Ever since the Foley scandal erupted – and, in fact, before – gay activists, journalists, and general shit-starters have threatened closeted Republican pols with a massive outing. In the recent weeks, the so-called “List” has been compiled and quietly circulated. According to an article in The Nation by Max Blumenthal, many of the recipients are members of the Christian right, including Don Wildmon (pictured, looking like a mix between Donald Duck and a Grade-A cock sucker). Blumenthal writes:
[T]he Rev. Don Wildmon of the American Family Association, told me he has received that memo, which he referred to simply as “The List.” Based on The List’s contents, Wildmon is convinced that a secretive gay “clique” boring within the Republican-controlled Congress is responsible for covering up Foley’s sexual predation toward teenage male House pages. Moreover, Wildmon calls on the Republican Party leadership to promptly purge the “subversive” gay staffers.
Oh-so-hateful, Wildmon insists that every last gay staffer in the GOP should be fired on the spot. What’s more, with the really unsurprising revelations of fags on the party, Wildmon says he believes Speaker Hastert’s claim that he knew nothing about Foley’s fuck-ups. He tells Blumenthal:
I’m beginning to think that the homosexuals shielded their former Congressman Foley and that Denny Hastert did not know the depth of what’s going on up there.
Hmmm, we suppose it’s possible that a vast, gay conspiracy kept the Foley/Page scandal underground, but we have to wonder: does the same principle apply to sex scandals in the church?
Anyway, we’re thrilled to bits that Christian conservatives want to boot the homos from the GOP – not only will it weaken the staff of the pols, but will hopefully cause a bigger split in the party, which would undoubtedly bring bigger change for homos. (Also, we’ve had wet dreams about America actually having a viable multi-party democracy…)
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Meanwhile, our friend Michael Rogers of Blogactive and PageOneQ insists that he’ll be outing some homo-GOPers in the coming days and weeks. May the Foley scandal never die!

I’m still up in the air as to whether this will be a good thing or a bad thing overall for the gay community. The GOP hard core base is desperate to push blame for the Foley coverup onto the backs of gays and lesbians, even if it means bringing chaos to the party. Closeted gay and lesbian people working for hardcore far-right homophobes SHOULD be outed, since they are aiding and abetting the campaign against our community.
Foley has been a double-slap in the face of gay America. First, he hides in the closet and supports heinous legislation such as the DOMA and the FMA, etc. Then he abuses his position as a congressman to sexually harass and pursue underage boys – and only then does he come out as “gay”. Foley has hurt us going and coming.
No one would love to see a schizm within the GOP/conservative movement than me. If they are fighting each other they won’t have as much time to fight us. It woudl be wonderful to see the religious and social conservative base pull up their panties and leave the neocons and ubercaptialists in the sandbox. This would weaken the political position of both groups and would help put them in their proper place: a permanent minority party.
Ewwwww
That pic totally fucking freaks me out. I mean it. I’m not kidding.

The Malcontent has removed Queerty from their Blogroll.
Arrivederci, Queerty

I am coming out of hiatus just long enough to say that I have removed Queerty from the blogroll.
And if anyone else has referred to Mike Rogers as their “friend,” let me know, and I’ll remove them too.
What is most ricockulously ironic about the story linked above is that the Rogers-as-friend statement was immediately preceded by a refererence to Donald Wildmon as “hateful” for trying to get gay GOP congressional staff fired.
My only remaining question is whether Queerty’s rampant stupidity is a result of nature or nurture?

OMG, Ed Koch is gay??? Stop the freaking presses! lol. If you wallow in shit, kids, you’d best stock up on body wash.

Accoring to one recent study, the average age for coming out it now 13. These self hating closet cases who make a living perpetuating the lie that homosexuality is a character flaw are dinosaurs! They’re pathetic creatures who belong to the past, a past where gays and lesbians spent their lives in secret. Exposing them is healthy. And if their careers are ruined, too bad. Just think of how many careers they have worked so hard to ruin themselves. It’s poetic justice!
