Woo Hoo, Pennsylvania!  We may not have any known homosexual Republican Members of Congress BUT we do have two key staffers deeply embedded in the right wing effort to eradicate our community (or "cure us").  And its celebrated in a lovely You Tube video. 

That would be Robert Traynham, Rick Santorum's Spokesfag and new best friend of John McIntire.  And Lee Cohen, Spokesfag for Melissa Hart.  I suspect Mr. Cohen might have a bit of an inferiority complex as Rob T. gets all the attention while Lee is in the background also doing his very best to keep an anti-gay Republican in power. But he doesn't get to make unannounced visits to the John McIntire show.  Nosiree bob, instead he's got to spin situations with donuts and old people  - how is that gonna get him any man on dog action? What's a spokesfag gotta do to get some credit for betraying his own community?

I just love this image ...

Traynhan and Cohen are building their careers at the expense of you and I, at the expense of our civil rights, our full and equal participation in society, our safety and the welfare of our families. 

Five days left to make sure Traynham and Cohen seek work in the private sector where they can do less damage to our families.  Traynham and Cohen both deserve to spend years toiling at low wage jobs with no domestic partner benefits and little gay tolerance, but that ain't gonna happen.  They are self-loathing asses who put their personal advancement well ahead of any sense of loyalty to those of us in the community with less power, connection or access. 

Your taxdollars are paying for research to degay sheep.  Researchers at Oregon State University and Oregon Health & Science University are conducting hormone altering experiments designed to turn gay sheep heterosexual. 

OHSU experimenter Charles Roselli is drugging pregnant sheep to prevent the actions of hormones in their fetuses’ brains and cutting open the brains of rams he calls “male-oriented” (homosexual) in an attempt to find the hormonal mechanisms behind homosexual tendencies so that they can subsequently be changed. Roselli’s cohort, Frederick Stormshak of OSU, has surgically installed an estrogen device in rams’ bodies in an effort to alter “gay sheep’s” sexual preferences and make them heterosexual. According to the grant applications, the experimenters plan to extrapolate the test results to humans—with the insidious implication that homosexuality in people can be “cured.”

Facing shocking allegations that he paid a gay prostitute for sex, prominent Colorado Springs pastor Ted Haggard placed himself on administrative leave Thursday from his church position and resigned as president of the National Association of Evangelicals, a platform that made him a rising star in conservative politics.

He used meth, cheated on his wife and engaged in "gay" sex, but he'll end up in rehab with the sheeplets praying for his cure.  Too bad he won't end up acknowledging his mistakes and apologize to the people he hurt (aside from his family of course) --- HOMOS.  Pam has a link to Haggard preaching on the evils of homosexuality. 

Some gays have put together a cute little spoof of the Tennessee RNC "Call Me" commercial targeting Ken Mehlman

Merle Jantz of Pleasant Hills had me going for two sentences.

It is with an overwhelming sense of alarm that I read that the Upper St. Clair school body is to perform "The Importance of Being Earnest." ["Wilde's 'Earnest' Brings Smiles," South, Oct. 26.]

Do they not know that this play was written by a convicted homosexual?

Oh no, I groaned.  Another homophobe takes the self-righteous high road.

But I was wrong. 

Are they not in the least concerned that, by allowing this play to be performed in front of impressionable young minds, they run the risk of turning the entire high school into Sodomites? Which will, in turn, as Sen. [Rick] Santorum has taught us, force men to have sex with dogs.

I am uncertain how far this ripple effect extends, but I live in Pleasant Hills and do not want to take any chances.

Dr. [Daniel] Iracki, Ms. [Carol] Coliani, all the rest of the Thought Police deputies, please, do your duty and stop this play from happening before I do something inappropriate to my neighbor's beagle.

His fate is squarely in your hands.

Merle hits all the high notes --- doggie sex, thought police, references to Sodom, and even the word "duty."  But what can you expect from USC -- land that killed the International Baccalaureate Program and then let the state bail it out while other school districts lack proper books and student/teach ratios.  Those are some good family values, huh? 

Merle, homosexuals throughout the land salute you.
