Gayest Dessert Ever!

Ben & Jerry's is temporarily changing their "Chubby Hubby" ice cream to be "Hubby Hubby" in honor of Vermont's law that took effect this week allowing man-on-man marriage!

It's chocolate dipped pretzels filled with peanut butter in vanilla ice cream. Mmmmm... sounds deliciously gay!

Sorry, ladies. At this time there are no plans to release "Wifey Wifey" or "Lezzie Lezzie" flavors. However, there are rumors flying around about some flavors called "Just Roommates" and "Are You Sure That Guy's Not Gay. I Don't Care If He Has A Wife. I'm Sure He's Gay."

Church Just Got a Whole Lot Gayer!

Things, they are a changin'. The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) voted and approved this week two gay-friendly proposals.

First, it approved to sanction same-sex commitment ceremonies. Meaning gays and lesbians can have a "wedding" in an Evangelical Lutheran church (even if same-sex marriage is outlawed in that state).

Then, they approved sanctioning the ordination of openly gay clergy who are in committed relationships, or "married," if you will. Gays as preachers in the Lutheran church is nothing new... they were just celibate.

(FYI, in case you thought I was making a joke. I wasn't. Until this week, queers could be pastors, but they had to be single and no hanky panky!)

I'm guessing not every Lutheran will be flying their rainbow flags on their way to church this Sunday. The move may cause some sheep to find straighter pastures. But probably not that many. Lutherans and gays have had a long happy relationship with each other. They're just moving that relationship further out of the closet.

Snaps to you, ELCA! Church just got a whole lot gayer!

Pride: Leah Driscoll Wants You to Get Some

Every diva loves (and is loved by) the gays. Barbra, Liza, Bette, Cher... So beloved they're known by only one name!

Enter, Leah!

Allow me to introduce you to singer Leah Driscoll. I think this girl is out of this world! Click HERE for more about her.

Leah has put together an awesome dance track that may be the anthem of the current generation of pink, lavender, and rainbow-colored sheep! Pride.

It's all about same-sex marriage and the obvious need to sanction it in the United States. But don't think it's all political and stuff. No, it's funky-fresh! I just know you're gonna love it.

Fiercy fierceness! Love her!

Brad Pitt Still Loves the Gays

Eternal heartthrob Brad Pitt is on the cover of Parade magazine and reiterates his love for all things equality.

Big Poppa Pitt told the magazine that he received some major heat from some church groups who freaked out when he said a year ago that he will refrain from marrying his baby-momma Angelina Jolie until EVERYONE has the right to get married in America. (Read that story HERE.) By everyone, of course he was referring to Ryan Seacrest and Anderson Cooper. OMG! Can you image that wedding?! Anyway, I digress...

Mister Pitt said,

"When someone asked me why Angie and I don’t get married, I replied, ‘Maybe we’ll get married when it’s legal for everyone else.’ I stand by that, although I took a lot of flak for saying it – hate mail from religious groups. I believe everyone should have the same rights. They say gay marriage ruins families and hurts kids. Well, I’ve had the privilege of seeing my gay friends being parents and watching their kids grow up in a loving environment."

Side note: I don't get the concept of HATE and RELIGIOUS in the same sentence. Last time I checked, God is love... but whatevs.

Brad went on to say,

"It’s ridiculous that Prop 8 took away gay people’s right to marry! I have no understanding of that kind of hatred. Maybe it’s fear of difference or of the unknown. If you feel belittled, maybe you need someone else to belittle to feel powerful. It’s the only way I know how to explain it. You’ve got religion telling you what to think about homosexuality, about marriage. They say homosexuality is a choice, a lifestyle, something you can be cured of, and that isn’t true. But if you’re tucked away and have no friends who are gay, you’ll believe what the preachers say. Just think of it in terms of being in love–how would you feel if someone told you that you couldn’t be with the person you loved?"

*Swoon* You are so right, Brad.

Vintage Gay Anderson Cooper

Once upon a time, a long time ago. Silver Fox Anderson Cooper was an out and proud gay man. Then the wicked kings and queens at CNN forced our handsome prince into the closet. (For a handsome some of money, of course.)

During the "out" years, Andy created a feel-good story about the New York City Gay Pride march. The story has a human element. It highlights an elderly gay couple who had been together for over 40 years.

A touching little story, brought to you by everybody's favorite Vanderbilt.

Stonewall: 40 Years Later

Forty years ago on June 28, 1969, a bar in New York City frequented by gays and transvestites (and a handful of lesbians) named Stonewall was raided by the police. It was a routine raid; they happened nightly throughout the city. The lights would be flipped on, everyone lined along the wall and forced to present photo ID to the attending police officers. Names would be recorded by the cops for future reference. Those without ID would be arrested. The crowd would be separated men and women. Those dressed in female clothing were escorted to the ladies room by the female cop on duty to check their gender. Any man found wearing a dress would be arrested.

Such raids were common everywhere except at Stonewall, which was supposedly owned by the mafia who allegedly paid the cops to stay away. That fateful night in June of 1969, however, the unexpected happened.

Plain-clothed police officers entered Stonewall at around 3 A.M. When the cops began making the patrons line up against the wall, the crowd refused to present their ID's and the men in drag refused to go the ladies room to vouch for their gender. A fight quickly broke out between the transvestites and the police.

A voice in the crowd shouted, "They're only here because the mafia didn't pay them tonight." This prompted the crowd to hurl coins at the police officers. The coins became rocks, and the rocks became bricks from a nearby construction zone.

The crowd became so rowdy that the police barricaded themselves inside Stonewall waiting for backup. The angry homosexual mob broke down the barricade and set the place on fire.

Until that time, there had never been a mass expression of protest for the mistreatment of gays and lesbians in America. The riots continued night after night for about a week.

On the one year anniversary of the Stonewall riots, the first gay pride march was organized in New York City where people 15-blocks deep marched 51 blocks through the streets of New York.

At the time, Illinois was the only state in America that didn't have laws criminalizing same-sex activities. Today, 40 years later, six states have legalized same-sex marriages. New York is on the verge of becoming the seventh. Which seems like a gigantic leap forward until you realize that none of these marriages are recognized by the federal government.

The gay rights activists of the day, condemned the riots. However, the men and women who defended themselves against police brutality that night were the ones who sparked today's gay rights movement. For this they should be commended. If not for the actions of those homosexual-outcasts and drag queens at Stonewall 40 years ago, there would be no openly gay politicians, comedians, or authors today.

For their courage, I am grateful. In this day and time, may we all have the courage to fight for liberty and justice for all.

Love & Marriage 101

Why as adults do we insist on making things so complicated? Why are we compelled to pollute our world with hate, discrimination, and misdirected anger?

Let's return to the the child-like simplicity of Sesame Street's Grover and his friends who answer the questions, "What is marriage?" and "What is love?"

Tip It, Kathy!

I came across this photo of red-headed comedienne Kathy Griffin on her myspace page, and it made me laugh.

That's Kathy and her mother Maggie. No joke. Maggie is a bigger star than Kathy Griffin. She is dearly beloved through out the world...and Kathy...not so much.

Much to my own mother's dismay, I am addicted to My Life on the D-list.

"Beej, how can you watch that trash? She's turned so mean since she left Regis."

I know she's got a filthy mouth, I know she makes inflammatory anti-religious statements, and I know that she is constantly trying to out Anderson Cooper. But I think she's as funny as all get out, and I love her anyway.

Kathy claims her mom's latest catch phrase is "Tip it, Kathy" which are instructions to get the last bit of wine out of the box. Team Griffin should print some new t-shirts with Maggie's face and the words, "Tip it, Kathy!"

P.S. Both mother and daughter are straight, but love the gays and are actively involved in fighting for marriage equality, hence the sign.

Barack Obama, Adam Lambert, Penguins, and New Hampshire

This has been one gay, faggoty, queer week! The whole thing started with the President of the United States Barack Obama declaring June "Lesbain, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month." Don't believe me? HERE is the actual decree from the Black Stallion's own website. What can I say, Barry loves the gays.

Then in not-so-earth-shattering news, American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert was scene playing handsies in public with his hottie boyfriend after it was announced that Glambert would do an Ellen-esque, "Duhh... Of course I'm gay" cover for August's Rolling Stone.

Next, two gay penguins in Germany successfully hatched an egg together. The two "pink birds of the family" are not the first homo-penguins, (apparently gay penguins are quite common). They're just the first in Germany. It's like Tango Makes Three part Zwei. Fascinating story really. Click HERE to read more. But seriously, is anybody really that shocked? I mean they are always over-dressed and they walk funny. Could penguins be any more gay?

Finally, the state of New Hampshire officially became the sixth state in America to legalize same-sex marriage. New England is now officially the gayest place on earth. Even gayer than the boys dormitory at Focus on the Family Institute. Just sayin'.

And now to top it off, enjoy Joe Jonas (the Brother with the good hair) in a unitard dancing to Beyonce's All the Single Ladies. This is the gayest week ever! Some where in heaven Paul Lynde is dancing a jig with his new hag Bea Arthur.

The Sexiest Wedding Ever! Cynthia Nixon Edition

Sex in the City kitten Cynthia Nixon and long time lady-lover Christine Marinoni just announced their official engagement! (Well... sort of.)

They announced this weekend at a gay rights rally that they will wed in holy matrimony the moment New York allows it, which could be any minute or not, (now that Gov. David Paterson has pledged to sign a same-sex marriage bill into law if it passes both state houses.)

But Miss Nixon doesn't want put on her finest flannel gown and Birkenstocks for some second-class civil union. She wants the real deal, full fledged married. Otherwise, what's the point?

"I don’t really want to get married to get married pretend. I think we’d like to do it in a real, actual, legal way that the state would recognize."

It's gonna be the sexiest wedding in the history of the world! It will be so hot it should have it's own name. How about, Gingerfest!

Forget Sex in the City the Sequel, someone get me tickets to Gingerfest!

That's So Gay: Marriages in Maine

We are witnessing history right before our eyes! Can you believe it? It's all happening so fast.

The state of Maine voted to allow same-sex marriages in the state! This is just after Iowa agreed to do the same thing.

New Hampshire also approved a bill in the senate and house, and now it awaits approval from the governor. So it could happen there any second too!

Gay marriages are springing up everywhere!

Maine is the 5th official state to legalize same-sex marriage licenses. (They would have been number 6 but you know... the whole Proposition 8 thingy in California.)

Congrats to Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, Iowa, and Maine (and soon to be New Hampshire).

Love is in the air and so is change.

I Hate Heidi Montage a Little Less Now

I have no real reason to hate Heidi Montag. Actually, the words "real" and "Heidi Montag" have never even appeared in the same sentence before.

But this week in the wake of the Miss California gay-marriage-pageant-question debacle, Miss Montag came to the defense of the fags. Now I am forced to dislike her slightly less than before.

"God says in the Bible that we should love our neighbor and He created us all as equals. I know in my heart that gays and lesbians should have the same government rights that Spencer and I will when we get married. So, yes, this blond Christian believes in gay marriage."

What have we learned from this? If The Hills gets canceled, she runs out of marriage publicity stunts, and her music career never takes off, then Heidi can always become a televangelist!

A Big Gay Storm is Brewing. It's Gonna Start Raining Men!

The Original Public Service Announcement (Not a Joke).



Stephen Colbert's Parody.

Funny or Die's Parody.


I'm not sure which of the three is the funniest. All I know is, after watching these videos all I can think of is the Weather Girls song "It's Rainin' Men! Hallelujah! It's raining men. Amen!"

Choose Love Not Hate: Prop 8 the Musical

What would happen if you set the drama of the passage of Proposition 8 in California to a big gay musical? The answer: Gold. Pure Gold.

Then toss in Jack Black as a shrimp-cocktail-eating Jesus and you've got a classic.

John C. Reilly, Jennifer Lewis, Kathy Najimy, Margaret Cho, and hunkalicious Neil Patrick Harris are just a few of the names that star in this beyond fabulous telling of the passage of the amendment that wrote discrimination into the language of Calfornia's constitution.

Here's a sample lyric, "People listen to our plea, they'll teach our children about sodomy!" Seriously, after reading that, how can you NOT watch the video?

I think we should all heed the words of singing Jesus when interpreting Scripture, "It seems to me you pick and choose. So, please choose love instead of hate."

Disclaimer: Uptight bigots need not apply. Please, be offended elsewhere. Thanks.

Love Is Not a Fight... But It's Something Worth Fighting For

Warren Barfield has a beautiful song that was featured in the movie Fireproof.

The title of the song preaches an entire liturgy all by itself.

Love Is Not a Fight...But It's Something Worth Fighting For.

I've included the lyrics and a video of the song featuring the lyrics. Take the time to listen to it today. I hope it encourages you. Whatever you're fighting for today.

Love is not a place
to come and go as we please.
It’s a house we enter in
and then commit to never leave.

Lock the door behind you,
throw away the key.
We’ll work it out together,
let it bring us to our knees

Love is a shelter in the raging storm.
Love is peace in the middle of a war.
If we try to leave, may God send His angels to guard the door.
No, love is not a fight but it’s something worth fighting for.

To some, love is a word
that they can fall into.
But when they’re falling out,
keeping that word is hard to do.

Love will come to save us
if we’ll only call.
He will ask nothing of us,
but demand we give our all

I will fight for you.
Would you fight for me?
It’s worth fighting for.

Join the Impact Around the Nation

Please watch this impassioned commentary by newsman Keith Olbermann. He is commenting on the ramifications of California's Proposition 8 that passed on November 4th, 2008.

Here's a brief timeline of same-sex marriage laws in California:

In 2000 California passed Proposition 22 defining marriage as "between a man and a woman."

In 2004 San Francisco started issuing same-sex marriages licenses regardless of Prop 22. (This is when Rosie O'Donnell got married.) The California Supreme Court ordered those marriages void because they were not government sanctioned.

In 2005 the legislature passed a law to allow same-sex marriage. Governor Schwarzenegger vetoed it. The same thing happened again in 2007.

In May of 2008, the California Supreme Court ruled Proposition 22 violated citizens' civil rights and was therefore unconstitutional. Thus legalizing same-sex marriage for the first time in the state. Since that time 18,000 same-sex couples have been legally married in the state. From that time until election day, anti-gay proponents rallied to amend the state's constitution.

In November of 2008, Proposition 8 passed and superseded the Supreme Court decision because it actually amended the state's Constitution. Therefore it is now completely constitutional to violate citizens' civil rights because it has been written into the constitution itself.

From that moment til now, thousands of citizens all across the country have been taking their message to the streets. Civil Rights Marches are scheduled for today in every state all across the nation.

Protect Marriage: Outlaw Divorce

Before last week's election day, I followed a link to some random website talking about Proposition 8 (which eventually passed and outlawed approximately 18,000 same-sex marriages in California).

I wrote what I thought was a harmless and witty comment which spurred a flurry of crazed religio-political diatribes.

I essentially said this, "Gays don't threaten the sanctity of marriage, divorce does. If we stoned to death the people who commit adultery, magically marriage would be sacred again, and no one would get a divorce."

The replies were filled with all kinds of maniacal rants about the Jews, Jesus, and Lucifer. Why do people always have drag the Jews into things? Haven't Barbra's people suffered enough? But I digress.

Apparently the folks over at FunnyorDie.com saw the same irony as I did. They've made a video about banning divorce.

Check it out, then leave your own diatribe. I'm waiting gleefully.

Biblical Definition of Marriage

Once a week I like to set aside a day and stop talking about Lindsay Lohan's hair and David Beckham's abs to share what's really on my heart. I call it "Deep Sundays." I know it's not for everybody, but it's a time for me to show you who I really am and what I believe.

Soon, people all over the nation will be going to the polls and electing our next President. However, there are other ballot issues that will effect peoples lives in monumental ways. Specifically votes to amend states' constitutions to ban same-sex marriages, therefore defining marriage between a man and a woman.

Those in favor of such amendments usually claim it is because that is the Bible's way of defining marriage. I respectfully disagree with their premise. Nowhere in Scripture is marriage defined as such.

Marriage is a covenant between two people who love each other and want to legally join their lives together. God loves love. He is Love. I agree the Bible teaches fornication and promiscuity and prostitution are sinful. No one is arguing to include those as part of civil marriage.

Do I believe the Old Testament condemns homosexuality? Yes, it condemns many things. The Old Testament contains physical pictures of spiritual truths. I believe, the Jews had to define marriage as a man and a woman to show the relationship of Christ as the husband of the Church. Do I believe I am under the Law? No, I do not.

Does Jesus condemn homosexuality? No, he never mentions it. Does the New Testament condemn homosexuality? No. However, the Greek text does condemn: prostitution, temple prostitution, child molestation, same-sex affairs among married men, and sex-slavery. Am I advocating for any of those? No, of course not.

Nowhere in scripture is a committed same-gender relationship condemned. In fact it's the opposite, because loves Love in all it's forms. "The soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul." (1Samuel chapters 18-20).

Condemnation (whether it is coming from others or from inside our own minds) is NOT from God. God is not the Damner! He is the Blesser! (John 10:10.)

The Bible describes Satan as the accuser and condemner! Sadly, condemnation has slipped into the Church, and become the norm. But, I've got GOOD NEWS! There is now NO condemnation for those who are in Christ! The Spirit of Life has set us free from the Law of sin and death and made us alive in Christ Jesus! There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, MALE nor FEMALE, but ALL are one in Christ! (Romans 8 & Galatians 3:28).

God doesn't look at our outsides, (including what gender we are or the gender of the one we love). Gender is irrelevant to Him. He looks at our hearts! What's important is: Do you LOVE the LORD with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength? Do you LOVE your NEIGHBOR as YOURSELF?

Remember, God is the one who said, "It's not right for man to be alone."

So, I teach people to say, "I am loved by God. I am accepted by God. I am approved by God. I love myself. I accept myself. I approve of myself."

I don't let others' opinions of me rule my life. But I decided to share this private part of my life to answer any questions may have about my stance on this issue. The Bible is not a weapon to be used against people. (It's a weapon against evil spirits, not God's people.) It is meant to edify. That's what I do.

Grace is a free gift, given to whosoever will believe it. We don't do anything to earn it. The only condition to experiencing it is "whosoever believes." Faith pleases God, the rest was paid for by Jesus' sacrifice.

That's all I know.

The Sanctity of Marriage

This week a very historic event happened while no one noticed. It was barely mentioned on the mainstream media. They were too busy discussing Barack Obama's middle name, Sarah Palin's misconduct, and squawking about the stock market to report or explain the significance of what happened in Connecticut on Friday.

The Connecticut Supreme Court struck down the state's ban on same-sex marriage and ruled such a law as unconstitutional. The court's 4-3 decision found that limiting marriage to heterosexual couples and creating a separate institution for same-sex couples denies gays and lesbians equal protection under the law.

The ruling takes effect on October 28 and makes Connecticut the third state in the nation to recognize same-sex marriages behind Massachusetts and California.

The court found that the institution of marriage is special and sacred. Therefore, the very reasons why anti-gay marriage proponents want to deny same-sex couples the right to use the word "marriage" are the exact reasons why same-sex couples must not be denied the right to use the word. "Civil union" doesn't hold the same power. The court therefore found that the state had been labeling gays and lesbians as separate and unequal second-class citizens.

State-to-state definitions of marriage are completely illogical. It only seems logical that if two people are legally recognized as married in one state, it should stay intact no matter where they move. But the fact is, currently, if the same couple moves elsewhere, their marriage is dissolved. Leaving the definition of marriage up to the states will eventually force the national Supreme Court to make a similar ruling.

Interracial couples experienced similar scenarios in the 1950's and 1960's when the definition of marriage for interracial couples was left up to the states. It forced the hand of the U.S. Supreme Court to remove race from the criterion for who can and cannot be married. Thus making interracial marriage legal across America. The same is inevitable for gender as a criteria.
