This broke my heart. It broke my heart at least partly because these students are all Mormon, and are less capable of questioning their religion than they are capable of questioning their peers or the gender roles proscribed to them, and partly because they faced such disapprobation at the hands of others that shared their …

RCimT: Saturday tab clean-up
Got a bunch of stuff that’s been in tabs for a while that need clearing out, but that deserve to be seen. Might as well do another Random Crap in my Tabs to catch up, and take back some system resources. A bunch of it is meme-worthy, so I expect you’ve probably seen them before. …

You can change their minds. You can win them over.
A Maryland Republican has done the unthinkable. He has gone from supporting those odious marriage-as-one-man-one-woman acts to opposing them practically overnight. Why? He met some gay couples, and learned they’re human beings. In an effort to get the bill to the House floor, a special joint committee was formed and legislators were left scrambling for …

Sacrelicious slash ad
Via Copyranter, here’s a (probably parody) ad for United Colors of Benetton that’s bound to raise some hackles. Funny how a campaign built around the idea of reducing levels of hatred in our society has this absurdly ironic tendency of drawing so much controversy. And it’s not like this stuff is unprecedented — just search …

Check out Moral Relativism Magazine
Our close blog-buddy DuWayne Brayton has been published in a philosophy publication covering morality called Moral Relativism Magazine. I can only assume the purpose of the publication is to retake a label that the evangelical crowd has turned into a slur, considering that moral relativism is far more nuanced than “we should do whatever we …

Bryan Fischer represents a Heightened Risk to my Blood Pressure
Via Right Wing Watch, a clearinghouse of all the ridiculous bullshit the right-wing produces as a matter of course, comes yet another gigantic spike in my blood pressure. It’s like they’re literally trying to make my head explode. In this episode, Bryan Fischer of the American Family Association says that homosexuals represent an inherent heightened …

Reports of gender roles’ death are greatly exaggerated
Via Right Wing Watch, James Dobson and Bill Bennett mourn the death of traditional male gender roles, thanks to those meddling gays and feminists. If only those roles were actually dead! Dobson: You’re concerned about manhood today, aren’t you? Bennett: Yes. Dobson: Especially in the Western world, we’ve forgotten what it means to be a …

Prop 8 sponsors are entitled to defend it in court if state refuses
Via The LA Times: The California Supreme Court decided Thursday that the sponsors of Proposition 8 and other ballot measures are entitled to defend them in court when the state refuses to do so, a ruling likely to spur federal courts to decide the constitutionality of same-sex marriage bans.
