Is Miley Cyrus singing about the gays now?
2009-11-14 16:45:00
Miley Cyrus just can't get a break can she? First she's pole dancing, then she's got a 20-year old boyfriend, uhm - she's 16, then last week she was voted 'worst celebrity influence' by tweens. Nw she's being accused of changing the lyrics of one of her songs during a concert in Lexington, KY from "you're vain, you're games" to "you're vain, you're gay." Granted, it could be a slip of the tongue, it could be a whole bunch of things that happened and Miley isn't one to be going around throwing hate words - but it's just interesting that this is the big news. Check out the video:The interesting thing isn't so much what she said while she was singing...

Oak Park is no place for speech that gays don't like
2009-08-19 04:37:00
Every time a parent complains about a reading list that requires a child to read a book the Buzz Cafeparent finds objectionable, there's a hue and cry about censorship. "We should be able to listen to every point of view," free speech advocates say, and indeed they're right. (Although it's a different matter when children are involved.)Shall we hear the same wailing and tsk-tsking now that Oak Park gays have pressured a cafe store in the western suburb to cancel an appearance by someone they don't like. As reported by the Wednesday Journal:A book discussion in Oak Park was canceled Monday after the village's gay community took offense at the subject matter - that there's a cure for gayness. The...

The gays behind Chances Dances presents Queeroake tonight
2009-08-03 19:46:00
You're probably used to heading down to Subtearranean (2011 North Ave.) for good queer fun by now, so add the first Monday of every month to your list. Mel Racho and Latham Zeafoss of Chances Dances present Queeroake, which is exactly what you think it is, and tonight its the event's debut.For $1 admission, you can sign up to sing songs by Mariah Carey, Lady Gaga and the like. Since it's Queeroake, I can only hope they have songs by Tegan and Sara, Le Tigre, the Gossip and some oldies but goodies such as Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car." Mel Racho's Twitter hints at a few of the tracks she's got for the night, though, including Monica and 112's cover of...

I strongly encourage Bay Area GayPatriot readers to join leftie blogger Michael Petrelis in rallying today, Thursday, June 18, 2009, from 5-6 PM at Harvey Milk Plaza in “friendship and solidarity with the democratic-loving people of Iran.” It would be great to have some conservative gays there both to show our support for people suffering ...

The Gays & Iran ? Why No Emotion?
2009-06-16 19:04:00
Aside from Andrew Sullivan and Michael Petrelis, The Gays(tm) have been stunningly silent on the Iranian election. Almost as silent and stand-offish as President Obama has been. While I haven’t blogged about it (admittedly), I have been Twittering my ass off throughout the weekend on the subject! After all, shouldn’t gays be MORE invested in the ...

2009-06-11 00:30:00

Gay Groups Silent as Obama Ignores Plight of Gays Under Islam

Last Thursday, Bruce reported that, in his celebrated address to the Muslim world in Cairo, President Obama ignored the plight of gays living under Islam. Speculating that no national gay organizations would take the Democratic President to task for this failure, I offered to make a $25 contribution to any that did so by Monday ...

Bet Dieting: If You Lose You Pay Guns, God, & Gays!
2009-05-23 22:47:00
This man is going to make a commitment to lose 10 pounds in the next six weeks. He's going to have to close the frig door, of course, so he can head to the computer and make a bet. He needs motivation, a real inspiration... not just those pants he could zip up a few years ago. He's going to bet 25 bucks that he can lose the weight. If this man, whose religious beliefs don't include gay marriage, doesn't achieve his goal, a gay rights group like Freedom to Marry will get his $25 "donation."

Obama Lacks the Gipper?s Political Courage on Gays
2009-05-14 09:18:00
You can measure a politician’s principles by his willingness to do something which he believes to be the right thing, but which carries a political cost. Before he was ever elected President, Ronald Reagan did just such a thing, showing political courage in standing up against anti-gay bigotry. In 1978, he came out publicly against the ...

Say Good-bye to the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" Policy for Gays in the US Milit
2009-01-15 15:59:00
Once upon a time, there was a new president. He felt unsure of his powers. He worried about getting mired in a problem that might become too big for him. He did not like the no gays in the military thing and knew in his heart of hearts that it was unfair. But did he dare make a stink about it? Nope. He caved. Well, a little. He and his team came up with a compromise. It became known as the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. If you were an officer in any of the U.S. armed services, you were not allowed to ask another service member about sexual orientation. If you were gay, you were silenced. If it became known you were gay, you'd get the steel-toed boot. Ugh.Thus, by a roundabout way, gay service men and women were allowed entree. It was a big improvement over the longstanding ban on gays in the military, but it was a fuzzy policy at best. That president was Bill Clinton, and the year was 1993.Fast forward to today. New president coming in, one who is blessedly realistic about the m...
