Politics and its Discontents: Dr. ‘Chaps’ Strikes again
Needing a break from discussing the sleazy world of politics, now seems an opportune time to turn to the sleazy world of Satan. Always on the lookout for the ploys of the wily one seeking souls for his sulfurous kingdom, Dr. Chaps (a.k.a. Gordon Klingenschmitt) warns us about one of

You might think that after all that happened at the CBC this year, Rex Murphy might know when to press the mute button.You might think that with all those horrible stories about violence against women, that nasty Con dwarf might exhibit a smidgen of human decency.But no, he'd rather use his

Did you need another reason to be critical of christianity? Let’s take a look at what can happen when you preach hate and intolerance in your holy house of risible stupidity. You see, I’m all for the idea of having a meeting place in the community because people need to

…but the always reliable Pastor Pat tells us there is really no reason to worry about the ‘gay problem’ for reasons he makes clear below: Recommend this Post

Well I guess Stephen Harper wasn't kidding. If the courts wouldn't kneel before him he would debase them into submission. Not by simply soiling himself. But by soiling the entire justice system as only he could.By among other foul things appointing an Ontario judge who clearly doesn't believe in the

Family values: Not so long ago they were all swinging left, but now the Progressive Conservative caucus of Premier Jim Prentice is swinging right. Getting ready to launch, from left to right, new PC caucus member Kerry Towle, Mr. Prentice, new caucus member Ian Donovan, and an unidentified former Redford

Gordon Klingenschmitt, a.k.a. Dr. Chaps, as unhinged a ‘reverend’ as you are ever likely to encounter, has been elected to the Colorado House of Representatives. A man who brags of having once tried to rid of woman of the “foul spirit of lesbianism” through an exorcism, you can click here

On Tuesday, October 28th, Peter LaBarbera re-entered Canada for an immigration hearing, then to speak at an anti-LGBT conference, and finally on Thursday to face charges for mischief (which stem from an arrest while distributing anti-LGBT leaflets at the University of Regina). LaBarbera (nicknamed “Porno Pete” by bloggers because of
Continue readingEh Types: The Dogs of Ford
The term “dog whistle politics” refers to politicians making a public statement, which also has a deliberate unspoken message for a targeted group of supporters. Like a real dog whistle, what they’re actually saying is something only meant for certain ears. It is a despicable tactic the Ford borthers have

He is in addition to all his other flaws, a ghastly anti-gay bigot. And so it seems are many members of the Ford Nation.For when six gay activists turned up at the so-called Ford Fest to protest against his vicious homophobia.This is what happened…Read more »

So, according to Rob and Doug Ford, Rob isn’t a homophobe, he’s a spendaphobe. Rob Ford’s own actions related to pride in the not so distant past (refusing to attend, trying to stop the city from flying the pride flag for example) speak quite clearly to where he stands with

OK. I know that only last night I strongly suggested that the time had come to ignore Rob Ford.That since by now it has been clearly established that he is a crass bully, a vulgar misogynist, a low life thug, and a filthy bigot.All that remained was to defeat him, humiliate

Well I think this much can safely be said about Rob Ford. You can send him off to a luxury rehab in Muskoka, where other millionaires like him live.You can shoot him full of horse tranquilizer, so you can try to put him on a healthy diet, or load him

Well I knew the shirtless jogger Joe Killoran had won his confrontation with Rob Ford yesterday from the moment it was over.Because after that, as you can see in the photo, not even a gallon of horse tranquilizer could keep Robbie from peering nervously over his shoulder.No doubt trying to

For as long as I can remember, Michael Coren has been one the most ghastly anti-gay voices on the Canadian airwaves.A hardline right-wing Catholic who seemed to take pleasure in playing down the suffering of LGBT people, and mocking their struggle for equality.So you can imagine how shocked, and then

Well it wasn't the yellow brick road, it was just the rainbow crosswalk in Toronto's gay village.But it did lead to an amazing place. A celebration so big that two million people are expected to attend, and at one point 25 city blocks will have to be closed off.And all I could think was,

Yesterday I wrote about the considerable pride that we should all take in the progress we are making as a society, World Pride in Toronto being a sterling example. However, as Star letter-writer Blair Bigham of Toronto points out in today’s edition, there is still room for improvement: Political stripes

TweetThe day after it was revealed that Progressive Conservative leadership candidate Ric McIver attended and endorsed the March for Jesus, a group which has posted hateful homophobic rants on its website, Mr. McIver was nowhere to be found.
