"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

Welcome to 2016: ‘When the Insane Are Normal, the Normal Are Insane’

  In case you haven’t noticed, the world has gone crazy. We now live in some kind of alternative universe dreamed up by a science-fiction writer, and it’s comforting to know we’re not alone in feeling this way: Studies have produced little evidence that “gender reassignment” surgery yields mental health benefits for those who receive […]

Wisconsin’s ‘Sodomite Whorehouse’

  The University of Wisconsin opened the football season with a victory over LSU, and the Badgers were 4-0 going into their Oct. 1 game against Michigan, which they lost 14-7, and last week Wisconsin got beat 30-23 by Ohio State. Why are the Badgers losing? Because they don’t love Jesus! “[Westboro Baptist Church] will […]

Which Is Worse: AIDS or ‘Stigma’?

  Remember the herpes-infected feminists who used the #ShoutYourStatus hashtag to encourage pride in having sexually transmitted diseases? That came to mind when I encountered a chart of AIDS-related terms — promoted by the University of California-San Francisco — comparing “stigmatizing” language (left) versus “empowering” language (right):   You see we must avoid “blame-centric language” […]

Campus Insanity: Why Does Claremont Need a ‘Queer Resource Center’?

  In a review of protests last year on the campus of the Claremont Colleges (which include Scripps, Pomona, Pitzer, Harvey Mudd and Claremont McKenna), I was intrigued by something in this story: “We need to be less afraid of being called racists, classists, and ableists, and more afraid of actually being those things,” lamented […]

Confirmed: Soccer Is Gay

  You may never have heard of lesbian soccer player Megan Rapinoe, who protested against the National Anthem because she hates America: U.S. soccer star Megan Rapinoe knelt during the national anthem [Sept. 4] before the Seattle Reign’s game against the Chicago Red Stars “in a little nod” to NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick. . . […]

Never Trust a Bisexual

Has everyone forgotten the AIDS epidemic? It sometimes seems that way. Now that effective treatment means that HIV is not an automatic death sentence, and Obamacare requires insurance coverage for “pre-existing conditions,” some people seem to think sexual promiscuity is now basically risk-free, as if the wake-up call we got during the 1980s never happened. […]

The Tragedy of Lesbian Divorce

Excuse the cruel irony of the headline. You were correct in your suspicion that I quite literally laughed out loud at this story from England: A mother-of-two who repeatedly posted naked pictures of her ex-wife on social media to “scorn her for finding a new partner” has been given a restraining order. Alissia Wright, 32, […]

A Young Gay Trump Supporter Confronts the ‘Politics of Personal Destruction’

  Lucian Wintrich is an artist in New York who lost his job because of his “Twinks for Trump” campaign. (“Twink” is gay slang for an attractive young male.) If you think Democrats are pro-gay, you should know what kind of persecution they inflict on gay Republicans: Wintrich had his social media accounts shut down, […]
