Creep of the Week: Boebertjuice Boebertjuice Boebertjuice - Philadelphia Gay News (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s been a long time since I thought about Lauren Boebert. I think the last time she was on my radar was when she was giving Beetlejuice handies to some guy and then crying that she was acting out while going through a divorce and “simply fell short” of the values she’s happy to legislate for everybody else. But now she’s on my radar for adamantly not being “a lesbian or bisexual.” Or so she claimed in a statement “refuting a complaint filed with the House Committee on Ethics on Sept. 17, which
Creep of the Week: Anti-Trans Hysteria - Philadelphia Gay News (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I was at a concert recently and a person next to me was wearing a cross-body bag that read, “Speak Up for Your LGBTQ+ Friends.” This person appeared to be your average straight white guy. The fact is, straight guys, even those who consider themselves to be allies, do not speak up for LGBTQ+ people often enough. There are a lot of straight guys who aren’t against LGBTQ+ rights, but it’s not “their fight” because it doesn’t directly affect them. Never mind the fact that the people who are directly
Creep of the Week: Trump Spends Dolly Parton’s Death Centering Himself - Philadelphia Gay News (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I want to say Dolly Parton was too good for this world, but I don’t think she’d agree with such a statement. But I think it’s fair to say she was better than most. After her death, it seemed like no one had a single bad word to say about her. Unlike, say, Lindsay Graham and Charlie Kirk. The invective hurled at their corpses was understandable, if not exactly equal to the ugliness they perpetuated while alive. Dolly Parton is an amazing example of someone who was talented, kind and never forgot
Creep of the Week: Log Cabin Republicans and Their Hatred of Trans People - Philadelphia Gay News (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Log Cabin Republicans is an absolutely worthless organization. Actually, they’re worse than worthless because they gleefully help to advance the Republican anti-queer agenda. In an Aug. 20 piece published on Town Hall, LCR President Ross Hemminger writes, “In 2015, the Log Cabin Republicans Board of Directors voted to add the ‘T’ under the umbrella of our mission — out of a belief that all adults should be allowed to pursue their own happiness, free of government interference, as long as it
Creep of the Week: New York Times - Philadelphia Gay News (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A recent New York Times opinion piece titled “Cutting Your Parents Off Isn’t the Answer” has resulted in a lot of chatter by people I follow on Bluesky about whether or not queer people who aren’t accepted by their parents or other family members should cut ties with them. The author of the piece discusses her relationship with her father and how both of them worked to repair that relationship. Which, you know, good for them. But it is hardly a universal experience. Michael Hobbes, co-host of “I
