I’m generally fond of that Irish chain-smoking “asshole” Denis Leary (his firefighter TV drama “Rescue Me” is terrific) but here’s how he’s lamely defending his use of the word “fag” in his new book: “I come from a Catholic background where the nuns were always telling

The end is finally in sight for the US election campaign (this ad, by the way, is fucking awesome) and we love how Barack Obama can say the word “gay” without flinching like a lot of politicians do. Yesterday, Obama made a stirring and stunning closing argument. Of course this means he must die.
And finally, more on the gay marriage fight in California: while gay congressman Barney Frank put the smackdown on a debate opponent, YouTube is full of supportive ads both funny and fiery but this is the one that you’ll want to send to every Christian you know:
