We remember the Cold War, the KGB, and our fear of communism. We do not, however, think of gay Moscow nightlife. But since Russian society has gradually warmed to gay citizens, Moscow has emerged as the center of the gay Russian subculture. Even during... Read More

The View - Joel Oesteen Now if this isn’t about the most pompous thing I’ve ever heard. This man, Joel Osteen, thinks he’s so perfect that he can even call God out on his “mistakes”, which according to Osteen, are gay people. I suppose I could respond by saying I’m not so sure, but I believe the real mistake was Joel’s hair…and perhaps that tie, but let me refrain. Of course this goes along with the previous Mormon belief that people... Read More

Jon Stewart Jon Stewart has continued to be a huge ally of the LGBT community using his voice to debate and dispel the rhetoric and religious ideology behind anti-gay discrimination. I find the clip below, humorous, yet interesting how Huckabee really has no defense for his beliefs other than “that’s the way it’s always been”, which Stewart factually disputes as well. Thanks Jon.
