Still on a Mother’s Day hangover. Has anybody seen this cartoon? Buddy G, My Two Moms and Me was created by a pair of lesbian moms who were looking for a gay-friendly kiddie show, and of course, couldn’t find one. Way to go grabbing the bull by the horns, I say. Pretty handy in the […]

by Wayne Besen
No matter who wins the presidential election, it is quite clear that the big loser in campaign 08 is religion.
By far, the most strident political voices have come from renegade reverends that seem a bit hot under the collar. These cantankerous characters (or caricatures) have transformed their houses of worship into a harbor […]

Published in Gay Rights, Books

I’ve just received my copy of Beebo Brinker in the mail bought from Amazon.
