Pope Francis says homosexuality not a crime after Benedict book revealed gay clubs in seminaries

Pope Francis says homosexuality not a crime after Benedict book revealed gay clubs in seminaries. Well, so much for sin being an issue. When is Pope Dope going to get rid of the confessionals? Like the joke about the Bible translation says “It said celebrate, not celibate.”

In a recent interview with the Associated Press, Pope Francis said that homosexuality is not a crime. The comments come after posthumous allegations by Pope Benedict that the church was being pushed by a progressive agenda under Francis, and that Catholic seminaries were being used as “gay clubs.”

Francis said in the interview that laws criminalizing homosexuality are “unjust,” and called on Catholic bishops to welcome LGBTQ people into the church.

Liberal conundrum: Kenya’s Muslim leaders want to execute gays

As difficult as it will be for liberals to choose between their radical Muslim constituency and their gay constituency, we assume they’ll go with the gays because…

Strip the burqa off to expose the true face of Islam and it ain’t pretty. But it does make for an amusing situation when liberals find out that the radical Muslims they are so quick to defend want to execute one of liberalism’s core constituencies.

Osama Bin Swishie takes a stroll around Nairobi

Times Live has the deadly details:

Muslim leaders in Kenya have called on the government to introduce the death penalty for homosexuals and to boycott their businesses, media reports said Monday.

“Death is the only punishment prescribed by Islam for such people as done in China and Iran,” the Daily Nation quoted Sheikh Mohammed Khalifa, of the Council of Imams and Preachers of Kenya, as saying.

“We are asking Kenyans to shun businesses owned by such people and further show them open discrimination as a way of stopping the beastly act,” he told reporters at an anti-homosexual workshop.

And if they don’t stop “the beastly act,” we assume that they will be stoned to death, an act of supreme kindness.

Another participant at the work shop, Sheikh Majid Obeid also blamed Kenya’s recent drought on “illicit activities.”

“The rising cost of living and drought are due to the behaviour of these Kenyans who are not ready to change,” he said.

As difficult as it will be for liberals to choose between their radical Muslim constituency and their gay constituency, we assume they’ll go with the gays because the radical Muslims made the mistake of endorsing the death penalty.

Ten demerits for the radical Muslims.

Cramming it in where it doesn’t belong: UK schools introduce gay math, geography and science

UK leaders have decided that what its school children really need is a celebration of the gay community in math, geography and science courses.

Things haven’t gone so well in the United Kingdom for the last hundred years or so. So the nation’s leaders have decided that what its school children really need is a celebration of the gay community in math, geography and science courses.

Yes. Gay math. Gay geography. And gay science.

The Village People teach gay spelling: "Y-M-C-A"

The Telegraph UK has the bizarre details:

The initiative will be officially launched next month at the start of “LGBT History Month” — an initiative to encourage teaching about lesbian, gay, bisexual and transsexual issues.

The lesson plans, spread across the curriculum, will be offered to all schools, which can choose whether or not to make use of them.

But critics last night called the initiative a poor use of public money which could distract from the teaching of “core” subjects.

Among the suggestions are:

Maths — teaching statistics through census findings about the number of homosexuals in the population, and using gay characters in scenarios for maths problems;

Can’t wait to hear how they explain that gays can’t multiply.

Design and technology — encouraging pupils to make symbols linked to the gay rights movement;

Like a giant limp wrist unfurling a rainbow flag. But be careful when spelling flag, kiddos.

Science – studying animal species where the male takes a leading role in raising young, such as emperor penguins and sea horses, and staging class discussions on different family structures, including same-sex parents;

And unicorns. Don’t forget the unicorns. They’re, like, the gayest animals ever.

Geography — examining the transformation of San Francisco’s Castro district in the 1960s from a working-class Irish area to the world’s first “gay neighbourhood”, and considering why homosexuals move from the countryside to cities;

While you’re at it, examine what an Indian was doing in the Village People.

Languages — using gay characters in role play scenarios, and teaching “LGBT vocabulary”

Role-playing gays. Now how could this go awry?

While this is definitely an outstanding addition to school curriculum, we can’t wait to see what happens when the United Kingdom’s celebration of the gay community in math, geography and science runs headlong into the United Kingdom’s celebration of the Muslim community in math, geography and science courses.

This should be interesting.

Hypocrite Elton John tired of being treated like “second-class citizen” in United States

Last time we checked, Elton John was still British. So let’s just set aside the fact that he couldn’t possibly be a second-class citizen in the United States because he’s not a citizen to begin with.

Last time we checked, Elton John was still British. So let’s just set aside the fact that he couldn’t possibly be a second-class citizen in the United States because he’s not a citizen to begin with.

Nevertheless, the washed-up rock and roll star is pissy – very pissy indeed – about California’s gay marriage ban.

elton-john-baby
Based on the Editor's friend's story, we assume Elton John turned sullen and silent as soon as this photo was shot

The Associated Press has the details:

The outspoken British piano man, who became a parent to a baby boy on Christmas Day with partner David Furnish, added that “as I get older, I get more angry about it.”

“In this country, we need more dialogue,” he said during an interview Friday. “We don’t need any more stone throwing. We don’t need any more vitriol. We need people to say, ‘OK. I’m straight. You’re gay. Let’s get along. I’m Republican. You’re Democratic. Let’s work together.’ I’m sick and tired of people being hateful to each other in this country.”

John disappointed some gay rights activists after California’s Proposition 8 banning gay marriage passed in 2008 when he said he had no desire to get married and was satisfied with his civil partnership in England.

He sang a different tune Wednesday when he praised the effort to overturn Proposition 8 and promised to do everything he could to support it, even though he is British.

A story from the Editor regarding Elton John’s devotion to equality:

I have a very good friend who is a muckeymuck executive with a major foreign corporation. One day I visited him in his office and noticed that he had a photo of himself with Elton John on his wall. Elton had one arm around my friend, the other arm around his wife, and a big smile on his face.

“Cool,” I said, “What’s Elton John like?”

He said his company had hired John to perform at a major corporate meeting. Part of the deal was that he would pose for photos with the executives and their wives after performing.

So after the show, which my friend said was terrific, the executives and their wives lined up to have their photos taken with John. According to my friend, John stood there sullenly and refused to speak to any of the executives as they had their photos taken. One by one, he robotically put an arm around each of them, flashed a big, phony smile for the instant each photo was taken, and then returned to his sullen, silent self. He chose to ignore the people who had just paid him a hefty fee to perform for an hour.

I think that if you asked my friend, he’d say Elton John treated him like a second class citizen.

Barney Frank says not allowing gays and straights to shower together is discrimination, dammit!

Ol’ Barney says that it would be discrimination if gays and straights are not allowed to shower together. Think of it as his own personal “Don’t Ask, Don’t Drop The Soap” policy.

A true story from the Editor’s past: A kid from France transferred to my high school. How a kid from France ended up in that godforsaken corner of California I don’t know, but that’s neither here nor there. Frenchy Boy was in my gym class. He got an erection every day in the showers. As a result, he had no friends and I began developing an intense Francophobia.

With that as background, let’s move on to the Barney Frank story.

Ol’ Barney says that it would be discrimination if gays and straights are not allowed to shower together. Think of it as his own personal “Don’t Ask, Don’t Drop The Soap” policy.

“To accept the principle that homosexuals can’t shower with other people is a degree of discrimination that goes far beyond this. We don’t get ourselves drycleaned. We tend to take showers when we go to the gym; when we play sports,” Frank said.

Note to Congressman Frank: Playing grab ass is not considered a sport.

How Iran defines the term "gay swingers"

The Huffington Post has the details, so let’s not have any of that “This is just another crazy conservative conspiracy” talk:

Last week, the Third Committee of the United Nations General Assembly voted on a special resolution addressing extrajudicial, arbitrary and summary executions. The resolution affirms the duties of member countries to protect the right to life of all people with a special emphasis on a call to investigate killings based on discriminatory grounds. The resolution highlights particular groups historically subject to executions including street children, human rights defenders, members of ethnic, religious, and linguistic minority communities, and, for the past 10 years, the resolution has included sexual orientation as a basis on which some individuals are targeted for death.

The tiny West African nation of Benin (on behalf of the UN’s African Group) proposed an amendment to strike sexual minorities from the resolution. The amendment was adopted with 79 votes in favor, 70 against, 17 abstentions and 26 absent …

All the usual suspects voted for the right to kill gays: Muslim nations (Afghanistan, Algeria, Iran, Egypt, Eritrea, Malaysia, Morocco, Pakistan, Sudan, Yemen), an assortment of well-known human rights violators (China, Congo, Cuba, North Korea, Russia, Vietnam and Zimbabwe), and an assortment of nations with surprisingly harsh anti-gay laws (Bahamas, Belize, Jamaica, Grenada, Guyana, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and South Africa).

None of them, apparently, believe the persecution and execution of gays is important enough to condemn or investigate.

Screw the United Nations. And I think you know where.

Gays in the military: Barbara Boxer compares United States to Iran, North Korea and Pakistan

Oh, how proud California’s voters must be. Barbara Boxer, their recently-reelected United States senator, actually compared the United States to Iran, North Korea and Pakistan because none of those nations allow gays in their military.

Who's kidding who? If there are no gays in the North Korean army, why do they look so much like the Rockettes?

CNS News has the details:

Boxer likened the U.S.A. to the Communist regime in North Korea, the Islamic regime in Iran and the Pakistani government at a press conference in which she called for repealing the ban on homosexuals in the military during the lameduck session of Congress, which is taking place now before the new members elected on Nov. 2 can arrive in Washington, D.C. and replace the members who are retiring or who were defeated.

“We now stand with this rule with countries like Iran, North Korea and Pakistan in banning gays and lesbians from military service,” said Boxer. “Our brave young men and women fight alongside allies like Australia, the United Kingdom and others who allow gays and lesbians to serve openly. Let’s not stand with Pakistan and with North Korea and Iran.”

Barbara, honey, you seem to forget that being gay is a crime punishable by death in Iran and Pakistan. And just being a citizen of North Korea seems to be a crime punishable by death.

We have a “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy. They have a “Don’t Ask, Don’t Breathe” policy.

Effeminate Obama: Nurture or nature?

The New York Times reveals one of the President’s early influences:

Mr. Obama’s family rented the guest house inside a compound belonging to a prominent physician. There, according to the neighborhood’s longtime residents, the young Obama, who had already experienced differences in class and religion in his short stay in Indonesia, was exposed to another aspect of Jakarta’s diversity.

His nanny was an openly gay man who, in keeping with Indonesia’s relaxed attitudes toward homosexuality, carried on an affair with a local butcher, longtime residents said. The nanny later joined a group of transvestites called Fantastic Dolls, who, like the many transvestites who remain fixtures of Jakarta’s streetscape, entertained people by dancing and playing volleyball.

“He’d experienced differences.”

Gay Nazis on parade: Bakery may be evicted for refusing to bake gay cookies

An Indianapolis cookie shop could be evicted from its longtime location for refusing a special order from a college homosexual group for gay cookies.

A little clarification may be in order: When we say gay cookies, we don’t mean little gingerbread men holding hands and demanding the right to have a gingerbread preacher join them in holy matrimony.

gay cookies
Three cookies for a dollar. That's what we call a homosexual value.

Let’s just let OneNewsNow explain the details:

An Indianapolis cookie shop could be evicted from its longtime location for refusing a special order from a college homosexual group.

The bakery “Just Cookies” has operated in a city-owned market for over 20 years. The president of the board that oversees the market told the Indianapolis Star that he would “hate to lose them” as a tenant — but that could very well happen because owner David Stockton took a moral stand and did not want to endorse homosexual activity.

Controversy arose this week after the owners of the bakery cited moral objections to a special-order request for rainbow-decorated cookies for next week’s “National Coming Out Day” observance at a nearby university campus. Stockton told the caller he did not feel comfortable in supporting homosexual values, especially because it would not set a good example for his two daughters.

Micah Clark of the American Family Association of Indiana says there are reports the city might evict Stockton, citing a local “anti-discrimination” statute.

They’re loud, they’re proud, they’re queer and they’re here. Well, actually, they’re in Manhattan, but nevertheless, Politico.com has their raucous reaction:

President Barack Obama was heckled multiple times during his speech at a Democratic fundraiser in one of the country’s most Democratic cities.
Demonstrators held signs that said “Broken Promises” and interrupted his speech to protest AIDS funding and the stalled repeal of “don’t ask, don’t tell,” the policy banning gays from serving openly in the military that Obama has promised to lift.

Obama showed a flash of irritation after he was forced repeatedly off his prepared remarks. “We listened to you, we heard your point,” he told the “young lady” who continued shouting at him about AIDS funding. “This is not the time or the place to do what you’re talking about.”

A flash of irritation? No, he showed a flash of confusion. After all, he’s Barack Obama. How could people heckle him?

Bolivian president says eating too much chicken makes you gay

Sure, it sounds daft. But we say don’t dismiss Bolivian President Evo Morales’ theory too quickly. It may go a long way toward explaining why Colonel Sanders was such a spiffy dresser.

Hugo Chavez and Evo Morales
Hugo Chavez and Evo Morales spoke to reporters after enjoying a delicious chicken dinner and midnight stroll in Tegucigalpa.

Sure, it sounds daft. But we say don’t dismiss Bolivian President Evo Morales’ theory too quickly. It may go a long way toward explaining why Colonel Sanders was such a spiffy dresser.

The Guardian UK has the deep-fried details:

Evo Morales has claimed that both homosexuality and baldness can be caused by the humble chicken.

Speaking at an environmental conference on Tuesday, Morales said chicken producers injected fowl with female hormones and insisted that “when men eat those chickens they experience deviances in being men”.

The Bolivian president since 2005 added that eating chicken could make men go bald.

Morales’s theories do not appear to have been immediately accepted by the scientific community, to put it mildly, and have been criticised by Spain’s National Federation of Lesbians, Gays, Transsexuals and Bisexuals, which sent a letter of protest to the Bolivian embassy in Madrid describing the president’s remarks as homophobic.

Gay softball team sued for rejecting switch hitters

Three bisexual men are suing a national gay-athletic organization, saying they were discriminated against during the Gay Softball World Series for being “not gay.”

Gay shortstop settles into his position

Do they award Pulitzer Prizes for “Headline of the Year”? If they do, we’d like to say, “Thank you. Thank you very much.”

But let’s get on with the story from the Seattle Times:

Three bisexual men are suing a national gay-athletic organization, saying they were discriminated against during the Gay Softball World Series held in the Seattle area two years ago.

The three Bay Area men say the North American Gay Amateur Athletic Alliance in essence deemed them not gay enough to participate in the series.

Not gay enough? Please explain.

The three plaintiffs — Steven Apilado, LaRon Charles and Jon Russ — played on a team called D2 that qualified for the 2008 Gay Softball World Series, which is organized by the alliance.

The alliance’s rules say that each World Series team can have no more than two heterosexual players. According to the lawsuit, a competing team accused D2 of violating that rule.

Each of the three plaintiffs was called into a conference room in front of more than 25 people, and was asked “personal and intrusive questions” about his sexual attractions and desires, purportedly to determine if the player was heterosexual or gay, the lawsuit alleges. The alliance has no category or definition for bisexual or transgender people in its rules, the plaintiff’s attorney said.

At one point during the proceedings, the lawsuit alleges, one of the plaintiffs was told: “This is the Gay World Series, not the Bisexual World Series.”

The alliance ruled the three men were “nongay,” stripped D2 of its second-place finish and recommended that the three players be suspended from participating in the World Series for a year, according to the suit.

The men are asking for $75,000 each for emotional distress. They’re also seeking to invalidate the alliance’s findings on the men’s sexual orientations and to reinstate D2’s second-place World Series finish.

Can’t we all just get along? After all, this is the only softball league in the world where every player looks forward to getting a groin pull. Where the squeeze plays happen in the dugout. Where every player wants to take one for the team. Where every player hits to the opposite field. Where the third base coach has a special sign for poking one up the middle. And, finally, where the manager has trouble putting together a line-up because half the players want to pitch and the other half want to catch.

Did we leave anything out?

Ben Domenech, a former Bush administration aide and Republican Senate staffer, wrote that President Obama would “please” much of his base by picking the “first openly gay justice.” An administration official, who asked not to be identified discussing personal matters, said Kagan is not a lesbian.

The article in The Hill continued, “Then the Financial Services Committee Chairman took a shot at a GOP member of his Financial Services Committee panel, Rep. Michele Bachmann (Minn.). ‘Any movement in which the intellectual leader is Michele Bachmann is obviously going to be problematic,’ Frank said.”

Oh, well, that’s just Barney Frank being Barney Frank. He objects to being called a “homo Communist” but has absolutely no problem implying that Michele Bachmann is stupid.

And how about his use of the term “teabaggers” to describe Tea Party members. That’s not a slur?

In Barney’s career, he’s expected us to believe that he did not know his gay lover was running a whore house out of Barney’s basement, nor that another of his lovers was smoking marijuana because Barney “did not know what marijuana looked like.”

Those tall tales were tough enough to believe. But Barney’s going too far if he expects us to believe he doesn’t know what tea bagging is.

bill-maher Bill Maher wants President Obama to repeal “don’t ask, don’t tell” regulations just to drive the right wing crazy.

But who are we to paraphrase Maher’s brilliance. Let’s have him explain it in his own words:

“Because here’s the thing about today’s conservatives: They’re not bright. They can’t keep a lot of ideas in their head at once. And by ‘a lot’ I mean ‘two.’ If we can get them all worked up about fighting the gay menace, it will siphon away all that crazy, right wing, town-hall energy from all the other big issues they’ve been fighting.”

Then Bill went what we politely refer to as totally off the deep end.

“Health care and the environment are complicated, but it’s not hard to keep track of the places that God allows you to put your pee-pee. I mean, you can count those places on one hand. And that hand isn’t something you should be using either. A year ago, if you had asked your average wing-nut neighbor what he thought about health care reform, he would have shrugged his shoulders and gone right back to eating his Moon Pie. But he’s pissed-off about it now, why? Because it’s in their nature to be pissed-off. They have a pre-existing condition called the Conniption Fits. The tea-baggers have taught us all an important lesson in modern politics: If you want to be taken seriously, act like a fucking loony-tune.”

Under the circumstances, Bill, we take you very, very seriously.

Gay radio goes off the air, causing gay activists go off the deep end

San Francisco activists are “encouraging” the new owner of KNGY-FM to bring back the gay-oriented programming it featured until recently.

What the hell is gay radio? All Barbara Streisand, all the time? Non-stop Cher? Show tunes? What?
What the hell is gay radio? All Barbara Streisand, all the time? Non-stop Cher? Show tunes? What?

To be absolutely honest, we’re not sure what “gay music” is, but San Francisco activists want it returned to the airwaves.

Yes, San Francisco activists are “encouraging” the new owner of KNGY-FM to bring back the gay-oriented programming it featured until recently.

The station’s new owners switched its call letters from KNGY to KREV and flipped its format from “gay” to Top 40.

You can’t blame the new owners for changing formats. Ratings for the gay format sucked so badly that it trailed even Air America’s San Francisco affiliate. They each had less than 10% of the audience of top-rated KGO.

Nevertheless, Bay Area gay activists and politicians consider the format flip an insult to the community and they’re encouraging the new owners to “rethink” the decision. County supervisor Bevan Dufty (another one of our favorite names) has even introduced a resolution to that effect.

The FM station can be found at 92.7, which, naturally, is on the extreme left side of the dial.
