Politics Buzz President-elect Obama has chosen Proposition 8 supporter and minister of the evangelical Saddleback Church to give the invocation at his inauguration. You may remember him for his pseudo-debate on “faith issues” with Obama and McCain.
Tech Buzz The dating site, which exclusively serves a heterosexual audience (no surprise, given that it's chair is Neil Clark Warren, an evangelical Christian), has settled a court complaint by paying a $50K fine, and is now preparing to launch Compatible Partners for gays, which will - oddly enough - use the exact same questionnaire employed by eHarmony. In other words, they're basically giving gays a piece of the pie, specifically the pie made from ingredients based on algorithms meant exclusively to apply to heterosexual couples.
Music Buzz One-time Eminem collaborator Trick Trick is making news this week with his announcement to AllHipHop.com that he doesn't want gay people buying his new album. Trick Trick personally called out gay celebrities Rosie O'Donnell and Ellen DeGeneres, saying that he was going to send a “scud missile right through their f**king cruise ship.” No word yet on whether heterosexual people have any plans to buy Trick Trick's lousy album either.
Business Buzz Californians Against Hate are leading a ban against Bolthouse, the company that makes all the weird juices, for their $100,000 donation in support of Proposition 8. If you’ve got any love for the geighz, you might want to trade that Mango Apple Homophobia Protein Smoothie for, like, a Snapple. Snapple seems lesbian-friendly, right?
Politics Buzz A “youth-oriented” offshoot of Protect Marriage aims to persuade voters to choose Proposition 8 in California, which would amend the state constitution’s allowance of gay marriage. Kids these days! It’s all kooky facial hair, dramatic staring, and ivory-colored computer machines. Can’t they concentrate on important things once in a while - like keeping people who love each other apart?
Politics Buzz The North Carolina senator and Conservative superhero (dubbed “Senator No,” for his opposition to…well, everything) passed away of natural causes. Maybe we’re hopelessly romantic, but it wouldn’t surprise us if, on every Martin Luther King, Jr. Day (which Helms opposed), if you listen really carefully, you’ll be able to hear echoes of racial slurs and homophobic slights emanate from the senator’s grave!
Culture Buzz A Christian news site that auto-replaces the word “gay” with “homosexual” posted a headline about Tyson Gay reading “Homosexual Wins Trials.” OneNewsNow.com, an outwardly anti-gay Christian website, replaces the word “gay” with “homosexual” because they think phrases like “homosexual marriage” sound much scarier. I must have missed the memo about the g-word joining the the ranks of the f, b, s, and a-words. So, do we now don our homosexual apparel?
Shia LaBeouf says he is “embarrassed” by a video which showed the visibly drunk actor in a slapping contest where he calls an unidentified male a “faggot.” After all those years of sporting the Brian Krakow ‘fro, Shia should have a profound understanding of what embarrassment is.
