In Palm Springs, California, the police ran a sting where gay men were asked to take out their penis by an attractive man without a shirt. Were there multiple cases of gay men taking out their penis because asked by attractive, shirtless men? No. This wasn't an example of...
One would think there wouldn't be many NFL football players who support marriage equality for gays in the U.S. One might be wrong though. The vast majority of NFL players are under 30 and the vast majority of those under 30 support marriage equality. Well, a Baltimore Ravens...

Thoughts on a few different stories:
Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin, a Democrat, is running for the Wisconsin U.S. Senate race against former governor Tommy Thompson. Thompson's campaign, though campaign senior adviser and spokesman Brian Nemoir, stated in an e-mail...

Some, but not all, Christians believe that there should be no marriage equality for gay couples, because their supposed god says so. First this illustrates the belief of these people, that we should live in a semi-theocracy. They do not believe that the American people are...

The Republican party platform is slamming President Obama for his opposition to human rights violations of gays, in developing nations. I guess that would include his opposition to bills, such as in Uganda, that would kill gays for consensual sex. The Oklahoma Republican...
At a 2006 hearing on a proposed Maryland ban to prohibit gay marriage, Jamie Raskin, professor of law at American University testified against such a ban. At the end of his testimony, Republican State Senator Nancy Jacobs said: "Mr. Raskin, my Bible says marriage is only...

"I think it’s that: It’s a travesty that people have forced someone who is gay to have to make their case that they deserve the same basic rights as someone else. I'll tell you this: Religion is far more of a choice than homosexuality. And the protections that we have for...
