I continue to be amazed at conservatives who oppose homosexual equality without thinking that they may be working for inequality for their own children. I am amazed that in the name of God and family values these anti-gay activists so demonize homosexuals that they drive parents to abandon or disown their own children. Well, on …

Ex-ex-lesbian tells why ex-gay books should be banned
I was an ex-lesbian for almost eight years during most of my twenties. Except for one thing. I was just celibate. I was still sexually attracted to women. I could not force myself to be attracted to men. I could not will myself to be attracted to men. All I could manage was to be …

Ross Douthat bets on the future of gay marriage
From the New York Observer, 10/22/09, via Memeorandum: Ross Douthat, conservative op-ed columnist for the New York Times … indicated that he opposes gay marriage because of his religious beliefs, but that he does not like debating the issue in those terms. At one point he said that, sometimes, he feels like he should either …

UPDATED — Kathy Shaidle, Boyzone's Stephen Gately may have died of obstructive sleep apnea
I respect Kathy Shaidle’s war against creeping Sharia and Islamofascism and her war in support of free speech. However, I’m not a fan of her war against homosexual equality, which she prosecutes by stigmatizing homosexuals at every possible opportunity. She is very much against punishing thought crimes and speech crimes, but has no qualm about …
Villainous Company: homosexual marriage equality is only about legally being able to choose a same-sex spouse
Cassandra, at Villainous Company, opposes marriage equality for homosexuals, but has been kind enough to visit here from time-to-time and quote me a couple of times recently. She quoted me from my post on the National Equality March a couple of days ago — the quote follows her comment that she is “not sure how …
Obama tells gays at HRC dinner he will get DOMA and DADT repealed and ENDA passed when hell freezes over
Obama told homosexuals to go to hell right to their faces tonight at the Human Rights Campaign banquet, and they gave him standing ovations (H/T Memeorandum). Andrew Sullivan stopped trying to find Trig Palin’s real mother long enough to sum up Obama’s flimflammery in his HRC speech: But the sad truth is: he [Obama] is …
Today Stacy McCain turns 50, embraces Pamela Anderson nude and says Rachel Maddow is hot
My dear friend Stacy McCain has a wife and six children, which makes every honest dollar that comes in his door — as cash, check or PayPal — a very glad sight indeed. Today is his birthday, the big five-O, so do give him a visit and some practical appreciation of his work in the …
The math shows second-class citizenship is costly for gays
One of the newly-minted arguments against homosexual equality is that somehow it would cost society more. Michael Steele has bought into this argument. The argument that any particular group deserves perpetual second-class citizenship because all the first-class citizens would find their equality expensive is also used as an argument for eugenics. Think about that, conservatives. …

Krauthammer on Kristol and the evolution of marriage
Charles Krauthammer published a lovely appreciation of the late Irving Kristol on Friday, Sept. 25. I have bolded the lines that leapt out at me because of how they apply to the objection of social conservatives that homosexuals should not have marriage equality because marriage should never be re-defined, or evolve: His gloriously unheroic view …

Gays! Lesbians! What this means is, Obama NEVER will support homosexual equality
John Aravosis at Americablog summarizes Obama’s broken promises — aka lies — to the gay and lesbian community about supporting homosexual equality, repealing the Defense of Marriage Act and “don’t ask, don’t tell,” which would take half an hour tops for the Democratic-majority Congress to pass and messenger to Obama to sign. If, say, they …
