Earlier this week, we told you about how comedienne Lisa Lampanelli became our new hero when she turned the tables on the hateful Westboro Baptist Church (not really a church, more like the nutty Phelps clan posing as a church for pr value) by donating (what ultimately became) $50,000 to the Gay Men’s Health Crisis after they protested her recent showcase in Topeka, Kansas. We love that! And we also love the fact that she likes us enough to call into the GayCities/Queerty-sponsored weekly talk show, Swish Edition, with all the inside info.
“Westboro is not a church, it’s a shitty sign making company,” she tells us. And after some of the members literally threatened her physically, Lisa became angry and stuck it to them the best way she could, by donating the money in their name.
Even better news? The self-described Lovable Queen of Mean is on her way to the Great White Way. She and writers from Billy Crystal’s “700 Sundays” are busy writing a one-woman show that will debut soon. That’s a ticket we’ll be happy to pony up the cash for. Based on her book, “Chocolate Please,” Lisa proudly says, “I could be a big gay on Broadway soon,” but she’s certain she’s going to fall and break her cunt, ala Spider-Man. Don’t get that? You need to get out more.
Scott Wallis is co-host of the weekly GayCities/Queerty-sponsored Swish Edition comedy & interview talk show. He loves it when a straight woman calls him a cornholer for the whole world to hear, ’cause he knows it’s all in good fun…and it’s true.
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.

What are Fred Phelps and the WBC afraid of? Rainbows? Unicorns? A flaming pink queer apocalypse? I attempted to address this with a portrait of the good reverend on my artist’s blog at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2011/03/fred-phelps-and-westboro-baptist-church.html Drop in and let me know what you think!

They were supposed to be refused entry into Canada for wanting to picket the funeral of Tim MacLean the unfortunate kid who was beheaded on a Greyhound bus by a maniac but somehow got in. They were to be arrested if they showed up. A Facebook group got people involved and a human wall was going to be set up barring them from getting close to the funeral. Anyway they left as they didn’t want to be arrested or hurt as there were too many death threats for the R.C.M.P. to look into. They are classified as hate group here so they can’t come into Canada.
Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day who is a very devout Christian notified border asgents to barr their entry and if they got in for R.C.M.P. officers to arrest them. They left and sad to say you’re stuck with them.
I am not a violent person but these people twig a spot in me that is uncomfortable and worriesome. I wouldn’t want to be in a room with that bitch or her dad.
