After the death of Beastie Boys’ Adam Yauch, I have decided to create a new article where I focus every so often on a person who has not only done something amazing socially and politically but also someone’s whose personal life can be seen as a great example. Meaning, I want to
Continue readingLeft Over: On Irony….
It is more than just a little ironic that the first black president in US history is hesitant about giving support to the concept of legalizing, or legitimizing, the right to universal marriage . I hate the term ‘gay’ used as some sort of blanket coverage for LGBT issues, as

A few days ago the Economist magazine ran a short opinion piece on the Dan Savage “bible bullshit” speech and the predictable reaction that followed from the religious right. A good number of atheist and humanist bloggers that I read were not entirely happy with the Economist’s comments. I think

Gay news website Unicorn Booty published this beauty of a photo mosaic, featuring Rick Santorum’s headshot composed entirely of gay porn. It may not be the most artistic political portrait out there, but you’d be hard pressed to find one more appropriate. If you want to zoom in for the

I’ve been taking a little heat recently, from some of my gay friends, for not having written anything about Rick Perry’s grotesque little video. But as I explain to those fools, if I wrote a post every time some Christianist bigot in Amerika opened and closed his or her filthy

As if the tragedy at Penn State wasn’t bad enough in and of itself, people with unrelated axes to grind are now using it to get attention.

This post is my response to the recent public debate about Rick Mercer’s Rant and the subsequent Globe and Mail editorial attacking his position on the need for gay adults to come out as part of the answer to fighting homophobia and bullying. If you…

Cultural anthropologists have observed that a language and culture are keenly intertwined – language being a centrepiece and primary medium of culture – and that as one decays, so too does the other.
