Andrew Sullivan better watch his British back. The left-leaning Proceed At Your Own Riskers ain't happy with the conservative journo's Barack Obama love.

In a swooning post, Sullivan featured the presidential candidate's so-called commitment to fighting homophobia in black churches - and beyond!

From Sunday's Meet The Press:

I've talked to African-American ministers. There's a problem of homophobia in the African-American community. I will go into churches, I will go into meetings with ministers and say, "I disagree with you on these issues. This is not how I interpret my faith."
…
I would, as president, make absolutely certain that all federal laws pertaining to married couples [pertain to] same-sex couples who have civil unions as well.

As Sullivan celebrates Obama's queer commitment, the Riskers remind him of the gay gospel gaffe, a political SNAFU Sullivan seems poised to forget.

Democrats, it seems to me, also have a right to know whether the Clinton team expects another out-break of the kind of scandals that rocked and roiled the country the last time this couple occupied the White House together. Are we headed back to marital psychodrama as public spectacle?

Well, it's more interesting than the frigid Bush family.

Representative Barney Frank can rest easy tonight. Conservative homo-journo Andrew Sullivan also thinks a neutered ENDA deserves a go. Well, sort of:

The transgendered movement is so important that it's worth subjecting gay people to many more years of employment insecurity. Not so urgent, after all, is it? Gay people in red states without employment protection have to wait while pomo lefty activists in cushy gay lobby jobs preen about p.c. purity.

I'm no big supporter of ENDA and don't truly believe it will make much of a difference. Nonetheless, holding it up for transgendered inclusion after two decades of waiting seems bizarre even for the p.c. hell that is the gay rights establishment. I can't believe I'm with Barney Frank on this one. But I am.

Why are we not surprised? Sullivan's not exactly the post child for equality, compassion or humanity.

It may be tempting to call Andrew Sullivan an "inhuman monster", but rest assured he's got a heart. Somewhere.

Pragmatism and politics don't always blend, says Andrew Sullivan. The conservative journo spilled some virtual ink yesterday to take on the Washington Post's Jonathan Capehart, who participated in the gay forum.

…Capehart was selected as a questioner of the Democratic candidates by the Human Rights Campaign. He did a good job, I thought. He also fit the bill: a Democrat, and a pliant member of the gay establishment. But it seems to me that he represents something that plagues gay elites. To put it bluntly, they have limited conviction about their own equality, especially if it means challenging those who give them access to power.

After battling our many internal voices, we've got to agree with Sullivan - not necessarily about Capehart in particular, but definitely many mainstream gays' inability to stand up for what's actually right, rather than what's right for now. And, more importantly, dig into their candidates.

• Scientologist John Travolta had a few words for gays protesting his cross-dressing, John Waters-endorsed appearance in Hairspray.

There is nothing gay in this movie. I'm not playing a gay man. Scientology is not homophobic in any way, in fact it's one of the more tolerant faiths. Anyone's accepted.

As long as they assimilate to pre-determined Scientological "lifestyles" and sacrifice their rational thought, brain and soul.

We've always thought writers and artists make cute couples. And Andrew Sullivan and artist boyfriend Aaron Krone are no exception.

While old Sully makes a living slinging words, Krone's busy slinging paint. And, as you can see, he's been known to train his eye on his main squeeze. Above you see Sullivan looking muscular and majestic. Below, you see what Big Head DC supposes to be Sullivan's bottom.

We're not sure if the bum in question's actually Andrew's, but it's a justifiable hypothesis. We sent a little note over to Sullivan to get the scoop on whether he can claim those globes as his own. No word yet. We'll let you know what he has to say. That is, of course, if he can find it in his heaving chest to drop us a line.

Those of you who tuned in yesterday know that Andrew Sullivan launched a fresh attach against the "largest" gay non-profit in the country, Human Rights Campaign. Like others before him, old Sully wondered whether or not the super sissie group had inflated its numbers to give itself a little more…girth.

In an email sent to Sullivan and forwarded to us, an HRCer gets a little snippy, insisting Sullivan's getting bogged down by semantics. There is, it seems, a huge difference between "member" and "supporter". Yeah, one's attached to your body and the other keeps it up. The HRCer explains:

As HRC does not want to exclude anyone from our membership based on his or her ability to pay, we consider any one a "member" who has contributed $5.00, and we do accept contributions in that amount on our website. We also consider any one who has taken an action as a "supporter." Combined, those members and supporters comprise our "membership."

He then goes off into a pretty indepth and, thus, decidedly boring, explanation of their practices - for example, the difference between a 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) non-profit (they're both) and why watchdogs often confuse the two. We've included the entire email after the jump.

Allow us, however, to feature the some what cultish closing:

Over the next few months, HRC is going to be engaged in legislative battles the likes of which we have not seen in over a decade. We will always be open to legitimate criticism, and be willing to address and correct any fair and honest problems that our critics and our friends may point out. But this year, our major focus is on securing equal rights for the GLBT community. We still would welcome your joining us in that battle.

But first, we eat your brain!

Human Rights Campaign, America's self-proclaimed largest LGBT non-profit, hasn't yet replied to Andrew Sullivan's queries into their queer membership practices, but some of his readers sent him a little HRC-related note:

The protracted (and increasingly ugly) struggle between Andrew Sullivan and Human Right Campaign continues. This fresh round of attacks started when Sullivan took on the allegedly "largest" gay rights organization's membership numbers, writing:

The mimimum membership fee on your website is $35. How many members paid $35 or more in annual dues in the last twelve months? You claim 650,000. What's the real number? Please provide documentation to prove it.

Some of Sully's faithful readers did a bit of research and found that HRC reported donations of $7.3 million. Divide that number by $35 and you get, at the most, 210,000 people donated to the cause. So, what of the other 440,000 members? Sullivan seems to think HRC's lying. They've promised to get back to him today. Can't wait to read their creative response…

(Also, Chris Crain's all up in the mud-slinging mix. Read his take here.)

We've received countless emails, telephone calls, smoke signals and telepathic messages from readers begging for Andrew Sullivan's reaction to Ann Coulter's twitchy, defensive appearance on Hannity and Colmes.

Well, the wait is over, patient readers, because old Sullivan's finally put down that bong and released his statement on Coulter's statement that her statement was just a joke.

We've got another mystery on our hands, readers. Homo-journo Andrew Sullivan has launched a search party for the possibly sham gay porn, Him. Allegedly filmed in the 1970s, Him concerns a one Jesus Christ and his titillating take on "Love Thy Neighbor". From Film Threat:

The film would have probably been forgotten had it not been detailed in the 1980 book 'The Golden Turkey Awards' by the Medved Brothers. Despite an Internet debate that insists the film never existed, poster art from the movie's original New York run has turned up to verify it did exist. The film itself, however, is believed to be lost (how the Medveds learned of the film is not clear, though the idea of Michael Medved watching gay porno for "research" is mind-boggling).

Apparently other sleuths have been seeking this blasphemous classic for years to no avail.

Thus, Sullivan implores M. Medved: "Was this your hoax? Can you tell us now? Did you watch this movie? Or did you make it up?" Pressing questions for the weekend - the time when Sullivan likes to take matters into his own hands, if you know what we mean.
