Boondocks Shout Out to Willie Nelson

The songwriter of Willie Nelson's “gay cowboy” song was on NPR's What Do You Know this weekend.  He's was wryly funny discussing how this song emerged from the Urban Cowboy phase of the early 80's.  He also pointed out that Brokeback Mountain is about sheepherders, not cowboys.  LOL. So I was waiting for Aaron MacGruder […]

Penn State:  we said it but we didn't REALLY mean to protect homos

In an expected (but pathetic) twist to the Penn State Lesbian Discrimination case, lawyers for anti-lesbian coach Rene Portland and the University argued that the non-discrimination policy was a non-binding contract.
