"I am proud that I am a lesbian," says Suze Orman in this new video for the "It Gets Better" campaign. Orman's video is part personal story, part inspiration, and all sorts of fabulous. Bullies, you are denied! Watch inside.
According to their lawyers, Dharun Ravi and Molly Wei, the Rutgers first-years accused of webcam-spying on Ravi's roommate Tyler Clementi days before Clementi's suicide, didn't see Clementi having sex—and therefore, the attorneys say, the charges won't hold up.
Last week, Colorado Republican Senate candidate Ken Buck compared homosexuality to alcoholism. Then, Massachusetts Republican Congressional candidate Sean Bielat argued that, if short people can't join the military, gays shouldn't be allowed, either. Yesterday, Stephen Colbert mocked both of them.
Last week, a video of Fort Worth City Councilman Joel Burns' impromptu—and infinitely touching—"It Gets Better" video captivated the nation (watch here). Today, Burns sat down with Ellen DeGeneres to talk about it all. Watch inside.
Continuing its trend of animating all of America's most water cooler-worthy scandals, Taiwain's Next Media Animation has just released its take on Carl Paladino, from his bestiality emails, to his love child, to his homophobic statements, and more. Watch inside.
"I've never told this story to anyone," said Fort Worth City Councilman Joel Burns during a meeting last night. The story Burns told was about the bullying he faced as a gay teen. Try not to cry while watching this.
Tonight, Jon Stewart opened with a segment about the midterm elections. The focus of a portion of that segment was homophobic New York gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino, and Stewart didn't hold back when mocking Paladino's ridiculous hypocrisy. Video inside.
Two unexpected things happened on tonight's Factor. The first: Ann Coulter and Bill O'Reilly disagreed about something. Heatedly! The second: the thing they disagreed about was Carl Paladino. Bonus: Coulter thinks that Paladino's homophobic outburst actually helped him. Video inside.
Carl Paladino is currently "Under fire, child," (as Whoopi Goldberg said) for, well, being a homophobic idiot. On today's episode of The View, the ladies discussed Paladino's reprehensible anti-gay statements, and—in a first, really—they were all in agreement.
Tonight, Stephen Colbert took to the Report to (through ironic satire, natch) blow holes in both the argument for "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" and the claims by John McCain and others that the policy doesn't encourage witch hunts. Watch inside.
Alex Jones is a syndicated radio host from Texas. Jones is also a crazy person. Here's a clip of Jones calling increased homosexuality a "chemical warfare operation" caused by MSG found in kettle chips and juice boxes, among other things.
Congratulations, Gays! Your problems are over now that Lady Gaga held a rally in favor of repealing Don't Ask Don't Tell. Equality, she says, is the 'prime rib of America,' and everyone deserves to wear a "meat dress".
The Westboro Baptist Church—aka the "God Hates Fags" imbeciles—likes to protest. Recently, its members held a rally against Los Angeles' Jewish Federation, and—in an unlikely/funny turn of events—comedian Dave Sirus decided to turn the tables on the hate-mongers.
As many of you know, Comedy Central aired its David Hasselhoff roast tonight. And when Lisa Lampanelli wasn't making jokes about Roger Ebert's cancer (see the video here), Seth MacFarlane was making jokes about Anderson Cooper's sexuality! The video, inside.
Mel isn't the only ranting Gibson. His Holocaust-denying father Hutton—who belongs to a fringe Catholic group—recently went on a radio rant, calling Pope Benedict "homosexual" and half the Vatican "queer." Hutton's so far right, he's almost a leftist.
The drama was out in full force tonight on The Real World, when homophobe Ryan actually called the police on Preston for sticking his toothbrush in the toilet. All of the action—plus a recent, reprehensible tweet of Ryan's—inside.
Confused as to why GLAAD did not find his punditry offensive, Colbert examined his crew and discovered that he avoided GLAAD's wrath due to his love of Bud Light Lime.
Oh, Ryan. Sweet, self-loathing closet case Ryan (examples here). What homophobic hogwash do you have for us this week? Answer: a lot. Tonight, Ryan stepped up his homophobic game tenfold, and things got ugly (and real). Videos inside.
Yesterday, competing groups held marriage rallies in Providence, RI. On one side: the anti-gay marriage National Organization for Marriage. On the other: Queer Action of Rhode Island. Honestly, though? This crazy guy speaking in tongues stole the show. Video inside.
Another week, another ridiculous homophobic moment featuring Ryan from The Real World. First, it was his anti-gay confrontation (watch). Then, his penchant for cuddling with boys (watch). Tonight, more ignorant and hypocritical/nonsensical insults about teh gayz! Video inside.
