who just heard me on “The Rush Limbaugh” show with Mark Steyn. Also, thank you, conservative gay Newsreal blogger, Mark Koenig (see DaTechGuy’s YouTube video of him from CPAC last month), for giving me the heads-up that Mark Steyn mentioned today he was inviting calls from conservative lesbians and gays. Here …

Moe, I beg to differ, Peter Scolari RULES!

Opening credits and the show’s premise: On February 28 dear Moe Lane advised his readers to have a couple of glasses of wine before perusing the site, “Peter Scolari, Unsung Genius.” To enhance the WTF factor, he says. Ahem. Let me make one thing perfectly clear, once and for all. Peter Scolari RULES. What do …

I'm up to something

It’s been tough, blog-wise, for the last month. The first two weeks of February I spent coping with two blizzards and two snow storms — it was painful and exhausting. Then I went to CPAC, which was WONDERFUL, but I got very sleep-deprived. I’d have recovered faster if I’d been willing to close my eyes …

My dear Sophia is now purring on the lap of God

My late life partner Margaret and I were living in a high-rise condo in Silver Spring in September 2000 when Sophia and her boyfriend, Ivan, came up to me in the parking lot. “Nice lady,” Ivan said, “we have just been abandoned and do not know what to do. Will you help us?” I promised …
