No, I heard it’s a dump.

That many religious sects (Episcopals, Presbyterians, etc) have openly gay and lesbian pastors and church leaders and perform same sex marriages exactly as they do opposite sex marriages escaped your attention?

I’ve always wanted to ask a murderous religious zealot why they would violate the first commandment to enforce some much more banal rule, and what their god would think of that. Morally it’s so repugnant to me as a secular humanist that I can’t even conceive of his pureile hate-crusted little heart, but even just…

I’m 31. How would I have voted for Clinton?

None of this can undo the damage he caused during his decades as a predator. And this kind of fallout is a far cry from the justice he should have seen for his crimes. This all took far, far too long to happen, but I’m still reveling in the fact that for once, a serial criminal is facing some real consequences.

I have never wanted to be your friend IRL before. This comment just took my quiet admiration of your posts to another level.

See my immediate feeling was “GET OUT OF MY FANDOM, TED CRUZ”

I certainly disagree that Star Trek wasn’t and doesn’t continue to be (at most with the exception of the last two movies, which were made to appeal to wider audiences) political. The role of scifi is to explore current political and social issues through a lens that allows us the distance necessary to assess and…

“Look at what you made us do”?

I don’t for one second believe that he doesn’t think he did anything wrong. I think he doesn’t give a fuck, but I think he knows it was wrong. He just thought he was above getting caught.

Dying amid shame and disavowal by everyone is the least he deserves, and I hope he feels every minute of it. Let the ostracism begin.

No no, see - only gay people would have to register online for a marriage licence. Straight couples still have to go in person so Casey Davis can high-five them on Jesus’s behalf. Or something.

Individual religious beliefs have nothing to do with who the state should allow to marry. If someone’s opposed to same sex marriage, they should refrain from entering one themselves and should join a religious denomination that shares their views, but there’s no reason a person who opposes same sex marriage on…

Prisms are the devil’s instruments! They turn normal, upstanding white folks into sinful homosexuals!

My mom basically said the same thing to me when I was 7 in 1992 and she was helping her friend get ready for a drag show. “You know how you like boys? Well sometimes boys like boys and girls like girls, and sometimes those boys like to wear dresses and sing Diana Ross songs.” I was like, “Cool, can I do Perry’s…

OMG YES! I was at my sister in law’s recently and we were looking through a bridal magazine with her daughters. One of the photographs included 2 brides getting married. One of her kids (age 4) asked why there were 2 brides in that picture. My SiL responded “well you know how ‘so-and-so in your class has 2 mommies?’…

The rabbit hole goes so much deeper than that, Mr. Stair.

That’s not how Republicans work though. They can’t conceive of people living by an internal moral code unless it’s legislated for everyone.
