That tentacle gets around.

"My partner just bought a new car." So... what kind of business are you in? Oh, you meant your spouse. Sorry.

I think Anderson Cooper had a salient point, recently (with regard to Mr. Sperling), when he mentioned that not one KKK member and skinhead and nutjob racist he's ever interviewed has yet to admit they are racist; they refer to what they are as lovers and protectors of white folk, not haters of folks of color other…

More likely he'll die.. then come to in a room filled with ducks holding baseball bats.

The closest translation to Aramaic I've been able to find lists homosexuality (in Leviticus, anyhow, where a host of laws are introduced) as an abomination, rather than a sin.

So, because he said it in church, it's okay? Pretty sure that if he says bigoted shit in any kind of building, he's still a bigot. *Pretty* sure.

Indeed. The location in which you communicate your hatred and malign people makes a difference. I will take a day or two to come up with reasons for that, because right now I'm coming up empty.

I love dragging out the Duck Dynasty before photos:

But shrimp and bacon are delicious, and giving them up is nowhere near as much fun as judging other people based on your lurid fantasies about their sex lives.

You guys, I don't hate black people, I just think being black is a sin. I'm not racist right?

Dost thou meanest "homophobe"? Art thou so breathless to defend this pillock of man that thou must dash off your internet correspondence without first stopping to check thine spelling?

You're being sarcastic right?

I had a similar thing happen to me! In the middle of a full body mole mapping with a new dermatologist, he said "Do you people you ever look like a certain musician" and I said "no not really, why?" and then he said "oh look you have a freckle in between your butt cheeks" and I got so flustered I NEVER FOUND OUT THE…

I want Rooney Mara, I have this whole subplot of them having to work a figure skating competition and Rooney has to double for Johnny Weir after an assassination attempt, I have a whole powerpoint about it.

I don't have issues with Hudson, a straight male, lending support to the LGBTQ cause. Yet, not outing someone who just came out is literally one of the first things you learn in LGBTQ sensitivity. It'd get you immediately expelled from pretty much any organization if you did that as an employee or volunteer, as again…

So, what you're saying is that, ironically, it's the straight guy who's the drama queen in this story.

Shocking that a profane, angry authority figure stupid enough to be taped would be from Whittier.

Excellent piece Barry. Although, I'd like to offer my thoughts on a particular line: Coming out is now a stage-managed media event, scripted and choreographed in a way that ensures America receives only the most telegenic version of what at bottom is still a deeply personal act.

Oh, other prom story: my junior prom (the one where my boyfriend took another girl because he was an idiot) was not very interesting. One of my friends had a tendency to get carsick and brought some dramamine (sp?), but did not have a tiny satin purse to hold it in. I offered to hold it for her. Turns out she…
