Your Wonkette attended a Trevor Project benefit last weekend, which raised money to help combat teen suicide. In case you have been trapped in a Chilean mine for the last two months: There have been a number of recent cases in which gay teens — bullied and harassed because of their sexuality — have taken [...]
Carl Paladino likes to point to his gay nephew, Jeff Hannon, as evidence that he’s no homophobe. That’s funny, because Jeff Hannon seems to think Carl Paladino is a homophobe, as the 23-year-old has stopped showing up to work at the Paladino campaign. This is according to the New York Post, which also wants you [...]
Have you ever gotten into an argument with someone about, say, racial relations, and halfway through it the dude is all like, “Really, anything terrible I say about the blacks is totally not racist because MY SISTER DATES A BLACK GUY AND I’M TOTALLY FINE WITH IT”? This is an annoying but sometimes effective rhetorical [...]
A California federal judge has issued an injunction stopping the military from enforcing its “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy, which bans gays and lesbians from serving openly in uniform. U.S. District Judge Virginia Phillips ruled Tuesday that the policy “infringes the fundamental rights” of military service members and prospective service members, violates their due process [...]
Questioner: “If you were the chief executive of New York, what would your response be to the attorney general of the United States deciding to hold terrorist trials in Manhattan?” Paladino: “F*** him. F*** him.” Your response would be to fuck Eric Holder? SOMEBODY’S BEEN BRAINWASHED BY A GAY PARADE FLOAT! [Hotline]
According to “files obtained by Salon,” 1996 Republican vice-presidential candidate Jack Kemp was investigated by the FBI because everyone thought he was really, really gay. So score one for Salon’s crack investigative team, we guess, for finally bringing down that dead guy who lost his election 14 years ago. The FBI looked into the matter [...]
Michigan Assistant Attorney General Andrew Shirvell’s campaign to stop University of Michigan students from having a student body president WHO IS GAY is apparently over, and now he has taken a leave of absence from his job. That’s too bad! Shirvell’s Facebook profile and blog are now down too. And he will face a disciplinary [...]
Wow. Congressional-page connoisseur Mark Foley is on Twitter. Is he legally allowed to do that? Who knows, but it turns out Foley has been on Twitter since March. He only has 181 followers right now, despite being rather infamous. When he joined, did he have to alert his new Twitter neighbors he’s gotten in trouble [...]
Andrew Shirvell is Michigan’s assistant attorney general, a University of Michigan alum, and absolutely 100 percent heterosexual, according to his Facebook page, which lists one of his interests as “Finding the Right Lady” and includes a picture of him touching a human female! While he’s not busy assisting the real attorney general, he does normal, [...]
In all the revelry over yesterday’s successful filibuster against overturning Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, somebody in Saxby Chambliss’ Atlanta office was on the gay politics blog Joe.My.God. and came up with a unique solution to the question of gays serving in the military: “All Faggots must die.” This person, calling himself “Jimmy,” posted this brilliant [...]
THE SYSTEM WORKS! America can sleep soundly tonight knowing that our nation’s servicemen do not want to have sex with each other — at least not for a few more months. The Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell repeal bill before the Senate failed its cloture vote this afternoon 56-43. Mark Pryor and Blanche Lincoln voted against [...]
Wonkette’s pal Princess Sparkle Pony was reading some boring Washington Post feature about immigration and homosexuality when he noticed a NEWS SCOOP (or just common knowledge that rarely finds its way into the establishment Washington press) about a leading Republican here in the nation’s capital who lives with his secret Latino lover. And everybody knows [...]
Wonkette’s Evan Hurst posts this video of Michele Bachmann’s husband at another blog, because he is two-timing us, and we shall now cry like Meg McCain about this. This video’s description says Marcus Bachmann likes to cure homosexuals of their gayness “as part of his therapy practice.” (By out-gaying them?) [Truth Wins Out]
