Every time I move into a new place, I heave a huge sigh of relief that it's not haunted. we do have this weird dirt cellar thing with bricks piled up on one "wall". I went down there with my bf and a friend once and when my bf tried to move a brick, I drunkenly shouted, "don't disturb the bricks!! that's how shit…

I love Ellen, and think she and Portia are really good human beings. They are my celeb couple who are not allowed to break up.

GOD DAMN, she is hardcore. I am in awe of her.

One of the interesting things about this is that it is nearly always a case of the accuser not having a stake in the question. There is no case in which a straight Christian man will have to evaluate their own actions and say to themselves, "no, having sex with men is wrong, I shouldn't do that despite wanting to."…

Broadway United Methodist Church in Chicago was established in 1891 and survived a fire and a denomination merger.

When your particular branch of Christianity holds up Leviticus to be literal truth, but only for homosexuality so we can all still go to Red Lobster, you have failed at the entire Christian endeavor. Condemning human beings for loving one another is pretty much the exact opposite of what that guy Jesus was preaching.…

I mean, some Christians do. Catholics *really* do, like woah. And it really didn't used to be this way. Christians used to be "the people of the book", more into reading and understanding that reading than the average religion. And you still have to in order to be a theologian, so anyone hoping to become a pastor has…

I think the others have handled your bigotry well, so I'm just going to add a hearty "fuck you" for this little gem:

Dude, "so called Christians"? Who died and made you Jesus?

It's not Christians. It's either just some Christians or certain branches of Christianity. The churches with rainbow flags advertising that everyone's welcome to attend in Boystown do not agree with that reading.

It was one of the DNA things that cost too much and I don't actually trust. My husband was obsessed with figuring out what makes up our dogs unique personalities and was grasping at straws. I was hoping that this tiny bit of information might be a bit useful for the one. Me, I just take them for the slightly weird,…

Pro-lifers only care about controlling the lives of Americans.

I'm always amazed at the staunch pro-lifers who don't give a second thought to buying Chinese-made goods at Walmart. Abortion is a regular part of birth control in China, according to some estimates the average woman has six to nine(!) in her lifetime, and there are many documented cases of factory workers having…

Sooooo... common sense, then?

"Wanting to make" is not the same thing as "is." All of those laws are nationally void, full stop.

And not only that, but most people know killing is wrong and most people aren't murderers. Sure people make jokes about it or make light of it sometimes, but when it actually occurs the murderer is widely condemned and the victim and victim's family, if not given support, are allowed to grieve and most people…

I don't see what's so offensive here. I'm opening my own Law and Order SVU themed brewery. It's going to have a lot of rape and/or pedophilia themed beer, but (don't worry) it won't be offensive because I'll have this disclaimer hanging over the door:

This is very tangentially related (as rape and sex have very little to do with each other) but I just got back from a brewery with A HOST of tongue-in-cheek names for their beers and none of them managed to be horrible and offensive. Perhaps instead of trying to shock everyone with horrible shit people should try to…

"Is assassination, murder, and assault less serious than rape?"

"Rape is a violent crime no doubt. I think you can find a shitload of other beer names (esp IPAs) that refer to murder, assassination, assault, etc. Do you think these are less serious crimes? Are you just overly sensitive to sexual provocation?"
