Gay Governor Charlie Crist Makes Up Girlfriend In Interview

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

The New York Times Magazine’s Deborah Solomon has a reputation for being very “forward” in her weekly interviews. Or sometimes it’s just very unprepared, like that time she asked Stephen Colbert about his dad, and Colbert said his dad died in a plane crash when he was 10, and Solomon responded, “I’m so sorry. I had no idea.” Ha ha, weird! She is terribly awkward, which made this Sunday’s interview with Florida’s secretly gay Governor Charlie Crist such a profound occasion. MORE »

Oklahoma Rep. Sally Kern Hates The Gays With Vigorous, Sultry Passion

Monday, March 10th, 2008

The question is, does she drive a Subaru?The past several years have taught us all a valuable lesson: the nuttiness of a Republican legislator’s homophobic rantings is directly proportional to the secret gay shame of that legislator, and inversely correlated to the amount of time before that person gets busted doing the thing they professed to find so repugnant. By this math, Oklahoma State Representative Sally Kern will be discovered by week’s end trolling for muff in the ladies’ room of the World Golf Hall of Fame. MORE »


Tom Brokaw Hates The Gays!

Wednesday, November 28th, 2007

brok.jpgGay activist Frank Kameny got so mad while reading Tom Brokaw’s latest book, BOOM! Voices of the Sixties, that he took his feathered quill, dipped it in pink ink, and wrote Tom Brokaw a really, really mean letter. Addressed to Brokaw and his editors at Random House, Kameny was angered mostly over how Brokaw failed to tip his hat the gays. By “simply delet[ing] the momentous events of that decade which led to the vastly altered and improved status of gays in our culture today…. One does not hear even one single gay voice in your book. The silence is complete and deafening.” Radar reported that “at post time, attempts to contact Brokaw and his editor at Random House, like his book, were fruitless.” Hi-O! Brokaw No Friend of the Gays? {Radar]


Mmmmmm Me Want VOTING RIGHTS

Monday, December 5th, 2005

Dead Gay SoldierTonight, Showtime airs the most relevant political drama about zombies since “Night of the Living Dead’s” examination of race and violence…no, since “Dawn of the Dead’s” condemnation of consumerism… since “28 Days Later’s” disturbing allegory for the war on terror. What are we saying? Pretty much all zombie movies are politically relevant. But Showtime will be airing the most recent one, as part of their low-budget schlock horror series, “Master of Horror.” In it, dead soldiers returning from Iraq emerge from their coffins and demand voting rights, a cause that finds easy support among Republicans (and Chicago natives) until they discover that the “zombie dissidents” intend to exercise their franchise for “anyone who will end this evil war.” We had planned to have you insert your own Cindy Sheehan joke here, but apparently the film’s creator (”Gremlin” and “Toy Soldiers” helmer Joe Dante) already thought of it. We’re at a loss to envision how the movie could possibly be even more offensive to those likely to be offended by these sorts of things, though we hear some of the dead soldiers are gay. MORE »

Real Estate Boom: Armageddon Apartments?

Monday, November 14th, 2005

14ThtRecent reports that the area real estate market is finally cooling probably have a lot of worried investors looking to God, but only Pastor Theresa Garrison of the Church of the Rapture got an early direct line: “Garrison always says that God channels his wishes through her, and when He said, ‘Sell,’ it was near the peak of a commercial real estate boom on 14th Street.” The Washington Post has been reporting on the gentrification of the corner of 14th and T, and the sale of the 30-year-old church was a watershed moment in letting loose the flood of urban settlers. At first — in a nod to the church’s legacy — the luxury apartments were to be called “Rapture Lofts.” Developers then thought about the target demo a little more closely. It will be called “T Street Flats.” Garrison is pleased with the name change: “See, I found out that the rent is gonna be so high that only the rich homosexuals and lesbians will be able to buy this condominium.” And bad news for bargain hunters: In case of rapture, these lofts will remain occupied.

“Election” Day Slowness

Tuesday, November 8th, 2005

GaygaygayThere have been complaints that we’re not posting enough lately, especially seeing as how it’s “Election Day.” Ha-ha. “Election Day.” You almost had us fooled! New Jersey is “electing” a governor? Is it even a state? Oh, and, sure: “Kaine” versus “Kilgore.” Those aren’t even real names. And in Texas, we’re supposed to believe that an anti-gay marriage bill will pass because it’s backed by the Ku Klux Klan. Riiiiiight. MORE »

Miers to Gays: Down in Front!

Wednesday, October 5th, 2005

Let’s review what we know what we know about Harriet Miers so far: She’s a 60-year-old single born again Christian man-eater and a dithering, detail- (and birthday-)obsessed crony who could probably dress herself better in the dark. None of that, of course, answers the question foremost on the, uhm, minds of Wonkette readers: Where does she stand on ass-fucking? MORE »

Women’s Group Takes On Lady’s-Size Fight

Monday, August 29th, 2005

Actually They Asked Me To Do One Of These TooThe Seattle Times reports that Concerned Women for America (a moniker which brings to mind a roomful of worry wrinkles) has found a new battleground in the war against the homosexual agenda, and it is the back of a coffee cup. They’re mad at Starbucks because of an Armistead Maupin quote, saying that the company should “stay out of these issues so that they don’t offend conservatives and people of faith.” Guess the White House won’t need any help with the Roberts nomination after all. Don’t these people have some abortions to stop or something? Talk about fighting like a girl. MORE »
