Queer as Folk—Spoken when one character comes out to his parents and his young nephews, Rex Wockner's International News Report, GayToday, March 17 Yale's "C" Student Can't Wait Ya know what? I can't wait to talk about ejakayshun. Gov. George W. Bush—in Austin, Texas, CNN, March 14 
High Drama Republicans
I think the primaries this year, especially on the Republican side, have been kind of riveting. Here it is early March, and already the Republican primaries have had more high drama than a drag queen returning a pair of shoes without a receipt. Dennis Miller—"Dennis Miller Rants About the Republican Primaries"—HBO March 14— www.hbo.com Dr. Laura Ballbuster Schlessinger herself isn't credible. It's been widely reported that her doctorate is not in psychology but in physiology. That's the biological study of living organisms and their parts. In Schlessinger's case those were private parts. For her doctoral research, Dr. Laura spent nearly two years removing fat deposits from rat testicles. I'm not sure what kind of insight into the human condition such research provided, but it certainly does give us a whole new spin on her propensity for ball-busting. Mike Fitzpatrick—"Reality Check: Lashing at Laura"—Milwaukee's In Step, March 8Celebrity Grandparents meet Peter Pan & Wendy

Text of a Bill-- passed 76-69 in the Vermont House of Representatives, March 16 Gay Donkeys Trash Queer Elephants
For them to argue they're included [in Republican politics]
is a bit facetious and intellectually dishonest…to say their party is
supportive as a whole, while every person in leadership is
putting out anti-gay statements...I find that interesting.
Brian Shinn--Stonewall Democrats of Central Ohio President—on the Gay and lesbian Log Cabin Republicans-- quoted in Columbus Alive, March 9-15. Papal Vagueness Paradoxically, the very limitations of his apologies, their very vagueness, will now stimulate a deeper investigation into church history that conservatives would just as soon keep buried in the dusty boxes of the archives. David I. Kertzer—"A Cautious Apology, but it's a start"—New York Times, March 16 Ask the Pentagon to Protect Us from Ourselves More Americans were killed with guns in the 18-year period between 1979-1997 (651,697) than were killed in battle in all wars since 1775 (650, 858). Handgun Control—quoted in Bob Herbert's New York Times column, March 16 |
"I'm queer. I'm gay. I'm homosexual. I'm
a poof, I'm a poofter, I'm a ponce. I'm a bum-boy, batty-boy,
backside-artist bugger. I'm bent. I am that arse bandit, I
lift those shirts. I'm a faggot-assed, fudge-packin', shit-
stabbin' uphill gardener. I dine at the downstairs restaurant, I
dance at the other end of the ballroom. I'm Moses and the parting
of the red cheeks. I fuck and I'm fucked. I suck and I'm sucked.
I rim them and wank them, and every single man's had the fuckin'
time of his life. And I am not a pervert."
Life is too short to dance with ugly men.
