Gay replaced by anti-gay

Ken Mehlman's out as RNC chair, and Mel Martinez is in. The Advocate had this to say about him:

- He scored a 0 on the Human Rights Campaign 2006 scorecard measuring support for equality and fairness in the 109th Congress.
- He is an ardent supporter and cosponsor of the antigay Federal Marriage Amendment.
- Martinez has been on the record opposing Republican senator John McCain’s states' rights stance on the marriage issue, saying, “It isn't good enough to say, 'Leave it up to the states. If we leave it up to the states, we will see the erosion of marriage that we've seen by activist courts, which we otherwise will not see if we protect the institution of marriage at the federal level.”
- He attacked his 2004 Republican primary opponent for supporting hate-crimes legislation, accusing him of catering to the “radical homosexual lobby.”
- He ran a 2004 campaign that was so antigay and divisive that Florida governor Jeb Bush called on him to stop the attacks. As a result of his tactics, the St. Petersburg Times revoked its endorsement after Menendez sent a mailer against his opponent calling him “the new darling of the homosexual extremists.”

The pro-gay GOP days are over now that the gay godfather is out, and the Republicans can do what they do best: demonize the gays and do jack taco in Congress.

Would somebody please tell the kids how to get in?

Apparently, we gays took down George Allen. And I speak for the good people at Q-Bomb when I say that they are very, very proud. Apparently there is "a network of homosexual GOP staffers on Capitol Hill who promote policies antithetical to the party’s stated 'family values.'" The kids prefer to think of it as a mafia instead of a network, mainly because of the success of The Sopranos.

And this gay mafia has to be absolutely impotent, because the kind of mafia we're all familiar would have gays marrying in the Capitol Rotunda, instead of, you know, excluded from the political process. But the kids still want to know how to get in.

And here's their favorite part:

LaBarbera also called on all homosexual staff in both major parties to be open about their lifestyle in the interest of full disclosure to the public and each Member’s constituents.

As in: "Come out, come out, and let us tar and feather you."

To procrastinate: Buying an annulment dress

Man, they dodged that bullet. The Massacusetts State Assembly has decided to put off voting on a Constitutional Amendment to ban gay marriage, so it can't be voted on until 2010 at the soonest. And really, the kids are happy. Not that any of them are married in the Bay State (hell, they make a one-night stand seem like a long-term commitment); they just don't want Artur Finkelstein back on the market. Can you imagine running into the most Machiavellian GOP consultant at a leather bar? *awkward*
