Tweet In today’s news, we learned that Muslims in Libya kidnapped twelve men that they claimed were homosexuals in order to execute them: Extremists say they will execute a dozen men they allege are homosexuals, whom they abducted last Thursday at a private party in Tripoli’s Ain Zara district. A body calling itself the ‘Private [...]

Tweet The Daily Mail created a lovely matched set, showing side-by-side stories that perfectly illustrate the difference between life in a 21st century Sharia state and life in a 21st century Christian state: Life in a Sharia state: “We, the state, are going to kill gays.” Life in a Christian state: “I’d like to warn [...]

Tweet Paying work places its demands on me, but I thought you’d like to see and think about (and perhaps comment upon) an article that tries to imagine what it would be like if the newly discovered gospels reveal that Jesus was an openly gay man. I find it a bit peculiar insofar as it [...]

Tweet In a sec, I’ll link to the cool blog posts I get to read today as part of my gig on the Watcher’s Council. However, I also wanted to give you a heads up about a debate the Watcher’s Council hosted on the merits of the President’s decision to repeal DADT during war time. [...]

Tweet Rodney King got his 15 minutes of fame for (a) getting beaten up while resisting arrest; (b) having his name attached to some horrific riots; and (c) plaintively asking “Can we get along?” The last is a great thought. I’d like to get along with people better myself. “Getting along,” though, presupposes that people [...]

Tweet I’m beginning to get a good sense of the requirements for a writing gig at the New York Times. Their editorial and employment departments carefully cull all comers for two main traits: an IQ that doesn’t exceed the double digits, and a complete lack of common sense and logic. Walk into the door with [...]

Tweet In 1931, Nancy Langhorne Astor’s son Robert Gould Shaw III was arrested for committing a homosexual act (in a park, I believe). This was a continuation of a long-standing British public policy of prosecuting “sodomists.” Arguably the most famous prosecution was that against Oscar Wilde, for public indecency. The trial, scandal and imprisonment destroyed [...]

Tweet You and I know the incredible peculiarities of the Leftist world, which sees feminists ignoring sharia’s worst outrages and gay activists who are out in full cry trying to establish a fully Muslim Middle East, a place in which the only good gay activist will be a dead gay activist. As to the latter, [...]

Tweet The San Francisco Examiner online has a big section on Gay Pride Week. It reminded me of why I’ve always found gay self-identification strikingly different from all other major group identifications. There is no doubt that people tend to try to find like people, and this is true whether they group themselves by religion, [...]
