You would think, IN THIS DAY AND AGE, that bullshit of this sort was confined to the dustbin of history:

Woman forced from federal building for wearing lesbian t-shirt

(ASSOCIATED PRESS: LOS ANGELES) A woman wearing a T-shirt promoting lesbianism said she was forced the leave a federal building Monday by a security guard who didn't approve of her attire.

Lapriss Gilbert said she was picking up a Social Security card for her son when the guard was offended by her "lesbian.com" shirt and threatened her with arrest. more…

Here's the latest "So Gay" installment from The State. It's too bad you can't find out any information about this in The Post & Courier, but then again, no one around here wants to be rude to our guests. more…

SCPRT Director Tells His Version of "SC Is So Gay"

D. A. Smith — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 11:39:31 -0400

Good Lord, all he had to do was say he caved under the "outrage" of a bunch of knuckle-dragging legislators (who were already no friends of ours here in the Lowcountry) bent on demonizing queers for political gain since outright racism has lost a lot of its charm as a campaign moneymaker. But, nooooooooooooooo!

Yesterday, SCPRT Director Chad Prosser penned a letter to the Anderson Independent-Mail News giving his version of events. more…

Some More "So Gay"

I heard from Ian Johnson of OutNow again last week and he clued me in on the identity of the "low level" SCPRT who had supposedly resigned.

The mid-level employee who signed off on the "South Carolina is So Gay" ads in London subway tunnels has quit prior to being dragged over the coals for suggesting gays spend money in our fair state.

Personally, I think he should be written-up for false advertising. more…

We Don't Like Yer Kind Around Here

I read this in The State this morning without the benefit of coffee. This ought to give all those conservatives up for reelection to the General Assembly something to scream about all the way to November. more…

US Senator Jim DeMint Adds Gay-Bashing To The Resume

D. A. Smith — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 23:15:40 -0400

WHAT?!!!!!

In a classic case of "you're only as good as your people are", US Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC) has a link on his website's disclaimer to a video that is prima facie unfunny and a fine example of gay-bashing...plain and simple.

You would think that a UNITED STATES SENATOR would have a better grasp of what his website masters and his political consultant Warren Tompkins are up to back at the home office. more…
