“Today, I signed into law a bill that safeguards the rights of women and girls,” Gov. Kim Reynolds (R-Iowa) said in a video posted to X. Sounds good to me! What’s in the bill? Reproductive freedom with abortion and birth ...
Say what you want about Democrats, but at a bare minimum, at least Democratic administrations hired qualified people. For the most part, people appointed by Democratic presidents to, like, lead the fucking country were competent and qualified. The same can ...
Greetings from New Orleans. I’m writing this at my dearest friend’s house in Algiers Point. I have to admit, I wasn’t thrilled with the idea of getting on a plane with the looming prospect of Elon Musk and his Teen ...
I’d like to give a very special fuck you to The New York Times and all of the other major newspapers that went out of their way to get Donald Trump elected. Article after article, the Times positioned Trump like ...
I’m watching the United States fall to fascism in real time and yet the alarm bell that I, and so many others, are ringing is being ignored by the majority of the country. Republicans are all-in on Team Fascism. That’s ...
It is simply impossible to keep up with the barrage of anti LGBTQ+ news coming out of the Trump Administration. Upon taking office, Trump wasted no time signing executive orders to hurt as many marginalized people as possible. On Inauguration ...
Once upon a time, surf mime and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg visited Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago and then it was OK to use slurs against LGBTQ+ people on Facebook and Instagram again. Hooray for freedom! Zuckerberg wasted no time making major changes ...
I’m writing this on Jan. 6, 2025, the day Congress is to certify the election of Donald Trump for a second term. Noticeably absent from the United States Capitol? Progressive rioters scaling the building and breaking in for the purpose ...
By the time you’re reading this, 2024 will be nestled in the dumpster of history, being nibbled on by rats. I’d say good riddance, if we weren’t heading into 2025, the year Trump takes office again and inevitably makes everything ...
On Sunday, Dec. 22, Donald Trump spoke at Turning Point USA’s annual AmericaFest, which is a who’s who of creeps. To the audience of right-wing extremists Trump said, “With the stroke of my pen, on Day 1, we’re going to ...
As I write this, I’m learning that there’s been a shooting at yet another school in the United States. This time in Wisconsin. Reportedly a 15-year-old student shot and killed a teacher and a student and then herself. Other students ...
When I was an adolescent, obsessed with the New Kids On The Block and poring over teen magazines, I saw a lot of Kirk Cameron, star of the TV series “Growing Pains.” Curly-haired and baby-faced, he was the king of ...

It has come to my attention that some Democratic lawmakers and talking heads are blaming Vice President Kamala Harris’s loss on transgender people. Or, more specifically, Democrats being too nice to transgender people. “The Democrats have to stop pandering to ...
Tomorrow is November 5 and I, for one, am dreading the election and at the same time yearning for it to be over. The result is that I am suspended in a purgatory of sorts, where time moves simultaneously ever ...
It’s almost midnight on a Sunday and I really, really wish that I was fast asleep but, alas, I am not. And it sucks. My battle with insomnia has been going on for years now. And every single thing I’ve ...
I have long had nothing but contempt for Log Cabin Republicans. But after reading LCR President Charles Moran’s opinion piece in Newsweek, my immediate response was, “Oh, fuck off.” The Trump Administration was one of the most anti-LGBTQ+ administrations in ...

Can we all just agree that Donald Trump is the absolute worst? Haha. I kid. Not about him being the worst. He is trash. But I know that we cannot all agree on this fact. And that definitely makes me ...
What if I told you that the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that the Biden Administration’s rule protecting LGBTQ+ students from discrimination in schools must be enforced in all 50 states? That would be pretty incredible, wouldn’t it? And by ...
It’s 4 in the morning, and I’m up eating a bowl of Froot Loops and strongly considering getting heavily into transgender. That’s what disgraced former president and convicted felon Donald Trump said about Democratic Party vice presidential candidate Tim Walz. ...
Let me begin by saying that I hate boxing. I think it’s super gross to watch people punch each other in the face for entertainment. But what I hate even more is transphobia. And the treatment of Algerian boxer Imane ...
There comes a time in every man’s life when he has to defend himself against accusations of couch fucking. And now is JD Vance’s time. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, just Google “J.D. Vance” and “couch.” Look, ...
Greetings from sunny and fascist Florida! Yes, that’s right. I’m writing this column from the least LGBTQ-friendly state in the nation. My wife, son and I are here visiting family. Do I wish that I had no family living in ...
Who trashed it best? The students at Spring Hill High in Tennessee who wreaked havoc in their school after hours, destroying and vandalizing school property in a senior prank that went too far? Or the fully grown adults on the ...
Pop quiz time! If you had a dollar for every time a book was banned during the 2023-2024 school year, you would have: The answer is $4,000, though it could also be “all of the above” because the 2023-2024 school ...
The national political and legal landscape for transgender youth in Idaho is… not great! While it should be absolutely appalling that elected leaders in Idaho (where they have a Republican majority) are focused on hurting a very small and very ...

Oh, hey, everybody. How are things going? Are they perfect and great? Why, yes. Yes they are. First of all, everybody’s favorite pathologically lying gay George Santos is running for office again, because of course he is. You may remember ...
North Carolina. Have you heard of it? As far as states go, it’s a pretty big deal. So you’d think if you were one of two major political parties you wouldn’t want your candidate for governor to alienate as many ...
I wish I did not know the name Nex Benedict. At least, I wish I didn’t know the name for the reason that so many of us now do. On Feb. 7, Benedict was beaten by three students in a ...
Recently the Alabama Supreme Court, with their Christian Nationalist Chief Justice Tom Parker, ruled that frozen embryos are literal children. I was listening to a report on the radio and heard a woman say something along the lines of, “I ...

This is a list of my favorite Oreo cookie flavors, in order: This is a list of Oreo flavors I have never tried because they sound revolting: Also, Lady Gaga’s line of Oreos were probably the gayest Oreos ever. Look, ...

As I write this, I am in the hospital for a kidney stone. I’ve had better Saturday nights, let me tell you. The pain meds have kicked in, and I’m really wishing I was sleeping in my own bed. I’m ...
Well shame the fuck on me for giving Gov. Mike DeWine (R-Ohio) any praise at all for vetoing a bill aimed at gender-affirming care for minors. I should have known better. DeWine really did veto the bill after reportedly talking ...
As 2023 draws to a close, we can count on Congressional Republicans to be doing the important work of the American people. Ha, just kidding. They are currently focused on… impeaching President Joe Biden based on zero evidence. They’ve got ...
Well, they did it. They expelled George Santos from Congress. I honestly didn’t think it would happen. Let’s pour one out for George “Proud Gay Thief” Santos, as “Saturday Night Live” called him. I have to admit, I did not ...
I threw out my back today. I have only myself to blame. I was doing something dangerous, something I should have asked someone to help me with. And that something was bending slightly to get a towel from under the ...
I’m not really a parade person. I’ve never understood the allure of Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade (MTDP). New York is really cold in late November. I’ve caught glimpses of the parade on TV over the years, and even that feels ...
Once upon a time, there was a very, very, very boring day in a very, very, very boring world full of very, very, very boring people. And it was absolutely the best day ever. I am old enough to remember ...

I am gutted by the fighting between Israelis and Palestinians right now. I’m no foreign policy expert, but I do know that nothing good can come from one group of people not seeing another group of people as human. Needless ...
My wife and I went to the movies recently and managed not to vape, take selfies, act disruptively or grope each other. These things are, as I understand, traditional acts of heterosexual mating and/or cries for help when one is ...
I just learned that there will not be a second season of “A League of Their Own,” and that is a big bummer. Abbi Jacobson is a goddess and a genius and a star and this is an outrage. To ...
