I Didn't Say It ....

Joan Rivers, in her new book, I Hate Everybody Including Me, on Glee:

"You know that cute Asian boy who plays a freshman? In real life he's a thirty-year-old man and he's upside down on a mortgage in Burbank. The only way Lea Michele is in high school is if she's part of some bizarre religious cult and she's come back to school with bombs strapped to her boobs. The only true character on Glee is the fat girl because in real life she is a fat girl. On Glee all the homo kids are smiling and giggly and they spend every day singing in the halls. When I went to high school, the homos spent most of their days hiding in their lockers, crying!"

She’s irreverent, she’s sometimes rude, but she’s always funny.

Love me some JR.

Patrick Wooden, “pastor”, saying no one wants a gay child:

”Young people grow up and it's amazing what happens when you become a mom or a dad yourself. It's amazing what happens when, all of a sudden now you are entrusted with a young life and that kid looks just like you and all of a sudden now it's your little boy or your little girl. No one wants their son to be a homosexual. No one wants their daughter to be a homosexual. No one, no one would want their child - even the homosexual father doesn't want his son to be homosexual; the lesbian mother does not want her daughter to be lesbian."

I think most good parents just want healthy, decent children who grow up to be healthy decent adults and not mind-numbingly dumb, homophobic—and therefore possibly homosexual—bigots who hide their hate behind the Bible.

Eh, “pastor”? I imagine your parents are not so proud of their child.

Lawrence O'Donnell, on the story that Mittsy Romney used to brag about impersonating a police officer:

“When Mitt Romney wasn't gay bashing kids whose hair he didn't like, Mitt Romney’s other favorite sick thing to do was to impersonate a police officer. In an exclusive article just released tonight by the National Memo, details emerge of a Mitt Romney who as a college freshman at Stanford University allegedly admitted to fellow dorm mates that he sometimes disguised himself as a police officer, and laid out on his bed was a Michigan state trooper's uniform. One of the people who saw the uniform said he told us that he had gotten the uniform from his father, George Romney, then the governor of Michigan, whose security detail was staffed by uniform troopers. He told us that he was using it to pull over drivers on the road. 'He also had a red flashing light that he would attach to the top of his white rambler. We thought it was all pretty weird....'”

The more you hear about the wacky shenanigans of young Mittsy, you know his bullying of supposedly gay students and his physical assaults on those students, and now the idea that he used to pretend to be a police officer, just serves to make it clear that he is not fit to be president.

Of anything.

Tim Walberg, congressman from Michigan, whose bill to allow prayer before public school board meetings has 33 GOP House cosponsors:

"This is not an issue of school prayer, it's an issue of a fact that a school board--like the legislature or Congress or the Supreme Court; a deliberative body making decisions that have the force of law--should be, if they desire--not mandated, but if they desire, and the community supports it--that they should be able to open in prayer."

Apparently in Michigan everything is just fine. Unemployment is way down and the economy is just booming—and Detroit isn’t on the brink of going broke—because why else would someone who should know something about “Separation Of Church and State” even be suggesting that prayer be allowed in public schools?

I mean, if they do this, then I suggest that Walberg and his icky ilk demand that churches teach algebra on Sundays because the line between church and state no longer exists in Michigan.

Adam Levine, on women:

"There are two kinds of men. There are men who are f**king misogynist pigs, and then there are men who just really love women, who think they're the most amazing people in the world. And that's me. Maybe the reason I was promiscuous, and wanted to sleep with a lot of them, is that I love them so much."

Um, there might be two types of men, Adam “MY birth control method is to pull out” Levine, but you are one of the misogynists.

You f**k around a lot because you love women? No, you f**k around a lot because you’re a douchebag rock star who bought into a myth and now tried to justify it.

Celine Dion, on Kate Winslet's diss of the Titanic theme song:

"The way I see it is that ‘My Heart Will Go On’ gave me the opportunity to be associated with a classic that will live forever. If I just count how many times I’ve sung it, maybe it’ll get me sick. If she feels tired just hearing it, and, like, throwing up, I’m glad she was not the one singing it."

Don’t take it personally, Celine.

Lots of people want to throw up when you start singing.

Carrie Underwood, on marriage equality:

"As a married person myself, I don't know what it's like to be told I can't marry somebody I love, and want to marry. I can't imagine how that must feel. I definitely think we should all have the right to love, and love publicly, the people that we want to love....Our church is gay friendly. Above all, God wanted us to love others. It's not about setting rules, or [saying] 'everyone has to be like me'. No. We're all different. That's what makes us special. We have to love each other and get on with each other. It's not up to me to judge anybody."

Nice that a very popular and very successful country music performer has come out for equality.

It’s about time.

Zach Wahls, on the Boy Scouts decision to review its anti-LGBT policy:

“It’s not a smokescreen. This proposal was made after Jen Tyrrell’s petition on Change.org. So even though this has been brought up in the past, it’s never gotten nearly the level of attention that it has today. And as another departure from the past, there’s never been a group-- which I actually launched in coordination with a number of other Eagle Scouts today called Scouts For Equality-- and we’re going to be working with a number of different groups to really build a community of scouts-- Eagle scouts, former scout leaders, that sort of thing--we’re really going to work toward making this policy change."

I hope he’s right.

I hope the BSA finally decides to stop being bigots.

Lady Gaga, on Madonna….maybe:

"It sometimes makes people feel better about themselves to put other people down or make fun of them or maybe make mockery of their work…And that doesn’t make me feel good at all. That just makes me feel like I’m not a good human being…I don’t even want to fight back because it’s more important to me to keep writing music. Because that’s really all I care about, is the music. Things are really different than they were 25 years ago, and that’s what makes Born This Way so relevant for me… We’re socially in a different place and it’s OK, we don’t have to all slice and hate each other anymore.”

But Madonna has to make fun of Gaga and show her nipples in concert to get press,

Stop the hate, Madge.

Listen to Gaga.

Betty White, on being a gay icon:

"Oh! I didn't know I was a gay icon. I get a lot of mail--but I don't get many bad letters--but I got a woman the other day that was so upset with me because they said, 'How do you feel about the gay marriage thing?' and my answer to that is, 'I really don't care with whom you sleep, I just care what kind of a decent human being you are.' I figure all the rest of it is your business and not mine. And not hers, incidentally."

Preach it Sister Betty!

And you are a gay icon.

James Turley, Global Chairman & CEO of Ernst & Young, calling on the Boy Scouts to drop its anti-LGBT discriminatory policy:

“Ernst & Young is proud to have such a strong record in LGBT inclusiveness. As CEO, I know that having an inclusive culture produces the best results, is the right thing for our people and makes us a better organization. My experience has led me to believe that an inclusive environment is important throughout our society and I am proud to be a leader on this issue. I support the meaningful work of the Boy Scouts in preparing young people for adventure, leadership, learning and service, however the membership policy is not one I would personally endorse. As I have done in leading Ernst & Young to being a most inclusive organization, I intend to continue to work from within the BSA Board to actively encourage dialogue and sustainable progress.”

Sounds about right.

I mean, how can the BSA say they build character in young people when they openly discriminate?

That isn’t character.

I Didn't Say It........

Ellen Degeneres, on One Million Moms trying to force JCPenney to fire her as spokesperson:
"Normally, I try not to pay attention to my haters—but this time I'd like to talk about it, because my haters are my motivators. This organization doesn't think I should be the spokesperson because I'm gay. They wanted to get me fired, and I'm proud and happy to say that JCPenney stuck by their decision to make me their spokesperson. Which is great news for me because I also need some new crew socks. I'm really going to clean up with this discount.....but I really want to thank everyone who is supporting me. Here are the values I stand for. I stand for honesty, equality, kindness, compassion, treating people the way you'd want to be treated and helping those in need.To me, those are traditional values. That's what I stand for...I also believe in dance."

It's sad that an organization can call themselves Moms when they really are just a mob of bigots. Well, here's some news for you "Moms": we're here, we're queer, and, some of us, shop at JCPenney.
And some of us will shop there more now that JCP has stood up to your bigotry.
I need some new crew socks, too.

Ron Johnson, JCPenney CEO  on the One Million Moms controversy and Ellen DeGeneres:

"We don't look at it like a controversy. One of the great things about America is people can speak their mind. And you know, the organization that believes one thing has spoken and it was great to see Ellen share her views yesterday. And we stand squarely behind Ellen as our spokesperson and that's a great thing. Because she shares the same values that we do in our company. Our company was founded 110 years ago on the golden rule, which is about treating people fair and square, just like you would like to be treated yourself. And we think Ellen represents the values of our company and the values that we share."

I'll definitely be spending more of my Gay Dollars from my Gay Paycheck that I get from my Gay Job at Gay-Cee Penney.

Fair and square.

Karl Lagerfeld, on Lana del Ray, and Adele: 
"I prefer Adele and Florence Welch. The thing at the moment is Adele. She is a little too fat, but she has a beautiful face and a divine voice."

What can you expect from some cadaver-looking-fashion-designing-vampire-wannabe that's used to working with bags of bones to say?
Have a sandwich and a long nap, Karl. It's time for you to fade away.

Brian Raum, Senior Counsel for Alliance Defense Fund, laying blame on Hollywood and San Francisco for the Prop 8 ruling:
"We are not surprised that this Hollywood-orchestrated attack on marriage–-tried in San Francisco–-turned out this way. But we are confident that the expressed will of the American people in favor of marriage will be upheld at the Supreme Court. Every pro-marriage American should be pleased that this case can finally go to the U.S. Supreme Court. The ProtectMarriage.com legal team’s arguments align with every other federal appellate and Supreme Court decision on marriage in American history."

Hmm, Brian, so Hollywood is to blame for this? And San Francisco?
Might be sound logic, but what about Iowa? Are you gonna blame farmers next because Iowans aren't goosestepping along with your hate agenda? or, maybe it's the corn?
Get over your whining. Find a new "threat" to America. And STFU.
Oh, but first, remember that the Supreme's usually stand by the Ninth Circuit Court rulings.

Shannon Minter, legal counsel for the National Center for Lesbian Rights, on the Prop H8 ruling:
"Given the reasoning of the Ninth Circuit's decision and its focus on the specific circumstances that led to the enactment of Prop 8 in California, it may be a tall order for the supporters of Prop 8 to persuade the Supreme Court to take the case. The Supreme Court normally only accepts cases when different federal appellate courts have reached opposite conclusions on the same legal issues, or where a decision has broad national implications. The Ninth Circuit's California-focused decision presents neither of those circumstances. Unless the Supreme Court breaks with its own tradition and intervenes in the case, it's possible that wedding bells will be ringing in California again before the end of the year."

Note to Shannon: Let Brain Raum [see above] in on this news.
He thinks discrimination has a leg upon which to stand.

Francis Bean Cobain, on her mother, Courtney Love:
"[She] has taken drugs for as long as I can remember. She basically exists now on…Xanax, Adderall, Sonata and Abilify, sugar and cigarettes. She rarely eats… She often falls asleep in her bed while she is smoking, and I am constantly worried that she will start a fire--which she has done at least three times--that will threaten our lives."

I know Francis is no longer a child, but still , what a horrible way for a child to view her parent--even if that parent is Courtney love.
One hopes Love hears her daughter's words and tries to clean up her act.
One hopes.


Liza, on her mama, Judy:
"The biggest misconception people have about my mother is that she was so unhappy. I think people enjoy thinking that -- some of them, anyway. They see the tragedy as opposed to the fact that she understood how to play tragedy. I remember somebody at school once said something really mean about her: 'Oh, Judy does too much of this or that, she drinks too much.' And I came home from school crying; my mother asked me what was wrong and I told her. And then she said, 'You know what? You let everybody say what they're gonna say, and we'll go get a hamburger.'"

It could be seen as denial on Judy's part.
Or it could just be a mother trying to protect her child.

Maureen Dowd, on Newt's second mistress, and third wife, Callista:
"The 45-year-old Callista has created an entirely new model for a spouse, standing mute in her primary color suits and triple-strand pearls looking at the 68-year-old Newt for the whole event, her platinum carapace inclined deferentially toward his shaggy gray mane. While a trophy wife is admired by her man, the admiring eyes of a Transformational Wife are there to propel her man to the next level. And when a woman who wants to be a Transformational Wife merges with a man who calls himself a Transformational Figure, you can expect a narcissistic blastoff."

Dowd really cuts to the point.
What is Callista's agenda? To be First Lady? Because that won't happen.
One can dream that when Newt crashes and burns, that Callista will find a young piece to cheat with, and Newt will feel the sting of Karma.
Of course, whomever she beds would have to deal with helmet hair.

Daniel Radcliffe, on marriage equality:
"Don't define yourself by your sexuality, don't define as straight or gay, define yourself as people and help another person if they're in trouble. The ultimate reason gay marriage should be legalized everywhere is because, as a kid, you look to your mum and dad and they're married, then you look at the gay couple who've been together for the same amount of time, but because they can't get married their relationship doesn't seem the same. Yes, gay marriage is about symbolically blessing a relationship, but the larger issue is about transmitting a fundamental message about equality."

That's exactly the issue.
Separate but equal doesn't work. We tried it before and realized it's a huge mistake, and yet here we are still pushing that agenda.
Equality is equality is equality.

Madison Galluccio, fifteen years old, at the hearing before New Jersey's House Judiciary Committee on marriage equality:
"I do have to say that New Jersey has made me feel discriminated, like I'm some sort of outcast. But guess what New Jersey? I'm no outcast. I am Madison Galluccio, and I am part of the Galluccio family. My parents will be married, and I will make sure that this happens till the day that I die. So please, will you help me? Help me feel equal. We aren't different. I'm not different. And I shouldn't have to be forced to feel like I'm different. This is my family, and I want us to be able to have the same rights as you. So NJ, please give me my freedom."

This speaks to exactly what Radcliffe was saying. Her family is viewed as different than others, as less than a heterosexual couple, simply because she has two dads.
How anyone can say that is the way it should be is completely wrong.

Patrick Wooden, "pastor", drag queens are of Satan:
"In the name of entertainment and jest Satan has caused many to buy a whole lot of wickedness, he’s made great inroads in the name of entertaining us and people flock out because there are those, and I’m talking about good hearted people, they flock out because they love Madea, they love the Tyler Perry movies that feature Madea, but I’m saying to them that Madea is the latest version of RuPaul it is selling perversion and drag to the African American community and I pray that the overwhelming majority, and I see evidence of it, are not buying that perversion."

Drag queens were here long before your showed up "pastor", and they'll be here long after you shut your yap.
Maybe Tyler Perry will do a drag version of you in his next film?

Scott Lively, "pastor", on the Rainbow Flag:"
"When you see the gay pride parade going down the street in the major cities, what banner are they flying over them? They're flying the banner of the rainbow. What is the rainbow? The rainbow is God's covenant with man never to destroy the Earth by water again ... In fifty years we have seen this tiny group of people--they really only represent about two percent of the population--that has grown from being a reviled subculture to now having more power in the legislatures and courtrooms of the world than the Christian church does. In fifty years! Nothing has ever grown that fast globally, nothing. Not Islam, not Darwinism, not Marxism, nothing has ever grown that fast. Which shows you that this is a spiritual phenomenon that is unparallelled and that's why God has selected it, singled out this particular behavior to be the indicator of extreme apostasy, the furthest edge of deviance and the warning sign that things are in really, really bad shape."

First off, you pigfucking asshat, we are not 2%. That's milk. We're more like 10%, and that doesn't include our straight allies. So, get your facts straight.
Secondly, we don't have power in the Legislature, but if we did, we definitely should have more power than the Christian church because the church has no place in politics.
And thirdly, you effing douche, if the rainbow is the symbol of "God's" plan not to flood the Earth, than y'all should be happy we're carrying it.
We're keepiong the dream alive.
Fuckmonkey.
