I Didn't Say It ...

Neil Patrick Harris, on what it takes to make a relationship work:

"If you want relationships to last, live by ‘for better or worse.’ Honeymoon phases end. They just do. We’re animals, and animals aren’t inclined to copulate with just each other for the rest of their lives. So here’s a challenge: How do you keep redefining your relationship? I think you have to find new elements that turn you on, and not only sexually. Having kids was one of those great moments for me. Watching David become another level of person, mastering this other domain, made me look at him with a whole other set of appreciative eyes. That sort of made me re-fall in love with him."

If times change, relationships change, and the way we look at them including our own, changes.

I re-fall in love with Carlos constantly because every day he does something that makes me do it.

Bryan Fischer, of the hate group American Family Association, saying that all gay people should be inherently disqualified from holding public office:

“If you get a conviction for rape, you can't hold public office. You get a conviction for pedophilia, you can't hold public office. You might even get run out of office on a prostitution charge because it's sexually deviant behavior. Now lesbianism is sexually deviant behavior because it deviates from God's plan and design for human sexually. So I believe that this is a person who, because she's involved in sexually deviant behavior, should be, ought to be disqualified from public service.”

Oh, that old gay = rape, er, pedophilia, er, deviant. Gosh, you’d think Bryan would come up with a new argument.

But, in this case, he’s alluding to Rick Perry’s attempts to force Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg to resign following her arrest for drunk driving to argue his point. And he calls Lehmberg an "open lesbian" in his new, yet old, lame attempt to gay bash a community,.

Funny, though, he’s standing up for  man that many people assume is a closeted homosexual, so maybe Bryan doesn’t have a problem with the closeted gays in office … or as the head of an anti-gay hate group who have their own radio show.

Just sayin’.

Leann Rimes, being delusional … again:

“Yes. I’ve always said that Eddie and I are a gay man’s wet dream. I sing, you can look at him, and it’s perfect.”

Oh honey, if I wanted to be with Eddie and hear you sing I’d turn on a radio.

It'd go like this: Eddie and I are getting busy and I say to Leann: "Honey? Can you close the door? From the other side?"

You aren’t a gay man’s dream; you are an intrusion in a gay man’s dream.

Paul Ryan, on the GOP's renewed enthusiasm for perpetual loser at the presidency, Mittsy Romney:

"Sign me up for the Mitt Mania. I'd drive his [campaign] bus if he asked me."

Funny that he says nary a word about joining the ticket though because, well, losers.

Richard Chamberlain, on coming out at a late age:

"I knew I was gay at age 11 or 12, but I grew up in the 1930s and 40s, when being gay was not an option. I spent a lot of time trying to be someone else. My friends knew, but in Hollywood I was a romantic leading man, so I always lived in fear of being outed. When I started writing my book at age 65, I thought it would be a guide-to-life kind of thing, but my partner at the time and my publisher said, 'You've got to make it personal, and being gay is part of the story.' … While I was writing, it was almost as if an angel walked into the room and said, 'Richard, it's over. All this fear, this self-loathing is just stupid.' The message got right into my bones, and all the fear and self-loathing vanished."

Coming out, no matter when, is just that: being over the self-loathing and the hiding and the lying.

No matter when you do; no matter what age.

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

Andrew Pierce, editor of the UK's Daily Mail, on Elton John and David Furnish having a child:

"I can’t help feeling that his decision to become a father is another grotesque act of selfishness from Sir Elton, and that the child is a little Christmas bauble he and his partner have awarded themselves. How telling it is that he was born on Christmas Day....He [Sir Elton] is also an aging, pampered, self-indulgent millionaire—look at the absurd names he and Furnish have given the poor child, for heaven’s sake! And it is the nagging suspicion that Elton—a man who is by nature an obsessive—has simply acquired a son to satisfy his latest fixation that I find repellent....[But] let me make my position clear. I am a gay man and I believe same sex couples should be allowed to adopt or have their own children—although I think that in ideal ­circumstances a child should be brought up by a mother and father."

And, as a gay man, you should be celebrating the fact that these two men want to raise a child together and not spend time speculating on the reasons why.

Maybe they just want to be parents.

Dan Savage, on GOProud:

"GOProud isn't a pro-gay rights organization, they're an organization of gay quislings and useful idiots that help to window-dress the Republican party which is really still rabidly anti-gay to it's core. It's a little window dressing, a little gay window dressing, that allows them to appeal to moderates perhaps and independents as being less bigoted than the Republican party actually is."

Nicely put, as usual, from Dan Savage.

GOProud seems to exist merely to placate the LGBT community in relation tot he GOP, but I don't think we need placating, we need equality.

Anthony Verdugo, founder of Florida's Christian Family Coalition, on the DADT repeal:

"It is a tragic day for our nation when legitimizing sodomy is preferred over the morale and combat-readiness of America's military. Sadly, those who voted to repeal DADT don’t know that although they won this battle, they have lost the war. The movement to support our Armed Forces is more powerful than ever and will continue to build strength until we win. This cowardly political betrayal of America's service men and women will not be forgotten on Election Day."

Wow.

Where to begin?

Um, gay men and women want to serve in the military, risking their lives, so they can have sex with other men and women?

Um, they can do that anywhere.

Gay men and women want to serve their country for the same reasons that straight men and women do, and it has nothing to do with sex.

Asshat.

Reichen Lehmkuhl, of the 'reality' show The A List, responding to the editor of Next Magazine, who says that each "cringe-worthy" episode of the Logo show probably canceled out 100 'It Gets Better' videos":

"I don't appreciate your bullying words. You can save your 'vapid queens' comment for, well, no one. I can't even imagine speaking this way about other human beings. That you would reduce my existence to someone who is a 'vapid queen' says more about what you don't know about me, along with the kind of person you must be. Is this seriously how a 'senior editor' at a magazine talks about people?"

Oh, to be a D-list pseudo celebrity who takes umbrage at being called a vapid queen when, if you've seen five minutes of the show, you realize he is a vain, vapid, egotistical, self-indulgent, gym rat, glamor boy wannabe

Vapid is just the first step.

Mama Grizzly Bore, on her 'reality' show, talking about conservation, as she chainsawed a tree:

"Conservationists write me these nasty letters because I support an industry like this. They write me these nasty letters using their pretty little pencils on their pretty little stationery not realizing. Where do you think your pencil and your piece of paper came from, people? It came from a tree that was harvested."

Okay, MGB, I guess by your logic, oil spills are okay because we drive cars, and so we shouldn't complain.

Maybe, just maybe, if you pull your self-involved head out of your self-involved ass, you might realize that conservationists are just looking at different ways to do things other than destroying our environment.

Seriously, MGB, you are the dumbest human being ever.

Newly elected Hawaii Governor Neil Abercrombie, on Birthers:

"It's an insult to his mother and to his father, and I knew his mother and father; they were my friends, and I have an emotional interest in that. It's an emotional insult. It is disrespectful to the president; it is disrespectful to the office. What bothers me is that some people who should know better are trying to use this for political reasons. Maybe I'm the only one in the country that could look you right in the eye right now and tell you, 'I was here when that baby was born.'"

While I appreciate his efforts, no one, and I mean no one, is going to convince anyone who thinks Obama wasn't born in this country that was he was born here.

Stupid goes all the way to the bone.

Richard Chamberlain, on gay male actors staying closeted:

actor to come out."

Hmm, Dick? May I call you Dick, because you're talking like a dick.

The reason there is still such homophobia in this country is because gay men and women are in the closet.

That ignorance of what gay men and women are is what feeds the homophobia and the fear.

Better that we all come out and show the world that we are just like everyone else--only a wee bit more fabulous!
