Autistic Child’s Family Targeted by Vicious Anonymous Letter
By now, you may have heard about or read the disgusting letter sent to the parents of an autistic child in Newcastle, Ontario. My first thought, despite generally being a pacifist and too small to do much damage to anyone, was that I’d like five minutes alone with a piece of rebar and the pathetic…

Contact Info for Westboro Baptist Members
Where do I even start with this? You are not required, as a human being, to weep when you read the account of the murders of 20 small children in an elementary school. You are not required to turn to your partner and ask what the hell happened, to feel a lead ball of terror…

Minnie Mouse: Spokesmodel for Anorexia (or, How to State the Ridiculous)
So apparently, there’s some fancy store somewhere called Barneys. And apparently they’ve just recruited beloved childhood icon Minnie Mouse into their army of evil, promoting poor body-image among little girls while enticing people into the store for half-off sales and cheesy Christmas music played over a tinny loudspeaker. The story is that Barneys has created…

“Who Pays for the War?” Posed by my fifth-grade daughter.
I had the following conversation the other day, when baby girl was telling me about an upcoming fundraiser at the new school she recently started attending. It reads like one of those internet memes, but this wasn’t made up; it was an actual conversation between me and my 5th-grader, and I’m sharing simply to illustrate…

On Homo Sex And Pickle Sandwiches, or, Dan Cathy is an Idiot and You’re a Jerk.
So by now, you all know the story: The president of Chick-Fil-A, Dan Cathy, says that he’s against gay people and for “the biblical definition of the family unit.” I didn’t plan to write anything about this, because one, I’ve been quietly not eating at Chick-Fil-A for years, partly because they use a good portion…

“Ain’t No Homos Gonna Make it to Heaven” Video Documents Child Abuse in Church
Another disturbing video is making the rounds, this one even more disturbing than the one in which Charles Worley calls for homosexuals to be rounded up, placed in electrified pens and left to die. In this latest viral video, a small child walks to the front of a church and begins singing a song that…

Pastor Charles Worley is a Psychopathic Idiot
Charles Worley is an asshole. The pastor of Providence Road Baptist Church in the tiny town of Maiden, NC–an hour and a half from where I’m sitting right now, lucky me–has been all over Youtube the past few days, spouting his ridiculous theory of how to get rid of the gays, lez-beans, quairs and homaseckshulls…

On Religion, Love and Government
To love is not a privilege or even a right, but an inherent trait, like the ability to breathe. If you believe that god breathed his breath into your existence, then you must also believe that he loved your love into existence. To try to deny anyone the ability to love, freely and openly and…

Amendment One
i feel as if amendment one is being read by the light of a bulb shining through the skins of my family, friends- my children. how can you cry your careful, scripted tears over the loss of a life not yet started and tell the child before you that his life means less than yours?…

Why I Voted Against Amendment One
This is what my life looks like: I am an adult heterosexual female. I live with an adult heterosexual male. We have expressed, both verbally and through the way we live, our commitment to each other. We each wear a ring that symbolizes that commitment. We share responsibilities: grocery shopping, bills, housework-though I will say…
