• This Week in Gayness: Gay Men Overdoing It?

  A story that may make you believe in a higher power, looking down and laughing at the stupids: In Arizona yesterday, a bill that would have put a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage fell in the Senate... by one vote. According to Lee Bolin of the LGBT Caucus: Karen Johnson, the Republican who missed the vote, is so right-wing that she was a Buchanan delegate at the 1996 Republican National Convention.  She must be gnashing her teeth right about now. We should send her our thanks... although that might antagonize her enough to put this thing back up for a vote. Oh well, let's just enjoy it while it lasts. The retirement of Republican State Senate Majority Leader Joe Bruno of New York could put gay marriage in play again in the state. Read More...

• Accused Killer's Crazy Google Searches All The Evidence We Need

  His DNA is on the gun. The gun is probably his father-in-law's. He fled the country as soon as the murders took place. The wound to his baby daughter was caused by the gun being pressed very close to the body, indicating it was no stray bullet but a deliberate attempt by a hateful person. But the most damning evidence in the trial of the crazed British expatriate then living in Massachusetts are his Google searches... Read More...
