Don't hint, don't wink: An immodest proposal

The Most Hilarious Piece You'll Ever Read About Gays in the Military
D.C. comedy site "The Daily Caller" has a hilarious piece today, extremely Swiftian and sophisticated in its humor and irony! It is by a former Tennessee District Attorney, named Joe Rehyansky. It goes like this: "I have never encountered my eminently sensible proposal, one that protects the patriotic urges of some Homosexuals as well as the national interest on the basis of 'force readiness' arguments which should govern the thinking of those charged with implementing t...

Here Is an Insight Into the Kind of Logic Some Dont Ask, Dont Tell Supporters Are Using
"Did somebody say, beef parade?" Photo: iStockphoto.com It's always frustrating when Liberals or Conservatives take one crazy person spouting off nonsense and try to paint the entire opposing team with the same brush. So when we read a particularly bananas editorial about Gays in the Military on the website of the Daily Caller, we certainly did not assume that everyone who is against repealing the Military's ...

No homos in the military! Sort of.
Good to see Tucker's Toilet is meeting its goal of becoming a legit alternative to Huffington Post with pieces like "Don’t hint, don’t wink: An immodest proposal." It's a clever little thought-provoker from some guy I've never heard of - and strenuously hope never to hear of again - about how gays should be banned from the Military...but Lesbians shouldn't. Turns out, according to Joseph A. Rehyansky of Human Events, that man-queers are too promiscuous for the Military. Girl-queers...

Hate Is A Family Value
The Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks such things, has designated the Family Research Council as a "Hate Group."The SPLC gave the Family Research Council the designation due to anti-gay Speech from its leaders, which the SPLC says includes calls for Gay men and Lesbians to be imprisoned. Groups are labeled hate groups by the SPLC -- which made a name for itself by using civil Lawsuits to severely weaken the KKK and other white supremacist groups -- when they "have beliefs or practices th...

Family Research Council Labeled 'Hate Group' By SPLC Over Anti-Gay Rhetoric
The Family Research Council is perhaps the most prominent voice in conservative social politics and the hosts of an annual rite of passage for many Republicans who hope to run for president. And now, FRC is on the same Southern Poverty Law Center list of Hate Groups as the Ku Klux Klan. The SPLC gave the Family Research Council the designation due to anti-gay Speech from its leaders, which the SPLC says includes calls for Gay men and Lesbians to be imprisoned. Labeling the Family Research Cou...

Fox News Rejects Gay Troops Ad
Apparently Fox News is afraid of any opinions not their own - especially if they’re - gasp - foreign! How else explain Fox’s rejection of this simple 30 second ad produced by the Palm Center in which two Generals from allied forces say on May 2010 that gay Troops do not undermine combat effectiveness. Major General Semianiw, Chief of Military Personnel in the Canadian Forces,: “There is no negative impact of having men and women of any Sexual Orientation fight...

FBI’s ‘Hate Crimes’ Report Once Again Dispels Myths
Good news: Hate Crimes went down in 2009. Better news: It’s the lowest number of Hate Crimes since the FBI began reporting them.  Ironic news: In the same year that we now know was the lowest year on record for hate crimes, Congress passed the Speech-chilling, religious-freedom-killing Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Act of 2009. Since the Matthew Shepard Act was a high-priority issue for the Gay Activist lobby, it’s interesting to note that gays and Lesbians wer...

Mixed news on hate crimes
Born Gay? (Theories of Homosexuality) When we first reported on three American anti-gay Activists traveling to Kampala for a three-day conference, we had no idea that it would be the first report of a long string of events leading to a proposal to institute the death penalty for LGBT people. But that is exactly what happened. In this report, we review our collection of more than two hundred posts to tell the story of one nation’s embrace of hatred toward gay people. This report will be up...

Another Conservative Fears DADT Repeal Will Lead to Draft
Last week Kyle reported that Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council feared that allowing Gays and Lesbians to serve openly in the Military will damage recruitment to such an extent that the President would have to “bring back the draft.” Frank Gaffney of the Center for Security Policy is now too sounding the alarm that the Repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell would lead to the collapse of the volunteer military. In his Washington Times column, Gaffney uses the recent panic...

Hate Crimes Drop, But are Gays Safer?
Focus on the Family is heralding new, lower Hate Crime numbers from the FBI as proof that Hate Crime laws protecting Sexual Orientation or gender identity are “speech chilling, and Religious Freedom killing” and not needed. According to the Associated Press, the FBI reported that there were 6,604 Hate Crime incidents reported in 2009, down from 7,783 in 2008. In addition, “there were 8,336 reported victims, down from 9,691 in 2008. The victim totals include not only individuals...

GLSEN: Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network: GLSEN: Gay,Lesbian,Straight Education Network
GLSEN, the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network, today marks the culmination of 10 years of pioneering research documenting the experiences of lesbian, gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Students with the release of The 2009 National School Climate Survey. The 2009 survey of 7,261 middle and High School Students found that at school nearly 9 out of 10 LGBT Students experienced harassment at school in the past year and nearly two-thirds felt unsafe because of their Sexual Orientation.

Outrage in Germany Over Forced Separation of Gay Vultures Guido and Detlef
No, this isn't from The Onion. Even they couldn't dream up something so absurd.Members of Germany’s Gay community were outraged Tuesday after a pair of Homosexual vultures were forcibly parted and made to mate with females. The pair, Guido and Detlef, have become the poster boys for Protests against intolerance, even though they are both predatory males. In a world of Cholera outbreaks, Terrorism threats, imploding banks and decreasing fortunes and species, certain German Gay Rights campaign...

Is It OK to Say "Gay"? - Culture - GOOD
Exploring the different meanings of a Controversial word. The word “Gay” is everywhere you look these days. Gay Activists support Gay Rights such as Gay Marriage, while gay-bashers Protest all things gay, including the gayby boom. There’s also been a rash of suicides involving gay youngsters who were bullied—which is perhaps why the trailer for The Dilemma caught major flak. In it, Vince Vaughn says: “Ladies and gentleman, Electric Cars ... are gay. I mean, not homo...

GOProud plays Wormtongue to GOPs King Theoden
How many movies have you seen where the bad guy sends a saboteur into the good guy’s camp. This person pretends he wants the same end result as the good guy when all the while he’s working to bring him down. Wormtongue of “Lord of the Rings” fame comes to mind with his evil whisperings into King Theoden’s ear as he leads him astray with lies and persuasion. Recently according to Politico, GOProud, the conservative Homosexual group, along with various segments of the Tea Party

My animal rights heroism
I will not be covering the North Korea skirmish with South Korea because we do not have all the facts. It could be anything from World War III to a mistake (yeah right). Nothing should be ruled in or out. I will also not be spending any more time on the Thanksgiving Day airport situation because my attempt to have the ladies on Desperate Housewives turned into honorary Airport Security for the week has failed. Without Teri Hatcher or Eva Longoria doing the frisking, I think I will stay home. So ...

Lesbians are actually kinda hot and make good soldiers too
So sign ‘em up for Team America: World Police. There’s a lot to savor here: The time machine that takes you back to 1953; the just-so evolutionary biology; the characteristically creepy mixture of obsession with and attraction/repulsion toward the subject matter; the sexualization of the work place. It’s a heady brew, as Agent Van Alden might say. Update: I read this after The Daily Caller had removed the original final sentence, which per the Amanda Hess piece Scott links abo...

Do 'gay' passengers getopposite-sex pat downs?
Apparently, the Terrorist-detection procedures of the Obama Administration are derived from the age-old method used to tell if puppies are boys or girls. One just has to hold up the puppy in question and have a look. Or, as the method's equivalent works down at the Transportation Security Administration, one just pulls Granny out of the line and performs the Safe Skies Samba. If only there were some way for the TSA to tell Muslim terrorists who want to blow up a plane from Episcopalian grandm...

Rubin to WaPo
Jennifer Rubin moves from Commentary to the Washington Post's op-ed pages, which is obviously a smart move for both parties. (Rough deal for Commentary, though.) Rubin had toiled in the vineyards of Pajamas Media and Commentary and the American Spectator for years, starting with smart stories that untangled complicated legal issues, moving to Foreign Policy and political punditry -- with stories that actually fact-checked the politicians whom other writers were letting off easy -- and becoming o...

The Associated Press: FBI: Hate crime incidents, victim numbers down
WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of Hate Crime incidents and Victims declined in 2009 compared with the previous year, the FBI reported Monday. Of more than 6,000 Hate Crime offenders, over six in 10 were white while nearly two in 10 were black. Nearly half of the crime incidents in 2009 were motivated by racial bias, nearly 20 percent by religious bias and over 18 percent by Sexual Orientation bias. More than half the reported Hate Crimes against individual people were assaults, said the FBI. On...

Fox News Rejects Ad On Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal (VIDEO)
WASHINGTON -- Fox News has rejected an advocacy group's ad on repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell (DADT), in which generals from around the world say that allowing Gay men and women to serve openly is no Big Deal. "I am surprised that Fox News would reject an ad featuring allied Generals, given that both host Bill O'Reilly and guest contributor Liz Cheney have expressed support for open Gay service," said Palm Center director Aaron Belkin in a statement. "This is an important time for input from ...

Alvin McEwen: Family Research Council, American Family Association Named as Anti-Gay Hate Groups
Yesterday, the Southern Poverty Law Center added five more organizations to its list of anti-gay hate groups, including some names that are long overdue. The new groups are: American Family Association Americans For Truth About Homosexuality Dove World Outreach Center Family Research Council Illinois Family Institute This brings the total of anti-gay hate groups to 18 and all of them are profiled in exact detail by SPLC. Other groups profiled by SPLC but not designated as official hate groups ...

Wednesday This & That: Open Thread
It's an open thread! Pleeeeease feel free to chat, blogwhore, and link-share in the comment thread... So, this is what my cartoon sockpuppet Bookworm Bob have been looking at since our last This & That post. • I'm quite late on these two stories, but hey -- better late than never.
