Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Ricky Rebel not only created a sparkling YMCA/MAGA parody video, but he also uploaded a video beautifully expressing why he supports Trump. Okay, maybe it’s because I hit my teens in the 1970s, but I think that the Village People’s YMCA will go down as one of the great songs

The American Academy of Pediatricians’ official policy relies on faith, not science, to prescribe hormones and surgery for so-called transgender children. [UPDATED 2024.08.26: The AAP Policy Statement that is at the heart of this post is still current, and the list of published articles (at the bottom of the post,

San Francisco’s ubiquitous rainbow flags, symbols of alternative sexualities, made me want to rescue the rainbow from its ghetto and return it to the world. And I will establish my covenant with you [Noah], neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither

There are reasons for you to be very afraid of the social media crackdown on conservatives (even fringe ones), plus other scary stuff in today’s world. Democrats prepare for 2020 by silencing conservatives. If I had to identify the scariest news today, it would be Twitter’s purge of conservatives, which
Continue readingI know this is going to surprise those of you used to my usual output of posts, but I’m suffering from writer’s block. The last few weeks have been so chaotic, my opportunities to write so random and infrequent, and the news of the world so overwhelming that, now that
Continue readingThe kids return to school on Wednesday and I have the hope — faint, admittedly, but still the hope — that my life will return to normal then. I’m not complaining about life during the summer. I’ve enjoyed sleeping in every day, I’ve enjoyed the freedom from schedules, and I’ve
Continue readingI was in San Francisco during the peak AIDS years. I remember how death stalked the streets (many, many people I knew died) and I remember how deeply in denial the gay community was. The most visible sign of that denial was the fight to keep open the gay bath
Continue readingThe online magazine IndieWire has noted something interesting: movies with gay leading characters aren’t doing big box office. In the 90s, movies such as The Birdcage (based on the audience tested La Cage aux Folles), Philadelphia (about the still-headlining catching scourge AIDS), and In & Out (with a pleasing Kevin

Continue readingIn 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
Continue readingGay Patriot has a post up about the nasty insults he receives as a gay man. These don’t come from right wing homophobes, though. They come from Leftists. Read his post and you’ll see. I’ll only add that, aside from being green with envy that he met Glenn Reynolds, I’m
Continue readingIn my previous post, I talked about the way in which the Left desperately tries to cubby-hole people, events and ideas, without any real understanding of what lies beneath those labels. Seconds after I finished writing that post, I read this newspaper article, which sounds like a parody, but isn’t:
Continue readingOn the subject of the “secular humanism religion” that guides liberals, it’s informative to read this quotation from William Kristol, writing about Obama’s sudden imperative need to do away with Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell in the American military: But the repeal is something that Obama campaigned on. He believes in

Continue readingI’m a libertarian and a child of San Francisco in the 1970s. What this means is that I believe, very strongly, that people should be allowed to engage in same sex relationships. I also believe that people who are homosexual (and any subset of that, such as lesbian, bisexual, etc.),
